Texas House debates tax on real property income basis
In Austin on February 24 the Texas House debated a bill to tax real property by its earning capacity rather than market value, applying to all 254 counties. Representative P. G. Weinert cited a Chicago office building example, noting rent figures and assessed value under a 40 percent earning-capacity rule. The committee also reported bills on delinquent taxes and utilities selling appliances as a sideline, with penalties for intoxication laws trimmed.
