Gilmer Aikin plan sales tax forerunner
A critical look at the Gilmer Aikin bills argues the push for a sales tax in Texas serves pro sales tax interests. It details opposition from teachers and elected officials, including Senator Taylor and Claude Gilmer, and warns of state aid schemes that would shift local tax loads to rural counties while large cities gain relief. It highlights potential loss of elected control over education policy and the creation of an appointive education commissioner.

Blood Test Signals Cancer Presence Across Body
A new blood test could detect any cancer by a change in blood albumin that alters clotting time. Developed at the University of Chicago by Huggins Jensen and Miller, the method flags cancer early but cannot locate its site and may yield similar signals in infections. The test uses diluted blood heated to observe clotting delay after adding iodoacetate. Louisiana is named after King Louis XIV of France.
