the committee would permit those
with $3,000 and less income to
make out returns merely by com-
puting their income and then con-

Taxpayers in that group, how-
ever, would have the option of
using the special form or of mak-
ing out their taxes on the present
form. In some cases the taxpayer
would save a little by choosing be-
tween the two-forms.

forms were used, a single man
with no dependents and an $800
income would pay $3 compared
with nothing under the house bill
and nothing at present. If he had
a $2,000 income, he would pay
$117 under the committee bill,
$110 under the house bill and $44
under present law. With a $5,000
income, his liability would be $483,
$473 and $172, respectively.
A married man with no depend-
ents and a $2,000 income would
pay $42 under the committee plan

The school of 682 inmates re-

from petty theft to rape and mur-

convicted for major crimes were

The big boys’ yard was the area

from younger inmates.
The superintendent, who will be
succeeded as head of the school
Monday by R. N. Winship of Aus-
tin. said the break started when
Inmate Glenn Ransom yelled,
"Boys, let’s go." 2
He said Ransom escaped about
three weeks ago and was cap-
tured near Albuquerque, N. M.
Nesbitt said it was the most se-
rious break ever made from the
school and he believed more ade-
quate means should be taken to
guard the young charges, adding:
"These kids are not sent down
here for going to Sunday school.”
May Remove Dogs
The school has four bloodhounds
—which were put on the fugitives’
trail last night—but Nesbitt said
he and the inmates had heard re-
ports that even the dogs would be
removed from the institution next
week. 1
He said dhere had been an un-
dercurrent unnAt recently and
that the escapees might have
timed the ,break believing that if
they remained free a few days the
hounds would be called off the
scent. Hel added:
“I’ve been looking for the thing
they did. but they pulled it 24
hours before I thought they would.”
. The school head said nine of the
fugitives were captured after
swimming the swollen stream, that
others probaby swam across
and scattered into bottomlands
where a search would be difficult.
Oddly enough the fugitives made
their escape during their August
vacation—the only month they
don’t attend their half-day school.

O. Edgington, manager of the local
office of the Texas State Employ-
ment service, stated Saturday.
Discouraging practice of import-
ing numerous workers when an
adequate supply of local labor is
available, Mr. Edgington, explained
that the Texas State Employment
service will be able to secure al-
most any number of cotton pickers
from other sections of Texas, pro-
vided harvest demands reached
high proportions.
Mr. Edgington estimated that
the peak of cotton picking will be
reached about October 1. How-
ever, the season will be well under
way by September 20, he pre-
dicted.
Gainesville market square again
will be the concentration point for
cotton pickers to be distributed to
cotton fields throughout the county,
he said.
He urged all prospective employ-
ers and employes to connect him at
the Gainesville office. Usual custom
is for the farmer to notify Mr. Edg-
ington of the number of cotton
pickers he desires, and then the
Texas State Employment service
secures the cotton pickers for the
farmer.
On the basis now at hand, it
will be unwise for any person to
move out of the state to pick cot-
ton, Mr. Edgington advised. The
Gainesville office will be glad to
supply workers with information
concerning condition of crops and
possibility of employment in all
sections of Texas, he concluded.
