ability, the new models are offered with a host of power plants, including two all-new 35t-

State Senator David Ratliff,
Stamford, Texas, who represents
the 21 counties in the 24th Sen-
atorial District, which includes
this county, said today in Aus
tin where he is now at work
during the current session, that
“I have voted every time for an
increase, in the tax on cigar
etteS, beer, wine, whiskey and
other luxury and unnecessary
items, as well as a tax on the
current rash of filthy movies
now being shown in our movie
houses, but that so far, each
time the senate passes such
legislation, it is killed by some
of the house members.” House
members of the 24th district,
however, have continued to sup-
port beer, cigarette, wine and
whiskey taxes _ the same as
Senator Ratljff.
“I am not the least bit
ashamed of, my voting record
but rather, I am proud of it. I
would like also to say that I
have not missed a vote during
the current sessions,” Ratliff
stated.
