But Taft stronslv indicated to day that if any faction within his party tries to depose him, it will have a terrific fight on its hands; And he made it clear that he would favor no encroachment on the policymaking functions of congressional Republicans. He rejected a suggestion that Republican Re-publican National Chairman Hugh Scott call a party policy conclave. Taft asserted that such a meeting might well be deferred until 1950, and that Republicans already had a pretty good policy stand in their 1948 campaign platform.

" r ' 71 K Plan To Boost Business Tax Is Abandoned (Continued from, Page One) municipalities throughout the nation na-tion are in need of additional revenues. Federal and state agencies agen-cies have used up most sources of revenues leaving local governments govern-ments financially embarrassed. However, during the past few years, cities have been granted broader taxing powers by their state legislatures. No city can ini tiate any worth-while public works on present revenues without with-out resorting to bonding. They have no permanent taxing system that will permit them to, carry out the objectives of public spirited civic groups on a "pay as you go" program. We can have only those necessities and luxuries in city government for which we are willing to pay. Municipalities Agree "In the spirit of cooperation, representatives of Utah's municipalities munici-palities have agreed that no fur ther increases in nuisance taxes will be made pending an attempt to convince the next legislature that a state wide sales tax of one per cent be added to the present two per cent tax, the proceeds of which would come back to the county, cities and towns on a per capita basis to be spent for capl tal improvements such as water and sewer extensions, libraries, air ports, auditoriums, flood con trol projects, public ouiicungs, electric utilities, swimming pools and other capital improvements and projects. "Provo c tv has revised us present merchants license tax ordinance, but at the suggestion of those most vitally concerned have decided- to withhold the enactment en-actment of the ordinance pend ing the outcome of the legislation relating to the proposed one per cent sales tax on a state level. However, the present ordinance now in operation will remain in effect and those authorized to administer ad-minister the ordinance will be asked to scrutinize the reports submitted under the present law to see if some public and private accusations of Improper reporting of sales are well founded. - "Should the one per cent state wide sales tax be adopted, the nuisance tax under our present ordinance would be set aside. "With these conceslson on the part of city officials, we assume that all merchants, professional men, business and labor groups would cooperate in a concerted effort ef-fort to enact a law that would be mutually beneficial to all."
