Lunches were served in a number power in limited measure, and no of schools last winter, and more will member of the legislature could be , be added to the list this fall, appointed to any office created dur ing his term. Concerning the Governors office a change is provided that within the first ten days of the legislative ses sion the governor shall submit an executive budget setting forth the expected income and the proposed ex penditures of every department of the state. This is a new provision, and its merits are well enough known and its imperative need fully appar ent. Another feature is to make the income of public officials subject to income tax like the income of the private citizen is. In the judicial department the re vised constitution would put all the courts below the superior court under the jurisdiction of the legislature, which includes justices of the peach. A general system of courts below su perior court would make the record er’s court a state wide inrlitution, and eventually abolish these courts as they are based on special legisla tion. Additional judges would be per mitted the supreme court if needed. The number of solicitors would be made equal to the number of judges in the superior court. Judges of su preme and superior court would con stitute a judicial counsel fith power to make rules of practice which would transfer from the legislature to the whole body of judges the pow er to make rules under which the courts should act. A striking feat ure of the new document is that re ferring to taxation, which it says shall be exercised in a just and equitable manner. This simple declaration takes the place of detailed and complicated pro visions in the present constitution. It would, among other things, permit the General Assembly to: Levy income taxes above the pres ent limit of 6 percent. Classify property for taxation. Shape taxing policy to encourage home ownership, reforestation, and conservation of natural resources. The greater power here granted the Legislature would be subject to the veto power and restrained by the limitations on |>orrowing money, (a) to fund or refund a valid exist ing debt; (b) in anticipation of col lection of taxes up to 50 percent thereof; (cj to supply a casual def icit; (d) to suppress insurrection or repeal invasion. To contract debts for other purposes, General Assem bly cannot exceed two-thrids of amount indebtedness has been reduc ed in preceding biennium unless ap proved by vote of people. This limitation on borrowing pow er of Legislature is new and is de signed to be not only au offset to the power of taxation in previous section but a more effective insur ance against excessive tax rates than the present limitations on taxation. Where a heavy public indebtedness is incurred, taxation is necessarily heavy. This section will be a check on further bond issues, and will au tomatically force reduction of the present state debt. The General Assembly is to pro vide a uniform system of taxation for counties, cities and towns. At pres ent part of local taxation is on uni form, state-wide basis; other taxes are authorized under local charters with widely varying provisions, each city having its own special charter written, usually by its own attorney. Local municipalities may borrow money for funding a valid existing debt or to meet appropriations in an ticipation of collection of taxes. Other wise cannot exceed one-half amount by which indebtedness reduced dur. ing the year, unless approved by vote of people. Heretofore local municipalities could borrow without limit for “nec essary expenses.” Supreme Court in terpreted that phase very liberally. Excessive bond issues requiring heavy tax load on real estate largely caus ed the recent crisis in state finances, requiring state to take over roads and schools, and resort to Sales Tax. The limitation in this section is a companion measure to limitation on State borrowing in Sec. 2. Together they form the twin pillars of the fu ture financial policy of the common wealth. Further detail of the new document will be printed next week.

You may have certain property improvements already in mind—the Rmall investments that pay large dividends in better living. Perhaps it’s light switches, paint, plumbing, plaster, or a complete remodeling job. 2. Decide what improvements you can afford to make now—or at least the improvements you cannot afford to neglect any longer. 3. Call on us, and—if it’s an important job—an architect also. We vdll gladly estimate the cost. 4. Then comes the question: “How shall I pay for these improvements ? If you 'have the cash—cash is the ideal way to pay. But if you should find it more convenient to pay out of your regular income—the investment is a .sound one, and now is the prudent time to go ahead. The Bet ter Housing Program has oiled the machinery of credit so that you may pay easily and conveniently for prop erty improvements made at once. We are in a position to cooperate. Or you may arrange directly for a low-cost, long- payment loan with your own local bank, which is co operating with the Government. The way has been smoothed—the future of your property is up to you.
