It further provides that any pro- perty the income of which is taxed under the provisions of the proposed Article may be exempted from the imposition and levying of proportional and reasonable assessments, rates and taxes as at present authorized by the Constitution, and that the Article shall not be construed to limit the power of the General Court to impose and levy reasonable duties and excises.
QUESTION NO. 2 - LAW SUBMITTED UPON REFERENDUM AFTER PASSAGE.
Do you approve of a law summarized below, which was approved by both branches of the General Court by vote not recorded ? YES NO
SUMMARY: This act increases the compensation each member of the General Court shall receive for each regular annual session from fifty-two hundred dollars to sixty-seven hundred dollars and increases the additional compensation of the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall receive from fifty-two hundred dollars to sixty- seven hundred dollars. The act also increases the addition- al compensation the floor leaders of the major political parties in the Senate and House of Representatives, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means and the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means shall receive from twenty - six hundred dollars to thirty-three hundred and fifty dollars, and provides that a member of the General Court chosen to fill a vacancy, or who resigns his seat during a regular annual session, shall receive a per diem compensation at the increased rate of com- pensation for each regular annual session.
