Wrong Tax Justice and the Case Against a State Property Tax
The state advisory committee on taxation and revenues argues against a general state property tax. It cites inequities in assessment ratios across counties, urban rural disparities, and the unfair burden on counties with lower true-value assessments, warning such a levy would strain local revenues and distort equity. It urges equalization of assessments and warns a higher tax is the wrong approach.

Auto industry overproduction hurts 1955 profits
General Motors cuts Chevrolet production by eight percent while Chrysler lays off 1,400 in its body division. Ford trims Mercury output and reduces total staff, with 50,000 back to 40 hours and 2,450 dismissed. Time predicts car sales will be 10 to 12 percent below last year. The boom in profits came from overproduction in 1954, now exposing strain on workers and dealers without signaling a national recession.
