As far as I can sec, the sales tax is the answer to the fiscal problem. If the governor has any suggestions, he should come up with Meanwhile, GOP and Democratic legislative leaders mapped plans for a fourth round of tax compromise meetings with Gov, Leader tomorrow. The governor will be out of town most of this week on a tour of California.

The sales tax and budget cuts were proposed by the Republicans last month. The plans were accompanied by a suggestion to in- ciease the estimate of revenue from existing taxes by 76 million dollars. Governor Shocked The governor termed the GOP piogram "shocking." His own plan for a classified income tax was killed in the Republican-controlled Senate. The legislature returns to action tomorrow after a week's recess for the Labor Day holiday. Meanwhile, as the lawmakers returned to Harrisburg, the governor's projected trip to the West Coast drew bathed comment from Republican officials.

Smith termed "absurd" a claim by Charles Sehgman, director of the corporate tax collections in the revenue department, that the state was shortchanged 25 million dollars in taxes in the last two years of the Republican administration. "If there is even a semblance of truth in this claim, which we doubt, then the governor should immediately direct the department of revenue to increase the estimates for revenue from these same taxes in the next two years by million dollars," Smith declared. From Democratic quarters William D.

Thomas, secretary of property and supplies, said Republican claims of being able to tr.m 330 million dollars from the Leader budget were "a headline grabbing tactic." "The Republicans talk big about savings and slashing the funeral home, South Sterling said Thomas, they during the The House returns Monday ready to vote on a constitutional amendment to authorize a graduated income tax in Pennsylvania.
