others now seniors have completed the three years but are still in
FFA and have projects under the supervision of the vocational agricultural
teachers
The state pays 100 per cent of the salaries of the two agricultural
teachers so it feels that It has a right to specify minimum standards
for the physical department For four years the local schools have
been warned to provide minimum standards or else face the loss of
salaries for these two teachers Tho last time the school was warned
It was necessary to include in tho minutes of the school board that action
would be taken to remedy the building deficiencies In tho agricultural

rITH 75 PER CENT of county taxes already aid e are told
that about one third of our potential vote has paid a poll tax
And when have we ever faced a more critical election year0
Lest anyone assume that he wont need a poll tax to vote next year
may we hasten to explain that the move to abolish the poll tax if sue
cessful cannot possibly bear fruit by next year Texas Democrats are
merely seeking to get the proposal on the primary ballot next May
Even if a majority approves the abolition of the tax it will serve as
nothing more than a means of letting the Legislature know how the
people feel
It will then be up to the Legislature to submit the proposal to the
people in the form of a constitutional amendment
