vote count was made the people voted to
keep the higher tax rate because they
didn't want to give up some vital
services the city offered with the
present tax rate.
We could do the same thing here. . .
vote to lower county and school taxes.
However, few of our people want to give
up parts of the school program. . .
likewise they don’t want to give up
graded country roads and a lot of other
things that cost money in each budget.
It is true that we could give up the
government programs that come
through the school system. However,
these programs are not financed
through local tax money. . . but through
federal tax money.
AT THE PRESS convention in Dallas
U. S. Senator Lloyd Bentsen spoke at
our noon luncheon. The Senator was
concerned about a recent tendency in
the U. S. to turn on Presidents "with a
vengeance". . . and said that Ameri-
cans must work in a bipartisan spirit to
help President Reagan succeed.
Bentsen added.
"1 am a Democrat and proud of it.
President-elect Reagan is a Republican.
But first and foremost we are all
Americans and I can tell you—without
the slightest tinge of disloyalty to my
party—that I have never been more
anxious for a President to succeed or
more determined to work in a bipartisan
way to help insure that success.”
"Like all of you here today, 1 have
great faith in our country, our people
and our democratic institutions, some of
which have been sorely tested in recent
years.”
"I happen to believe that in this
democracy of ours we get our Presi-
dents one at a time and all of
us—regardless of party or political
outlook—have vested interest in their
success.”
"Recently, however, we have seen an
alarming tendency to give our Presi-
dents a brief honeymoon and then turn
on them with a vengeance when they
fail to resolve to everyone's satisfaction
some of the most complex and difficult
problems in the world. Some observers
have even come to doubt whether we
will see two-term Presidents in the
future.”
"On Tuesday, when we install a new
administration swept into office with a
mandate for change. I sincerely hope
that we can set aside the differences of
the past. I hope we can work together to
rebuild the unity and sense of common
destiny that is the true strength of
America."
THERE WAS A FELLOW in Floy-
dada who was all set to say "I told you
so". . . he had gone around town
year-after-year saying the Mackenzie
lake would never catch 50 feet of water.
Of course the lake finally received a
gully washer and the depth at the dam
reached a little over 100 feet.
There are many people who look
forward to and enjoy saying “I told you
so".
There was once a farmer who had
such a fear of tornadoes that he built the
strongest storm cellar in Texas. When-
ever there was a cloud in the sky, he
would take his growing family to the
safety of the cellar. Together over the
years, they sweated out cloud after
cloud in the cellar, and, of course,
nothing ever happened. As the kids
grew, they had less and less respect for
their dad's judgment.
He became aware that they were
laughing behind his back. that, actually,
he was becoming the laughing stock of
the whole community. The children
grew derisive, disobedient, and they
almost rebelled when he ordered them
into the cellar as another cloud passed
over. Yet. his phobia about tornadoes
was overwhelming, so he continued to
make them go to the cellar with him.
One day after the family had been in
the shelter for more than two hours, he
stuck his head out the door to see
whether it was safe to go outside. He
looked to the west: the barn was
demolished. He looked to the south: the
windmill was tipped over, the tank on
the ground and the water spilled. He
looked to the east: a big tree balanced
across the crushed top of the family car.
Then he looked to the north where the
house was supposed to be: there was no
house anywhere to be seen.
Turning back to his family, he
grinned and exclaimed. "By golly, this
is more like it!"
Grandparents:
Here's a chance to make your
children & grandchildren happy!

WE HOPE AND PRAY by the time
The Herald hits the street, the hostages
are on their way home. We just knew
they would be released on Sunday. . .
then Monday. Tuesday morning, some
of the blame had been placed on U. S.
bankers for the delay.
Our experience with bankers is that
they like to double check several times
before they let any money out of the
bank.
Fact is. our four Swisher banks would
have to strain pretty good to come up
with the nine billion dollars needed in
the hostage trade. . . might take ’em a
week or two to get it together.
WE WERE ABLE to get all the stock
show results in except the Saturday
morning Tulia show. The results were
not available until after press time.
We'll publish them next week.

Miller's statement:
"Mr. Pollard, and members of the
Governing Board of the Tulia Indepen-
dent School District, the "Citizens for
Tax Relief Committee is presenting to
you tonight for your consideration and
necessary action, a petition containing
approximately 820 signatures of con-
cerned Tax Payers, asking for an
election to determine whether or not to
reduce the established tax rate of $1.18
to $1.08 per hundred dollar evaluation.
The rate of $1.18 w as established and
is applicable to the school year 1980-81
and is being collected on that basis now.
We would like to point out here that the
rate for the school year 1979-80 of $1.10
per hundred dollar evaluation and the
amount of revenue generated from it. is
equivalent to 86.6 cents per hundred
dollar evaluation under the new ap-
praisal of property for tax purposes.
This represents an increase of 31.4c per
hundred dollars in tax revenue over last
year. We are requesting for only a 10c
cut in the rate, effective January 1,
1981. applicable to the school year
1981-82.
In dollars and cents, the cut would
call for a cut in the budget of about
$104,000.00 Now. considering the fact
that the budget for the 1980-81 school
year under-estimated the earnings and
temporary deposits of about $42.0<X).00,
based on the fact that $75,000.00
earnings was paid the school for the
year ending August 31. 1980. that
would reduce the $104.(XX) cut in the
budget to about $66,000.00
This committee hereby recommends
that:
I) If the Governing Board of the
School District does not see Tit to reduce
the tax rate by common consent, an
election should be called to determine
whether or not to lower the established
rate of $1.18 per hundred dollar
evaluation to $1.08 per hundred dollar
evaluation.
It is necessary that the governing
body determine whether or not the
petition is valid and pass a resolution
stating its findings. The customary and
accepted time limit for this action is 20
days from the date the petition is
submitted. If action is not taken, the
THURSDAY. JANUARY 22, 1981
petition will be treated as if it had been
found valid.
2) The Governing Body conduct a
thorough examination of the present
budget expenditures for the purpose of
eliminating all unnecessary and non-
reoccurring costs. Special attention
should be directed toward fazing out the
national oriented and mandated pro-
grams and the administration of them.
It is the opinion of this community that
their programs do not serve the best
interest of our committee in general,
but are, in fact, a hindrance to the
progress and advancement of the
teaching methods of the American way
of life as we know it."
