know that hi their generosity today they have broken the bank Sen Russell B Long chairman of the Finance Committee said Friday night Because of tax added on the floor the 18.1 billion tax written by the Finance Committee has grown much larger and already exceeds budget limitations by million Long said going to have to be squeezed the Louisiana Democrat added By the time the Senate wrapped up the day's work just before midnight the billion approved by the committee had grown to 129.7 billion The totaled billion Senate leaders hopes of getting the passed late tonight almost vanished Friday after the measure ran into a flurry of amendments Tbe moat immediate roadblock is an amendment by Sens Edmund S Muskie and John Glenn D- Ohto that would add to the tax a sunset prevision which would allow moat federal tax to die unless they can be justified after a periodic review Those programs could include 10 or so tax breaks for various groups ranging from the tax exemption for Social Security benefits to preferential ment of capital gains to the deducibility of interest paid on a home mortgage Muskie and Glenn want to bring those tax expenditures under the sunset law because they now cost the ment about billion a year Long and other members of the Finance Committee oppose such a review because it would dilute the power of their panel to control the tax code Some of the items added by the Senate extra 94.5 billion in rate cuts mostly for individuals with incomes under This would mean for ex- ample that the Finance Committee's proposed tax cut for a four member family earning would be ed by college tuition tax credit of up to per student this year next year and in The credit would be for 35 percent of tuition costs up to those extra billion in business tax cuts which would drop the maximum corporate tax rate to 45 percent by down from the current 48 percent Primary campaign spending compared Staff Writer Commentary Money by itself didn't win anybody a spot on the November General Election ballot but an analysis of the latest spending and contribution reports filed with the Board of Education Super- visors shows that it didn't hurt either The reports show that the candidates who raised aad spent the most did not necessarily ran the strongest and several candidates who spent large sums did not wta nomination By the same token however most of the candidates la the county commissioner contest for example spent anywhere from to in their election bids Only two winning commissioner Arnold and Richard Grosanickle spent relatively small amounts and respectively Galen Clagett out paced all other Democratic candidates by far but ed only fourth la spending among the at Lawrence A Doraey spent less than any winning candidate and ran second only to Clagett Tbe correlation between winning and spending appears stronger on the Republican side Adrian Mac Remsberg who spent the most at ran third Paul L Crum ran first and ranked second in spending Mrs Mary Williams ran second and ranked third in spending and ran fourth and fifth and spent comparatively small amounts Sixth place Democratic finisher Dr Jack B spent more than two of the winners but lost Most of the losing candidates spent less than the typical winning candidate however leading to the conclusion that money alone won't guarantee an election victory it's more likely to help than hurt a candidate's chances With only about a month left until the Nov 7 General Election the 1971 is still a relatively cool one The heated races for Congress and sheriff that stole the attention in
