Two of the measures are set for
public hearing before the Senate
State Affairs Committee Wednes-
day. They call for a bookkeeping
change in the comptroller’s depart-
ment and a one year boost in
franchise taxes.
The House committee-approved
tax bill differs principally with
the governor-approved measure on
taxing natural gas. Hinson’s bill
yields 36 million dollars by adding
u severance beneficiary tax of five
per cent of value on gas in the
ground and decreasing the produc-
tion tax from seven to five per
cent The committee bill gets only
12 million by raising the produc-
tion tax from seven to eight per
cent. It also does not contain a 30
million dollar revision of franchise
tax laws to include more interstate
operations.
Other provisions of the commit
tee bill include:
One cent cigarette tax Increase,
21 million dollars; increased tax
on other tobacco products, includ-
ing cigars and snuff, $19,200,000;
state liquor tax increase from
$1,408 to $1.55, five million; in-

From the start the board was
split in bitter dispute. The three
who attempted the teacher purge
were pledged to support Faubus in
his fight with the federal govern-
ment over integration. The other
three had been denounced by the
governor as integrationists.
Tucker, Lamb and Matson de-
nied they were integrationists
Faubus closed the four public
high schools last fall under laws
he had sponsored at a special leg-
islative session a few months be-
fore.
The closing was endorsed by a

NATIONAL GUARD
Faubus called out the National
Guard in the fall of 1937 to stop
nine Negroes from attending Cen-
tral High School He said he had
done it to prevent violence but fed-
eral courts ordered him to stop in-
terfering with integration. Presi-
dent Eisenhower then moved in
federal troops to enforce it the
rest of the school year.
The two factions in the recall
battle never debated the issue in
the two and one-half week cam-
paigm, primarily because they dis-
agreed on what it was.
The Committee to Stop This Out-

the sole issue was the firing of the

Monday the House tax com-

bill sharply revised from Gov.

ill-fated tax measure.
Representatives expected Speak-

out for action today. Carr has in-

"If the tax committee doesn't

The Serate was expected to meet
briefly, probably to agree with

campaign- to plead for retention

the controversy over tiring of the
