I LLjWrrriF QK IT' WKB As was to be expected, there are many legislators speaking out against the bill to reduce the siiejof Minnesota' Legislature, One satd: "I don't tee that we need to copy other stale legislatures." (Minnesota has Ihe largest senate the- nation). Another said that reducing Ihe size, would riot get any mare done. On that, he may well be-mistaken, Still another pointed out that smaller states do have larger, legislatures when considered in population. That-teems to say. if others have unwieldy -legislative bodies.it is logical for Minnesota to have one, too.

The reactions are natural human nature considered. If the move to reduce tlie size of the state bedy is geared to the next legislature or llie one after, ihen some of those voting for the measure will be Voting themselves out of a job. And most of those who run for legislative posts do so because they like the idea of power and a. measure of celeb- rily. The solution, it seems to us, ib'to work for a change at a time far enough into the future tD eliminate the specter of any immediate job losses.

The thinking arid vollhg of a good many then may change. Four or six years in the fulure. Jail Terms for instance, is quite different from' next year, Also, setting up annual sessions for newly designed legislature' would draw support.

Growing Goal in Taxation By JOHN CTMNiFF Ap Bulness Analyst- i NEW YORK. AP) Presi'deht Nison's las proposals are perhaps only the beginning of many, more that will be hmught forth tna next tew years, for the rtiT; rrLt-Zf1 1-erts are full of inconsistencies. riJtperimeniaiion ana nexiDUi- 1y are likely to be far more common In the 1970s, for' the overly simple thinking that viewed taxes as for raising revenue only, and not tools for social change, seems old-fashioned now. It isn't only what is wrong with taxes that attracts the aU tentiofi of reformists.

As big a goal is the' gorxl that can be wrought by the wise collection and distribution of tax money. This was recognized by Nixon in asking Congress to release two million poverty-level American families from paying income taxes, This might not put much money in the pockets of the poor, JIM or so, but it is revolutionary thinking. New thinking, rather than new proposals based on nfd Ihinking, is what some critics insist is needed above all today. Trying to torture old ideas lo fit new situations, thev sav. is what permits loopholes.

One of the most glaring inconsistencies was pointed out earlier this year by Joseph Barr, former President Lyndon B. Johnson's secretary of Treasury, who disclosed that 21 individuals with incomes of more than' .41 million a year paid no income la.es at all in a recent year. But there are lesser known areas of the federal tax code that increasingly are criticized. Among 1he accusations: Tax laws promote slums. Major repairs of rental proper-.

tics by landlords cannot be deducted as maintenance costs in one year, but must be depreciated gradually over a period of many years. This may discourage Tax laws discourage saving and reward borrowing, because 1 interest cn savings and' dividends on slocks are taxed, while interest paid is tax deductable. This is one reason why corporate takeovers often are paid for in borrowed money ralher than in stock. Tax laws cause sincle tier- sons to carrv an unfair hiirttah. forcing them in effect, to subsi-: dlie marriages and babies.

Be-' cause they can divide income between husband and mar- ried couples pay lower (axes Irian single people. Such apparent inciinsistcnces -A 1 1 name, in urnaro on weaneMay.
