MINUTES OF THE MEETING of the STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE March 19, 1959 Present: Dr. Smith, Chairman; Messrs. Harlan, Rouse, Stevens, Vanderploeg, President Hannah, Treasurer May and Secretary McDonel Approval graduated income tax mentioned in resolution submitted by Don Stevens Ah sent: Mr. Brody; Dr. Bartlett The meeting was called to order at 10:25 a.m. The minutes of the previous meeting were approved* SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS 1. Approval of the Finance Committee Items on the preceding pages. On motion of Mr. Rouse, seconded "by Mr. Vanderploeg, it was voted to approve the Finance Committee Items. 2. Mr. Stevens presented the following resolution for consideration: "Providing of certain governmental services, including education at the primary, secondary and college levels, is one of the functions of the state. To meet these obligations, there must he tax revenues. These state taxes serve two purposes. They provide the revenue to finance state government and its agencies and furnish a considerable amount of financing for government at the local level. In addition, they give the residents of a state a measure of responsibility. It is the people who are the final judges of whether the money they pay in taxes is spent judiciously and for services deemed important. Recently Governor Williams proposed a tax program which calls for a graduated income tax and other equitable taxes similar to those recommended by the Conlin Citizens Tax Study Committee. The Governor's proposals include certain advantages for business and industry in the form of credits against state tax for a portion of the personal property tax paid locally. The State Board of Agriculture, governing body of Michigan State University, deems these tax proposals equitable and is of the opinion they would provide for the stateTs financial needs, Including sufficient funds for education. The people of Michigan, since this state was admitted to the Union more than a century ago, have a deep Interest in education. They have made available to every boy and girl in this state a tax supported high school education. In the field of higher education, Michigan has teen pre-eminent. Its facilities for education at college level are antedated by only a handful of such institutions. Each year state supported colleges and universities seek to broaden their services and extend their courses so that nearly every high school graduate has the opportunity of further education if he desires. Such a program is in keeping with the sentiments expressed many times by people of Michigan of the present generation and of generations long past. It has been generally accepted that additional state revenue is a necessity. It is the opinion of the State Board of Agriculture that more income can best be provided under the equitable systems proposed by Governor Williams and the Conlin Citizens Tax Study Committee when they presented plans for a graduated income tax.n On motion of Mr. Mr. Rouse voted " Stevens, seconded by Mr. Vanderploeg, it was voted to approve the above resolution, no" on this motion. SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS, continued 3*. Mr* Varner reported to the Board on proposals before the State Legislature of interest to Michigan State University. On motion of Mr. Stevens, seconded by Dr. Smith, it "was unanimously voted to enthusiastically approve the constitutional amendment that has been placed on the spring ballot by the Legislature proposing to change the name of this Board from the State Board of Agriculture to the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science. March ±9, 1959 4119 $30,000 to be paid into fund for sewag system MSU-0 Committee on ;Future of the University to consider requirement re: ROTC Board in favor :of proposal to grant Bd Gov Wayne State constitutional status Resignations It is further requested that the University on behalf of the Board request the newspapers and radio and television stations of the State to use their influence to acquaint the electorate with the advantages of this name change. k* Mr. Varner discussed with the Board plans that are being developed for the "construction of a sewage system to serve the section of 'Oakland County whbh includes MSU-O. It is proposed that MSU-0 pay into this program the $30,000 now budgeted for septic tanks with the understanding that the balance of our obligation will be worked out with the local authori ties to be reported back to the Board before final action is taken. 5* There was discussion of the objections being raised by certain students and faculty members to a continuance of the requirement that all able-bodied male students be required to take basic ROTC. The President indicated that he would ask the Committee on the Future of the University to include this subject in their study now in progress. 6. Inasmuch as there is on the spring ballot a proposal to grant to the Board of Governors of Wayne State University the advantages of constitutional status, a motion was made by Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Rouse, that this Board records itself as in favor of this action.
