Knowles Proposals For Taxes Explained By Aide The group took no formal action and endorsed no definite position, preferring, as Johnejack said, to wait until the outcome of the April 1 referendum. In the meantime, Ed Scott, chairman of the Pell Lake Taxpayers Organization, which came out in favor of the referendum, was appointed to head an ad hoc Committee which will call further meetings, at which more definite plans will -be laid, in the event that the re-ferundum fails to pass. technical education. He said that Badger offers eleven different courses in vocational education, and- expressed a hope that an- arragement incorporating elements of Badgers program could be developed.

The mayor pointed out that the state has ultimate control over the public school system, yet local school districts are allowed a great deal of latitude in dealing with their spec -fic problems. He urged that a similar relationship be developed for the adult vocational education program, avoiding the disadvantages of either extreme of exclusive local or state control. The general consensus of those present was that they were in support of the state referendum, since it seems to them to offer a better set of answers to the financial inequities than the present system. Several prominent persons, including KTI director Keith Stoehr, state senator James Swan, and assemblyman Clarence Wilger, have announced their opposition to the referendum, citing the major objections mentioned above. They feel that inequities would be increased, even if the actual tax burden were decreased.

Johnejack (Cont.nueJ From Page 1 theoretically removing much of the burden of financing from local citizens, who, according to the argument, to not derive benefit from the program in proportion to the amount of money thay pay into it. i Walworth county will be taking a more active part in the KTI program in the near future, after the construction of a county center just outside of Elkhorn, comparable to the Kenosha county system. The new complex will be built on 27 12 acres of land donated by the city of Elkhorn, according to Lee Cartier, a member of the county board of supervisors. Several persons used the occasion to raise their objections against the school, including the claims that a relatively small proportion of persons actually benefit from the Institute. There are at present 4,062 persons enrolled in some phase of the KTI program in Walworth county, a sizable portion of them adults.

It was claimed that the great amount paid into the school by county residents is more than is necessary to finance those who are enrolled. Gerald JLedger, the Elkhorn district director for KTI, defended the school, saying that If the state bill goes through. Ill venture that the Walworth cunty school will never be built. He based this statement on the assumption that increased state control of such operations would increase red tape and cut down local influence over any vocational or technical schools, reducing not only the amount of money actually available, but also the chances of any such building programs ever receiving priority. Also, he noted, state control over the system would not necessarily lower tax rates, since all monies paid in would then be used for support of all state institutes.

Walworth county could find itself paying for the operation of a school in northern Wisconsin which the residents would derive no benefit from whatsoever. Johnejack pointed to Badger high school as an outstanding example of what a public school system can do in the area of vocational and YOUR WEEK IN LAKE GENEVA Thurs.

Hassett. Executive Secretary to Wisconsin Governor Warren P. Knowles, has recently issued a statement which attempts to explain and justify some of the governors recent revenue proposals that accompanied the 1969 state budget. INCOME TAX: Under the Governors proposed increase of .3 of 1 percent of each bracket the first year, every person who must pay state income tax will pay more money. Although the gradual rate stops at 10 percent of $14,000, those who have gross earned income beyond $14,000 will pay tax on each $1,000 of income up to $14,000.

NOTE: Only 3.4 percent of Wisconsin taxpayers earn taxable income of $12,000 or more, representing 18 per cent of the adjusted gross income and they now pay 34 percent of our tax. As a result, Wisconsin already has the highest income tax of any state for middle income to the high income $7,500 to $25,000. Seventy per cent of the potential taxable income is in the Erst $5,000 of everyones income. Therefore, to raise substantial revenue, the tax must come from the first few thousand dollars of everyones income. (This was reported in all previous tax studies made A Only 7 percent of the total taxable income is availableTrom those who make $12,000 and over.

CORPORATE INCOME TAX Wisconsin has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the nation. Only 4 states out of 42 collect more corporate income taxes than Wisconsin. These 4 states New York, California, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania are much larger in both population and industrial base. As a matter of interest, corporations will pay about 17 per cent t( about $49 million) of the gross increase in general sales tax collections under the new revenue proposal but any further increase in the corporate tax today would place Wisconsin far out of line with our surrounding states and probably at the top of all states. SALES TAX: Wisconsin ranks second lowest in terms of the burden per capita among the 45 states which have a sales tax.

The food and medicine credit refund eliminates the re-gressivity of the proposed Wisconsin sales tax for the poor and large families. Wisconsin, which has a bil-lion-dollar tourist industry, will benefit materially from the sales tax because there will be no credit refund for that spending. It can be argued that the middle and higher income who have money to spend will pay far more in sales taxes than persons with a low income. est if any to March 1, 1969.

Dated March 4, 1969 Luther BUI Bloomfield Township Clerk Geneva Inn (ConUnued From Page 1 Wisconsins most famous architect was to be a low building with conspicuous over-hanging extensive ground area 360 feet long the length of a city block). At one end of the building, apart from the hotel, was a residential section which included suites of rooms for families. The original design was made so that 100 or even 200 rooms could be added, but no addition was ever made. One of the original plans agreed by all the contractors and stock holders was that the hotel was to be unique and would not include a bar.

When it was constructed in 1912, the hotel was one of the finest in the country, containing many luxuries uncommon to other hotels. Before its recently closing, however, the hotel was at best a second or thir? rate place to stay. The narrow dark hallways include heavy oak doors with small window panes and outmoded heating units. Many of the rooms overlook a view of the lake and rooms on the first floor afford doorways to a veranda which went along the front of the building. In the best days of the hotel the veranda floor was decorated with ship canvas and gave the appearance of an ocean-going liners deck.

The most typical Wright design is found in the hotel lobby sunburst fireplace with heavy iron grating and large iron balls in front of it. At one time, a Chicago architect proposed a high rise addition to the hotel but the plan never got further than drawings and a rendering which is hanging in the hotel lobby. Now, according to present owner George M. Borg, the cost of repairing the hotel is much greater than any possible return he could receive from the 75 rooms. If the proposed new building is actually built, the Geneva Inn will be soon a forgotten part of Lake Genevas history.
