TEXANS IN WASHINGTON Trim Waistline, New Charm Make Johnson New Man New Law May Permit Abilene Raise School Tax Ceiling n.v EUZAHETFI CARPENTER Ren Washington Burcuu WASHINGTON, Ajgust 16--The heart attack of Senator Lyndon B. Johnson lias made him a changed man. The visitor will Immediately nole his (rim waistline. Longtime friends tell him, with honesty, he looks better than they have ever seen him. But there is another change too.

A new charm has been added. For Ihe first time in his busy life he has time for reflective thought. Visitors will find him discussing issues of the day in terms of the next fifty years, not just the next roll call. And, without any warning, he is apt to begin quoting Plato or Winston Churchill or Hobert Walpole or Sam Houston. "It's the first time in twenty- five years I have been able to lean back, read, and think," Johnson me.

"Before, it was just fight- in' for every minute." So his scores of friends are heaping books upon him. Some, like Tommy Corcoran (Ihe famous Tommy the Cork, a braintnister, of the early New Deal days) drop by twice a week to talk. But instead of the U. situation, the conversation penetrates into the whole bloody century in which we live and in which mankind must find an answer to that most basic of all questions: how to get along. Instead of the desegregation issue, Johnson talks of the sleps in the struggle of minorities for status.

Appreciates Thinkers He has come to appreciate the world of such thinkers in Ihe Senate as Paul Douglas of Illinois or NAME J. William Fulbriglil of Arkansas --men he once was apt to scorn as ineffective intellectuals. This is nit to say thai Johnson was ever short on brains. But so much of the life of this ambitious brash young man has been devoted to action, that the reading and research have come principally through memos from an efficient Never one for fairy tales, even as a child, Johnson simply would not indulge in the luxury of philosophizing.

KFD Tcxos only in Wesi Mr Comftrt Laxury ky GREYHOUND San Francisco $31.20 Lot Angeles 27.35 Denver 13.65 North 6rh at Cedar Phone 2-3237 10-B THE ABILENE KEPORTER-NEWS Texas, Wednesday Morning, August 17, 1935 An act by (he last state Legis- lurc may permit Abilene to vole much as $1.50 tax on the $100 sessed value for maintenance of hools and an unlimited amount retire bonded indebtedness, Abilene will probably get some elief from the act which becomes Sept. 6, but local school of- cials don't know to what extent. Senate Bill 116 will permit school stricts to use for maintenance eir present legal school lax and and tax necessary to finance provided the total bonded debtedness is 7 per cent or less Hie assessed value of the tax ile property. The dislriot now must share the gal limit tax rate between retir- bonds mid maintenance. Bonded indebtedness of the Abi- nc schools is about 6 per cent of assessed value of the district.

Election Required Any change of tax rates would we to be authorized by a major- of the votes oast in an elec- on. Abilene's presently levied school ite is $1.10 on the $100 assessed aluation. Of that amount, 75 cents oes to maintenance and 35 cents retire school bonds. Legal opinions differ on what present school tax rate ceiling for Abilene. Some claim the ty charier provides a limitation 80 cents on the $100 valua- on.

Others say that the district an levy up to $1 on the $100 aluation for all school purposes. IB latter contend that taxation in bilene, an "extended municipal" strict is so limited by the ate Constitution. Whichever is correct, the rate ere exceeds both now. Abilene has a school district (-y the city government )ut extending outside the city imils. When other districts had their tax limit raised to $1.50 some years ago this type district failed be mentioned ana therefore stayed under the $1 limit, attorneys say.

Stale Ruling Awaited Supt. of Schools A. E. iVeils is awaiting word from the Texas Education Agency on whelher the now bill will allow Abilene a chance to vote a $1.50 tax rate lor maintenance, plus an unlimited tax for bonds. The hill sets up a sliding pcale of maximum school tax rates in proportion to the bonded indebtedness of the district.

The bill also puts a ceiling on the amount of Donds a school district may owe. That limit is 10 per cent of the tolal assessed value ot taxable property in the district. Thee scale of maximum school taxes follows: 1. Bonded indebtedness in the amount of 7 per cent or less of the assessed value of taxable property district may vote up to $1.50 on the $100 of assessed value for school maintenance. 2.

Bonded indebtedness amount- ing lo 8 cent of Ihe assessed value of taxable property $1.40 maximum as school maintenance tax. 3. Bonded indebtedness In the amount of 9 per cent of the us- sessed value of taxable property $1.30 maximum maintenance rate. 4. Bonded indebtedness in the amount of .10 per cent of the assessed value of taxable property $1,20 maximum rate fop maintenance.
