WACO, Texas. Nov. 26.—In exist -
ance little more than a year, the
meeting here Saturday of the Texas
StMe Taxpayers' Association of
Texas, at which Prsident D. M
Jones of Dallas presided, was. per-
haps. the most important of any
gathering of that organization to
diate. Probably more constructive,
far-reaching movements were dis-
cussed and greater interest was
manifested than at any former ses-
sion of the State body.
Action on a resolution favoring
a sale' tax for the State in lieu cf
ad valorem taxes was deferred un-
til the next meeting of the State
Association, after a motion had
been made and seconded1 that the
resolution be adopted.
Other resolutions submitted and
adopted suggested that debtors
whose creditors are pressing them
negotiate for refinancing, at a low-
er rate of interest, smaller pay-
ments and longer time in which to
meet the payments.
City, district and county officials
where bonded indebtedness was
created prior to October. 1929, and
on which interest and sinking funds
can not be met, were urged to ar-
range for lower interest and an
extension of payment.

Prompt Payment Urged-
The gathering went on record as
indorsing prompt payments bv tax-1
payers, by every effort possible, of I
taxes levied according to law and)
equity and where valuations are
just and normal. Where such is
not the case, it was suggested that
taxpayers not Wait for their taxes
to become delinquent, but that they
appeal directly to boards of ap-
praisal and, as a last resort, ap-
peal to the oourts and secure proper
adjustments, in both valuations an 1
taxes, by and through due process
cf law.
Waco was chosen over F>*t
Worth for the next meeting, to be
held De<c. 3 and 31.
After a plea by Vice President W
J. Bailey of Fort Wbrtih, pledges
averaging $250 per month to have
a representative of the association
attend the forthcoming sessions of
the Legislature were subscribed
D. J. Neal of Gorman told the
gathering that “if the people be-
came aroused to this movement as
thy should be. the Legislature will
be as putty in their hands. Schools
and the Highway Department will
bankrupt Texas unless they are
made to come within the purview
of ,the law."

Changes Are Made
In Interscholastic
League Spelling
Notice County Spellers.
There has been a definite Chang®
in the rules for the spelling con-
test in the Interschalastic League,
this year.
Formerly, tire contestants in this
event were classified on an age
basis The now rules provide for
their classification on a grade basis.
The sub-junior is now the division
consisting of pupils of the third,
fourth and fifth grades; the Junior
division is made up of sixth and
seventh grade pupils and the senior
oenstet of pupils of the eighth
grade and above.
The price of the new spelling bul-
letin has been reduced to 26c per
cozen, or $1.00 per hundred copies.
Teachers are cautioned that the
contest involves plain writing as
well as spelling. Every letter In
a spelling paper must be clearly
legible.
The 1932 supplement to the Con-
stitution and Rules of the League
is now available, free of charge to
all teachers training spellers for
the League meet, and all changes
are llsitd in it-
