», KAYTftN bill
FOR SALES} T'AX
AUSTIN, April 19.—Hopes for en-
actment of a sales tax bill at this
session of the legislature were be-
lieved dead late Wednesday after the
house committee on revenue and tax-
ation voted unfavorably on the Kay-
ton bill, last of four proposals for
obtaining state revenue by levies on
sales.
One slight chance that the whole
house would have an opportunity to
pass on the Kayton proposal, which
would levy a 2 per cent tax on retail
sales with food exempted, was seen
in the announcement of Representa-
tive W. E. Pope of Corpus Christi,
that he would bring in a minority
report favoring enactment of the bill.
The Kayton measure was believed
by advocates of the sales tax to have
had better chances than three other
bills proposing this method of rais-
ing revenue because of its exemption
of food and limitation to retail sales,
avoiding the pyramiding feature
found objectionable in some of the
other measures and the further pro*
vision that the ad valorem tax be
reduced the amount realized from the
sales tax and that revenues be di-
vided by the state with the counties
and cities where collected.
The bill was voted down 9 to 8
promptly after the committee met,
there being no pleas for or against it.
Luckies Please!

BETTER FOOD FOR LESS
AUSTIN, April 19.—The house of
the Texas legislature today engros-
sed a resolution proposing to amend
the state constitution so as to per-
mit the legislature to exempt from
taxation, for a period of 10 years,
manufacturing concerns fabricating
raw wool, cotton or mohair.
Sponsors of the amendment said
they believed relieving this type of
manufacturing concerns of taxation
would cause the establishment of
many plants in Texas to process the
state’s raw products. They pointed
out that a similar exemption in North
Carolina had resulted in the location
in that state of numerous textile mills
to handle cotton.
Argument was made that location
of the plants in Texas would increase
Texas payrolls and, at the same time,
would result in decreased prices for
finished products. A major portion
of the cotton, wool and mohair grown
in Texas is laoncatea m tne east.
One of the main advantages of locat-
ing plants in Texas would be elimina-
tion of freight charges incurred in
shipping the raw products to the east
and in transporting the finished pro-
ducts back to Texas for sale, it was
argued.
The resolution, however, failed to
receive enough votes to submit the
proposed amendment to the people.
It received only 72 affirmative votes,
whereas 100 are necessary for sub-
mission.
TELEPHONE RATE IN
WACO ORDERED CUT
WACO, April 19.—The city com-
mission last night ordered the South-
western Bell Telephone local rates re-
duced from $2.75 to $2.35 monthly
for a residence, climaxing eight
months of public heatings.
The business rate was ordered low-
ered from $2.35 to $2. Telephone
company officials said they did not
know what their next move would
be but many persons anticipated they
would seek an injunction restraining
the city from enforcing the new rates,
which were made effective immedi-
ately.

