INCOME TAX
The Texas House of Representatives acted wisely
last Thursday in defeating the Sales Tax Measure The
sales tax embodies a type of legislation that is opposed to
fairness and justice. It is wrong in principle.
The pyramiding effect of the proposed sales tax
would have been destructive to legitimate business and
would have worked untold hardship upon the consuming
masses of the country.
The Tribune cannot praise too highly the income tax
bill introduced by Representative Sarah Hughes of
Dallas. The "ability to pay" principle must be embodied
in any tax law if such a law is to be fair and just. The
Hughes Bill successfully meets this test. The bill pro-
poses a graduated tax. The exemptions are the first
$1000 for single men and $2000 for married persons.
The rates run from 1 per cent on the first $1000 of tax-
able income to 7 per cent on all above $11000.
Representative Kayton opposing the income tax bill
said "the sales tax would be spread over 6000000 people
rather than over 100000 as is proposed by this bill." The
Tribune takes the position that those who have large in-
comes should bear the burden of taxation and that only by
the income tax can this be accomplished.
Another cogent reason for the passage of the income
tax at this particular time is the deplorable financial con-
dition of our public schools. Unless revenue is forthcom-
ing from some source the per capita apportionment will
probably be less than $10.00 which will cause irreparable
damage to our public schools.
' Because of the fairness of the income tax to all
classes and in the interest of the school children of the
state the Hughes Bill should be passed by our legislature.

COLLEGE CHOIR
The Texas Lutheran College
Choir of Seguin in its second vis-
it to Bartlett enhanced its al-
ready admirable reputation here.
Such competent singing of such
dignified sacred songs as were on
the program last Monday evening
deserves the large and attentive
audience it received.
Particularly effective was the
"Saeterjentens Sondag" soprano
solo sung by Miss Vernelle Lam-
brecht against a background df
soft humming by the choir with
the chorus echoed faintly by a
voice in an outer room.
The program was uniformly
valuable "and it is earnestly hoped
the choir will return again next
year and continue thereafter to
be an annual affair.

Insurance Company
Owns Oil Field
The Southland Life Insurance Com-
jxiny today informed its local representa-
tive Curtis Vernon that his company is
the first in America to own a complete
oil field.
The property on which the field is sit-
uated" was acquired several years ago
and is three miles Southeast of Weleetka
Oklahoma. The field recently -was given
far more potential value when an old
well was drilled deeper into pay sand.
There are now seven wells five of which
re producers .and two nearly completed.
The Southland Life owns 2280 acres of
Avhicb 400 are under lease to oil com-
panies including The Texas Company.
-About 1600 acres Are included in the
probabilities as producing territory. It
is ikey that some time in the near fu-
ture a test well will be drilled to the
deeper Wilcox Sand from which Okla-
homa gets its greatest producers. Geol-
ogists who have inspected the field have
expressed the opinion that the TVilcox
Eand underlies ths shallow pool from
which present production is obtained.
