Salary Cut Al Snagged In Committee
The senate omnibus salary reduction bill faced stiff objections in the House Judiciary Committee as it moved to a sub committee for revision. Opponents argued against unequal salary scales and urged department heads be allowed to set their own pay within reduced appropriations. Speakers including Callet and Lee urged leeway in employment and salary tests, while amendments sought broader increases for select officials. The bill’s fate rests on later appropriation measures and conference talks with department heads.

Redrafting of the selective sales tax nears completion
Governor Park took direct charge of revising the selective sales tax bill with Rep. Herman QO Maxey, aiming to specify taxed articles rather than exemptions. Maxey suggested a 2 percent rate, while Park favored leaving it at 1 percent, with beer exempt from new taxes due to existing levies. The measure would require retailers to keep records or use purchase tags, listing taxed items such as tobacco, jewelry, cosmetics, soft drinks, and more, with many thresholds for retail value.
