The Florida House today re- fused by a single vote to kill a! proposal to write a three percent limit on sales taxes into the state) § constitution. Its sponsor, Rep. Okell of Dade county, then got permission of| the House to postpone final ac- tion on the measure so he can get a legal opinion on the effect it would have on the state’s tax structure. The state sales tax now is set at three percent. The Okell Proposal would write that into the Florida constitution as a top limit so it could only be in- creased in the future by vote of the people. Rep. Beasley of Walton county, principal floor opponent of the proposal, said such an amendment would estroy the state's fi-) nancia] structure.” \ He declared Florida's seven! cents a gallon gasoline tax and} nickel a pack cigarette tax as| well as the state liquor levies all| were sales taxes and would be drastically reduced under the pro- posal. Okell said they were excise taxes and actually were paid by the them along to the consumer. He told the House his proposal would affect only the three percent sales| westerly winds, fresheni | showers. Florida: Few thundershowers in ‘central and today, otherwis Rep.

The hottest questions before the} legislature were working back- committee hopes to have a r port of its investigation of re- ported crime and _ corruption ready to file with the House sometime tomorrow. It has ended its hearings, and committee law- yers are drawing the report. Rep. Okell of Dade said his pro- posed articles of impeachment by which he seeks to oust Governor Warren from office will not be! ready for submission to the! House before Saturday. He has not disclosed the charg- es he will make, but some of them likely will be based on testimony produced before the Haley com- mittee and a Senate committee that has been investigating the State Beverage Department. The chairman of the House Fi- nance committee distributed among House members a pro- vision measure which will go be-! fore his committee later this week for action. Aic.s of comptroller C. M. Gay said it would produce only about! $1,000,000 a year above what the! sales tax as now drawn yields.| That is perhaps six or seyen mil- lion dollars less than most fi- nancial experts say will be need- ed to meet the legislature’s extra spending authorizations. | The bill would cut the proceeds by starting the tax on the iith cent of purchase price instead of the ninth. It would pick up some money by taxing candy sold in packages costing 50 cents or more, lower- ing the exemption on amusements edmissions . to cent fax! on ‘most; collecting j six, nt meiit, rent; vy on the first ote] and; apart- ‘de purchase OF igesy industifat ‘eqiipment.
