Ex-Senator in Governor Race Opposes Highway Bonds
Former senator in the gubernatorial contest campaigns against road bonds and favors elective road oversight. He promotes rural credit, inheritance, luxury and franchise tax reforms as key policies, with remarks filed from Austin on January 18.
State Proposals on Tax Reform and Rural Credit System
The plan calls for taxing corporations luxuries and inherits to fund state needs while leaving property tax to cities and counties. It urges a rural credit system for home and farm ownership and proposes state steps to stabilize cotton prices up to 25 cents. It supports an elective highway commission with no highway bonds and advocates drilling oil wells on prison farms, convict labor for state industries, and payment of West Texas pink boll worm claims. It envisions water power subordinate to irrigation and regulating utilities via railroad board, while tightening anti lobbyist enforcement and limiting legislators from voting on matters affecting clients for two years.
