The Omnibus tax measure which I
explained in iny last column was of-
fered as a substitute for another bill
and was defeated. The original bill
was a Sales Tax levy, with a 33 per
cent increase in natural resource
levies. A substitute for the sales tax
measure was then introduced, levying
a gross receipts tax and was adopt-
ed. The Omnibus, t^x waa the? offered
as a substitute for the gross' receipt^
tax, but was lost. '
I voted for the {adoption at 'each
of these substitutes. While I pre-
ferred the Omnibus tax to the gross
receipts tax, I think the gross receipts
tax is much better than a sales tax.
After the gp-oss receipts tax wais
adopted the bill also retained the 33
per cent increase in natural resource
levies. The Gross Receipts tax levies
a one per cent tax on retail businesses
on total gross income over $45,000,
one-fourth of one per cent on whole-
sale businesses on total grosB income
over $75,000, and <Jne-tenth of one per
cent on total gross income of those
lending money.
After this substitute was adopted,
the bill passed the House. 3 supported
it.
It is estimated that the measure
will raise at least $20,000,000.
I cannot support Senate'Joint Re-
solution No. 12, which levies a three
per cent sales tax for the same reas-
ons that I gave for opposing a House
Resolution of the same nature.
I opposed a measure to legalize
marble machines. It was defeated.
I supported a bill to release the
penalties and interest on delinquent
ad valorem taxes. The measure was
passed to engrossment.
The Resolution I introduced to a-
bolish the poll tax was killed in com-
mittee.
As a member of the Constitution-
al Amendment Committee I voted to
report favorably, a bill from that com-
mittee to abolish the Courts of Civil
Appeals.
The House has just passed out the
bi-ennium appropriations for the
Eleemosynary and Reformatory In-
stitutions.
We have just passed out a measure
consolidating the different branches
of Social Security to come undSr one
board, to be known as the Public Wel-
fare Board. It is estimated that it
will Bave about $750,000 a year. The
measure is now in a conference com-
mittee.

It is with a sad heart that we try
to tell of the death of our dear Aunt,
Mrs. Lizzie McMahon, who passed
away so suddenly at two o’clock Sat-
urday morning. She had been sick
for seven weeks, but was fast improv-
ing and seemed to be feeling so well
on the day before she died. Her
daughter, Mrs. Lorene Fisher, had
spent that day with her, working her
flowers, and Mrs. McMahon stayed
out with her much of the time. At
about two o’clock she called the lady
who was staying with her, and she
only lived a few minutes. It is hard
to have her go, when we all thought
she would soon be well.
Everyone loved Aunt Lizzie, and
she loved everyone. She was kind
to old and young, and we will miss
her, but “our loss is Heaven’s gain.”
The remains were laid to rest be-
side her husband in the Oakland
cemetery at two o’clock Sunday af-
temon. A great crowd was present
for the funeral services, and the
flowers were (beautiful. Bro. Owens,
Bro. Pippen, and Bro. Gately had
charge of the services, and her prea-
cher brother, C. M. Currey, made a
few sweet remarks at the service. R.
E. Jordan had charge of the singing,
and Walter B. Seale sang a special
number.
Pallbearers were Brady Gentry,
Forest Tunnell, Loyd Pitts, Truman
Hardegree, Clarence Berry and
Cliff Kellam.
Farmers fear the high winds have
hurt gardens, tomatoes and corn in
this vicinity.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fisher spent
Sunday night and Monday with Mr,
and Mrs. Orville Stringer in Terrell.
Bro. Goff filled His regular appoint*
ment here at the Baptist church- Sun-
day.
Sandford Currey, Burkburnett, and
C. M. Currey,. Patricia, who qpme for
the funeral of their sister, Mrs. Lizzie
McMahon, are staying over for a few
days’ visit with relatives before re-
turning homt.
Herman Stfphei* visited in Dal-
las with Mr. and Mrs. Holland Lee
Friday and Saturday.
Mrs. Minnie Fuller, Canton, is
staying here with Mrs. Joe Reid Sr.,
who is in very ill health.
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Reid and Mrs.
O. D. Kennedy attended the funeral
of Mrs. Mamie Lunsford at James-
town on Wednesday of last week.
The school has had a very pretty
curtain hung in the school building.
Mrs. Hall from Dallas has the con-
tract for doing the work and she was
assisted by Mrs. Lorene Fisher in
securing the advertisement to help
pay for the curtain. We are indeed
proud of the curtain.
