House Is Silent On Government Competing With Private Firms
A special committee urged the House to curb government involvement with private business. Proposals include ending parcel post subsidies, higher rates to cover service costs, abolishing certain Army and rail services, tighter supervision of agricultural co operatives, and shifting work to private industry. Other ideas call for centralizing architectural supervision, restricting military bands, private bidding for public works, and limiting prison production.

San Antonio Taxpayers Face 1932 City and School Tax Rates
San Antonio taxpayers will pay 42.74 per 100 property valuation for 1932 city and school taxes, due April 1, after the board of education set the school tax at 7 cents. A heated vote followed a finance committee recommendation of 7 cents, with Dr Mary King Rabble opposing a measure she did not understand. The city rate is 81.78 per 100, down 19 cents from last year, totaling a 22 cent combined reduction. Dissent came from W R Williams and Dr Rabble over sinking funds and teacher salaries, while Gilmore and Stokes defended raising sinking fund rates to meet bond obligations.

Closed Farm Measures Debated by Senate Agriculture Panel
Washington Feb 6 two senile committees met behind closed doors to craft agricultural policy amid low prices surpluses and mortgage debts. The agriculture committee considered domestic allotment reform while a banking subcommittee explored federal credit to prevent farm foreclosures. Southern Democrats urged swift action on a Britth bill to cut 1933 cotton production by 9.5 million bales and offered a plan to let farmers buy government cotton shares at current prices and sell later, without upfront money, tied to production cuts.
