Civil Service

Heads ef the Board of Education
and the library commission today
informed the Civil Service COM
mission that they were unani-
mously opposed to civil service for
their employees.
The opposition was expressed in
a letter TO Joseph Wedda, preSi-
dent of the Civil Service Commits
sion, from E. M. Lane, secretary of
the Board of Education. He said
that the board has its own form of
civil service for its employees which
is conducted without any addi
tional cost TO the city.
Adam Strohm, librarian. told
Wedda that his commission deemed
such a transfer of power inadvis-
able.
Common Council had instructed
both commissions to confer with
Wedda with view to placing a
charter amendment on the Spring
ballot which would put them under
civil service.

.|ntdngibIes Tax
Needs Change,
M Dean Says

II legislative amendments fail
TO clarity Michigan's new in
tangible tax law. different forms
of taxation - possibly an income
tax-may prove necessary, Edwin
Blythe Stason, dean of the Univer-
sity of Michigan Law School, told
members of the Economic Club Of
Detroit at their weekly luncheon
meeting at Hotel Book-Cadillac.
The new law, which went into
effect January ! with a March !
deadline for payment, is expected
TO raise S6000.000 annually in
revenue from taxes on intangibles.
MEANS OF IMPROVEMENT
"If the Legislature had left
the law as IL originally stood"
SAID Stason, land not added a
ceiling tthe tax on income-pro-
ducing intangibleS will be 6 per
cent of the income. but in no
case more than three-tenths of
] per cent of the par value OF
each iteml and had not inserted
the provision exempting from
taxation the stock of companies
whose properties are all within
the state 1t would have been a
better act"
Citing inconsistencies in the new
levy, Dean Stason pointed out that
a person owning stock with a PAL
value of 500 would pay 30 cents
taxation, while another individual
owning stock with a par value oil
$40. which yields the same income
as the 500 stock. would be. sub.
lect 10 a levy of but 3 cents.
