REP. KOLIBA REPORTS
To the People of the 46th
District of Texas:
Hearing was begun Tuesday
pt 2:30 on HB 32, to claim for
the State all unclaimed property
It can locate, in banks, utility
deposits, Insurance and oil com-
panies and safe deposit boxes.
Bankers Joke that Daniel is go-
ing to take money away from
them to give back to them to
take up the State’s hot checks,
since this is aimed at getting $20
million this year to help retire
the present deficit. No hearing
has been set yet on any of the
new tax bills, nor has Seelingson
introduced his 1.5% sales tax
bill. He plans to extend the ex-
emption of food, feed, and ferti-
lizer to all sales of 4 bits or leas.
Some form of general sales tax
is used by 33 states; In 28 of
these states it is the largest sin-
gle revenue producer In the
state tax system. Personal in-
come taxes are imposed by 29
states, and in 9 of these it is the
top revenue producer for the
state. The 29 states mentioned
do not include New Hampshire
and Tennesse which impose li-
mited personal income taxes ap-
plying only to income from in-
vestments.
Virtually all committees have
pdopted the rules which lay all
bills over a week after public
hearing, so not many are getting
Letter to the Editor
Dear Mr. Editor:
The other day I noticed a Tex-
as poll which showed Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson ranking head
and shoulders above others pro-
minently mentioned on the na-
tional scene.
Since there was little play gi-
ven the poll by the newspapers
m the state, I am taking the li-
berty of calling this to your at-
tention. I feel that Lyndon
Johnson’s service to Texas and
the Nation has made him one of
the outstanding figures of our
generation.
What his niche in history will
be, I don’t know. This I believe:
His record of service is exceeded
only by few if any men in the
long history of our Republic.
Cordially,
Jack H. Bowen

Hi
YOUR
SINATOR
CULP KRUEGER
Dear Durwood and friends:
I was real happy to receive
letters this week from five
schools stating their desire to
come to Austin to see their State
Government at work.
This is indeed a wonderful ex-
perience for our school boys and
girls to come to Austin and see
end feel the importance of State
Government, because only by
having an interest in our govern-
ment can they become adults
who will continue to preserve it
the way we all want it, and that
is to keep it close to the people
and run it as economically as
possible.
Boy Scoot Women’s
Auxiliary Formed
The first Boy Scout Women’s
Auxiliary in the Live Oak Scout
District was formed in La
Grange on Feb. 19 by the Mo-
thers of members of Troop 203.
The Auxiliary was formed to
assist the troop in various camp-
ing and entertainment functions
and to put that extra ‘‘push’’ be-
hind the Scouting program to see
that every boy capable becomes
an Eagle Scout.
The following committees were
formed for the year 1959: En-
teralnment: Mrs Ray Barnes,
Mrs. Aubrey Voelkel, Mrs. W.
B. Winn; Visitation: (getting the
boys to and from various events),
Mrs. Earl Schultz, Mrs. Anton
Lehman, and Mrs. Edwin Kulha-
nek; Troop Fund: (to further the
progress on a Scout house and
other Scout Functions) Mrs.
Clarence Peters, Mrs. Raymond
Sanders and Mrs. Jack Camp-
bell; Uniform exchange: (to
240 bills have been introduced i help in obtaining used uniforms
in the Senate thus far, each hav-
ing been sent to a committee
where each will be gone into de-
tail before it is sent to the Se-
nate for further consideration.
This week I sat in 18 commit-
tees and considered some 55 dif-
ferent bills dealing with every-
thing from child desertion to
confirmation of regents of The
University of Texas and A & M.
Much work was done.
I believe agreement has been
reached on Senate Bill 38, having
to do with the brucellosis con-
trol program. House Bill 66, the
hog cholera virus bill, passed the
Senate this week.
The Finance Committee heard
14 state departments, from Hos-
pitals and Special Schools to the
Board of Pardons and Paroles
and the Blind Commission, go-
ing over in detail their budget
requirements.
As you know, Texas is on a
pay-as-you-go basis as required
in the Constitution; consequent-
ly, none of these budgets can be
finally approved until the Comp-
troller certifies that enough mo-
ney is available to pay the cost.
We in the Senate will not really
know what our money situation
will be until the House has pass-
ed to us it’s decision with ref-
erence to our tax situation.
Mail has been pouring in, and
I an) expecting a good represen-
tation here for the hearing on
Senate Bill 11, which calls for
an increase in the truck load
limit, on March 3 at 2:00 p. m.
At your service — always!
Sincerely yours,
Culp Krueger
