What kind of people are we anvwav? Are we honest, law-abiding citizens’
Or are there more accurate ways to describe us’ is it really our purpose to build
better schools and a better Brownwood" or are our nice new buildings simply
going to hide white-washed walls and whited sepulchers?
It seems to me that it’s time to talk about things as they are: really and
truly.

What would vou tell them about Constitutions generally" Would you tell
- them they are real and true? or just a bunch of evewash that no one pavs any
attention to" In the light of the above constitutional provision how would you
explain the assessment you have placed on mv property"
What would vou tell them about personal property? Would you tell them
that every taxpaver in the Brownwood School District makes a liar out of him-
self (if not a perjurer) every time he renders his property?
Oh, I beg your pardon if I’ve made a mistake. Perhaps you rendered your
propertv in accordance with the law. T' •• Texas Statutes really are quite plain
and easy to read. The pertinent part of Article 7174 of the Revised Civil Stat-
utes of Texas provides:
■'Personal property of every description shall be valued at its true and full
value in money.

Better Schools for a Better Brounw, d is ’he slogan vou are using in your
current campaign for voting another $2,000.00 1 in sch noltax n .
It’s hard to quarrel with such a slogan. It wou i be an odd person indeed
who did not want both better schools and a better Brownwood
But it seemkto me the tire has come to ask whether there aren t some
things other tha monev that are important to schools as well as communities
