AUSTIN, Tex., June 1.—Most
ardent advocates of a tax bill
to pour fresh funds into the
state's coffers likely will be legis-
lative employees.
They may be hunting new
jobs, or working for nothing be-
fore the year is out.
Only about $130,000 remains
in the legislative expense fund
for use between now and the
end of the year. A good part of
this probably will be needed
to pay travel and miscellaneous
expenses of the study commit*
tees that meet between ses-
sions.
If these expenses run very
high, the permanent legislative
employees — people who keep
records, staff the legislative li-
brary, etc.—may run short on
salary money.
Their only course, if they
want to stay on in their jobs,
will be to hang on until the new
legislature finds money to pay
them.

Session Costs Totaled
Last year's legislative ses-
sions—one regular, three special
—cost the state $2,773,140.
This averages out to $16,385
a day when the lawmakers are
meeting, according t o State
Auditor C. H. Cavness' report.
Of the $2,773,140 total, $724,-
000 was spent by the 32-member
Senate, $1,242,000 by the ISO-
member House. Each member
received in salary about $5,000,
at the rate of $25 per day.
Rest of the expense is mostly

for the employees to keep a

Salen Tax Take Estimated
A retail sales tax with gro-
ceries, medical and other ser-
vices exempted would raise an
estimated $133,000,000 a year, a
legislative committee was told.
Collection costs would run
about $3,000,000 a year, a Texas
Research League tax expert
told the Commission on State
and Local Tax Policy.
If the tax covered not only
finished products but raw pro-
ducts used by business in manu-
facturing, the take would be
some $80,000,000 a year more,
but would result in the con-
sumer's paying two taxes on one
item,
A retail sales tax would not
hurt Texas' future industrial
development, the Commission
was told by a business expert,
but a tax on manufacturing
raw materials would.
Very few elective officials
have come out strongly for any
kind of broad-based sales tax.
Some are bound to look long-
ingly at this avenue, however,
since the amount that will have
to be raised next year will, if
teachers get any sort of raise,
be almost as much as a retail
sales tax would net.

"Lame Duck" Opinions Asked
Atty. Gen. Will Wilson has
been asked for opinions on
whether retiring lawmakers

should continue to serve on two
important interim committees.
Four members of the Com-
mission on State and Local Tax
Policy are "lame ducks". They
are the chairman, Sen. Bill Fly
of Victoria, and Rep. Frates
Seeligson of San Antonio, who
were defeated for re-election;
Rep. V. L. Ramsey of Beckville,
who ran for comptroller and
lost; and Rep. Obie Bristow of
Big Spring, who didn't run this
year.
Three of the five members of
the House General Investigat-
ing Committee also did not run
for new terms. They are Rep.
H. J. Blanchard, chairman, and
Reps. Joe Burkett of Kerrville
and Carl Conley of Raymond-
ville,
If the Attorney General rules
that these men should be re-
placed, most of the new appoint-
ments will be made by retiring
House Speaker Waggoner Carr.

Gas Tax Urged
Court action has begun on
what will undoubtedly be a long
legal battle over whether the
natural gas severance benefi-
ciary tax, • passed last year, is
constitutional.
An estimated $15,000,000 a
year in state revenue is at stake.
Tennessee Gas Transmission
Company, which filed a separ-
ate suit, was the first to begin
argument in the Austin dis-
trict court. A consolidated suit,
involving fJO other companies,
will be heard by the same court,
on June Hi.
Tennessee Company spokes-
men argued that the pipelines
are in the business of transport-
ing only and should not be sub-
ject to a tax based on the value
of the gas.
Case is not expected to be
decided finally for many months
when it has gone through all the
lower courts and finally to the
U. S. Supreme Court.

Industry-Seeking Budget Set
Texas Industrial Commission
has set up an operating budget
of $100,000, of which $76,250
will have to be raised privately.
Legislature appropriated $23,-
750 for the Commission, about
10 per cent of what was asked.
Between now and Sept. I,
1961, the Commission proposes
to spend about $60,000 on print-
ing, mailing and advertising.
Remainder would be spent on
salaries and office expenses.
Commission's goal is to at-
tract 254 new industries to
