Economy And Business Methods
Needed More Than New Taxes
(joy. Jim Hogg said: "Next to th.. assassin'.* gun, the abuse of
tn0 taxing power breeds more distress among the people than any
other cause with which they have to contend."
According to a report of Comptroller Sheppard the state re-
venues and expenditures each increased more than sixty million dol-
lais in l'.i.Ui over tire figures of 1 H.'io fiscal year, expenditures jump-
ing from Jill,175,oOy in 1 to Slfl4e'l2.'{,41ty in lUIIU.
To meet this vast increase m expenditure^ taxes have b«*en
raised and new taxes levied until tin- farmer anil the small business
man an struggling undei th4. heaviest tax burden that they hav ■
evei known and have iust about reached the breaking point.
While much of these taxes are levied and i>ttid direct, the great-
est amount i* passed on to the consumer in what is generally term-
ed "hidden" taxes. According to The Taxpayers Digest there are
1 —C hidden taxes in a pan <>t shoes, UK hidden taxes on a pair of
o\ rails, 4' on a pound ot coffee, 1 >2 on the medicine you buy, M
on a loaf of biead and co <in everything else you buy.
Most ot us can remember when we could buy a loai of brea 1 for
cents foi which now we pay from 7 to u cents on account oi th?
hidden taxe*. On every gallon ol gasoline you buy yoi. pay to the
State t cents arid to the federal government 1 cent, every package
of cigaiettes you buy you pay 6 cents in taxes and so on down the
line.
Well, you say, what are we going to do about it? When a
goorf buaine-s man .set- his expenditures are exceeding his income
the first thing he does is cut expense- and then he reorganizes hi*
riudget and get - hack on a solid bu-mi ss ba-is. and that's xactly
what th Texas legislature must do.
i I ITINc. EXPENSES
In I'.'SM. tin- last session in which I -crved. when the departmen-
tal approiiiiation bills cami i • fore 'he house from committee^ the>
: • il a total of ? t/i,>s.">,!''.t2 arid w hen tha: legislature -ent tbo-
nl: down t the governor thev amounted to only $32,KU,l'.'l a total
..liiru of * 1 :;,it71 ,n7o \rii| we did not hurt any department. On
t ■ th hand, w gave the rural iiool two million dollar- moi
ir. ' e\ ad tin previous biettmun l«-id - appropriating SIJ'-O.OOo
to pay back salaiieg and other deficiencies.
It lhai legislature could -a\e thirteen million dollar* out ol
fort>-fi\« million, what could a rial, eo«nomi minded legislature
■ an out of SI li I.OWO.OOO now?
M \TE IS I \ R I ROM IIROR K
A not! piac< t<« get -one motu-y is from the funds now going
dtr ctly into special fund of nearlv 10" buteau* and commissions.
ITie Slate financial < ondition cannot Ik- judged by tn(- defic-
••• • v t: the gen« i al fund, tncause i nl\ about -<• pet cent ot the
State'- rereipts and exp.-ndita• e- go through this fund, thi remain-
'■t sii percent going rlirectlv into tIn Ittn fund, mentioned above.
Accoiding to a report just issued by Stat«- Treasurer Lockhart.
\ I funds actually -how a ash bala ct of S ">J .iis,'{,;t;if> as against 8
.•iicit oi outstanding unpaid obligation • of $">0,269,960, leaving
• ta; i a-h tialarn e n hand in all fund- of $21,4 I4..106 on the Slst day
of March. l'.'4<'
I • i eason for th« deficit in the tieneral Fund is that s'1 much
money ha> tw n divert- d from th.s fund 'T'1" these sjk-. ial funds
ti.at tb. innpts are irisuffu ent to meet th^"current obligations that
rr.u t be paid from the g. nrral fund.
I behfv,. that " is folly to k-'ep pouring increasing revenues into
t. i -e special fund- Why not reduct the number of hoards an«l
• mm *sions h\ eiiminatuvn and consolidation then turn all this mon
e\ through the regulai channels under a thoroughgoing system of
. sjioe ii.le anil fiscal supervision. If thi> were done now all de-
f.< its could in- paid and trie state would have a cash balanc? on hand
of over 21 million dollar* available fo: anv necessary purpose.
Hi i. is jusi one instanct ot what happtms: Last year the kg-
i - la;ur e di>< . vered a surplus of several million dollars in a fund
• .t• 11 oir.e!mi,, ago b\ divtrting one cent of the gasoline tax fon
tne purpose of paying bonds issued bv counties and expended for
con -1 ruction of designated highways during pa>t years before the
*tat. had adopted the poln v of building them They had a great
tune up there trying t<> decide what to do with this sutplus money -
wh ■ to g ve t to, and finally decided to distribute it to the various
counties under certain condition- Well, that wa«; not so bad, but
why did they not take that money and pay back that which they bor-
w.il to pay old age pensions, in place of making the old folks pay
it out of their irens' w*?
TH FY cnt'l.p HWF PAID THAT DEBT WITH THIS SUR-
IM.CS MONEY WD IT WOIT 1) NOT HAVE BEEN NECBSSARY
1'. CCT THE I : NSIONS ONE THIN DIME.
