General Land Office
bigger budget is asked by the
General Land Office and Vet-
erans Land Board to assure
the state’s realizing full value
from the resources of state-

A two-year budget of $3,042,-

and a geological director to ex

Altogether, 29 new land office
employes are being asked.
Land Office claims that for

past 22 years, $90.18 has been
returned to the state treasury
in revenue.
Agriculture — Complexities

This compares with a $1,930,-
966 appropriation for the pres-
ent period.
White said the “chemical
revolution” in agriculture to-
day puts heavy responsibilities
on his department. He also
asked for more equipment and
more salaries for personnel to
check weights and measures.
Highways — State Highway
Department is asking for a two-
year allocation of $698,600,000.
Of this, $348,300,000 would
be for the 1961-62 period;
$350,300,000 for the 1962-63
period. This compares with
$337,000,000 spent by the
Highway Department in 1959.
Most of the highway revenue
comes from special earmarked
sources, such as the gasoline
tax, license fees, etc. Depart- 1
ment is asking $600,000 from <

Houston State Teachers College,
have told the Commission on
Higher Education they need
more money.
Expected enrollment increas-
es, need for higher faculty
salaries and need to lower the
l- student-teacher ratio were cited
as reasons for the requests.
East Texas is asking $2,446,-
555 for the first year, $2,547,-
125 for the second year of the
1961-63 period. This compares
with a present annual budget of
$1,676,424.
Stephen F. Austin asks $2,-
063,719 the first year, $2,048,*
603 the second, compared to the
present $1,244,370 a year.
Sam Houston wants $2,970,-
261 the first year, $2,992,190
the second. Present annual
spending is $2,040,677.
These requests, along with
all tho-<- from state-supported
two-year period. ’’“Hcges and universities, will be
studied and screened by the
Higher Education Commission
before a recommendation is pre-
sented to legislative and execu-
tive budget officials.
Where to get it — With new
spending requests piling up, the
search for new money-making
plans is ranging far und wide.
Four broad-based tax plans
are being considered by tax
hunting sub-committee of the
Governor’s State Finance Ad-
visory Commission.
They are: (1) a payroll tax,
paid half by employers, half by
employes. (2) a utilities cus-
tomers tax adding a percentage
to all utility bills, (3) a busi-
ness activities tax which would
combine some of the features
of payroll, gross receipts and
corporate income taxes and (4)
a transfer which would be simi-
lar to a sales tax.
Other ideas suggested to the

Austin, Texas — About a
dozen state agencies thus far
have presented their budget re-
quests for the 1961-53 bien-
nium.
As yet, none has failed to
ask for more money than it’s
presently getting.
Many agencies cite Texas'
growing population as justifica-
tion for expansion. They say,
in effect, that they are in the
I same position as the housewife
who has to put another potato
in the pot to set another place
nt the table.
Others seek to woo state
funds with a “bread east upon
the waters” approach. They con-
tend that money spent on de-
veloping the state's resources
will come back multiplied in
the form of increased state
revenue.
Almost al) emphasize the dif-
ficulties of luring and holding
highly trained personel at pres-
ent state salaries. Some say,
too, that they’ve been working
with a too-short stick for years
and need some “keep up with
the times” improvements.
Budget proposals are present-
ly being studied by the Legis-
lative Budget Board and the
Governor’s budget staff. Each
will make recommendations, and
the final decision will be made
next year by the Legislature.
With a money-short, tax-
fighting session ahead, it won’t
be easy for anyone.
These budget requests have
been added to those already
under study:
State Parks — An investment
insta te parks is an investment
in the Texas tourist industry
and a potentially rich source of
additional funds for the state
treasury.
This is the theme of the State
Parks Board in asking for a
$2,000,000 appropriation for the
next two years. This is almost
double the present spending
level.
Of this million-dollar-a-year
appropriation, the Board pro-
poses to use $700,000 a year
for improvements, $300,000 a
year for administration.
Texas, says parks director
Bill Collins, spends less on its
state parks than Rhode Island.
