Allred targets tax and utility reform in Texas special sessions
In Austin observers expect two controversial special sessions of the 45th Texas Legislature to begin September 20, with Gov. Allred steering taxation first and utility regulation second as the budget battle and public spending cuts unfold. The sessions will also shape the 1938 political race, with candidates like Jim Ferguson and Col. Ernest O. Thompson pursuing influence while local issues such as school funding and public safety in Dallas draw attention. Washington action adds a $65 million cotton loan cushion, boosting Texas farmers before Christmas as University enrollment rises and state officials mingle with the Legion convention.
