Heil Proposes Three Tax Plans in Legislative Caucus
Madison legislators weighing three Heil tax options to balance the state budget. Proposals include reenacting emergency taxes with a 3 percent general sales tax, a 1 percent occupational sales tax, or a limited luxury tax on nonessentials. Heil urged lawmakers to report sentiment at next Tuesday night caucus. The prevailing view is opposition to a general sales tax, seen as unpopular despite its potential to ease property taxes. The 3 percent sales tax would raise substantial revenue over two years, with local governments receiving a large share alongside reenacted surtaxes.

Adjournment Blocked By Neutrality Debate Amid Talks
Democratic and Republican leaders agreed neutrality legislation blocks adjournment by July 15. Four items drive a mid July program: corporate tax revision, next year's relief appropriations, social security act amendments, and railroad aid bills. President Roosevelt reportedly favors a session revision of neutrality law but prefers adjournment to a prolonged fight. Senate and House committees show doubt on any changes, as opposition argues against any neutrality bill.
