Plan to fund schools and remove debt in 1930s era
State Superintendent W W Trene presented a plan to raise 82 205 000 from indirect taxes to fund schools. He proposed keeping existing class property taxes and spreading county indebtedness to balance the budget. The education department noted state public education costs were reduced by about 4.5 million this term due to consolidation, not fewer offerings. The Charleston community chest suspended a 1934 campaign, planning to preserve its agencies and reemerge in 1935 if needed, urging full pledge payments to support remaining 1933 efforts.

Lubliner Wins First Tilt As Tax Committee Leader
A youthful Democrat, A J. Dubliner, won a floor test for the chair of the taxation and finance committee. Delegate Merman J. Poling proposed a resolution to direct the committee to draft a revenue bill similar to last session. Dubliner argued the bill would tie the committee’s hands and urged floor action for new legislation. The measure moved to a vote with few yes votes, mostly from Republicans, and the chair’s stance drew support from some members while others doubted it.
