Legislature Advances Governor Shivers Tax and Anti Communists
The Texas Legislature moved Shivers tax measures through committees and the Senate. Proposals include a $25 million annual package funded by production taxes on beer gas and other levies to raise salaries and fund state buildings. Also approved were anti Communist provisions with long prison terms and a teacher pay raise plan. A 60 percent increase in corporate franchise taxes faced House opposition. The session also considered a $11 million state building program and a $2 beer tax parity with neighboring states.
