PLAIN ECONOMY So-called economy and efficiency measures which will, if enacted, tend to reduce public expense are contained in nine measures.

The bills range from shortening the state ballot by making the offices of state superintendent of public instruction, secretary of agriculture, and commerce commission appointive, to application of the use tax to Homestead tax credit fund to insure maintenance of full homestead 25 mill credit. Included iu this group of bills are civil service for state em- ployes, creation of state purchasing agent, prohibition of issuance of automobile licenses until delinquent personal property taxes are paid, freeing taxing bodies from paying state gas tax and state use and sales taxes, freeing of cities and towns from paying county road taxes but which permits them to make same levy on city and town property. HEAVY SAVING Yet to be introduced are four other bills which will, if enacted, enormously reduce public expense. They embrace: Diversion of $1,250,000 a year paid on beer barrel tax from the public deposit fund to the use of cities and towns, thus giving cities and towns about 80 cents per capita ot population. Centralizing of control of 2000 state-owned motor vehicles under a state car dispatcher, thereby saving at least $100,000 a year in the annual $1,000,000 state motor vehicle expense.

Combining of administration and collection of ail state taxes iu a state tax commission. Combining of all state police and inspection services in one state department of public safety.
