Governor Sterling said the tax-
payers could he assured that
whatever tax they owe this year
on county bonds for state road
improvements will be eliminated
by the legislature at a special
session which he promised to call
in September, through enactment
of a bill applying money from the
state highway fund to pay the
interest and sinking fund on all
such bonds.
He explained that this refund
legislation would immediately re-
lieve taxpayers of various coun-
ties by amounts ranging higher
than $1 to $100 valuation, depend-
ing upon the indebtedness and tax
rates of the individual counties.
“My opponent proposes a
scheme of placing one-third of the

eral revenue fund to reduce the
book expenditures have been cut
down more than $209,(100 during
the last year.”
On martial law in East Texas
the executive said in part:
“Last year the price of crude
oil had sunk to a point that
brought the state virtually no
revenue and was bankrupting in-
dependent operators. They could
not get enough for their oil to
pay for the labor and other costs
of production in the thousands of
small wells. East Texas land and
royalty owners were getting noth-
ing for their holdings. Oil was
being bought for 5 and 10 cents
in blast Texas and taken to Okla-
homa, Louisiana, Indiana and
other states.
»‘i shut the well i: fur a year. I
told them I preferred to pm

my royalty, and -<> the company < i<l*-*I fit mm
finally offered me 8225.000 in

front production when the well
should he op, tied. I agreed t"j
that, and the company paid me I
the .advance royalty. plus Me

“As far as being influenced by
the big interests is concerned,
let's look at some of the facts
and see who the big interest can-
didate is. Old Jim worked stren-
,usly as the paid lobbyist of the
ulphur interests of South Texas,
against the sulphur tax which I
advocated as a means of relieving
the small taxpayer of some of his
burden.
