With Accuracy That’ll Open Your Eyes
At Allis-Chaimers we don't design planters ... we design "planting systems".
There's a reason. No two farming operations are exactly alike, so no two farmers
need exactly the same planter design With our planters you choose a basic system
... either the 600 Series pull-type or the 300 Series tractor-mounted . and design
your own planter from more than 200 options
Both systems offer a choice of sizes from 2 rows to 12 rows, and row widths from
18 inches to 40 inches. There are attachments to handle any fertilizer, herbicide
and insecticide program you choose, whether liquid or granular. And there are
options that let you choose and change from conventional, wheel-track and No-Til
planting programs
Because we've designed planting systems instead of just planters, you can buy a
system you won't outgrow. Changing row widths, chemical programs, or even
tillage practices won't make these systems obsolete Change a couple of options .
and your system is ready for your new operation
When it comes to planting units, you'll know you started with the right system

He said the government’s
push for complete fuel in
dependence was wise, but he
didn’t feel we should ever
entirely stop buying crude oil
for foreign suppliers. “We
want to sell food to the rest of
the world, which means we
have to buy their products in
return. And if we don’t buy
their crude, they can’t buy
our food.”
The energy crisis isn’t all
bad, Frazier commented,
because it’s forcing us to do
some of the things we should
have been doing anyway.
The country’s new
awareness of fuel problems
has forced a lot of people to

The recently enacted tax
cut for all Pennsylvanians,
hammered out after an
eight-month stalemate, has'
raised the question of
Constitutionality.
The fact that the plan
could be challenged in the
courts has - caused some
people to be concerned over
the possibility of losing the
tax break. They apparently
believe that if the plan falls,
the reduction in the Penn
sylvania Income Tax is
invalid.
That’s not true. Built into
the plan is what is called a
severability clause, a clause
which says simply that if any
part of the tax relief plan is
found invalid, the rest
remains in effect.
The part of the plan sup
posedly on shaky Con
stitutional ground has
nothing to do with the actual
cut that drops the income tax

cent. The part in question
has to do with defining who is
eligible for a tax exemption
under a special clause in the
Constitution.
Under Article VIII, Section
2 of the Pennsylvania
Constitution, the Legislature
is empowered to create
special classes for taxation
of the poor, the aged, the
disabled and the infirm.
Defining just who is in
firm, however, seems to be
the problem. Though the
Constitution allows setting
up the class, it does not
provide any guidelines for
defining the class.
To date, the matter has
been more academic than
anything. There has been no
indication that anyone is
going to challenge the
provision. And even if they
do, it is quite possible the
court would find in favor of
the way the plan is drafted.
The important thing,
however, is that regardless
of what happens, the long

Since it is retroactive to
January 1, the tax will be
collected from May 1
through the end of this year
at 1.85 per cent. That means
that for each SlOO you earn,
$1,85 will be deducted rather
than the $2.30 that is being
taken out under the old plan.
Starting January 1 of next
year, the withholding rate
will be $2.00 for each $lOO you
earn.
It is because of Republican
insistence that the tax cut is
permanent. From the outset,
the Governor wanted a one
shot cut in the form of a
direct rebate. Republicans
stood firm, arguing that both
revenues and projected
revenues clearly indicated a
permanent cut was possible.
That point - permanent or
one-shot relief - was the
chief cause for the eight
month stalemate. Finally, a
Republican plan was passed
by the Senate and House, but
vetoed by the Governor. This
led to the talks that resulted
in the compromise plan.
Originally, the
Republicans wanted a 12
percent credit for State
income tax paid in 1973. It
was part of the plan vetoed
by the Governor.
Finally, in place of the 12
percent credit, the
Republicans settled for
special consideration of the
elderly, disabled and ser
vicemen and a compromise
was worked out.
