NEW REVENUE
Continued from page II

enue whether or not Merriam ap-
proves.
Retention of utility taxes would
provide the state with $60,000,00O
but the electorate voted in 1888 to
return these taxes to the counties,
and Merriam is opposed to delaying
the shift.
Oppose Ad Valorem Tax
An ad yalorem tax, or emergency
tax on property, also would solve
two-thirds of the financial problem,
raising approximately $66,000,000
But the administration is flatly
against invoking this far-reaching
revenue measure, despite the insis-
tence of some experts that it would
not work hardship on property
owners because it would be balanc-
ed by return of utility property TO
county tax rolls.
In addition to outlining budget
requests and suggesting methods
of raising new revenues, Merriam IS
legislative message is expected to
stress economy in government, with
a recommendation that $4,000 be
made the top salary for state Off
cials other than those elected by
the people.

TALLY|NG UP
SAAR VOTES
By RICHARD ]. MCMILLAN


Copyright, 1885, by United Press
SAARBRUCKEN, Jan. 14-Tell-
ers from neutral countries, under
military guard in the Wartburg
hall, counted today the plebiscite
vote which will decide the fate of
the 100000 people in the 1888 square
miles of the rich Saar territory.
The count was delayed seriously
because of confusion in the ballot
boxes and the tellerS spent most OF
the day sorting them by districts.
They hoped to complete their count
by a. m. tomorrow. 1t is to be an
nounced to the world at a. m. to-
morrow g a. m. psf.
There were 539 300 names on the
voting lists-Saarlanders and per-
sons who were living in the Saar
when the Versailles treaty was
signed. Estimates of the propor-
ton of eligibles who voted ranged
as high as SO per cent. There were
three alternatives for voters to Sc
lect from-to remain under League
of Nations rule; to become French.
or to return to German nationality.
Most experts predicted that rs
per cent or more of the voters would
be for return to German national
ity. They based this estimate on the
supposition that followers of the
anti-Nazi united front numbered
100000, or slightly less than 20 per
cent of the electorate, and that per-
haps as many as five per cent of
Saarlanders aside from them may
have voted against return to Ger
many under its present Nazi rulers.

Speaker of the House Joseph w.

clause abrogation because there us
so much involved"
"It means too much to the coun-

THE effect on the country has to
be taken into consideration to a
certain extent" Byrns said, adding,
however, that he believed in event
of an adverse decision, "the mat
ter could be remedied by legisla-
ton"
"Of course, it may look a little
doubtful from the questions some
of the justices have asked" Byrnes
! said, 'but that doesn't necessarily
mean anything"
Byrnes predicted divided opin-
ion.
Asked if he believed congress
might seek TO enlarge the member
ship of the court if the decision was
adverse, Byrns said:
"I don't think the country Would
stand for doing that. / wouldn't"
