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.
