In Bloomington and Williamson County Illinois and Indiana farmers voted decisively against the proposed wheat control program. William J. Kuh of the Illinois Agricultural Association hailed the turnout as farmers understanding the basics of the measure, signaling possible shifts in federal farm policy toward reduced government involvement. In Jackson County the plan failed three to one, Williamson County about four to one, with 168 yes and 318 no. nearly 100 votes challenged. Grain prices fell sharply on the Board of Trade amid the rejection, with wheat contracts dropping more than 3 cents and March delivery down over 9 cents before some recovery.

Governor Seeks Constitutional Tax Reform to Allow Property Classification
Gov Otto Kerner told a joint session of the Illinois General Assembly that the state should grant the legislature power to classify all property for tax purposes. The plan would permit varying tax rates by property income potential, potentially ending uniform rates within classes. Proposals include tax on intangible personal property and potential elimination of personal property tax on household goods. De Grazia testified in favor, linking reform to economic development and use of federal programs to aid distressed towns.