HOUSE SLASHES
PAY AT A. & M.
AUSTIN, April 20.—The economy
bloc held its ground in the house of
the Texas legislature Wednesday as
the house considered the educational
appropriations bill.
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical
college was the only institution whose
appropriation was considered, but the
economists whittled vigorously at the
already reduced allotments approved
by the house committee. The commit-
tee had made general reductions in
salaries of 26 per cent, but the house
overrode the recommendations and in-
creased the reduction to about 40 per
cent in many instances.
The biggest contest occurred when
an amendment was offered to strike
out the appropriation to pay Matty
Bell, head of the physical education
department and head football coach.
The bill provided that $2700 of Bell’s
salary be paid out of state funds,
with the remainder to be paid out of
local funds. The item was struck I
out, 58 to 55.
Farmer members of the house ob-
jected to making any appropriation
out of the state treasury to pay for
Bell’s or “any other football coach’s
salary,” although many expressed a
willingness that he be paid any
amount of the gate receipts of foot-
ball games if the college wanted to
pay him that much.
Representative F. A. Rogers of
Celests observed that he had learned
something about coachs’ salaries that
he didn’t know before, namely, that
a part of their salary was paid from
state funds.
Salary Reduced.
“I never knew the people who paid
taxes were paying for such foolish-
ness as this,” Rogers stated. “There
would be 10,000 farmers down here
tomorrow, asking the legislature to
adjourn if they knew we were spend-
ing their hard-earned tax money on
such stuff as this.”
The whole question of college ath-
letics, particularly intercollegiate foot-
ball, was brought into the discussion,
with many contending it ought to be
abolished entirely on the theory that
the students at the college should ob-
tain their exercise “on the business
end of a plow.”
Although Bell's salary was reduc-
ed, the salaries of all but one of his
associates was continued. The house
struck out an appropriation of $1350
each year for a physical education
instructor.
Only one appropriation was in-
creased. It was an item of $1200 for
labor at the Spur experiment,_sta-
tion, which was increased to $1500.
The salaries of all deans were re-
duced to the level of $4000, while the
salaries of professors and heads of
depai’tments was lowered to $3000.
The salary of Dr. T. O. Walton,
president of the college, was cut to
$6000. Dr. Walton receives $9000 an-
nually at this time.
FREDERICKSBURG
VOTES TO REMOVE
ITS CORPORATION
FREDERICKSBURG, April 19.—
Fredericksburg, with a population of
almost 4500, is “just a big wide spot
in the road” as far as organized city
government is concerned, following
the election Tuesday in which citi-
zens voted to disincorporate the city.
But 721 votes were cast, and of
these 385 decided to annul the char-
ter and 336 to maintain it.
This vote does away with the muni-
cipality created in 1928 after a stren-
uous political fight. The validity of
the incorporation was attacked from
the start by the opponents of the
move. They charged gerrymandering
of the boundary line so as to take in
territory favorable to incorporation
and leave out residents opposed to
the move.
The suit was twice carried to the
state supreme court but was decided
in favor of the incorporators. The
successful election in 1928 was the
fourth attempt to incorporate since
the town was founded in 1846.
County Judge Usener is to canvass
the vote and declare the results offi-
cially, after which District Judge La-
mar Thaxton will appoint a receiv-
er. Mayor H. A. Reis said the re-
ceiver will have to collect approxi-
mately $15,000 in delinquent taxes
and penalties.
twelve Federal reserve banks were
in Washington yesterday, consulting
with the secretary of the treasury,
indicates that an important change
in fiancial policy is impending.
Premier MacDonald and ex-Pre-
mier Herriot, now on the high seas,
will surely gasp when they hear the
financial news from Washington.
MORGAN PRAISES ROOSEVELT
GOLD EMBARGO POLICY
OFF THE GOLD STANDARD
(Dallas News)
The government of the United
States has definitely decided not to
permit the further exportation of
gold and hence not to support the
dollar in foreign markets. This pol-
icy finally takes the United States
off the gold standard and embarks
the nation on a policy of controlled
inflation. The intention is thereby
to raise commodity prices in the do-
mestic markets and to stimulate ex-
port trade from the United States
to other countries. The move will
also help to bring about later some
international arrangement for a
world-wide return to a gold basis.
It is reported by the United Press
that, in order to be able to regulate
the inflationary process, the president
will ask congress to grant him wide
discretionary authority to regulate
the value, of United States^ currency.
This is important, if true, and trebly
important if congress grants the
power.
The fact that the governors of the
NEW YORK, April 19.—J. P. Mor-
gan, in one of his rare public state-
ments, Wednesday indoi-sed Px-esi-
dent Roosevelt’s action in suspending
gold expox-ts.
“I welcome the reported action of
the pi-esident,” he said in a written
statement* “and the seci*etai-y of the
treasury, in placing an embargo on
gold expoi-ts.
“It had become evident that the
effoi't to maintain the exchange, val-
ue of the dollar at a premium as
against depreciated foreign curren-
cies was having a deflationary effect
upon ali-eady severely deflated Amer-
ican prices and wages and employ-
ment.
“It seems to me clear that the way
out of the depression is to combat
and overcome the deflationary forces.
Therefore, I regard the action now
taken as being the best possible
course under existing circumstances.”
It was the first public statement
issued by the traditionally reticent
head of the house of Morgan since
his statement in London in Septem-
ber, 1931, when he described the Brit-
ish suspension of gold payments at
that time as constructive, under the
circumstances.
Mr. Morgan, smiling, distributed
copies of his statement to reporters
in the lobby of the main floor of the
Morgan banking house, across the
street from the stock exchange. He
declined to amplify the statement in
any way.

The American Indians believ-
ed that strawberries were creat-
ed by the Great Spirit in a final
effort to tempt the first woman
to stay with her husband.
The stoi-y goes that the first
woman was returning to her
own home in the land above,
and had passed all other fruit
creations with disdain. But
when she saw the newly-created
sti-awberries, growing in lusci-
ous clusters beside her path,
her first thought was that her
husband would like them. •
She stopped and gathered
some for him, and a reconcilia-
tion took place.
