School Forces Press for Hearings on Machinery Bill Revisions
Discontented with the Senate education committee amendments, the school forces seek another hearing before the bill moves to the Senate floor. They oppose changes on teacher selection and the creation of district taxes, arguing the proposals shift control from superintendents to principals and local committees and could widen rural inequalities. A fierce debate is anticipated over bus routing authority and supplemental tax districts as the bill advances.

Tobacco Bill Defeated Amid Bitter Warehouse Debate
A late vote killed a tobacco warehousing bill opposed by border and central belt representatives as a racket to centralize business in eastern markets.

Proponents said it would curb unfair practices and rebates, while opponents called it protectionism harming competition.
