One star was awarded for having
a net debt ratio to assessed valua-
tion of 2.33 per cent, against the
state average of 2.45 per cent.
Another star was for a net debt
per capita of $17.56, against a state
average of $25.68 and an East Texas
average of $31.54.
The third star was for tax col-
lections. The survey showed that
Ellis County "collected 95 per cent
of the current 1953 tax roll and/or
100 percent of this roll including
delinquent collections for the tax
year ending June 30, 1954. Ellis
County's current collection percen-
tage was 94.08 per cent and total
collection percentage was 100.49
pel1 cent for the tax year ended
Jun 30, 1954."
Areas in which the county did
not receive stars Included “Operat-
ing Fund Tax rate,” “Operating on
a Cash Basis,” and "Living within
the Budget.”
The survey showed that Ellis
County's 1954 operating tax fund
rate was $0.80 against a state aver-
age of $0.75; that the Road and
Bridge and the Permanent Im-
provement funds were overdrawn
and that the 1954 budgeted expenses
totaled $619,914.50 while actual ex-
penses during the year amounted
to $672,642.80.
It was pointed out that county
assessments have continued to
rise.
It was also pointed out that se,-
curities held almost balanced the
amounts overdrawn.
Mr. Cooper said county business
is big business and called attention
to the fact that, by law, the annual
budget hearing is open to the pub
lie but that "nobody ever goes."

Senator Crawford Martin Sees
Another Crash of “1929”
Will an expanding economy take
care of America's social security
program, or will there be another
1929?
That is the question which will
be in the foreground in the nation
during the next two years and Is
the issue on which both major par-
ties will run in the next president-
ial election, according to Senator
Crawford Mai tin of Hillsboro, who
spoke at the regular Lions Club
luncheon on Wednesday.
He predicted "another 1929.”
Senator Martin, who has repres-
ented the Sixth District in the state
legislaure since 1949 served as chair-
man of the finance committee dur-
ing tiie session uf the legislature
which was recently adjourned.
Raymond Fallen Introduced the
speaker.
The senator told some of his ex-
periences as head of the committee
which had the responsibility of
disbursing $1,500,000,000.
He said the goverment was in
the hole and had to pull out.
He explained that the expendi-
tures contingent on the Gilmer-
Alken Law have almost doubled:
that Texans voted a pay raise to
teachers, that benefits to the aged
have been Increased and that the
highway program has been stepped
up.
Industry and business, the oil and
gas tax, and the sales tax on a few
selected items are bearing burden
Thursday Evening, June 23, 1955— THE PALMEK HUSTLES —
Cleburne Firm
Low Bidder On
Ellis Road Job
The State Highway Department
totaled low bids of $5,294,703.74 on
state highways and farm to market
road constj uctlon projects includ-
ing an EHia-Hill job of 5.8 mile*
on Farm Market 308.
The bid was $150,611, by John F.
Buckner and Sons of Cleburne, for
structures and paving from Milford
to Hill County line and from Ellla
County line to Mertens. *
ol tile increased expenditure, Senat-
or Martin said.
To raise 60 million dollars for in-
creased service to the public schools
and the old people, increased health
service, increased salaries and a
complete overhauling of the tax
structure, taxca were raised one cent
on a bottle of beer, one cent on a
pack of cigarettes, one cent on a
gallon of gasoline and 25 cents was
added to the franchise tax, Mr. Mar-
tin stated.
Now, he said the number one pro-
blem that faces the state Is that of
conservation of water and weather
to levy an advaiorem tax or a water
users tax.
New laws governing insurance
companies, a five-day week for
banks, a new tax ceiling for school
districts, roughly increasing the
limit from $1.00 to $1.50, and con-
sideration of requests from special
interests were some of the things
with which the last session of the,
legislature was occupied, the senat-
or said.
Some industry or profession is
always trying to take advantage of
another group, and there are such
problems as the claims of the new
ear dealers against those of the used
car dealers, and those of the oil sta-
tion operators versus the oil com-
panies.
The state employees are "sking for
social security in preference to their
present retirement plan and people
in general are begging} for regInden-
tion, calling it "security," Mr. Martin
said, adding that he ibelleves that
what they really want Is "certainty.”
Mr. Martin declared that the pre-
sent social security program is not
actually sound. As it stands, ap-
proximately 50 per cent of the soc-
ial security costs will have to be paid
by the descendants of those receiv-
ing benefits today.
Interesting topics touched on in
a. question and answer period in-
cluded land scandals, tax on natural
resources going out of the state,
fillibusteriiig, and segregation.
