THE BARTLETT TRIBUNE
Bartlett Tcxno
AUSTIN Tex. First big
public debate over the Legis-
lature's spotlight issue sale of
liquor by the drink was
scheduled this week.
House Revenue and Taxation
Committee set Tuesday after-
noon hearing on the proposal to
legalize mixed drink sales under
five cents-a-shot tax stiff re-
tailers' fees and strict regula-
tion. One of this session's biggest
crowds was on hand for the
House Committee session. Dry
forces were lined up in depth
for opposition testimony. Citi-
zens Committee for Tourism
and the Regulated Sale of Mixed
Drinks announced formation of
a. key support group an advis-
ory board of 37.
Liquor legislation already has
been subject of these actions:
House passed a bill setting
10 a. m. - 9 p. m. hours (instead
of present 9 a. m. - 10 p. m.)
for liquor package stores and
ordering the stores to close
Christmas but permitting them
to remain open on primary and
general election days.
Representatives killed the
bill to permit private clubs in
areas voted "wet" for any pur-
pose (beer wine or whiskey
sales) to operate under the
"pool" instead of the old "lock-
er" system by which each mem-
ber must replenish his own sup-
ply. Bill allowing beer distribu-
tors to continue supplying legal
retailers although areas in
which warehouses are located
vote "dry" was signed into law
effective next August.
Rep. J. M. Simpson of Amaril-
lo introduced a bill to put in all
the strong enforcement measur-
a advocated in the liquor-by-the
-drink bill plus a $5000 annual
tax on private clubs but not to
legalize "liquor by the jigger."
It's being called the "jigger
without the liquortf bill.
Redistricting Study Begins-
All state representatives and
some of their constituents will
be called on for advice as to how
to draw new federal court-directed
state House and congress-
ional district boundaries.
Rep. Gus Mutscher of Bren-
liam chairman of House Dis
trict Committee said sub-committee
will conduct an intensive
four-week study in an effort to
produce bills acceptable to the
lawmakers which also meet the
court's one-man-one-vote yardstick.
Two principal congressional
apportionments heard by the
Committee were offered by Re-
publicans and liberal Democrats
at its first hearing. GOP-backed
measure would pit only one pair
of incumbent congressmen a-
gainst each other Reps. Gra-
ham Purcell of Wichita Falls
and Omar Burleson of Anson.
Bill backed by Reps. Jake
Johnson and R. L. Vale of San
Antonio would throw Cong. Ab-
raham Kazen of Laredo into the
same Rio Grande Valley District
with Cong. Eligio de la Garza of
Mission ; and Cong. John Dowdy
of Athens into the district with
Cong. Olin Teague of College
Station.
Tax Issue Near Showdown --
Optional one-per-cent city sales
tax measure was tentatively
passed by the Senate last week
after weathering filibuster at-
tack. It is expected ft pass after
one more filibuster this week.
Proposed tax package pick
ed up more opposition in House
Committee on Revenue and Tax-
ation hearing. Opponents of the
penny boost in gasoline tax
"which would channel more funds
into the farm-to-market pro
ject said the raise should be ac-
companied by a ceiling on FM
road building and a proportion-
al raise in diesel fuel used by
trucks. Committee sent to sub-
committee the section of the tax
bin by Rep. Ben Atwell of Dal-
las to stop the automatic $15-
. 000000-per- year appropriation;
to farm-to-market roads.
Good Roads Association in
alatahat FM outlays should be
hsld to about $70000000 a
year.
Meanwhile a bill to transfer
all the funds now being given
far new FM roads into projects
to improve city streets was in-
troduced. In other action on the tax
front House overwhelmingly
passed a resolution calling on
Congress to begin steps toward
constitutional change to rebate
five per cent of federal income
taxes collected to states. Mini-
mum of two-thirds of states will
have to join in request and
four-fifths must ratify any con-
stitutional change.
Tax Cut7- Sen. Wayne Con-
nally of Floresville and Reps.
Jnmes E. Nugent of Kerrville
and Ralph Wayne of Plainview
are backing a proposed consti-
tutional amendment to do away
with the state property tax
thus leaving it for use by the
cities counties and school dis
tricts.

OUR SOIL rtOWSTRBKUMS
CHEMICAL WEED CONTROL
By T. H. McBay
District cooperators and
owners are usincr morn pTiom.
icals for weed control than ever
oeiore. There are scvnrnl nrl-
yantages of controlling weeds
in a permnnent pasture by use
of chemical sprays. Weeds can
be killed closer to the ground
than by shredding. Weed and
brush killer mixtures not only
kills the weeds but also small
brush all in the same treat-
ment. One quart (one pound) of
low volatile 2-4-D per acre is
recommended for the control
of most brondleaf weeds. A
mixture of one pound of low
volatile 2-4-D and io pint of
concentrated 2-4-5-T "per acre
can be used for hard to kill
weeds and small brush. Ton to
twenty-five gallons of water
per acre should be used.
Annual weeds should be
sprayed when the weeds are
young and succulent; March
15 to April 15. In cotton areas
spray before cotton comes up.
Perennial weeds should be
sprayed when they are grow-
ing and the temperature is be-
tween 60 and 85 degrees for
best results. Do not spray when
the wind volocity is more than
10 miles per hour.
All chemical weed control
should bo in compliance with
state and county laws to pre-
vent damage to neighbors
plants.
For additional information
on chemical weed control con-
tact your local Soil Conservat-
ion Service or Little River-San

Where can you talk to God?
Surely on Easter and on
every Sunday of the year in-
your own church; for your
church is God's dwelling
place. But you can also talk
to God at all times ... in
every place ... at any hour
For God is always within
reach. You speak and God
hears you.
Pray this Easter. Pray joy-
fully from your heart and
the fullness thereof. For real
prayer is a devotion an act
of love. And there is no more
joyous experience in all the
world than loving God.
COME
Rejoice in Prayer
TO CHURCH THIS EASTER
