within the terms of the rules of the
convention, and as delegates left the
hall their faces mirrored the results
and the tensions of the hard-fought
campaigns, some of which have gone
on for many months.
A constitutional change voted the
first day of the conclave shifted the
battle-ground from executive presi-
dent and made the position of execu-
tive secretary the paid officer of the
Organization; thus there were three
races, one for executive secretary,
one for president and one for vice
president. The executive board was
reduced from IL to by the amend
ment.
In what has been termed the
largest convention in recent years
and under the heavy gaveI and firm
direction of James Leary, AFL-CIO
Regional Director, delegates sat and
balloted for three hours in choosing
their leaders for the next two years.
The post of executive secretary was
sought by Mr.. TIMBER, Perry Melton,
KahspeH Painter, and Bernhard Mer-
KEEL, Bozeman Carpenter. 1t took two
ballots to elect.
Joe Crosswhite, Kalispell Operating
Engineer, was elected president over
Charles Baldwin, Billings Machinist,
in a nip and tuck race, and John
Miller, Billings, of the Oil Workers,
beat out Vesta Shaw, Great Falls,
from the Hotel and Restaurant EN-
ployees and Bartenders.
Executive board members, elected
by caucus of the delegates from each
district, and their districts are:
District 1, Northwestern four coun-
ties), William Shawl, L&SW, Libby
District 2, (Missoula area), Sally |
Doull, HIRE, Missoula;

SEVERAL NEW POLICY
STATEMENTS
Resolutions coming out of the meet
ing included:
Approving nultipurpose use for
the greatest benefit of the public in
wilderness areas and increasing camp
ing facilities;
Organizing annual conferences
for local council officers at each con-
vention; and
Urging greater participation in
the political action program of the
organization.
The convention went on record
as favoring significant consulta-
ton" with the faculty at the units
of the University System before
presidents are selected, and voted
to take an active interest in pro-
noting such policy in order "to
get things quieted down at the Uni
versity". ~
Another major resolution directed
the executive secretary to contact the
chairmen of the two political parties
relative to delegates from labor APP
pearing at their state program and
policy meetings to seek party ap-
prevail of a little Wagner Act"
which would have to be in the form
of a referendum on the 1866 election
ballot.

Mr.. Tobriner said over Radio

In his attack on the police

whether the race question is

ment costs by refusing to reas-

The other recommendation

Present Distribution
At present, two-thirds of the
liquor profits are returned to
the localities on the basis of

eral census every 10 years.
Since the cost of public
education is the single greatest
expense of local government,
the commission said, ''it Is rec

basis of students in average

This would help localities

Virginia may expect a sur
plus of $40 million at the end
Of this fiscal year and can op-
crate for the next two years
without enactment Of a retail
sales tax or material increases
in existing sources Of revenue,
the Governors Tax Study
Commission reported yesterday.
The 13-member commission,
headed by former Gov. Thomas
B. Stanley. filed a report max
ing % recommendations to
Gov. Harrison and the General
Assembly which will convene
January 8.
"If the problem is confined
to one Of simply meeting essen
tial needs for the next bien-
mum and making the adjust
ments recommended by this
commission" the report said,
sit wuuid appear that little or
no additional revenue will be
needed beyond the Mount
provided by existing tax
sources.
"a sales tax should not be
enacted by the General Assem-
bly, unless further changes are
made in the present tax struc-
ture in the interest of fairness
and economic growth"
Two Needs Stressed
Two areas in the financial
structure most in need of cor
receive treatment are the
States distribution of sc h COL
funds to the localities and the
local taxation Of public utility
property. the commission said.
1t would establish a new for
mula under which is separate
sources Of State aid to localities
for public schools would be
combined into a single fund.
1t would revise the method
by which pr operty of public
utilities is taxed locally over a
transitional period of the next
five years.
Many of the 20 recommended
tons are highly technical in
nature and would cost the
State only about So million to
put into effect. If the State
finds It necessary to make up
the additional cost, the COM
mission suggested 1t could re-
duce the basic income tax ex-
emption to $500 per person.

temporary" excise taxes it i'm
posed on beer, wine. whisky
and cigarettes in 1860 and ex-
tended for another two years in
1862.
The commission said its re-
commentators primarily are
designed to iron out inequities
that now exist within the
framework of present sources.
Realistically" the report
said, "if any further material
changes in our tax system are
to be made, 1t must be done at
a time sales tax is enacted or
any substantial increase is
made in income tax rates"
1t said that If the time comes
when sales tax is needed to
finance expanded services,
some of the new revenu e
should be sent back to the To-
calities "but only when the
General Assembly is fully salts
fled that the local governments
are making full and equitable
use of their tax resources and
powers"
Equitable Formula Suggested
1t suggested as an equitable
formula that the localities por-
ton be distributed on the basis
of one-half, in proportion to
where the tax is collected, and
one-half in proportion to the
school population.
In discussing its propose d
new school aid distribution
plan, the commission noted
that it had considere d but
abandoned a proposal to deduct
that portion of Federal aid for
each pupil in average daily at
tendance, which was in excess
of the amount spent in local
funds for each pupil.
Concerning the proposed con-
Gently discarded formulas, it is
still too complicated and the
resulting distributions among

this to say:

aroused Of legislative and ad-
ministrative legerdiomain."
All Of the localities near
Washington would receive
more money from the state
under the proposed new formu-
Ia than at present. Using fig
ures available for 1923. the
additional revenues would be in
round numbers:
Arlington. $614,0O0; Fairfax
County, $2.8 million; Prince
William. S530.000; Loudoun,
$l60.000 Alexandra. $500 900:
Fairfax City. s1s1, 900 and Falls
Church. s71.000.
Before taking its recon-
mendations to revise the meth
cd of taxing property Of public
utilities, the Stanley commits
sion made this observation:
"As localities have been
pushed for more revenue, they
have tended to put the burden
where there is the least danger
of immediate voter reaction: as
a consequence there is a ten
dency to raise local taxes or
the very business that are most
important to the communities
total economic health"
Plan Is Described
While the public utility ta1
revisions are spelled out ir
technical detail. the commission
described the plan in these gen.
eral terms:
Eliminate the negotiable
taxation of public service, rea
and personal property in rela-
ton to non-utility real and per.
sonal property. This can bt
accomplished either by equaliz.
ing the tax treatment of utility
and non-utiHty property or by
fixing a maximum true taS
rate for public utilities, letting
the locality collect half and the
State collect the other half
distributing it on the basis of
! population"
The present method of the
State Corporation Commission
in assessing public utility prop
erty at a uniform 40 per cent
zen ables and encourages the
people of a locality with large
public service values to tar
public service corporations
disproportionately and thereby
pass the cost of their own gov
eminent on the public service
