The county governments, paid on the basis of the population of their unin­ corporated territory, received $23,364. Villages and cities, paid on the basis of the population within their borders, received $30,951. Payments this month, Berning said, bring the total paid this fiscal year under the state's revenue sharing program to villages, cities and counties in his district to $1,082,505. The corresponding figures for the entire state are $1,967,217, for the month of January; and $39,206,411 for the fiscal year to date. "At a time when local governments nation-wide are being forced into programs of retrenchment because of a growing financial crisis," Berning remarked, "I think it is particularly important to note that Illinois was the first state in the Union to institute a program of no-strings-attached sharing of income tax revenue with its local governments." vJ'One municipal crisis after another in other states have been continually crowding the front page in recent months," Berning observed. "Mayors in such states as New York, New Jersey, Michigan, and California have announced that their communities will be forced to lay off city employees and curtail services as a result of shrinking revenues and rising costs of the services and commodities government must purchase," Berning said. "Illinois local government is under the same kind of pressure," he added. "As a result," Berning concluded, "in many communities in this state today property taxpayers would be forced to choose between paying still higher rates or losing services, but for this income tax sharing program."

DON PEASLEY PHOTO From The Farm ISSUES ON FARM BARGAINING Some crucial issues must be resolved in current discussions about more bargaining power for farmers, suggests Harold Guither, University of Illinois Extension specialist in public policy. The issues, as Guither sees them are: --When and how producers will give up title to their pro­ ducts. --Whether producers will let a bargaining representative de­ cide on price to be accepted. --How far prices can be rais­ ed without losing part of the market. --How far producers can go without being subject to anti­ trust regulations. --How far producers will be willing to cut production to raise prices. How producers will make up income lost through cuts in pro­ duction. --How long handlers and pro­ cessors will negotiate before seeking other sources of supply. --How far Congress will go in giving producers the right to force prices higher at the ex­ pense of the consumer.
