Boyce, candidate for lieutenant governor, says his opponent is firmly tied to a sales tax vote in the Senate. He cites interviews in San Antonio and Austin denying the charge and points to Senate Journal page 1020 showing his opponent voted for S. J. R. 12, a constitutional amendment for a state sales tax. The commentary argues the measure could become a constitutional obligation blocked from repeal.

German autos at $260 holding up well
Berlin. Hitler’s Volkshagen car once seen as a bluff to drain German funds has proven to involve new progress in cheap cars. After six months of steady use British experts say the $260 model with a light pressed steel body and rear air cooled four cylinder engine is a marvel in low cost design.
