Stamford—Baaed on a six to
one affirmative rep4yon a.refer-j^e tax bill in accordance with
every ad valorem taxpayer in the
form of reduced taxes. A most
important point of our program
is making it mandatory on the
six t° j political subdivisions to reduce

and about 500" members of t^xa- jp^gaj js t0 ^ite into the constitu-
tion and public Expenditure ®°™"j tion a limit of 2 per cent on any
mittees in its 193 membership j sa]es tax that may be levied by
towns, the West Texas Chamber of the legislature.
Commerce announced today its ad-
vocacy of a 2 per cent sales "tax
for Texas, on' the last retail sale,
"providing the state uses the reve-
nue equitably to fund the out-
standing indebtedness of all cities,
counties and schools, and provid-
ing the local ad valorem tax bills additional tax.''
be reduced in accordance with the
amount of debt relief secured."
The referendum ballot was the
second recently sent out by the
WTCC. In the first—in line with
a recommendation made by the
senate taxation committee headed
by. Senator Arthur P. Duggan—
directors and tafc committeemen
voted: affirmatively,, but by the
close marginof,107: to 88, on a 2
per cent sales tax as an outright
replacement for the present ^ ad
valorem or property tax. Meeting
in Plainview January 15, the offi-
cers' committee' of the regional
chamber counted the vote, and in
view of ifs closeness tentatively
announced it" would favor a . sales
tax for funding Ahe debt of three
political subdivisions — cities,
counties and schools—^provided a
clear-cut approval was given on a
second referendum.
In announcing'fodjiy the six to
one decision, Jariiea D. Hamlin,
president of the West Texas
Chamber of "Commerce, said:
'<Real estate or visible property
now bears practically all of the
burden of - city government, of
county government, a large share
of school government and a great
per cent of state government. The:
average total of taxes assessed on*
real estate in these subdivisions
of govlhiment is from $3.50 to $6
per $100 valuation These taxes
must be paid whether the prop-
erty makes or does not make a re-
turn, otherwise these taxes ate
governmental liens upon such
properties. Around $50,000,000 in
taxes in. West Texas are delin-
quent.
"It is proposed that the state,
with a ijales; tax will proratably
fund the debts of political subdi-
visions, now estimated to amount
to $730,000,000.' It is estimated
that it takes 45 cents out of every
ad valorem tax dollar to pay the
interest and sinking fund on out-
standing debts. If the state takes
over the task of funding such
outstanding indebtedness very
substantial relief will- be given to
The proposition is a supplant-
ing tax and hot an additional tax.
We are for the sales tax only as
a means of relieving the ad va-
lorem tax burden by debt paying,
and we would be unalterably op-
posed to a sales tax if it were an

Rosborough met a man who told
him that his parity cotton eheck
was ear-marked to buy fruit' trees

such a good idea sto Rosborough
that he has made up charts for Yi-
