State tax plan urged by Gov Emmerson at Illinois meeting
Gov. Louis L. Emmerson told about 250 real estate and Civic clubs members in Decatur that Illinois must change taxation. He pushed giving the legislature power to levy where needed to shift the burden from real estate and tangibles, highlighting disparities between Cook and downstate counties and arguing wealth should bear more tax. He noted opposition from wealthy interests and defended referendum votes as Cook county objections.
