The Liv- onian is presenting an analysis taken from the series of articles run in the Detroit News and written by Carl Rudow of the Lansing Bureau.

The State now has a three - cent sales tax. Proposal No. 2 seeks to divert 33 percent of the revenue to loc�jl +governments, but also to guarantee that public schols :get their present 42. to 4-5 percent of such revenue. At cur- rent collection rates, $40,000,00 to $60;000;000, !a year is involved. The proposal originates in a local -State dispute of years over how the taxpayers' dollar shall be divided.

Colonel MacClure was in charge of the Selfridge Field unit and here the training was carried out in con- junction -with the pilot training. The Air Corps pigeon unit was larger than that of the Army. Homer pigeonswere used in anti- submarine work on every air front. The Colonel stated that, "17,000 were dropped into Italy by parachute and France for the underground.

The Colonel when on to relate some of the outstanding feats and records made by :the feathered corps during the war. "Pathfind- er"•.holds the record for distance that of 1762 miles. Another out- standing mark was made by a Selfridge Field bird that of fly- ing from the ,Mid -Atlantic :to Self- ridge Field a -distance of 1753 miles_ Actually the bird flew fur- ther, but .because the bird took one week and four hours to make the trip, it was penalized. The average speed of a racing pigeon is from 38 to 42 miles ,per 'hour .although .Col. MacClure stated that they have been clock- ed as high as 71 miles per hour. He also told of the development of night flying homers and birds that were trained in two and three way flying. These are still military secrets. Germany and Japan as well as the Russians had highly develop- ed pigeons units. In 193.2, 3,Ch pigeons and the necessary men -were given to Japan to organize a unit for them. Mr. CacClure was the man final- ly called in by the City of Detroit to rid the city hall -and like :places of • these birds and over 90,0 :birds were trapped.

Brake Tells Rotarians Views On Proposal No. 2 Before members of the Rotary club last Friday, former Super- intendent George A. Smith of the Plymouth public schools, and Charles Brake, assistant school commissioner of Wayne county, discussed the pros and cons of the proposed constitutional amendment No. 2. In the last isue, The Livonian published Mr. Smith's arguments made before the Plymouth For- um two or three days before the Rotary club meeting. Before the Rotarians he used the same argu- ments as used at -the Forum, of which the Mail carried a report. In view of this fact, the paper is at this time presenting only Mr. Brake's argument before the Rotarians, as follows: In a democracy, when the vot- ers are asked to pass upon any proposal, it is inevitable that there shall be differences of opin- ion.

For years, the school people have been going to the legislature and presenting facts that would, jus- tify increases in state aid. Some aid has been forthcoming. But we have not received aid for schools in proportion to the increase in sales tax collections. For instance; from 1940 to 1945, the sales tax collection increased by nearly 100 percent. The state aid to schools increased by 66 per cent. leo, Mr. Smith, the schools have been go- ing to the legislature for years. REST, NOW USE THE They have not made the appro- BEST ...

We agree that whereas the state is now sending back $41,500,00 of our money, it should send back at least $75,000,000. I know of no schoolman in Michi- gan who would dispute this fig- ure. 2.

Local officials, pfarticularly mayors of some cities, insist the Legislature has refused to be fair with local units, has hoarded its swollen revenues .and has re- fused basic taxation reform. State officials declare that aid to local government has risen 308 per cent while sale tax collec- tions rose only 268 :per cent, that nearly two-thirds of all State evenue now is spent for the bene- fit of local governments and that it is the advocates of Proposal No. 2 who are unfair. THE PRINCIPAL ARGUMENTS The chief argument for the proposal is that it forces the State to contribute more heavily to the local governments. OTHER GRANTS MAY END The legislature, many members sales tax diversion, also could en- ter the contest. The State school aid law could be changed to erase the four -mill mandatory local tax, or to reduce the minimum.

