It is often stated that one ad-
vantage of separating the Abilene
school district from the municipal-
ity would be that it would allow
the school district to annex addi-
tional territory to gain property
valuations and tax income.
* * *
The inference is that this is
something the separated district
# could do that cannot be done by
a municipal district.
4 % *
The fact is that there is a state
law written specifically to empow-
er a city that is constituted an in-
dependent school district to an-
nex additional territory FOR
SCHOOL TAX PURPOSES ONLY.
• ••
It is undisputed under the Tex-
as law that a municipality such as
a Abilene that assesses and collects
/ school taxes for a municipal dis-
trict can levy as much as $2.50 for
purposes other than schools and
an additional $1.50 for schools—
a total maximum of $4. per $100
valuation of taxable property.
It also is a fact that valuations

of property for tax purposes can
be raised by either a city that is
a municipal school district or by
an independent district separated
from a city. Such an increase in
valuations can be made as readily
under one condition as under the
other.
These three ways of developing
more revenue for schools would
be the same under either condi-
tion.
As to the first method, mention-
ed above, there are six school
districts that adjoin the city lim-
its of Abilene. There are several
others whose boundanes reach
very near the city limits.

CORPUS CHRISTI, May 14.—'*'
—Three hundred Texas State
Guardsmen mobilized here today
on a voluntary basis to block roads
and keep non-resident children
and youths out of the city and
Nueces county, while Texas’ polio-
like sickness leaped nearly 500
miles from South Texas to the
Panhandle to strike three more
victims, one fatally.
Rockport, 30 mile* from
Corpus Christi along the Gulf
of Mexico, also declared a
quarantine, as did Kleiberg
county, which is a part of the
gigantic King ranch. Kleberg
and Nueces counties adjoin.
San Antonio, where the illness
first reached epidemic proportions,
had not ordered a quarantine but
public gatherings were banned
and amusement places closed.
The many, sprawling military in-
stallations in and near San Anto-
nio closed theaters and chapels
and halted social gatherings, a* did

Miners Ask
Control of
Payroll Levy
WASHINGTON, May 14.—Ori-
John L. Lewis today demanded ex-
clusive union administration of a
$70,000,000 miners’ welfare fund
which he proposes to raise through
a seven percent levy on payrolls.
The United Mine Workers’
president declared the fund, to be
paid exclusively by the operators,
would have to be granted before
the miners would negotiate "any
contract, now or later."
Lewis told reporters at a
news conference, after leaving
contract negotiating sessions,
that the seven percent levy
was “ultra-conservative' and
its receipts would be used for
these six purposes only:
Adequate and modern medi-
cal service; properly standard-
ised hospitalization; life and
health insurance at reasonable
rates; rehabilitation and train-
ing of disabled men; financial
aid in case of distress and
hardship; and—if any money
is left—for “cultural and edu-
cational work” among the mine

Allies Decree Destruction
Of Nazi Books, Memorials
BERLIN. May 14.—(PP)—A purge
of German fascist and militarist
literature, criticised in some Allied
quarters as "akin to the Nazi book
burnings," has been ordered by
the four-power Allied control
council.
Destruction of Nazi and German
military memorials of World War
I and II also was directed by the
council, in orders approved by its
coordinating committee. Many
monuments already have been
rased.

She added that the Americans
"fought this order st the start on
the argument that if people wanted
to retain banned books they would
find places to hide them. So we
insisted either on a law naming
specifically the material to be de-
stroyed or to leave all decisions
to the discretion of sone com-
menders The latter was agreed
upon.”
An American public relations
officer, announcing that the order
on literature would be published
May 20, disclosed some of its de-
tails in advance.
He said it provides for a purge
"to eradicate in all forms Fascist,
militarist and anti-democratic ideas

Owners of circulating libraries,

The order, reportedly spon-
sored by the French and hotly
debuted by the coordinating
committee, would require that
the banned books be surrender
ed within two months, with as
yet unspecified penalties pro-
vided for disobedience.
