OCTO~ I .L AR L a Carlos Montoya To Play Flamenco Guitar Here RISE ACROSS COUNTRY: Tax Problems Burden Nation The pre-gypsy sources of fla- menco are, attributed to the folk music of Andalusia, the provinces of southern Spain. These sources include Byzantine, Moorish and Hebraic elements with the arrival of the gypsy set in the 15th cen- tury. The gypsies served to intensify, dramatize and preserve the Anda- lusian music until they interpret- ed the music so authoritatively that wealthy Andalusians hired gypsies to sing and play flamenco at their parties. Flamenco, like the blues, has been carried far from its place of origin. In its present form of elab- oration, fiamenco is more of a minstrel music than folk music. Tells Story Since flamenco tells a story and is always sung solo with the ac- companiment of dancers and gui- tars, the solo guitarist must be able to exploit his insti'ument in order to suggest the intense feel- ing portrayed by the singers and dancers. Most of Montoya's unique abil- ity came through experience, es- pecially by watching and listening to the flamenco performers in a cafe where he worked.

"It is not- intellectual, but emo- tional; it is what we feel. It is not folklore because it cannot be played by all the people, but only a small number. You can put some of It down on paper, but not all. Some vanishes into air when you do.' "The two things about Mon- toya," says Johnny Camacho, whoj is in charge of the guitarist's re- cording sessions, "are that you never know what he's going to do, and he lives everything that he plays."

The legislators of 40 of the 46 states which held sessions this year have gone home, most of them burdened with news of higher taxes for their constituents. The state legislators made more changes in tax laws than ever be- fore in history: 116 major revisions in the statutes which determine how big a bite the state govern- ment gets from the state economy. All but a handful enlarged the bite. According to the Tax Founda- tion, a private New York organiza- tion dedicated to keeping track of the nation's tax bill, the main rea- son for the record number of state tax increases was the change in the state fiscal picture between 1957 and 1959. Two years ago the future looked bright for most state treasuries. Expanding economies were produc- ing tax yields higher than, ex- pected. Manydstates reliedon con- tinued expansion to hold 1957-59, budgets in balance. Over Estimate Yields When the recession slowed down the economy, tax collections be- gan lagging behind expected yields and some treasuries were subjected to a new drain by unemployment payments. In 1958, for instance, yields from sales taxes were only .8 per cent higher than 1957, compared to an 8 per cent increase 1957 over 1956. Most state budgets this year esti- mate increased yields of only 4 to 8 per cent over 1958-59 collections, whereas in 1957 the increases were estimated at 8 to 12 per cent. Governors in 31 states proposed tax increases this year totalling almost 1.5 billion dollars. Some of the new revenues were to cover deficits in budgets ending in 1959, but most were to balance-state in- come with rapidly rising state ex- penditures. Revise Taxes Net income was a favorite target of the tax-writers, with 15 states making major changes in taxes paid on net income of individuals and corporations. Federal - type withholding taxes on personal income were consid- ered by almost a dozen legisla- tures, and adopted by six: Massa- chusetts, New York, North Caro- lina, Oklahoma,' South Carolina and Utah. This hiked the number of states employing state with- holding taxes to 17. Fourteen states adopted new or increased old general sales or use taxes. Seventeen states increased, or put new levies on sale of tobac- co products, and 13 added or upped taxes on alcoholic beverage sales. Four states increased gasoline taxes. Increase Revenues Per capita state tax figures for the fiscal year 1959, which ended last June, show that tax payments were up almost universally. The per capita figures rose in 43 states (including Alaska) over the pre- vious year, and decreased in only six. Biggest jump occurred in Dela- ware, where the figure leaped from $123.68 to $149.94. A $7,44 per capita rise in New Jersey cost that state the distinc- tion of having the lowest per capi- ta state taxin the nation. Nebras- ka now has the honor with $55.60, more than three dollars under New Jersey's $58.85. The highest per capita figures in the nation are in Delaware ($149.94), Washington ($148.74), Nevada ($145.61), Louisiana ($139.04) and New Mexico withheld AP Newsfeatures ($134.68). Besides Nebraska and New Jersey, others on the low end of the scale are Missouri ($67.76), Virginia ($68.66) and Kentucky ($69.20). Average state tax per capita for the nation was $91.70. The cor- responding figure in fiscal 1958 was $88.31.
