relative to agriculture use as

The same basic idea is con-

provides that the specified land

Amendment No. 3 calls for
authorizing the legislature to
probide by lawfor the establish-
ment of a uniform method of
assessment of ranch, farm and
forest lands based on the capa-
bility of the lands to support the
raising of livestock or to pro-
duce farm and forest crops.
This would be in lieu of tax-
ing on value of such lands and
the crops growing on them.
The present provision of the
constitution requires no enabl-
ing legislation since it pre-
scribes in detail the procedures
for designating land for agri-
cultural use and the assess-
ment of such land for tax
purposes on the basis only of
factors relative to such use.
The proposed section differs
from the present section in
several respects. The present
section is limited to land
owned by natural persons while
the proposed section contains
no such limitation. Also, the
present section is applicable
to land designated for agricul-
tural use and agricultural use
is defined as “the raising of
livestock or growing of crops,
fruit, flowers and other pro-
ducts of the soil under national
conditions as abusiness venture
for profit, which business is
the primary occupation
source of income of
owner.’
The proposed section is ap-
plicable to farm, ranch and
forest land asd no reference
is made to the primary occupa-
tion of the owner, The present
section provides that the speci-
fied land shall be assessed for
tax purposes on the considera-

I SALES TAX
TO START IN
L PADUCAH 0CT.1
The one per cent city sales
tax approved by Paducah voters
last April will go into effect
Thursday, Oct. 1, City Manager
Johnny Hajek has reminded the
public.
Held on April 4, the election
approved adoption of the penny
tax for Paducah.
Hajek said first benefits from
the tax to be received by the
city will be at the end of the
final quarter of 1970.
The city manager said here
Tuesday that Paducah mer-
chants will need to begin col-
lecting the additional penny on
Oct. 1 on items now taxed under
the State Sales and Use Tax
Act.
Hajek reminded Paducahans
that many items are exempt
from the city sales tax just as
the state tax. He listed as
examples groceries, prescrip-
tions, medicines, eye glassesa
automobiles, gasoline, rents
water, telephone,
cigars, cigarets,
machinery and others.
Hajek said sales tax rate
schedules will be distributed
to Paducah merchants as soon
as they are received from the
comptroller’s office in Austin.
He said he had contacted the
office by telephone Monday and
that the schedules were to be
put in the mail immediately.
Rev. Bob Beck, pastor of
First Baptist Church of Pa-
ducah and president of the C ottle
County Pastors Association,
said this week 20 different
church congregations are work-

Finally, the present section
contains a provision that the
valuation and assessment of
any minerals or subsurface
rights to minerals shall not
come within the provisions of
the section. These items have
no counterparts in the
posed section, details
left to future enabling legis-
lation.
Three arguments are cited
for the proposed amendment:
1. Farm real estate taxes
per acre have increased by
more than 22 per cent, ac-
cording to data compiled by
the Economic Research Ser-
vice of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and
there is a need for the tax re-
lief for owners of such pro-
perty which the proposed a-
mendment would authorize.
2. The constitutional amend-
ment approved by the voters in
1966 has not provided tax re-
lief urgently needed by farmers
and ranchers who use for agri-

Counties are given the oppor-
tunity to receive the polio
immunization, either first or
I second dosage, is scheduled in
I Paducah Sunday, Sept. 27, from
I noon until 4 p.m. at the First
I National Bank lobby.
Sponsored again by the Padu-
| cah Lions Club, with the county
medical profession in charge
of administering the vaccine in
the form of sugar cubes, the
clinic will be free to all per-
sons, young and old.
Both the sponsoring Lions
Club and the city and county
health officers, Dr. George Orr
and Dr. C.C. Pate, have stres-
sed that the vaccine is avail-
able to anyone who wants and
or needs to take it, not just for
the young people and children.
First free oral polio vaccine
was given in Paducah and
Guthrie at clinics sponsored
by the Lions Club Sunday, Aug.
2.
Next Sunday’s clinic marks
the second and will provide an
opportunity for those who took
the first vaccine to receive their
second dose. Third dose will be
given in about a year.
Persons who did not take
the first dose are still urged to
do so at next Sunday’s clinic.
Vaccine for the clinic is being
furnished by the Texas State
Department of Health,. Lions
will pick the vaccine up at the
point to which it is flown prior
to the clinic.
Carl Darr, Lions Club presi-
sent, and Bob Powell, secre-
tary, said their service club
is urging all citizens to take
advantage of the clinic.
A statement issued in Padu-
cah this week by Drs. Orr and
Pate for “clarification on the
need for polio vaccine’’follows:
1. Infants starting at 12
weeks, all children, and adoles-
cents are the usual candidates.
2. Also recommended in
adults in areas of possible
epidemic—such as Texas in
1970.
3. Not recommended for those
people acutely ill (other than
minor upper respiratory ill-
ness; that is, a cold or mild
chest cold is not a contrain-
dication.)
4. Pregnancy is not a con-
traindication, when vaccine is
required.
5. Not recommended under
six weeks of age.
DOSAGE
1. Directly on tongue by drop-
per or sugar cube.
2. Not previously immunized:
two doses, eight weeks apart,
with booster 12 months later.
3. If you forget or don’t know
about previous immunization,
two doses, eight weeks apart,
with a booster 12 months later.
4. Those with complete pri-
mary course: booster every
four years.”
The statement is signed by
Dr. George Orr, city health
officer and Dr. C.C. Pate,
county health officer.

Timber is not recognized as
