That is now plainly evident to observers here who have followed the finance and appropriation committees through the present ses sion and who have kept a watchful eye on legislative sentiment. That the retail sales tax will ibe re enacted is an almost foregone con clusion, and has long been predicted by careful observers. There are several reasons why the sales tax will be rewritten into the revenue act: (1) It is clearly apparent that the legislature and the joint appropria tions committees dominated largely by a group of “free-spenders.” The ap propriation bill as it now stands is at least $3,000,000 over the advisory (Continued on Page Three!

The federation chief, however, asserted he thought cliances were “good” for the bill’s passage. The Senate Labor Committee begins hearings on it Monday.
