2 SUPER - COMMITTEE ACTS ON PLAN FOR UNEMPLOYABLE FUND 21 Factional Leaders of Assem- bly Also Study Plan to Raise School Revenues North Dakota, through its super committee of 21 factional leaders in the house and senate, Monday took steps to provide $1,000,000 for relief ef unemployable in response to an- ticipated requests of the federal gov- ernment. The committee, meeting with Gov- ernor Walter Welford. also laid the groundwork for a comprehensive plan of legislation to provide $1,000,000 for school relief from one source, with the possibility of other monies from @ second source. The committee voted to support: A bill which would give the schools $1,000,000 through a re- fund from the stae hail insurance fund from the state hail insurance tives Edwin T. Traynor of Ram- sey and L. C. Odegard of Traill. Diversion of funds from the two per cent state re- tail sales tax for purposes of @ good faith’ allocation of $1,- 000,000 for unemployables. A diversion of funds from the sales tax to support the schools, with $1,000,000 or as much as may be necessary,” to be diverted. Under the proposal by Traynor, which would come into the house as’ a bill from the committee on taxes and tax laws, the $1,000,000 would be released immediately to aid the schools, by refund of monies through | state auditors to apply against school} taxes against farm lands. The re-} fund would be on a pro-rated basis} based on the flat tax originally made, | setting up the state hail insurance fund. Traynor's bill has been re-written, | it was explained to the committee, to; “make {t completely constitutional.”! ‘While $1,000,000 would go to the! schools immediately under the pro-! posal by Traynor, members of the/} committee were undecided over the) provision to allocate more funds to the schools from the sales tax, until @ conference is held with school heads to determine the exact needs of the schools.
