Senate Groups Okay Bills To Spend More, Tax Less to the full Senate on a roll call of 6-5, with Democrats voting SPRINGFIELD (UPI) Senate committees, ending the legislative week in a flurry of action, have approved bills calling for more state spending and lower taxes. The House took the day off Friday as many of its members journeyed to Pekin for President Nixon's visit.

The Senate Revenue Committee, on a straight party-line vote; approved a proposaL which would freeze local real estate taxes at the level collected this year. The freeze, sponsored by Rep. C. L. McCormick, R-Vienna, and already passed by the House, would, last two years.

While the measure does not call for an outright lowering of any individual's tax bill, supporters say each bill would be. reduced as new taxable property is added to local tax rollp. Says It's 'A Monster' But opponents, including Champaign Mayor Virgil Wikoff, 'ermed the bill "a monster that will arise and strangle 80 per cent of the cities, towns and villages of Illinois." Wikoff said freezing property tax revenues at a time of escalating costs would mean that "unless the legislature provides some replacement revenues, local government in Illinois will be forced to turn back the clock of progress. The programs so become more costly due to inflation." Curtis Plott, executive director of the Illinois Education Association, said schools, the primary beneficiaries of local property taxes, would lose some $116 million a year in anticipated revenue if the bill becomes law. After more than an hour of debate, the panel sent the bill no and Republicans voting yes.

Reject New Exemption However, the committee rejected a plan which would have given each taxpayer a $10-a- year additional exemption on state income tax forms. The plan is similar to one proposed by Gov, Daniel Walker and which, he is touting in his flying tours around the The plan, sponsored by- Rep. James Londrigan, D-Springfield, was killed on a 7-5 vote, with Republicans leading the opposition. They said the plan would "chip away" at the income tax and might eventually force an increase in the rate of the levy. The Appropriations Committee, meanwhile, approved some $1,564 billion in state spending for fiscal 1974, including a $1.44 billion welfare budget which was criticized as too small.

Public Aid Director Joel Edelman said while his department's request "is a very tight appropriation, we are committed to take the necessary management initiatives to make this budget work." $18 Million Cut Walker, in his budget rries- sage earlier this year, cited his cut of some $18 million in public aid as the first such reduction in more than five years. Edelman made it clear he wants to stick to that reduction despite a prediction by committee Chairman Edward McBroom, R-Kankakec, that in "my opinion your budget is too low and See (Continued on Page 20) Election Board Decisions Could Be Matter of Chance SPRINGFIELD (UPI) The Illinois Senate has agreed to hear a bill which could leave to a throw of the dice or a turn of a card the most important decisions about elections in the state. That provision is the heart of a bill introduced Friday which seeks to establish a state board of elections. Such a board, designed as Hie ultimate authority over election matters, is mandated by the 1970 Constitution. But lawmakers have been stymied for three years on the question of how to divide memberships between Democrats and Republicans.

On the one hand, they don't want to provide for an "impartial" member to break tie votes, since each party fears it could lose control of the board's decisions through such a system. On the other, they rec- pgnize that a board evenly split between them, with no tiebreaker, could be paralyzed by tie votes on any important question. So the Senate Elections Committee, after killing the House Mrs. Helen J. Melton, Galesburg Route 2 Mrs.

J. Marie Wilson, 400 N. Academy St. jversion of a board bill earlier I this week, Friday introduced its own measure, which com- mitteo Chairman Don E. Moore, Midlothian, said provides "the solution." "The solution" is a suggestion that the board be composed of four members two Democrats and two Republicans.

But, the bill says, in the event of a tie vote, the four members would draw lots find the loser would drop out while the remaining three members voted again on the same issue. In effect, the party which wins a game of chance would be able to control the board's decision on any given issue. And, the bill further provides that an issue so decided will not be eligible for reconsideration for nine months without unanimous board consent. Powers delegated to the board would include the right to control the content of election instruction manuals; determine the propriety of ballot materials; determine the validity of nominating petitions; and report violations of election law to the appropriate state agency. The bill was advanced to the amendment stage wlthouj opposition and without being required to pass through committee..
