Swinging slowly Into
the 46th legislature dur-
i first 'week took no hsetv
upon the score of highly
list subject* tossed Into
hy Gov. dames V, All-
^ but masilfested *
to acclimate Itself t«
Austin atmosphere, and delay
trainee* until after the 1n-
___festivities this week.
Reaction to the governor * mee
was varlsd. Most member*
_ the governor showed
_ ndable courage and frank
In outlining the state’s need
of more than 112,000,000 a year of
additional tax revenue. Some were
Writlcal. because Allred had <*>n
itly assured the state that
would be no need for new
, and only nominal need for
In existing taxes. The
nor, Quoting Emerson, ‘kies
off these campaign promises
_ declaring the state'a financial
situation was more grave than he
previously known, and declar-j
tog he would "rather be right
consistent."
Message Confident
fle Indicated great confidence
hat this legislature would be
jgaiw harmonious and more co-
f operative than the previous one.
when he put the soknns on notice
kg veto any attempt to llb-
fldlse the old age pension aft;
do any appropriation measure*
which did not carry with them
nrenue-ralstng provelons to meet
_iw expenditure; and veto any

Lobby Is Active
The tax recommendations In
the message threw the lobbyists
Into a furore, strongly in contrast
to the last specks 1 session, when
representative* of various special
tax bill without resistance. In the
hope that would ward off further
revenue demands at this session.
The message put them on notice,
however, that Allred seeks much
more tax revenue, and they Im-
mediately began forming their bat-
tle lines to keep the taxes down.
Many observers here believed the
governor has taken a leaf from
the book of Roosevelt, the master,
and hi aaklag many time# more
than ha hopes or expects to get,
on the theory that tf he gbte a
fraction of his ‘asking’ be will
achieve more.
Oil People Worried
Allred's call for more taxea on
crude oil caused considerable
iwot-ry to both Independent and
major oil spokesmen They had
hoped the Increase imposed by
the special session to pay pen-
sions would satisfy the governor,
but it evideatly didn’t. They are
concerned with re-enactmont of
the present proation laws, and
independent producers are con-
siderably upset because of delay In
posting by crude buyers of the
expected Increase In price. Oil
production has become so widely
spread in Texas that over half the
legislator* have eome tn their dis-
tricts. Carl Estes, the dynamic
East Texas publisher, is here t >
observe sod aid tn re-enacting
the proation laws and keeping
itown petroleum taxes, as a r*p-
reaentattve of East Texas Inde-
pendents.
