LIQUOR Tax For Counties. Towns

Liquor Tax For Counties, Towns
Revenue from six per cent tax
added to prices charged at state
liquor stores would be divided be-
tween counties and towns under
terms of bill which got its first
approval in the House Tuesday.
Tax levies and bonded debts of
these municipal governments are
limited by law and some of them
are hard pressed to meet obliga-
tionS for proper local government
and necessary improvements. Mon
tana's capital faces that predica-
ment.
In the average county seat town
where liquor store sales average
about 100000 per year, the $12,-
600 additional revenue will be more
than welcome. In the cities it will
mean less burdensome levies on
property.
The bill is opposed by many who
hold that the liquor monopoly act

 Most pleasant part of Jones' duties - and the most exacting - is his weekly tour of the entire state of Connecticut during which he personally contacts and chats with BULLETIN correspondents, determines their needs, makes sug- gestions, welcomes criticism.
 .''It is the only way of keeping your hand on the pulse of the BULL LETIN readership," he explains.
 He hopes his job will never be- come so important that he will have to discontinue this. At pres ent, he is ably assisted by an as sistant, George Williams, IT,. for merly of New York, and Hartford's s Sammy Hester. The three man team takes care of newsboys, newstands and clerical duties.
 Sincerely "nuts about the job, Bob considers it big opportunity. With the BULLETIN, he points out, he is in on the ground floor of the fast-growing sole Negro weekly in the state. Like the. rest of the people who are steering the course of the paper, his dream is to lift it out of the category of a strictly Negro instrument and making it the liberal voice of many minority groups throughout New England.

A pleasantly aggressive person with loads of drive, Bloomfield born Bob Jones is now embarking on what he feels will end up as 8 whirlwind subscription campaign.
 Circulation-wise, it is Bob's be- lief that subscription campaigns these days must be twice as inten- sive as in the past. He feels that the number of persons who read one newspaper is much greater than it has been in recent years. While this means that there are no lesser number of people reading papers, it also means that, with out increased effort, revenue is re- duced. And while Bo bis certainly interested in readers, he looks at his job as one having the all-im- portant function of producing pay ing customers so that his organ ization can stay in business for a long time to come.
 Jones is taking his circulation job with the BULLETIN as seri- ously as he took his recreational and athletic activities at Windsor High. Hampton University and West Virginia State College.
 At Windsor he was basketball and soccer star. Hampton class mates acclaimed him for his prowess in tennis and soccer.
 An Omega Sigma Chi member, Jones made quite name for hlm- self at Hampton, not only in sports, but also in the field of extracurrl- cular activity and leadership.
 His Junior year at Hampton found him elected class president. Tn his senior year he became pres ident of the Student Council and head of the Mems Council.
 White House Guest
 In 1942 Bob represented the stu dent council at a postwar confer ence of student government repre- sentatives and school editors to plan a cooperative school program. The group, drawn from all over the nation, visited cabinet officers, heads of departments and was en- tertained at a White House lunch con by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
 Every man has hero and BOD s is Dr. Charming H. Tobias, vener- ah1e ex-YMCA executive, who now heads the Phe1ps-Stokes Fund m New York. Bob's contact with Dr. Tobias was made during his days at Hampton when the New York national leader was chairman or the university's board.
