A man with a taxable income of $1,000 would have an 8.6 per cent tax increase, Han sen said, while a man with a $100,000 taxable income would have a .3 per cent increase Hanson rapped Knowles, who sits on the board of di rectors of three banks, for failing to not even mention taxing banks.

Hanson said the senior par ty had supported the insurgent movement because it supported the principles of the Wisconsin Democratic Party. "The immediate past presi dent of the group took the position that the Young Demo crats was a third party, char tered by national and were not a youth' movement of the state party," Hanson said. "We take the position that we don't want to run the Young Democrats," Hanson said, "but they must follow the senior party principles Hanson said the Young Democrats past administra tion, in an effort to keep control, had attempted to bar the seating of approximately 200 delegates on technicalities.