MILLION.S Dl E FROM DELINljl ENT TAXES
There is t p,e«ent due the State 'n round numlier about $28,-
-hhi.iiti0 in d. Iinquen: tascs. By the most conservative estimate, at
last one-half of these taxes are due from evader* who can and should
pa> if the proper collection methods were adopted. But no effort
i being made to collect it.
At this time something only about three billion dollars worth of
propi yty b being a^ essed f 'r n«lv:ilorum t:ixe« and the tangible phy-
cal weii'th in the state is certainly more than 15 billion dollars,
• n r.. justification in putting the load on 20 per cent of th"
propeit\ and letting SO tier cent escape While I am in favor of
.wioii-.hiiiK ail tne property taxes tor state purposes, until that can
!- ne I think that the tax la vs should be so strengthened to get
' the taxable property on the tax rolls which, if done, would alone
increase the state'* income some tu or !S0 million dollars.
SI MMINt; IT M I I P
With liie saving oi M-veial million dollars by reducing the
State's expenses in appropriation hills.
By using the .".(1 million dollar* surplus now in the special funds.
Bv collecting U million dollars from delinquent taxes
B\ getting the 12 billion d-dlars worth of property now escap-
ing taxation on the Lax rolls.
1 don't think that it would In- neces«arv t > levy any new taxes ' >
I ay nl! the outstanding indebtedness and obligations and put the
tate on a cash oav-as-you-go basis.
Of course no one expects that this could be accomplished right
off the bat, but it can be done It will take time and hard work
an(j lots of scrapping by r< preventatives who think more of the
welfare of the state and the people than they do of building up t >!

THE OLD VCE PENSIONS
Tb,. social security program h a mandate of the peonle to pro-
side funds for the payment of assistance to needy people over 6">
year,-, of age. to match fund- for the teacher* etinment program
and to care for the indigent children and th blind ;lnd 1 am unal-
terably in favor of paying it in full. It is of such vast importance
that it should not be made to wait until we can put the economy
program into foice, p< nding which, I ant in favor of levying some
kind of a tax to provide amide funds for tin purpose. Personally I
favor ;• tax ori the natuml ''esources that are now being taken out
of Texas tax free, but if wi fail in thi- 1 am willing •" go d,.w
the line with anv governor whom the pcopl. might elect 100 pencil
in any reasonable program that will pi vide ample funds to n
the-e obligations in full and forever stop making a political football
.•ut of this very <erinus and inost important issue of caring for the
old and needy. And I will go further than that 1 will introduce a
resolution at the opening of the session to raise the present state
limit of SlfvOO to $20.00 to be matched by th" federal government as
provided in the federal law having gone into effect the first of the
>ear, which would make the ""possible total $40.00 per month instead
of $110.00 as at ■♦resent.
Next week I will write more about the old age pensions and the
social security prog am.

Plans are on foot to organize and
get under way the soft ball season
in Bastrop.
Nothing offers more clean, whole*
some entertainment for less money
than our soft ball games do every
year. Hut the season closed pre-
maturely last year, for lack of sup-
port from the town people.
Arrangements are being made thi.*.
year, according to Clyde Reynolds, to
contact the smaller towns and com-
munities and arrange games with
them. Paige, Oak Hill, and Cedar
Creek have already been challenged.
When these communities tak an In.
terest in the games, and come into
Bastrop to see them, the town will
benefit, as well as the soft ball or-
ganizations.
Lets get in behind the boys this
year, and when the visiting teams
and their supporters come to town,
lets make them feel at home, anil
let them know that we want them
and are truly glad to see them.
Bastrop people are overlooking a
good thing when they overlook a goo.i
soft ball game!
REPRESENTS
BASTROP AT
FESTIVAL
We were privileged Sunday to
witness a sight that has not been seen
through this section for 75 years, and
which will not be seen here again un-
til: il 1004 the annular, or ring,
eclipse of the sun, caused by thu
moon sweeping obliquely across the-
face of the sun gradually changing"
the sun into a brilliant crescent and
then into a blazing corona, and fin-
ally back through a crescent into its
normal disc-like shape.
Mnst people in the 160-mile wide
strip across the state from Del Rio t*
Beaumont including practically every
one in Bastrop, watched the event
with interest through smoked glas^,
over-developed negatives, or sun
glasses. As the moon moved across,
the face of the sun. the air t.ecame
noticeably coble-, and at ir ik, an
eerie, opalescent l'ght. f ■very-
thing an odd. unreal app«. . ..ire. Trm
birds twittered and fluttered about in
the trees, n a vague, uneasy manner,
and the animals were restless and dis-
turbed. Without the knowledge that
science ha.< placed within our grasp,
w • might have expected, in trembl-
'ng, awful anticipation, the Judg-
ment Day!
Hut, thanks to the astonishing ac-
curacy with which astonomers make
such predictions, we knew exactly
what to expect and when and where
to expect it. And we found the phen-
omenon a very interesting onel
