ANOTHER LUCKY THING -- six-shooters went out of style before traffic jams started. If there isn't a woman beside a successful man when he starts, there will be by the time he arrives. The Senator Says State Senator MeClory ° - The opening session of the 72nd Illinois General Assembly has been highlighted by a struggle for the office of Speaker of th^ ftouse of Representatives. The significance off this contest can be grasped <Jnly if the extreme power of the office of speaker is understood. Historicallyo the speaker Under the British system was 4 person designated to speak for the members of parliament, oday, the Speaker vof the ouse rarely "speaks" except ifi his capacity as presiding officer of the House of Representatives. But, in contrast to the very limited authority of the early parliamentary speaker, the speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives is the virtual dictator of that body. The newly named speaker Will select the chairmen and entire membership of all House committees. The speaker will personally decide to which committees hills are to be assigned. He will decide, without restriction, when bills are to be called. Indeed, if he should determine that a bill shall not be called, for any reason, there is little chance of overcoming his individual decision. The speaker decides who is to be recognized for purposes of addressing the assemblage, and a willful speaker could defeat the plans of a well meaning representative by simply refusing to let him be heard. In sharp contrast to the almost unlimited authority of the speaker of the House, the lieutenant governor (who presides over the State Senate) is primarily a presiding officer who cooperates with the majority and minority leaders of the senate. These leaders of the Senate (Senator Arthur J. Bidwell for the Republicans and Senator Donald J. O'Brien for the Democrats) decide what bills are to be called, and who is to be recognized. A special committee on assignment of bills determines to which committees bills are to be assigned. A committee on committees names the chairmen and members of the respective Senate committees. While the speaker of the House may vote on every bill, the lieutenant governor votes only in the event of a tie. Hence the immense power of the speaker \of the House explains the reason for the keen interest in that office.

For let's face it Even though Christmas and New Year's are fun, they can wear you out. So you can understand why I did a doubletake the other day when a fellow came in, gift cash in his pocket, and said he was really sorry to see Christmas go. He'd looked at a family Christmas tree plenty of times, naturally. Seen his own tree, with his kids clustered around, five or six years in a row. But this season, some of the Christmas camera ads made him see something n£w -- picture possibilities -- for the first time: Pictures like the rainbow of lights reflecting on tinsel. Excited, expectant faces. He wanted it on movie film. Trouble was, by Christmas morning it was too late -- he didn't have a camera. "Next year," he told me. "For sure." Who could resist an opening like that? "Why not start now?" I asked. Then I showed him how easy and inexpensive it was with a Brownie 8 Movie Camera. I let him take a good look through the optical - type finder. Let him see how easy the exposure dial works. The special wide shutter-release bar making for steadier grip. The folding crank that gives a fast wind. The motor that cuts off smoothly at the end of the power run. "Price?" he said. "$24.50, I said. "Good enough," he said. So out with the gift cash -- and off into a new hobby. Turned out he'd dropped in just to buy a camera anyway -- didn't want to put it off and wind up in the same spot next January 1. Now he's set for a whole year of moviemaking fun in between. How about movies of your family? No time, as the saying goes, like the present. Be glad to show you the Brownie 8 Movie Camera any time. Warren Wood, Rep. Paul Powell and other former speakers have exercised their vast authority with discretion and testraint. Still, the power is present, and its effect on legislation cannot be overestimated. This article, the first of the series for this current session of the Illinois General Assembly, will be supplemented during each of the weekly sessions until the adjournment on June 30. The effort will be to give perspective and background to our State's legislative work and to discuss, in depth, the broad issues confronting dur state's lawmakers. TAX FACTS Few men complain ab<Jut Christmas Presents .they ffind under the mistletoe. t EDDIE the EDUCATOR says MTWt HwwVa to Itw Outdoor Advsr#*- tag Association of IHfnofs for Ms pafaHc Mnrico poHcy in wpporttng sdwcoMow and i«i»o n- c-•i« ana• • vo ccn» Property taxes for all purposes in Illinois more than doubled in the ten-year period from 1950 to 1960, according to figures released by the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois. The increase from $566,542,132 in 1950 to $1,206,735,350 in 1960 represents a growth of 113 per cent. Total equalized assessed valuations of all taxable property in the state increased 48 per cent from $23 billion to $34 billion during that period. In order to produce $Fi66 million in 1950 taxes, an average rate of $2.49 per $100 was' required. For 1960 taxes of $1.2 billion an average rate of $3.58 per $100 Was required. Taxes for school purposes, comprising 49 per cent of all 19501 taxes and 57 per cent of all 1960 taxes increased -148 per cent in the ten years studied. Comparable enrollment figures show an increase of 10 per cent in the number of children enrolled in the public ; ^^ schools. This enrollment increase factor, together with expansion of curriculums given impetus by one influence or another -- such as sputnik -- and safety measures inspired by the disaster in the Chicago school, Our Lady of Angels, contributed greatly to increased costs of maintaining public schools. School districts were also given additional taxing powers for educational, building and transportation purposes during this period. Other local governmental tax increases prevailed in the f o l l o w i n g o r d e r : T o w n s h i p roads and road districts. 103 per cent; cities and villages, 91 per cent; special districts (such as sanitary, park, etc.), 84 per cent; townships (except roads), 72 per cent; counties, 47 per cent. A * general population increase of 15 per cent from 1950 to 1960 affected all local gov-' ernment costs for increased services. Another factor contributing to all increases was that of increased costs of living, approximately. 25 per cent from 1949 to 1959. Townships and road districts were given additional taxing powers by action of various General Assemblies, which accounted for some of their increased costs. Cities and villages, likewise, were given additional taxing powers such as a 10 per cent increase in the tax rate for corporate purposes. Not all of them took advantage of this privilege. Efforts are constantly being made to create new taxing dis«- tricts and add to the taxing powers of those already in existance. Innocuous as a small increase in taxing power may seem, the Taxpayers' Federation points out that such increases are sometimes only a "foot-in-the-door" and lead to greater demands. The Federation further states that a thorough, study should be made of each demand for increased services as well as of each demand for increased taxing power. Increases that are actually needed are good business. Those that are not are definite extravagance. Evidences of human habife- j tion in what is now Athefe, Greece, reach back 3,500 years.
