The Chamber is urging that lawmakers "plug loopholes" in the existing law before they give consideration to any increase in benefit payments. (The legislature already has before it a proposal to increase the current $27 maximum unemployment benefit to $40 per week. Two other' bills would increase the benefit to $30 and $35.) "It is a matter of common knowledge that, at the present •time, many workers who cause their own unemployment are allowed to draw benefits," according to Richard D. Sturtevant, chairman of the state Chamber's 84-man Social Security committee, who announced the Chamber's stand. He also is secretary of Jewel Tea Co., Barrington. Sturtevant ottered substantiated figures which showed that a full 58 per cent of idle workers who drew benefits listed no dependents. "It appears evident that, for the man with a minimum of responsibility, benefit payments are far more attractive than work," Sturtevant declared.

The threatened increase to ' 3 per cent of the Illinois state sales tax presents a grave threat to the residents of -the 8th district (Lake, McHenry and Boone counties). The proximity, of -this part of the state to the Wisconsin border means that if ' tihe legislature enacts such' a'! tax increase a great volume of local business may be lost to merchants in Wisconsin (where there is no sales* tax). . . The Wisconsin graduated income tax Is itself insidious, --• that .tax probably results in a higher price ' in Wisconsin .for most goods than" the same goods when purchased in Illinois. Still, on items sold at nationally advertised or fair trade prices, and especially On appliances, automobiles, etc., the item of tax is substantial. A sales tax increased to 3 per cent may drive more Illinois business north of the border. The need is recognized for increased appropriations to maintain the present level of assistance to our public schools. And the demands for more funds for our state universities and colleges, as well as our mental institutions, are also justified. An increase in the sales tax would provide an easy solution. But, insofar as Lake, McHenry and Boone counties are concerned, this would be a very unpopular answer to the problem. In our search for more revenues, we should not adopt a plan which will drive business out of the state. It is not as though the 8th Senatorial district were not already assuming its share of the tax burden. The records show that Lake county pays tihe highest per capita state tax of any of the 102 counties of Illinois. McHenry and Boone county residents pay far above the average.

In the first place, the legislature should enact a uniform use tax. This would impose a tax on goods purchased at retail in Wisconsin at the same rate as the Illinois sales tax. The tax on automobiles, refrigerators and all other items would then be shared equally by Illinois purchasers (users) whether the goods were purchased in Illinois or elsewhere. » , . In addition, those retail occupations which are now excluded frt*m the Illinois Retailer Occupation (Sales) Tax should be included by specific direction of the legislature. Today, if Mr. •Jones makes a contract with a plumber to have a bathtub installed -- and .the plumber furnishes the tub, neither Mr. Jones nor the plumber pays any sales tax. But if Mr. Jones buys the bathtub himself at the local hardware appliance store he pays a sales tax of 2 per cent on the retail price of the tub. This and countless other §uch inequities should be corrected'. The enactment of a use tax and legislation eliminating the extttiag loopholes and inequities in the present 8 per cent sales tax would provide additional tax revenues which oould be applied to the principal needs of our schools, colleges and mental hospitals. Such a program might not be as simple as an increase to 3 per cent of the sales tax, and it would cause displeasure to various retailers in Wisconsin and the Illinois retailers who are now exempted from the sales tax. Indeed, such measures would not provide as much revenue as the 3 per cent levy. But in Springfield the interests of our Illinois residents must come first. And the public welfare must be tempered by the welfare of the taxpayer. wit for HQU OUR DINING ROOM Will Re-Open ART & LEE'S 204 N.
