Urr arc comforting themselves with
th knowledge that air conditioning
was imUled In House and Senate

bcuir a majonty of both houses
t tr tn agreement on new taxes
H us members systematically
it i pieces the big omnibus taxI
HB 727 As originally pro
posi it would have raised 300
000000 mostly from scores of new
< sale taxes on items rang
in from face paint to house paint
Vt r members got through cutting
c h things that brought the
jd vt howls it was down to less
t nnc fourth its starting size
I was then given preliminary apr

v Tarr stepped down from the
srv dker s rostrum to plead with
numbers to pa the bill even
th jpH it had been stripped to prac
t a nothing so as to get some
thv to the Senate
binat cannot consider a tax bill
unt it has been passed by the
House But for the Senate getting
the shattered fragments of HB 727
is like getting four wheels and some
broken glass with the invitation to
make an automobile
TASK AHEAD In the days that
remain until May 12 or in special
sessions thereafter the Legislature
faces these decisions
1 Appropriations House has
passed a bill calling for 322000
000 in general revenue Senate a
bul for 302000000 Differences
must be adjusted in conference
committee which neither presiding
officer seemed in a hurry to appoint
This could mean some sort
of agreement that there would ben
final decision on the appropriation
bill until a tax program emerges2 Taxes Either houses spending
bill with the deficity added in
would require something around
200000000 in new tax money This
much it seems certain must be
found somewhere
3 School improvement Backers
of the HaleAikin Committee program
will push for adoption of at
least part of that program It would
add some 100000000 a year to
state expenses
ABANDONED PROPERTY ABANDONED
In a vote that surprised
many the House killed the
abandoned property bill SOto07
Proposed measure would have allowed
the state to take over dormant
bank accounts and property

I tightening licensing regula
veterinarians also was pass
cd by the ScnaU Sen And Rogers
of Childress sponsor noted that
there Is no present law to suspend
licenses of veterinarians guilty of
malpractice
WHATS THE USE Senators refused
NMo15 to take up Sen A
M Aiklns bill to improve schools
and raise teacher pay
Those who opposed said passing
the bill before tax money is found
wouldnt bring a crying dime to
the teachers
Hopeful teachers could take some
comfort from the fact that some
who voted against considering the
bill said they would favor it when
money is on hand
LOAN SHARK CURB PASSED
Texans will probably have an opj
portunity to vote in November 1960
on whether to adopt a new approach
for regulating lending practices
Both House and Senate have approved
a proposed constitutional amendment
that would allow the
Legislature to regulate the amount
of Interest that could be charged
Present 10 per cent ceiling on interest
set in the Constitution would
be abolished
A constitutional amendment must
be approved by the voters at a
general election after it has been
passed by the Legislature and signed
by the governor
Backers of the change say it will
pave the way for driving loan
sharks out of Texas Such a measure
has been sought for a number
of years and has the backing of
Texas Legislative Council
MORE COLLEGES OKAYED
Texas is on the way to having anew
medical school and three new
statesupported fouryear colleges
Senate in a burst of educational
zeal passed bills to 1 elevate
Arlington State College between Ft
Worth and Dallas to a senior college

at Stephenville a fouryear college
3 make Midwestern University
at Wichita Falls a fouryear
statesupported college and 4 establish

All except the Midwestern bill already
had been passed by the
House
