Brown said this week a new study of the business recovery shows that estimates used last January in to balance the state’s 1959-60 budget were remarkably accurate. “People who don’t understand the way in which we worked out the tax program keep looking at improved business figures and saying we should cut back the tax proposals,” the Governor said. “What they .don’t seem. to realize is that we anticipated a rapid rate of economic upturn and based the tax program on that assumption,” he said. “I would be delighted to be able to say that we now need less taxes than anticipated,” Governor Brown added. “Unfortunately, that is not the ease,” he said. “If we are to have the balanced budget that this state needs after so many years of deficit financing, we need every dollar sought.” Director of Finance Bert W. Levit reported to the Governor that the new study shows that the gross national product will be about $476 million, just 1.7 per cent above the level used in budget estimates. “However,” Levit said, “peri aT unless there ist siderablely greater ‘rate of rise in personal income it will not reach the level assumed for budget purposes. Personal income, he: pointed out, is more important than gross national product in determining tax revenues, Levit said actual general fund revenues. in California from July 1, 1958, through March 31, 1959, were only 0.7 per cent over estimates, Later, in a speech before the California Taxpayers Association, Governor Brown. pointed out that his administration has saved some $78 million over original budget estimates made before he took office, He said that $73 million was pared from amounts requested by state agencies and $5 million already made this year in departmental economies will be, carried over into the next fiscal year. He said opponents of his budget and proposed revenue program Dinner Meeting Of Business Women Second Vice President Georgine Wasley presided at the dinner meeting of the Business and.

He pointed out that the Legis: lature, when it completes a study a of the tax structure, can take action any time it wants. But to require it to do so by some fixed date “makes no sense,” ‘he said. “I might add that this kind of legislation isn’t conducive to a strong state credit rating in the meantime, either,” he said. ** * *& Speedy enactment of Governor Bown’s cigarette and income tax proposals was expected this week following their clearance by the Senate Finance Committee.
