Tax balance and tax rate under scrutiny in Jackson era
The state budget committee flags a joker in Ed Jackson’s 84 million balance left in the treasury after his term ended January 10. About 2.3 million will be used this year to cover deficits from the 1927 tax cut and board actions. Lawmakers consider a seven cent rate hike for 1930 and 1931 to fund schools and state departments.

Man May Have Been Created In One Leap, Clark Suggests
Smithsonian scientist Dr. Austin H. Clark argues in the Quarterly Review of Biology that there is no link between man and monkeys. He says man appeared suddenly in the Pliocene era with the same form as today and rejects missing links as misinterpretations. He envisions life arising from complex carbon compounds and suggests man could have been born and died multiple times until a final creation occurred.