One-sixth y the slocal governmental unit would be taken from the pockets cf the . State, which insists it needs all the money it can find for its own expanding costs. Once the proposal is in the Constitution, it is there until the Constitution is charged. Sales taxes have boomed for months, reaching heights never expected. They are expected to remain high until the postwar demand for consumer goods comes to an end. When boom business ends, sales taxes are expected to fall, since the tax is nc:toriously sensitive to economic trends. This leads automatically to a question in which taxpayers should be inferesled "what hap- pens under the proposal when the sales fax drops?" Well, suppose the drop is next year and sales taxes are only $120,000,0010. If that happens, neow State aid to cities, villages and townships will be affected immediately. In- stead of $24,333,333, these units will get $2C,00%000—one-sixth of total collections. The cities will .divide $13,090,G00, the villages $1,246;000 and the townships $5,664,G00. THE GUARANTEE HOLDS But State aid to the public schols will be different. The schols will get only $20,000,00,0 as their one-sixth of total col- lections but that 45.3 per cent guarantee will still apply against this year's $140;000;000 in sales tax evenue. As the State's remainder of sales faxe collections drop, as townships get less than they did a year before, the public schools will continue to get GEER BROTHERS SUNOCO SERVICE Greasing & Tire Repairs Wayne at Ann Arbor Tr.

Ten years with Probate Court Juvenile Division Active Voters' Association money. But some financial ex- perts have _begun to wonder how the townships can legally spend al lthe money they would gest under its provisions. SOME WILL BE TAX FREE Whether the State's 1,265 townships need the estimated $6.608,000 a year they would get from the proposal, assuming a $140,600,000 sales tax, is hardly An dispute. Since the townships levied only $3,107,724 in local taxes last year, few students of the proposed diversion see any possibility that they would sud- denly need to get twice that much money from the State. As cities are different, so are Michigan's 5,690 school districts. Some of them need more money badly. In the cities, where population has hifted, new schools may be needed in the outskirts although schools m the heart of town are comparatively unused. In suburbs around cities an in- flux or students has taxed avail- able .facilities. In rural schools a lack of finance may make it im- possible to hire a competent teacher, or any teacher at all. CIGARET TAX DISCUSSED Concluding that the proposal is "an indirect means to raise taxes for local :pur;poses," the bureau declares that it violates a bedrock principle of sound gov- ernment—that `res:ponisbility for raising money should accompany the spending of it." In other words, local units will spend money the State raises. "The question might well be asked whether it isn't a case of both sides fighting over the spoils, with the taxpayer (as usual) gett- ing ;plucked," the bureau adds. State officials and outsiders fa- milar with State finance are prac- tically unanimous that the State will need new taxes, if proposal No. 2 is adopted and the State is to continue all its present ser- vices. A higher sales tax, a revived real estate property fax, a cig- aret fax, higher liquor taxes and a payroll tax are most dis- cussed as possible new State sources of revenue. There is a possibility that the State may offset any revenue losses through Proposal No. 2 by taking away certain money it now gives local units, or by forc- ing local units to haidle certain services the State now handles. Local.sales, excise and gasoline taxes are most discussed at the moment as a way, then, to give additional money to those local governments which want more money enough to raise it them- selves. State Treasurer D. Hale Brake, however, insists that if the sales tax diversion had ,been in effect last year, the :State would have L I V 0 N I A N Page 11 run a ,$21,574,320 deficit. If the could recoup a part of its loss veterans' bonus bonds had been by taking away grants it now outstanding too, he contends, the makes to local units or shifting State deficit would have jumped some of its present services to to $39,1+14,320% local units.

ELECTION— TUESDAY, NOV. 5th I4P folte df Coliffidence Vandenbergfor Senator y We believe that the re-election of Senator Vandenberg pre- sents a challenge to the people of Michigan. The Senator has taken the voice of our State into the highest councils of domestic affairs and into the peace deliberations of the world. He has given our State a prominence and an influence in world events that is unequalled in our history. His re-election becomes a matter of State pride. We are proud of Arthur H. Vandenberg. We are proud that he comes from Michigan. He should be re-elected to the U. S. Senate with an extra big vote of confidence. And remember this — no matter how heavy his responsibil- ities around the world, he has never failed you and our home State when Michigan interests have been at stake in Washington. Let's get out and vote on Nov. 5. Let's "tell the world" that we support our Senior Senator from Michigan. This message is published in behalf of 100,000 citizens from all 83 Counties of Michigan who placed Senator Vandenberg in nomination in June.
