MtAanipulation
'OfTax [base
Manipulating Michigan's tax
base could either result in an $80
million increase in state sales tax
revenue, or, conversely, in a $60
million decrease, according to Prof.
Harvey E. Brazer of the economics
department.
As committee research director,
Prof. Brazer explained to members
of the Citizens Advisory Committee
to the Conlin Legislative Tax
Study that :
1) The insurance premium tax
could be made to yield an addi-
tional $18 million a year by apply-
ing a uniform rate of three per
cent to all segments of the in-
dustryand broadening its base.
Last year receipts from this source
totaled approximately $17,800;
2) The Michigan chain store tax,
'which produces one half million
'dollars a year, might well be dis-
continued since it is not 'worth'
much as a revenue source and is, a
'"discriminatory nuisance."
m nThe committee is now in the
process of fact-finding and is ex-
pected to submit a complete report
fin 1959.
Prof. Braze ebased his discussion
of the sales tax on a research re-
port by Prof. Denzil C. Cline,
Michigan State University eco-
nomist.
Michigan collects the second
Shighest gross revenue, $328,805,000,
among the 33 sales tax states, Prof.
C)ine reported.
An additional $30 million a year
could be raised by including service
businesses and occupations in the
tax base, Prof. Brazer said..
By removing the exemption on
machinery used in industrial and
agricultural processing and apply-
ing a tax levy, Prof. Brazer esti-
mated that $50 million could be
obtained.
However, by removing food from
the scope of the sales tax, as has
been advocated from time to time,
Srevenues of $60 million would be
lost, he observed.
If removing the exemption on
machinery is considered by the
committee, Prof. Brazer suggest-
ed that they also examine the pos-
sible effect on industry plant lo-
cation, since no other sales tax
state is as attractive to industry
on this basis as Michigan.
Approximately 40 per cent of
current business levies would be
added to taxes on industry if the
exemption were eliminated, he
said.

Quad Receives
Larger Desks
Since October, the desks on the
south side of East Quad have
gradually been replaced, according
to, George Langeler, resident direc-
tor of East Quad.
. Langeler explained that the
original desks were installed in
1946 when that wing was built.
Because of the postwar shortages,
the University was niot able to
obtain large enough desks. In ad-
dition to larger desks, new lamps
are being supplied to those rooms.
The new desks, which should be
completely installed within a few
months, are more than two inches
wider than the old ones, Langeler
said.
This will standardize all the
desks in the quad, he added.
