CAPITOL
SLANTS
BY John M. Zwach

eoeoSotd66S6S616S6S6SoSoSo oSoSSSoSoSoScScScScSSSSS
From a whole mass of tax re-
form proposals the committee on
taxes is finally assembling a pro-
gram through which it aims to re-
heve real estate to the extent of
approximately $40,OOO,OOO.
The measures are ready to be
sent from committee and when
they reach the floor this legisla-
ture will have it's first opportunity
to discuss the paramount question
of tax reform.
The measures as they will be
presented include a combination
gross income and sales tax. Under
its provisions, manufacturing and
wholesale industries (including
farmers) would pay a one-half per
cent on the gross business. Retail
ers and wage earners are listed at
one per cent of their gross in
come. Income from this measure
would replace state levies against
real estate.
The second and more controver-
sial proposal presents a two per
cent retail sales tax, the revenue
to be distributed to schools on a
basis of school population.
1t is contemplated that these
taxes would completely replace
the over-increasing state levy
which is now 11.95 mills, and is
still mounting, and leave sub
stantial sum to pro rate to the
various school districts, thereby
enabling them to decrease levies
against real estate for local pur-
poses.
The final outcome of these
measures is very doubtful, wheth-
er they can run the gauntlet of
legislative scrutiny and retain
their identity remains to be seen.
Success of this session hinges
upon the final outcome of the tax
measures.
Legislators are pursuing a pol
icy of passing bills under what is
termed Suspension of the Rules. F"
This method of procedure is quite
annoying to new member. All
bills must have three readings be-
fore they reach their final pass
age stage. In general procedure,
a few days intervene before a bill
reaches its final reading and ap-
pears for passage. This enables
an individual to study the meas
ures before being asked to vote
upon them.
Under suspension of the rules a
bill is given its three readings in
rapid succession. Having had no
previous knowledge that a parti-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July IT, Grey-haired and hollow-eyed, her body wasted to less than 70 pounds, Anna Vancleve, 48, started up sud- denly in hospital cot here today to give detectives an explanation for her emaciated appearance.
 The only explanation that she offered officers was that for the past five years she had been lock- ed in a garret prison, with only scraps for food, because my hus- band didn't like my cooking"
 She looked almost 80 years old when investigators found her in bed in lonely third-story room which was bereft of light because of boarded windows and nailed down shades.
 Her eyes were sunken deep in her head and her skin hung on her bones in loose bags. There were sores on her pock-marked face
