run-cff race
platform in
AUSTIN, Texas.—"I want the
people of Texas to know there
are certain types of tax>'s to which
I am opposed, both personally and
as shown by my record of 12
years in the senate." Allan Shivers,
who led his runoff opponent in
the lieutenant governor's race by
approximately 100.000 vote- in the
first primary, said here this week.
"I oppose a general sales tax.
and always have, because I feel
that it would place undue burdens
on the people. I oppose a state
income tax. because that field is
pre-emptied by the Federal Gov-
ernment."
"If any additional taxes do be-
come necessary, and 1 don't think
they will in the near future, the
burden should be spread on as
broad a tax paying base as is
possible," he continued.
"1 have always considered my-
self a conservative, l>oth in ex-
penditures and in taxation, and on
many occasions have opposed ap
propriations of the taxpayers mon-
ey because 1 thought the expendi-
ture was unwise and unnecessary.
1 have also opposed many tax bills
because 1 thought they were levied
on the wrong principle or that
they were unnecessary."
"I have had to work hard all
my life and that is probably the
reason that 1 am conservative
about the expenditure of tax mon-
ey. I feel the same way about
expending my own funds."
