It also calls for an end to the
practice of using surplus funds
to help balance the States
operating budget and suggests
legislation to earmark surpluses

The report was prepared by
the Assembly's special Commit

Recommended Before
It was the second year that

finance long-term bond issues
for capital improvement was 6
cents per 500 in 1851 and now
appeared to be heading toward
1858 cents in 1858.
The committee said that the
State had provided a Is per cent
reduction in the individual in

into the bond market for $685.

The next year some So million
in general funds were used to
effect temporary reduction in
the real estate tax and reduced
the income tax again despite the
fact the State was borrowing
$l4.5 million for capital i'm

Critical Of Revenue Use

NIL Type Of Player Droft
Is Proposed for Baseball

ST. LOUIS, June 2 (P.-The

ganized baseball may adopt the
free agent draft plan" now used
by both pro-football and basket
ball in an effort to solve the
critical minor league problem.
The baseball weekly, in dis
patch from New York by Dan
Daniel. said such plan would
help restore the balance of power
by giving the tail-end clubs a
chance to land good young
players.
I'm fact, it would be a share
the-wealth program in which the
major leagues not only would
give the minors a chance to
gather some of the golden talent
but it also would tend toward
more equitable distribution of
wealth within the majors them
selves" Daniel wrote.
Under the system. the Sporting
News said, all college, high
school, American Legion Junior
and sandlot players would be
tossed into a pool each year
Then they would be drafted, first
by the major league clubs and
then by the minors, in the in
