Senate Finance Committee
Completes Its Labors on
Appropriation Bills
Austin, Tex.—By increase of the ad
valorem tax rate of 23c the state can
be run the next two years without ad-
ditional revenue legislation at the spe-
cial session, the senate finance com-
mittee reported this week in an analy-
sis of the state’s financial .condition.
This is the first • official indication
that the tax rate will be raised.
The committee has approved total
appropriations of $44,827,861.42 for the
two years beginning Sept. 1, which
will make it necessary to boost the
tax rate the first year to 32c and to
25c the second year, or an average of
5%c a year more than it is now.
By the proposed increase, the com-
mittee estimated, the state’s revenue
will be $45,223,322.28 for the two years.
Neither the recommended appropria-
tions nor the estimated revenue in-
clude the special funds with which
several state departments run them-
selves.
The four major appropriation bills
completed by the senate committee
Saturday call for an aggregate of
$41,938,681.42 that will come out of the
general revenue fund. To that sum is
added rural school aid of $3,000,000 for
the two years, $1,000,000 for expenses
of the special session, emergencies and
a miscellaneous appropriation bill, and
an appropriation of $1,400,000 to sup-
plement the available school fund for
the second year, making the final total
run over the forty-four-million mark.
The grand total, however, includes
about $3,000,000 appropriation for the
state prison system, which the system
itself will pay into the general revenue
fund hereafter under terms of the re-
organization bill passed by the fortieth
legislature. ' x
During the first year of the next
biennium the state will take in a net
total of $23,283,661.14 on a 32c tax rate,
the committee estimated, counting inu
the prison revenue and other general
revenue not based on property tax and
deducting 20 per cent for delinquencies
and cost of collection.
