A Caribou reader quotes a Washington column alleging Congress members now earn $30,000 yearly plus extensive perks. He lists health, travel, postage, office space, insurance, clerks, kinfolk perks, Capitol dining costs, and rising meal prices under Johnson, urging scrutiny of such benefits.
The Idaho Legislature opened its thirty-eighth session as Governor Smylie pitched a state sales and use tax to fund the general fund and urged a special session for reapportionment. He outlined education expansion, university strengthening, a statewide junior college system, constitutional revision, a park service, public health gains, merit state employees, and court reforms, with a plan to move on reapportionment despite court concerns. The proposal faces party splits and regional opposition, but supporters argue tax receipts are needed for broadened government services.
Discussion outlines a proposed income, property, and excise tax plan likely to raise about 100 million for the general fund, with state departments requesting over 150 million. A sales tax could yield about 60 million, with possible relief in other taxes if needed. The piece notes expected high controversy and a long session as departments compete for funds. It also begins a humorous turn about differing views on marriage.
Birth entries include Dennis H Bancroft and Deanne Bancroft with a 7 lb 8 oz boy and Jan James M Chaney and Lou Chaney with a 1 lb 14 oz girl who died shortly after birth. The list details admitted and discharged patients, convalescents, and long term confines across multiple cities.
