Legislators Comment On Tax Program: Allred's Plan Attracts Some, While Others Express Other Views the members' floor and heard in silence by a gallery crowded with "special interest" representatives, Gov. James V. Allred's tax program impressed various people differently. "What are the chances of the Governor's program to pass?" numerous legislators were asked.

"What is the program?" many replied. Rep. chairman W. of E. the Jones House of Jourdanton, on Taxation and Revenue, summed it up.

as a call for more taxes on natural resources. He regretted its late delivery to the legislature which now is in mid-session. "Bills upon most of the topics already have been reported 1 by the taxation committee," Chairman Jones said. "The Governor did not enlighten us much on what additionaltaxes industries can bear. Our difficulty is not in finding things to tax, but in determining what amount they can be taxed justly." Jones agreed the message was death blow to 'any possibility of a general sales tax at this session.

"Not that sentiment in the legislature is not pretty evenly divided about a sales tax," he added. "The makes it a waste of time to discuss Governor's opposition, however, such a tax. His veto could not bee over-ridden." Reluctance to clash with the administration seated many lips. Three members of the taxation committee flatly declined to be quoted. Two of them agreed as a "Don't Quote.

Me" proposition that: The House pass a chain store tax and it will be killed by the Senate, (2) There will be a little in-! crease in the oll tax. (3) There will be a slight natural gas tax. (4) There will a small raise in the sulphur tax, Senators do not have to face the tax problem until the House sends them tax bills. Sen. Clint Small of Amarillo, rival candidate for, Governor, reserved comment on the Governor' message.

Roy Sanderford's comment. With the session half 'over, the Bell county senator thought the Governor's plans have little chance. Sen. T. J.

Holbrook, Calvert, advocate of a sales tax to retire bonds, found the Governor's message a "good essay." Sen. Olan Van Zandt, Tioga, thought it "lengthy." Sen. Claud Westfeld, Dallas, called it a "wonderful message," while Rep. W. E.

Pope of Corpus Christi noted that it didn't tax insurance companies. "The burden on land will be increased if the Governor's program is followed," he predicted. Rep. Emmett Morse, Houston, suggested that a liquor tax would solve financial problems. "When you start taxing natural resources, you will break the backbone of the state," believed Rep.
