NOBODY'S BUSINESS
BY
JULIAN CAPERS, JR.
Austin —Taxes have been the
paramount issue and subject for
discussion before the Legislators!
tlie past week Legislators sit up
nights thinking up new taxes and
new things to tax. The senate
tax survey committee gave birth
to 18 new suggested sources of
tax revenue the other day.
The argument offered for every
suggested new tax isnlways that
it will relieve those burdened by
existing taxes. The trouble is it
never works out that way—it
simply means additional tuxes,
more money for the politicians
to spend
There has been only one reduc
tion in state taxes in a decade,
and that was when the people
took matters into their own
hands and voted a constitution-
al amendment to exempt home-
steads up to $3,000 from state
taxation.
Here is some interesting light
on the tax question. It is a sum
rnary of some authorative testi-
mony given by one of the best in-
formed tax experts in Texas be
fore the senate tax survey com
mittee—the identical committee
which a few days Inter brought
in the new tax suggestions. He
said: '• Present tax levies yielded
enough during the biennium just
completed to reduce the state de
licit from $20,000,000 to $12.-
000,000, and tocover the $16 50
school per capita appropriation
and pay $3 35 on the previous
year's deficit in the school fund
The state is about 90 davs be
hind on its current accounts
It could easily wipe out t he deficit
and catch up during the coming
bienneum without a penny of ad
ditional taxes being raised "
Business men are familiar
with the law of diminishing re
turns. It means you can't have
your cake and eat it. too. Pol
itieians persistently dropped
from $1,300,000 in 1931 to
$435,000 in 1932, and one of the
large Texas sulphur companies
built a $14,000,000 plant in
Louisiana, where even fluey
Long is too smart to kill the
goose that lavs the golden egg
As a result. Texas no longer re
tains the proud title of sole
source of America's sulphur sup
ply.
It isn't so much a matter of
finding uew things to tax, as it is
of collecting the taxes that are
already levied. There are about
$140,000,000 of delinquent tax
es owing in Texas today to state
counties and local governmental
bodies. If every tax collector in
Texas made an earnest effort to
collect these overdue taxes, it is
quite probable there would accrue
to the state sufficient money to
wipe out the deficit and operate
the entire government for a year
even if no current taxes were col
lected during that year.
The legislature has encouraged
a bad situation, of course. b\
passing law remitting penalti;'-
and interest, from time to time.
It seems grossley unfair to the
tax paver who has struggled and
denied himself to keep his taxes
paid, when his neighbor who has
gone delinquent for years, escapt s
all penalties and interest. But it
makes the delinquent vote for the
legislators who espouse their
cause Or nt least the legislators

Cooporatioji from surrounding
chambers of commun e was askeo
for the Big Cypress 3 i ou pro
ject, at a meeting of the board of
directors of Jefferson. VI irion
countv, Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday night February 20
Upon motion of A. VV. lieuder
derson, a school committee to
work with the local officials in
tbeir many problems, was ap
poiuted, consul ing of T U Bo
mar, A. VV. Henderson and T. L
Torrans, Jr.
Conventions and entertain
ment. committees were asked to
make investigation of rural sec
tioris in helping promote the
major projects. If interest is
shown by our rural people, the
chamber has in mind to visit
various community centers of
the county and. at luncheons or
dinners given by ladies of each
community discuss the mutual
problems of town and county.
To facilitate the work of receiv
ing an additional appropriation
for the Cypress [liver in Wash-
ington, it was agreed that Al
bert Wood, formerly of Jefferson
now secretary to Congressman
Fritz Lanham, will be asked to
work with our representatives in
congress an I with the local com
mittee in get ting the enlarged
appropriation
A letter was sent from the Ma
rion Countv Chamber to each
of the neighboring chambers,
asking their siiport.
The letter asked that a special
meeting of the board of directors
be called to help ia the work of
bringing pressure to bear on the
senator and representatives in
Washington and that influential
citizens in various communities
be asked to write their represen
tatives in congress
At this time we are endeavor
ing to interest our representa
rives in congress in the re estat
Wishing of shipping on Big Cy
press to Jefferson,the letter reads
in part. "This would be of vital
economic importarice to this
eutire region in that it would
lower freight rates and furnish
an outlet by water for cotton
and other products throughout
this section. The recent govern
ment survey shows 200,000,000
tons of iron ore in this region
which, with a water rate on ship
ping, would be developed in the
very near future."
"Now I'm the Picture
of Health," Says Lady
After Taking CARDUI
Here is how Cardul helped an
Alabama lady. ... "I suffered
from pains in my back and sides,"
writes Mrs. A. O. Gray, of Cusseta,
Ala. "I was so thin and weak, X
read of Cardui and decided to take
it. I noticed at once it was help-
ing me. I kept taking Cardui un-
til I had finished five bottles. X

ter. Now I am the picture of health.
My color is good and my weight
increased." . . . Thousands of
women testify Cardui benefited
them. If it does not benefit YOU,

C CONGRESSMAN TEXAS]
1' WO fllJO .>t;rll Loaijfl.
The appropriation for feed a' o
seed loans is tied up with the
Public Works Bill. Ir, will prob
ably be available by March 15th.
One who desires such a loan can
expidite his application by filing
an application with the local
Production Credit AssocifUion
now, as the refusal of that organ
ization is required before a loan
is granted through the Feed and
Seel Loan Division. In other
words, the applicants can get a
clearance from this source, which
will enable their applications to
be expedited when the law be-
come effective.
Public Works Bill
The tight on this bill is due to
the fact that the money is not
allotted to particu lar states and
for particular purposes. If the
money should be divided up. it
would probably be referred to as
a ' pork barrel'* bill, as many
Congressmen would fie charged
with being induced to vote for it
on account of certain benefits his
constituents would receive by rea
sou of its passage. I personally
expect the bill to pass in sub
stantially the same form that it
passed the House, which will al
low wages to be low not to ex
eced $50. a month to induce
workers to seek positions in pri
vate employment rather than ou
government work.
Old Age Pension.
The old age pension bill, which
has many other provisions at
taehed, will probably pass the
House very soon The chances
for getting the bill amended to
allow the Federal Government
to make such payments to the
aged without the funds being
matched wit h state or local funds
for the next few years, are not
promising. The members of the
committee seem to think that if
the Federal Government ever
once starts paying any sort of
pension directly, even though
very low at first, the states will
manage to evade responsibility
and get the amounts raised la
ter. In other words, the mem
hers of the Committee indicate
that they nre afraidto start it.
The question will probably be
passed on in the whole House of
435 Members.
