The Sun reports 3.593 million unemployed in 1985 with 25.6 million employed in manufacturing and services, noting omissions of farming and domestic workers. It urges more jobs, critiques farm labor data, laments policy gaps, and reflects on political and social commentary of the era.
The Corsicana Sun notes growing support in the United States for a tax system based on rental income rather than assessed values. It cites England where property taxes target earning power and profits on sale, arguing such a plan is just practical and fair. Some American communities test the idea, but many still tax by arbitrary valuations, causing home losses in downturns. A compromise is suggested.
An argument over a ten cent debt led to the fatal shooting of a Dallas man Sunday last. The piece comments on perceived low value of human life among many Americans and reflects a collected jumble of clippings from Texas papers.
A fragmentary summary reflects mixed newspaper musings on gambling, machine age, travel, and social change. It mentions Indiana politics, dog racing, slot machines, and efforts to curb gambling. Observations note photography and passport contrasts, plus a wary tone on automated machinery shaping humanity.
