It should he pointed out that there has been no indication that a change in the law will be proposed to the legislature meeting next month for a biennial 61-day ses-ion. But in the light of high interest in tax measures of all kinds, the United Press felt the opinions of the assemblymen on ■ he subject were timely. Those who replied to the questionnaire represented 54 percent of houre members and 42 percent of senators. Two Republicans indicated they felt that elimination of the tax would only mean a new tax of some sort to replace it. A Republicdh senator, obviously ' interested in the financial plight •of local governmental units, said he favored keeping the 15-cent tax ‘but giving the entire amount to the counties." A Democra'ic senator believed •he state would do well to keep collecting the tax but funneling all of the money into a fund for paying a bonus to World War 11 veterans.
