Forum urges tax reform and broader revenue base
A Chicago forum urges voters on November 4 to back a constitutional amendment to unify legislative power and replace an obsolete personal property law with a fair revenue system. The piece recalls historic calls for tax reform by prominent citizens and warns against fear of the legislature as real estate owners organize to support the measure. Also notes Northwestern pledging and local moves, including Miss Patricia Oliver joining Alpha Phi and residences of Frank and Mrs. Barrett.
