rout by the Legislature to finance them on a permanent basis Already the Texas House has approved the plan to borrow $900000 for this purpose and it is more than likely that the Senate will accede as the pressure to maintain 'i pensions at not less than the present level is heavy t' The State already owes about $1 300 000f borrowed for old age pension purposes and the proposed loan would 'shoot the debt to $2200000 on which interest would "have to be increasing the cost of the pension system JIf thisjiolicy were followed Jongthe cost of administration would be excessive arid "pensioners

has been made Already a number of suggestions tor LzwA creating revenues have been made Gov Lee Daniel has offered his 16' per cent transactions tax and Kep'Alfred Petsch who introduced the plan of the governor has offered a billproviding lor a 214 Per cent sales tax Other plans include Increases in levies on natural resources" on cigarettes an4 other com modifies i i The Legislature to date has opposed a sales tax and without any doubt there wij be much argument and dis 4 cussion before any method of creating this revenue is adopted The oil and surplur and other natural resources interests 'have much influence in the Legislature ana a hard fight would be made on any proposal to increase levies on Other interests will oppose a sales tax and opposi tion to the plan apparently is widespread There are other social security proposals approved by the people of the State which are in even worse shape than the old age assistance plan since no provision has been made to finance them The retirement plan though many: teachers have paid in sums that aggre i1 gate millions has not been financed and for this reason is not operative No provision has b6en made for the aid nf riwnAnripnt children' though an amendment providing for this also was approved as was one to aid certain classes i of those who have lost their sight The1 Legislature has been in session almost a fourth of the

chmild havA attention loner ago ybe taken up as in addition to these more or less controver fetal there will be hundreds of other matters some of them of major importance that will demand more or less from the legislators" In view of the fact that the citizens have voted these social security tfbHgations on themselves it is up to Legislature to find methods of them and this' should not be longer delayed Tax On Sign Board With' interest in highway beautification steadily in creasing in Texas opposition is growing to the placing of bill boards and other signs along the highways More and more residents are coming to the view taken by those ot some other states which have practically outlawed the 'vi billboard for the reason that it tends to destroy scenic effects that otherwise would be enjoyed by the general 7 public resident and visitors The State Highway Department has taken a step oi I value in ridding the highways of these beauty destroyers by ruling that no funds will be made available for highwaybeautification unless all billboards and other roadside hnnV nf loasd 300 feet from the nght oi I fway In" most cases this ruling will prevent the erection ot i inew signs and has resulted in the removal of many since (those who employ this method of advertising find a sign LxV'sso far removed from the highwayof questionable value though this might be argued of those that closely border the i the reason tnat opposition to inese wgimu xww ingmore thanousual interest attaches to a bill introduced in the Texas House by Rep Travis Dean of Hamlin This "provides an annual tax of $1 on every sign whether it be a huge billboard or a strip a few feet long and a few inches wide which can be seen from the highway The enactment of such a law in the of Rep Dean would resultdn revenues enough to pay old age assistance claims While there is some reafcon to doubt this if there are 4Q0 00000 roadside signs in Texas then the need for getting hicj of them js greater even than most opponents there is no question but that a very considerable fund would result But the chief value of such an enactment in the opin ion of those who oppose the billboard and roadsign as a blot on the landscape wouia ne me enminauun oi muu sands of these beauty destroyers There are many firms 'use small roadside signs in large number and it is practically certain that they would refuse to pay a tax of $1 per sign per year" This is a proposal that should haye the support of a 9" large number of citizens It should appeal not only on the aesthetic side but from the point of highway safety since there are signs that interfere with the view of drivers though these are being eliminated as rapidly as possiblei The proposal is bound to be opposed by those who believe in this type of sign though there are many others who may place some credence in that would favor this particular drive Will Stick by rance Statements jnade by Premier Neville Chamberfain in the House of Commons today that Great
