The meeting was the first step in Welford's announced program of at- tempting to weld together warring factions of both assemblies, in » common endeavor to produce a gen- eral taxing system which will pro- duce sufficient revenue to carry the State through the next two years. Out of the meeting came declara- tions it would be the “sense of the meeting” that: Some form of sales tax would be supported in both houses. A revenue producing liquor act should be passed by the legisla- ture. Politics should be forgotten in the joint endeavor to meet and solve “the gravest problem fac- ing the state.” Discussed were proposals to raise the gasoline tax, impose a new tax on cigarettes, pass a liquor law to give the state revenue through tax stamps, municipalities, revenue through operation of liquor stores. Seek Joint Endeavor Legislators at the meeting decided their plan would be to join various groups in house and senate together, with sub-committees of committees in both houses to work in joint endeavor. Finally determined was a plan that all sub-committees of the various committees should submit their pro- posed bills first ta the judiciary com- mittees of the two houses, then to the “super-committee” for final reo- ommendaion. Governor Welford, opening the meeting. called on faction leaders to forget their differences in politics to enact a tax plan productive of rev- enue. Passage by house end senate of @ bill to create a tax survey commis- \sion to operate during the next twa years was “a good step forward to- ward developing ® permanent tax structure” Welford said, “but what we need now is an emergency tax He called on the solons to devote their “entire time” to de- veloping an emergency tax program which could be passed by the legis- lature with assurance of support from the people. Minority Spokesmen Agree L. L. Twichell of Cass, J. P. Cain of Stark, W. J. Godwin of Morton and Thomas Burke of Burleigh voic- ed agreement with the governor's statements. Although no definite action on any one proposal grew out of the meet- ing, Welford expressed himself as “completely satisfied” with the meet- ing, terming it a “genuine step in constructive action.” (Continued on Page Seven) 1,200 Reds Arrested; Paris Quiet Restored Paris, Feb. 7—(#)—Safely past the anniversary of “Bloody Tuesday” with @ potential riot averted through the arrest of 1,200 Communists, Paris breathed a sigh of relief Thursday. Citizens who were burying their dead or bandaging their own wounds this time last year prepared to forget the sad day for another 12 months. The Communists, only group which attempted to revive the tragic inci- dents of a year ago Wednesday, found hundreds of their comrades locked in cells awaiting the decision of authori- ties on whether to undertake prose- cutions. A check of the day’s casualties re- vealed that one civilian and five po- licemen were nursing slight injuries, compared with the 19 killed and more than 800 wounded in last year's street battles.
