THE KING OF TAXES
If all of tin* taxes wore one great tax what u great
tax that .would lie, and it would he called “The Transae-
ti«m Tax,’’ the King of taxes. In all probability even the
governor, first iwtvoeate ot' this super .sales tax, didn’t
kuovv just what an anomwms sum of money the measure
would raise. Since, the evelotie caused hy the governor s
suggestion of the transaction- tax, lias lessened to the pm
§x»rtions of a steady gale and nten, tax authority, have had
.time to-study the progi't-tl money har\e>ter, it has been
found that even more funds would be s<piee/,tsl Imia the
taxpayer than would he needed for the payment < ) the old
age pension, the pur po**’for which it was ini -nded.
We want the old age pension and want it paid,

age pehsion, in its proper and pnu*ti(Nii application, em
Inxlies all that is luiman and just. It is good, and most
<*f the people of 'Texas are ready for the |>ensioii to be paid
and are remly to puy the hill. But a better plan tor raising
the money than the transaction tax must he found tor it
will not meet,the approval of the thinking people of tli'm
commonwealth.
The governor has advocated some sound measures
leading to simplifving the government machine and nshie -
mg expenses. Kven those who did not vote tor him will
grant this, and approve.also the soundness of his plan to.
make practical and simplify the handling of the old age
