A bill to provide additional lobby

nor enemies to a hearing before

Pro and con views were present-

Citizens for Fair Taxation, an

of Corpus Christi which would give
teachers a $600 a year raise this
year, $200 more in 1963 and $200

ent school fund, a revised fran-
chise tax and a bookkeeping trans-
fer.
Also turned down were proposals
for a 4 per cent corporate income
tax by Rep. Bob Eckhardt of Hous-
ton and a 1 per cent general sales
tax by Rep. Tom Andrews of
Aransas Pass.
Rep. Charles Ballman of Borger,
chairman of revenue and taxation,
was pushing for a package bill
that closely tracked Gov. Price
Daniel’s recommendations at the
beginning of the. session. It differ-
' ed from the committee-written
package chiefly in that it included
a Pennsylvania-type sales tax, ap-
plying only to items listed in the
bill.
Despite the House problems, an
August 8 finish may still be pos-
sible. Senate, generally, is swifter
and more nearly of one mind on
money matters. It agreed on a
tax bill in the regular session in
approximately one-third the time
spent by the House.
Hardest part is getting agree-
ment on one plan from both House
and Senate—and finally—from the
governor.

• Fund Bill Progresses . . .
House has given second reading
approval to a bill appropriating
$2,527,000,000 for the next two
years.
It is slightly higher than the bill
passed earlier by the Senate, and
eventually differences will have to
be worked out by a conference
committee of the two houses.
