Governor ODaniel faces tax hike as campaign issue
Austin reports the State Automatic Tax Board set the ad valorem levy at 77 cents per $100, with the Board of Education fixing per capita school payments at $22.50 to cover a $4.5 million shortfall. The plan raises taxes to the highest level since 1934 and will be a focal point for ODaniel's critics in the 1940 governor race. The piece also notes political jockeying for Railroad Commissioner and contours of the Mexican oil dispute amid broader state politics.
