Auditor Presents Revenue
Plan to Realtors; Backs
Home Rule
Members of the Real Estate
Board today had under considera-
tion a new tax plan designed to
relieve real estate’' or a large part
of the burden it now bears.
The plan was suggested to the
realtors yesterday by Y. Q. Mc-
Cammon of McCammon, Morris
and Pickens, one of the three
firms which made an outside au-
dit of county affairs.
Mr. McCammon also urged
adoption of the Home- Rule
amendment Aug. 26 as, a means
of reducing local taxes "at least
25 per cent."
Mr. McCammon further urged
that in event the home rule
amendment was not adopted, real-
tors study the recommendations
contained in outside audit reports,
with the view of asking adoption
of “such of these recommenda-
tions as you may consider worth-
while.” ,
Real property would continue
as the basis of taxation under Mr.
McCammon's tax plan, but credit
would be given for payments
made on an income tax, which he
urged as a supplement to the
present tax on real estate.
Income Tax Credit
“The burden on the taxpayers
as a whole need not be increased
by the enactment of an income
tax law,” he said.
"For the first year,” he said in
outlining details of his plan, "fix
the present ad valorem rate on
the total assessable property; fix
a net income tax rate on the net
income of individuals and cor-
porations, and provide that all
collections of income tax during
this first year would be applied
against the amount to be raised
from ad valorem taxation for the
subsequent year.
“Let the measure contain a
provision that the total to be
raised by both income tax and ad
valorem tax could not exceed the
present ad valorem rate per $100
value.
“Then further provide that any
taxpayer in preparing his income
tax return for any year would re-
ceive credit against the tax due
thereunder for the amount of ad
valorem tax paid to the state dur-
ing the said year."

Rule amendment, Mr. McCammon

FARMERS SIGN
COTTON SLASH
200 More Needed in That
Section; Majority
Taking Options
County Agent M. C. Counts to-
day received word from A. C.
Watson, community chairman,
that 40 farmers around Mansfield
had signed cotton acreage reduc-
tion contracts and that 200 more
contracts were needed in that
section.
At three meetings held yester-
day, at Mansfield, Everman and
Crowley, 110 farmers signed
agreements, subjects to contracts,
to destroy 2,628 of 6,899 acres of
cotton now in cultivation.
The reduction rate accepted by
the farmers yesterday averaged
38.1 per cent, according to L. W.
Stasney, assistant, county agent.
Majority Take Options.
The majority of the farmers are
accepting the option contracts in
preference to the all - cash plan.
This provides for the receipt this
summer ‘of from $6 to $12 per
acre for the land retired from
cotton, depending on the ordinary
yield of the land.
The option plan allows an op-
tion at 6 cents per pound on as
many bales of government-owned
cotton as the acreage retired
would, under ordinary conditions,
produce.

Policeman Who Handles
Tough Men, ‘Whipped’
by Little Wasp
Policeman H. A. McClanahan
can handle tough men and drive
the speedy police- emergency car,
but when it comes to fighting a
wasp in his own car—well, that’s
a different story.
Returning from a visit at Jacks-
boro yesterday Officer McClana-
han found a wasp in his car. He
tried to swat the insect before
stopping his car and while so
doing, ran off the highway and
into a fence. Mrs. McClanahan
and a daughter, Mary, 8, suf-
fered bruises. They were treated
at a hospital. " ’ $

Thieves Cut Screen and Take
Purses of Two Visitors
Thieves last night cut the
screen on a window at the Wom-
an's Club and took two purses
which had been left in the win-
dow.
One, belonging to Miss Maggie
Overstreet, 602 West Broadway,
contained $7 and some papers.
The other, belonging to Miss
Martha Sparks, 601 Broadway,
contained $1. Police found Miss
Overstreet’s purse in a vacant lot
on Tucker Street behind the club.
The money was gone but the pa-
pers were recovered. ,

The Park Board’s controversy
with the City Council over pay-
ment of bond debt requirements
was temporarily quieted yester-
day when the group voted to
“contribute to the Welfare De-
partment with funds that may be
unspent at the end of the fiscal
year. Sept. 30." .. .
At the same time, the board
authorized a $5,000 payment to
“welfare relief," the second pay-
ment it has voted this year.
The Council, in this year’s bud-
get, provided that the board pay
$15,481 on its $44,000 bond debt
requirements. Instead, the board
agreed to contribute $10,000 to
the welfare fund, after which the
Council requested that the addi-
tional $5,481 be paid.
Councilmen pointed out that
since all city funds go into one
pool, the board’s payments can be
used to pay its bond debts.
Yesterday’s action was recom-
mended by President Morris E.
Berney, who previously had made
