Austin. — Dusty old tax bills
are being pulled out for discus-
sion now that Gov. Preston
Smith has vetoed the one-year
spending bill and called the Leg-
islature back into special session.
Governor Smith made it clear
that he expects the special ses-
sion to adopt spending proposals
for a full two years starting
Sept. 1, and to levy new taxes to
finance whatever is spent.
Tax bills must origirate in the
House and Speaker Gu- Muts-
cher says he believes the money-
can be found without rui-ing the
state sales tax. But. first he
wants to hear what the G >vernor
has to propose as a s aiive for
the money.
Smith has indicated *bat he
will recommend a program sub-
stantially different from what
he suggested last winter. But
he said he will not propose a
state income tax.
So far. legislative leaders have
not shown any intention of pass-
ing another one-year spending
hill and then going home wtihout
levying new taxes. Smith's eon-
tention that the tax bill will be
smaller if it i* passed
now in-
stead of waiting until
1970. ap-
patently won some stut

port.
