NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-R-
Greater concentration of large incomes
in the hands of few exists in New

In the Middle Atlantic states q
larger proportion of income is held
by the wealthy than in any other group

The report, compiled after two years

TAX EQUALIZATION
URGED FOR TEXAS

Tax equalization would prevent a
deficit in educational funds, declared
Gus Reininger, manager and field
operator of the Texas League for
Equal and Uniform Taxation, Thurs
day.
"All states bordering on Texas have
state equalization boards. Texas has
none. AS a result a lack Of system,
inadequate and low standard of edu-
cation will continue to prevail in the
rural schools of Texas. If the people
of the state would provide adequately
for the education of the children in
the public schools, then they must pro-
vide the state with system under the
operation Of which all counties can
be made to pay the just proportion OF
the expense" he said.
