Ceiling on Tax Collections Urged by State Official
Murry B. McLeod, Commissioner of Revenues, told Kiwanis today that a ceiling should be placed on tax collections and that at no time should more taxes be taken than necessary. He noted tax receipts rose from about 30 million in 1940 to 42 million in 1943, producing a 24 million surplus over 1940 levels, with a 3 million old-age pension fund surplus. He warned against ongoing indifference to state debt and said income taxes will require future earnings records.

His .337 average compares with historic lows and the sport’s famed .400 peak, making the goal challenging yet notable in AL history.
