PG^ Jfi^PLAINDEALER - WED.. APR.. 17. 1968 A Healthy Tax Climate A tax climate that encourages efficiency, innovation and a sustained and economical drive toward important goals is a leading contributor to the state's economic growth and social progress. The home owner and business and industry must have the freedom to achieve earnings or there will be no better tomorrow. Taxes are an expense of doing business, the same as the expense of a new roof on a home or on a factory. If they get out of line, the home will not be kept up as it should be and the industry that would have expanded within the state's borders will look elsewhere for a site. In Illinois utilities probably pay more total taxes than any other sector of the economy, Commonwealth Edison company of Chicago being probably the state's largest taxpayer,, Illinois Bell Telephone company is among the leaders, paying $200,- 221,000 in taxes in 1967 in addition to $68,607,000 collected from the customers as federal excise taxes and turned over to the government. Caterpillar Tractor company paid $8,251,000 in state and local taxes alone in 1967, an increase of about 31 percent over the year before. Railroads aifd other businesses and industry also paid large bills in 1967./Most of such taxes are re-couped from the consumer as a 'part of the product that business sells. A healthy tax climate in these days ot competition means better education, jobs for people and comVmiity and cultural growth. Hie new economics relative to taxes s^ems to pay little attention to equality between revenues and expenditures in any given fiscal year. It seems to increase the z&te of taking revenues from the taxpayers when the economy is^surging and to decrease the rate when the economy is going into a recession. The tax policy of days gone by appears to make more sense. This policy followed the principle that it was best to raise the money to meet government's expenses in the fairest, least expensive way and with a minimum of governmental interference. In the light of today's complex society, competition and community needs, this appears the best policy to follow to keep one of the chief costs of doing business, taxes, in line with other expenses. In other works, efficiency and economy are still a vital partnership to any taxpayer, whether he be a homeowner or a large business concern. Week To Week Problem Barbers buy farms. Electricians buy airplanes. Retired widows buy motor bikes. Doctors buy sailboats. Farmers buy fur coats. Students buy apartment buildings. In modern society it is a monstrous fallacy to attempt to anticipate the wants and potential buying power of anyone. This is especially applicable to the retailer with expensive luxury goods for sale. In an affluent society of unpredictable tastes one of the most important tasks of advertising is to locate the unlikely consumer. Fot* instance, if a real estate broker wishes to sell an aging mansion, he realizes that probably several potential buyers exist, but he has no idea who they are. He can find them only by reaching the entire community and outsiders who may be looking for such a property. Local newspaper advertising provides the real estate man and others with specialized products to sell with an instant means of finding unknown and unlikely buyers. As a result, a newspaper advertisement which, was placed for a few dollars may save thousands of dollars for buyer and seller alike. However, not just specialized sellers benefit from the customer finding power of the local newspaper. Every retailer is continuously in the business of locating new customers. For in every community there is a constant turnover of population and a constant change of items sold by every type of retailer. The problem of locating buyers is an everlasting week to week problem which the hometown newspaper repeatedly solves. Progress Reported By School Advisory Group The regular monthly meeting of the Steering committee and sub-committees of the public school Citizen's Advisory council was held in the high school cafeteria at 8 p.m. last Thursday with approximately thirty-five persons in attendance. During a joint session after the committee meetings, the following reports were given: The personnel committee is developing a survey form which will be distributed to school districts similar to the Mc- Henry schools insofar as size assessed valuation and enrollment is concerned. The curriculum committee has chosen the Vocational Arts program in the Junior high school and the Senior high school as the first areas of study to be undertaken. A meeting is planned for the latter part of April, at which time it is hoped members of the Industrial Arts staff will be present to give briefings on the courses presently being taught in the school. The subject of social problems, which woald include a program of sex education, will be discussed further at the May meeting. All interestedpersons are invited to attend and express their opinions. 12-4 PLAN The year round school committee met on March 21 and Dr. Carl Bergstrom explained the principal features of the 12-4 plan. Mrs. Margaret Marchi will act as committee secretary. On March 28 the committee held another meeting and Mrs . Mary Liebman explained how teachers' salaries could and should be increased for a full year's teaching. She answered questions pertaining to ability grouping, basic skills and the EMH classes. The advantages of the plan were discussed at length and the disadvantages will be discus- ®®me to new been wonderini By now most mothers in McHenry should be sufficiently worn out due to the current Easter vacation. Now that we are halfway into this "wonderful" week, we're sure most patience is nearing an end. We can't help but think this has to be a training area for mothers for the long summer vacations which will be upon us before we allfully realize it. That is when the real battle starts. And without a warm-up, the shock of the longer summer warfare would be much too much for most to endure. We have noticed that there is a great deal more activity in the streets of McHenry this week. . .and we mean mostly men. It must be that they are trying to stay away from the house until the small battle is over. It seems that fathers just don't have that little bit of extra understanding when little children are underfoot. On the other side of the battle zone, we can all be assured thatthe teachers who have been so ably taking care of our children these many months are now receiving a delightful vacation from the rigors of 30 to 40 of ours in their teaching classrooms. We can not help but think, that it has to take a very dedicated person to withstand the daily bombardment of the students. So next Monday morning at 8 o'clock, mom can fall down into her easy chair with a cup of coffee and say "It sure is nice to have those kids back to school". But we will all admit we love them more than anything in the world. . .and probably admit those few days were not so bad. But if you've been wondering what this summer will be like - now you know.

Hie next meeting of this committee is scheduled for Thursday, April 25 at 8 p.m. in the Junior high school library and additional committee members would be most welcome. It is the feeling that more people are needed to study this area of year 'round schools in order to round out the ideas and opinions involved in such a weighty problem - one that affects the lives of all the people in the community. The Finance and School building committees held a joint meeting. Bonding power of the districts, heaviest areas of population, sites, manner of housing. the overflow of students next September, and presenting financial information to the community, were some of the problems considered. The Publicity committee was requested to consider news letters mailed on a bulk mailing list basis. These could contain pictures of the classrooms, and showing the crowded conditions especially in the area of demonstrating the need for additional space and the costs of financing additions to buildings and new buildings. All members were asked to consider alternatives xor providing classroom space as a re-, suit of the defeat of the bond issue. A lengthy discussion was held on various methods in which this could be accomplished. It was recommended the Steering committee request the board of education of District 15 and the administrators to investigate the feasibility and cost of split shifts mobile classrooms and increasing class size with the possibility of team teaching next year involved. The next general meeting will be held Thursday, May 2 in the high school auditorium.

The Drivers Seat Got the glint of a dream car in your eye? Car manufacturers have that glint -- and it may very possibly result in a dream car for your motoring future, incorporating many of the "pet ideas and why don't theys" that you and I and other drivers have often wondered about. But the dream car will still be practical -- at least, no fins that sprout into wings are in the foreseeable future. One dream-car dreamer, H. Keith Teter, said plans for cars to solve ,post shopper's problems for example, are now on the drawing boards. But the time between the design and realization of such a car may be twenty-five years away. ' Keeping the shopper in mind, tteter said his firm introduced the double-action tailgate on station wagons. This was'the result of an idea that occurred several years ago. The tailgate swings down in the conventional manner or opens to the side like a door. "Three years from now is the present for us." Teter said. Other possibilities in the future include: A tricycle car. The concept of a car with three wheels has a lot of validity, Teter said. He did not indicate whether it would be a gas - or electric - powered car. Convenience for shopping and maneuverability were pointed out as the main design considerations. vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Pitzen.
