Scott, executive secretary, Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois, has released statements made to the platform committees of the Democratic and Republican parties of Illinois: The platforjn committee of both parties, in recent meetings, again invited suggestions from associations and individuals. "I congratulate both parties in giving any and all citizens the opportunity to make such suggestions. This is an example of democracy at its best," Scott said. The suggestions offered were: .1 A pledge in the platform whereby the party would do all in its power to see that the taxpayers receive their money's worth from government. 2. A plank which would protect the taxpayers and strengthen home rule by endorsing the principle that there be no new or increased taxing powers granted to local government without referendum. 3. A pledge that the party will explore the means of obtaining more revenue from the State's present tax system for increasing costs of government, before adding new or increased taxes. In this regard, it would be advisable to explore the feasibility of putting into practice wider and more intensive auditing of Retailer's Occupation Tax returns and the tightening up of exemptions from present state taxes. 4. A plank in the platform which pledges to maintain a tax climate which is conducive to efficient and profitable operation of business and industry, while providing adequate income which is necessary for the highest quality of governmental structure necessary and needed. Such a plank, if carried out, insures a high personal income for our people in Illinois, which in turn guarantees sources of supply for raw materials and water'the best rail and highway facilities, markets for our7 agricultural products, and a, tiappy and prosperous commu n i t y and home life. •' 5. A pledge to protect the taxpayers by opposing any mandatory proposal that would require or result in new'or increased expenditures by local governments without their consent. 6. Oppose the imposition Of any state income tax without referendum approval of the electors. Scott concluded, "If parly platform drafters remember the taxpayers, the fellow who foots the bills, when they ate drafting a. platform, as well as the groups who are asking for more to spend, the result will be a platform that has voter approval, and most important, that party will * be guaranteeing the preservations of ttye financial strength of government."
