Amendment Shifts
County Tax Funds
An amendment of general in-
terest to every voter will be one
of the questions which the citi-
zenship will decide in the Gen-
eral Election Nov. 7, relative to
county tax bonds.
Calling attention to the amend-
ment County Judge Delas Reeves
cites it as allowing a more husi-
ness-like system in handling
county tax funds.
The voters will have an op-
portunity to adopt H.IR 18,
which authorizes commissioners
courts in various counties to
shift the allocation of county
funds to separate purposes.
Under the constitution then
adopted anil as it now exists com-
missioners courts can levy 25
cents for the general fund, 15
cents for the jury fund, 15 cents
for the road and bridge fund, 25
cents for building and perman-
ent improvement fund making a
total of SO cents for these pur-
poses which may be levied by a
court.
Nolan county's funds wltli
a rate of IM) cents are set up
as follows: Jury .03, road and
bridge .15, general .25, per-
manent improvement .(Mi,
courthouse bonds sinking
.IK), highway bond sinking
.(12, jail sinking, nothing. To-
tal .(>(• cents. N.
The constitutional amendment
leaves just as it is now the 80
cent limitation on the amount of
the tax which commissioners
can levy without a vote of the
people.
The only change which the
amendment makes is to provide
that in each county the quali-
fied property tax paying voters
may. at an election held for that
purpose, authorize the commis-
sioners to change the allocation
as between these tax funds for
a period of six years.
Tf adopted no county would
be required to change its present
system, and none could change
without a majority vote of the
qualified tax paying voters of
the county.

Counterfeit Dollars
Nazis Latest Trick
WASHINGTON —(UP) — A
new Nazi trick was revealed to-
day. The United States secret
service told of counterfeit dollar
hills found in France by Ameri-
I can troops.
The bills, described as unusual-
ly god copies, opened out to
\ twice their original size when
I subjected to body heat. On the
inside fold was Nazi propaganda
I " hirh attacked Secretary of the
| Treasury Morgenthau as a few
| and described the dollar as ''in-
i deed Jewish money."
j The propaganda said:
"Ail the Jewish attributes can
be found on this dollar. The eagle
of Israel, the triangle, the eye of
| Jehovah, and the 13 leters of the
j emblem, the 13 stars of the Aure-
ole. the 13 arrows, the 13 olive
branches, and the 13 steps of the
unfinished pyramids.
Asserting that "this dollar has
1 aid for the Jewish war," the
, counterfeit bill also contained on
its inside fold the star of David.
; a Jewish symbol.

The situation on the Ameri-
can third and seventh army
fronts to the south remains
Just about unchanged. But
the French First army in its
drive to outflank the Bel fort
gap bus punched forward
north of Le Thillot. Fre-
quent German counter-at-
tacks are reported making a
little Aachen out of Le Thil-
lot.
At the northern end of the
western front, British Second
army infantry in the Nether-
lands has opened an attack on a
mile-wide front west of Venlo
toward the Meuse river. The
British gained up to two thous-
and yards in the first few hours.
The British also have cleared
out the last enemy pockets in
Overloon — 10 miles north >f
Venlo — an dadvanced farther
east toward the Meuse.
Pilots report that the tier-
mans have started evacuat-
ing their forces caught be-

pear lo have begun a general
withdrawal from " western
Holland and are reported
preparing to leave Rotter-
dam — after wrecking ten
miles of docks and quarys.
The Canadians have captured
another village in extending
their bridgehead across the Leo-
pold canal.
Bombers and ifghters are out
all over Holland from the Schel-
dt- east to the Arnhem and Ni-
jmegen area, and RAF heavy
bombers blasted Hamburg in
western Germany during the
night.
A number of German flying
bombs were launched from the
north Sea against London and
southern England last night. But
British planes and coastal guns
knocked down many of the one
