Teachers' Promissory Notes OK? LANSING 1.4 The Attorney General's office has been asked to pass on the legality of teachers signing promissory notes pledging their pay checks and then turning the checks over to a bank. Lynn M. Bartlett, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, said the scheme was proposed as one way of paying teachers during the financial pinch caused by failure of the Legislature to pass the school aid bill. John Frechette, superintendent of Merrill Community School, proposed to use the plan locally.

"We have no intention of issuing script as such, although this might be considered similar to it," Bartlett said. Bartlett said the Attorney General was asked if the teachers would be legally bound to turn over their checks after signing the agreement. pre prei The Board of Education with school-building a i 'We'll Lead Small FiekP ---Roimiey Continued from Page One model-year output of 374.000 more than 6 per cent of the market.

The witness was Paul Todd, of Kalamazoo, president and majority owner ot the Farmers Chemical Co. A member of the State Economic Development Commission, Todd favored a business-profits tax to supplement the proposed one-cent use (sales) tax increase. His appearance enlivened the second day of hearings called by Taxation Chairman Clyde H.

(ieerhngs Hol-i land) to ask businessmen how they would prefer to pay higher taxes. Tuesday's hearing again featured corporation officers small businessmen who 'oppose any increase, After hearing 43 witnesses in ithe two days, Geeilings closed the hearings. He said he is "convinced the Legislature (should consider carefully whether any increase in taxes on business will decrease, job opportunities in the state." The House-Senate conferees will resume negotiation Thursday for a tax settlement. There was no indication the hearings had changed the position of either side. Senator Harold M.

Ryan Detroit) described the testimony as "3 good demonstration sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and the Michigan Manufacturers Association" When pressed to make a choice, nearly all favored a flat increase in the business activities tax rather than changes to make the BAT more of a levy on profits. BUT NOT TODD. "I have sat here for better than a day listening to a parade of witnesses tell you that any increase at all in business taxes will result in black disaster and will result in an exodus of in-dustrv and business from the gtate he said. "This Is not only completely ridiculous, it Is utter nonsense." Todd said he realized the. Senate had blocked a profits tax, so he recommended a compromise by adjusting the BAT to get more money from prof itable firms and less from those losing money.

Todd's position is the same as that of Gov. Williams and House Democrats. REPUBLICAN'S were un- sional club, it was pointed out also am a member of the Kalamazoo Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and the United States Chamber pf Commerce," Todd replied. EARLIER the committee received a statement from the Michigan Retailers Association on behalf ot 22 members who attended Monday's hearing but couldn't stay over. They opposed any business tax increase, but said they would prefer a flat increase in the BAT of one mill if necessarv.

A. X. COLE, tax manager of Chrysler also opposed higher business taxes, but favored the flat increase in the BAT when forced to make the choice. Cole said that if Chrysler's Michigan plans and offices had been in neighboring states, the firm would have paid less taxes last year. The difference, he said, would have been 10 million dollars in Illinois, 14 millions in Indiana.
