The assessor would be governor appointed and Senate confirmed, serving until replacement. The panel also calls for sales tax changes, broadening the tax base, and closing loopholes to raise new revenue. The plan proposes doubling the income tax to alleviate property tax burdens.

They estimated liquor by the drink could yield about 1 million yearly with a 1000 license fee and 10 percent sales tax, with local governments gaining about 3 million from licenses. Trading stamps were recommended taxed at 7 percent as an irritation to many merchants.
