50% State Income Tax Boost Asked
TOPEKA—(U.P.)—Gov. Fred Hall today asked the Kansas Budget Legislature to increase the state income tax 50 per cent.
At a joint session of the House and Senate, he detailed his proposals that a record $262,000,000 be spent for all activities of Kansas state government in the fiscal year beginning next July 1.
He said $9,610,564 in new revenue would be required in the period to keep the state out of the red.
The 50 per cent income tax boost was proposed by the threeman governor's tax advisory committee, of which Ethan P. Allen, chairman of the political science department at KU, is a member.
The governor estimated the higher income tax rates would produce $8,615,000 annually.
Two Additional Changes F-
Two Additional Changes Suggested Gov. Hall suggested two additional tax changes to the four he forwarded to lawmakers individually before the start of the 1956 session.
These were to cut the discount on cigarettes to wholesalers from 8 per cent to 4, and to broaden the Kansas sales tax to include sales to retailers of wrapping material,
twine, paper bags, sealing tape, bottle caps, cartons and similar articles.
The governor said the first would raise $222,000 a year and the second $500,000.
But his main money-earning proposal was the one-half boost of the income tax—which he estimated would raise $6,740,000 annually from individuals and $1,875,000 annually from corporations.
He also repeated these other revenue recommendations:
Repeal sales and use tax exemptions given contractors on governmental, educational, religious and corporate projects to raise $2 million a year.
Require one per cent interest payments to the state on its many millions of inactive funds deposited in banks—to raise $392,500 annually.
Extend the sales tax to include services of hotels, motels, laundries and dry cleaners and retail sales of 3.2 beer—to raise $1,250,000 a year.
Columnists Bored By Kelly-Rainier
LONDON (U.P.)—Two London newspaper columnists said today the Kelly-Rainier romance is a bore.
"I wish they would live happily ever after and come to the end of it. It's giving me an increasingly agonizing pain in the neck," the tabloid Daily Sketch's columnist Candidus wrote.
The Daily Mirror's columnist Cassandra said, "Of all the great boring romances of the 20th century, the Kelly-Rainier contest threatens to be the most formidable."

UN Conference Elects Officers
Mrs. Joe W. Ostenburg, wife of the president of the Kansas Teachers Association, was elected chairman of the United Nations conference at its closing business session yesterday.
Paul LeGer, former chairman, was elected vice president. The business meeting also included a summary of the meeting by Dr. Clifford P. Ketzel, assistant professor of political science.
At the closing luncheon James Green, a member of the State Department, emphasized the importance of the special agencies of the United Nations. Although they may be a lot of trouble, Mr. Green said, they serve an important function in coordinating the efforts of countries toward non-political goals.
In the Monday discussion on the peaceful uses of atomic energy, speakers concluded that economic power produced through the use of atomic reactors is a definite possibility but will take time.
Happy Birthday, Campanile
