CHICAGO, Feb- 17 (AP). —
Movements to extend the taxing of
corporations and to reduce inter-
state trade barriers are afoot in
nearly a score of the state capitols
of the nation.
Proposals to the contrary—fa-
voring a liberalization of laws af-
fecting corporations and a tighten-
ing -of trade restrictions — have
been made to only a few legisla-
tures. an Associated Press survey
disclosed today.
A bill has been introduced in the
Oregon legislature, asking that a
three per cent tax be levied on
dividends of out-of-state corpora-
tions. Another seeks to increase
the length and weight of motor
trucks, to conform with the regu-
lations of bordering states, thus
removing what has been consid-
ered a trade obstacle.
Pending in the California senate
is a bill recommending a two and
one-half per cent tax on the privi-
lege of declaring and receiving
dividends. It was patterned after
the celebrated Wisconsin law, and
would apply to both foreign and*
domestic corporations.
Interstate Cooperation Sought
Two other suggested measures
likewise awaiting senate action
would create in California a com-
mission of five senators, five as-
semblymen and five persons ap-
pointed by the governor, on inter-
state cooperation.
Re-enactment of its statute tax-
ing dividends of home and out-of-
state corporations is sought in
