TAXES To finance the welfare reform bill and balance next year's state budget, the Legislature this week parsed a $94 million tax programsecond largest in the state's history. The tax package raises the new revenue by three basic means: It hikes the state income tax for individuals from 3.075 to 4 percent. It increases corporate income taxes from 6.75 to 7.5 percent. And it allows individuals to deduct only half their Federal income tax payment from the state levy, instead of all of it.

SESSION Tage It By TIMOTHY LELAND Globe lltte Hostt Buret The 1967 Legislature will not go down in the annals of Massachusetts as the most productive in the history of the Commonwealth. On the other hand, even if it does nothing else in the few remaining days of the session, it will have left an imprint on the social fabric of the state that will be visible for many years to come. The record shows that in the course of another 12-month-long session, this year's Legislature has made steady sometimes dramatic progress in a number of important areas. Following is a summary of them: WELFARE REORGANIZATION Under this legislation the first major reorganization of the state's welfare system in more than a hundred years will become effective July 1. The welfare reform bill was the product of a $175,000 professional study that found the present locally-run welfare structure to be an administrative nightmare, a reservoir of old-fashioned prejudices, a jungle of red tape that was strangling fresh attempts at family reconstruction.

With the reorganization, the present 270 small local welfare offices will be replaced by some 50 large multi-service centers, fully staffed with teams of professionals who can deal with the problems of welfare on a wide front. The other key provision of the bill calls for the state assumption of all local welfare costs, along with state responsibility for running the program.

The Cardinal said that "what we need today are saints not artificial apparitions from the ancient past, not unreal figures etched on stained glass or carved in plaster." "We need competent, conscientious Christians who in word and work will convev to our society the meaning for which it desperately craves," he said "the meaning which Christ commissioned us to give." Cl'SIIING Taie 5 Richard Cardinal Cushing in his Christmas Day sermon urged Christians to "stop talking" about love, and "start acting." "We are hearing a great deal today about the primacy of Love, the theology of Love," he said. "I plead with all Christians on this Christmas Day.
