Rep. W W. Glass Writes Report
People from areas over the en-
tire State of Texas came into Aus-
tin last Monday night for a hear-
ing on a measure, Senate Bill 24,
providing a raise in the base pay
of teachers from $2403 to $3000
per year. The hearing was before
the Education Committee of the
Senate, and there was hardly
standing room available for the
people in the Senate Chamber and
its gallery.
Cherokee County was well rep-
resented in the hearing. Among
those present were: Gerald Chap-
man and Miss Bill March of Rusk;
Mrs. George Allen of Jacksonville;
Paul Drawhorn -of Alto; Walter
K. Holliday and Hoy L. Burns of
Gallatin; Allen Burton, Rev. Walt-
man and Howard Wallace of Car-
lisle; also, Wilton Burns and Mrs.
Oleta Smith Gray, formerly of
Cherokee County.
The Senate Committee on Educ-
ation reported the Bill favorably,
but that is only the first step am-
ong several major ones required
before the measure can be enacted
into law. In fact, some of the other
hurdles are going to be more diff-
icult. As I told you in the letter
of last week, the struggle over the
teacher-pay increase is going to
be one of the most bitter in the
Legislature; for there is a strong
lobby here working against the
increase.
This lobby against the pay raise
for teachers is financed by wealthy
interests which are trying to hold
the Jine against an increase in
state expenditures, for these in-
terests do not want additional tax-
es. Of course, they are not merely
interested in keeping down teach-
er's salaries. They want to keep
down expenditures for other state
purposes.
An appreciable raise in old-age
assistance or pensions would call
for increased taxes, too; but the
people advocating increases in pen-
sions have no way of presenting
an organized front against the st-
rong lobby.
In securing a raise for the state
hospital employees, we are going
to have to fight to some extent
this strong lobby which is trying
to hold the line against increased
expenditures for state functions;
however, so far as I know, this
lobby is not making a direct fight
against a raise for the hospital
employees. They know that a raise
is obviously justified: besides, a
raise for all the hospital employ-
ees will amount to only a few mil-
lion dollars, a small amount of
the total stfcte expenditures.
I know that many of you have
read the article in the February
issue of the Readers Digest entitled
"Do You Know Your State's Sec-
ret Boss?" This article has a good
deal to say about the activities of
the lobbyist in Austin, and I hope
later to discuss lobbying in a let-
ter to the papers.
I am behind in my correspond-
ence, but am catching up; and I
will be able to soon answer all
of the letters I have from you.
Please keep on writing to me, for
I want your views on pending Leg-
islation. •
