Everything from sulphur and molasses to pink pills has been suggested, but,.the physicians have been undble to arrive at a harmonious diagnosis and cure. Instead of tackling the state’s financial problems the first thing last March, the budget Has heen allowed to go begging. while legislative attention has been concentrated on smaller and more localized matters. Perhaps the reason for this is that politicians wanted to be sure that bills affecting only their particular localities were given attention . before the Legislature became tangled with state problems. from lobbyists and from ,home have cramped legislative freedom to deliberate and act. Then again maybe the fact that party lines have been washed away and politicians cannot grab onto the old’ party. life-lines has made the the gentleman a little more conservative when it comes to doing something. Anyhow, it was not until last week that the Senate hegan reviewing Merriam’s tax program. The Assembly has posals, practically without alteration. These are the income tax, the increase in corporation franchise tax from 2 to 4 per cent and the raise in the banking tax from 6 to 9 per cent. To grease the wheels of the squeaky tax-raising machinery, a joint legislative committee, made up of seven members of each house, has been formed. Senator Walter Duval, the committee chairman, has painted the first bright colors on the gloomy taxation picture. He has found. that improved business conditions promise a greater return to the state than was anticipated three months ago This fact, plus a franchise shave $9,000,000 from new tax needs of the state. The Legislature will only have to scare’ up $87,000,000 instead of $96,000,000. At its first meeting, the new committee indicated it will snub the so-called nuisance taxes recommended by Merdisfavor of the proposed theater ticket tax. The joint committee was responsible for the first setback the governor’s tax program has received in the Assembly . Administration forces attempted push the 1 per cent tax on the transfer of all real estate equities to join the other Merriam measures passed by the Assembly for consideration in the Senate. vba After a wrangle, it was decided to delay action on the bill pending the report of the joint committee. During the debate, amendments were added which cut returns from the levy in two. ta Getting Somewhere The first major suggestion coming out of the newly-formed joint tax committee was. a “minimum method” of financing the state’s 1935-37 budget. The new program, which many observers feel is more logical than the governor’s and which would not be overburdensome to taxpayers, would raise $97,000,000 —— or $57,200,000 less than Merriam’s suggestions. Senator Duval, who presented the plan, said that Merriam had underestimated existing sources of revenue by $13,500,000. He added that the plan does away with the necessity of a special election over the utility transfer problem. A gross transactions tax would also be avoided, one. of the big budget balancing proposals. Further reduction of the general fund deficiency was suggested through bond financing of $4,000,000 budgeted for institutional Perhaps pressure ; the jump on the upper house by having . passed three of the governor’ s tax pro. tax on public utility nasa would prohibit the state free employmade possible with the return o eir . ment agency from: furnishing strike property to county tax rolls—will . When asked if he thought if the gross receipts’ levy was a reasonable tax, he said he believed.so. This was taken to indicate that if a budget program cannot be worked out, he will back Assemblyman Latham’s gross receipts bill, which would raise $200,000,000 during’ the next biennium by placing a 1 per cent levy on all gross receipts. This measure is ready for immediate action. Of course nothing definite can be said yet, but it is pretty generally conceded—at least by the observing spectators—that Merriam’s budget program can’t possibly go through, as is. It is believed that he has placed his figures too high on practically all his items Hence the other programs that are now cropping up during the closing weeks of the session. Perhaps because he sees this handwriting on the wall, the governor is planning.cuts in salaries and other economies in the various state departments. He is introducing legislation which will give the state personne] board power to reduce salaries in the ; Califorina civil service. Reduction of . excessive salaries is expected to reduce the budget needs $200,000 biennially. Incidentally, after the Senate’s refusing to confirm Merriam’s appointment of John C. Porter to the last vacancy in the personnel board. the upper house gave its nod to Arthur J. Brown to the post. Also, Merriam has ordered a “reor. ganization” of the employes of the . state-owned San Francisco harborto cut costs $500,000 during years. Labor Legislation Labor took one on the chin at Sacramento recently with defeat of the 30hour week bill in the Assembly. The same measure was tabled in the Senate . labor and capital committee. The blow . was not aimed at labor, however, but at the danger to California industry . that such a state law would create. The Assembly favors the idea and has passed a resolution to memorialize Congress to establish a nationwide 30hour week. Two other bills favoring labor have been passed recently, both in the lower house. One measure would extend the prevailing wage law to goods fabricated for public works projects. The other breakers.

Two Years ago Riley was an adyocate for the gross transactions tax, but he znade no mention of it in his new plan. This was taken to mean that he now favors a sound budget-balancing program, with drastic consumers’ nee eliminated.
