FINANCIERS
VISIT VALLEY
Owners of Coastal
Projects Here For
Conferences

"Plans for development OF the
holdings Of the Dixie Developm mt
Co. and the Ocean Beach Drive from
Brazos Santiago to Corpus Christi
are still indefinite and we have no
announcement to make" was the
statement of Albert r. Jones, Kan
sas City financier and head Of the
Dixie Development Co.. who Is here
to discuss development plans with
engineers and others.
Mr.. Jones is accompanied by j.
NJ. Parker and Z. A. Taylor. also Of
Kansas City, who are interested in
the development and drive projects.
Announcement was made several
weeks ago that plans for the irriga-
ton OF the Dixie Development lands
and the Laguna Vista tract in the

completed tentative surveys for an
irrigation system which will include
a pumping plant on the Rio GrRnde

tility Of the coastal areas in Cam
eron county, and the climatic advan-
tages this section offers for devel-
opment of re~creational centers." Mr..
Jones said, "but we are not prepared
to make an announcement of del
mite plans. We are carefully con-
sidering the situation. We enjoy
the Valley, its climate and natural
beauties, and believe these will prove
big assets in the future"
Mr.. Jones would not verify rumors
to the effect that the group Of cap
i~talists interested in the coastal pro-
jects contemplated erection Of hotels

Urge Defeat Of
Tax Amendment
To The Herald:

To The Herald:
There is to be submitted to the
people at the general election in No
vember an amendment TO Sec. 2, Art.
8, Of the Constitution so as to au-
thorize the legislature TO exempt
property owned by a church or by
a strictly religious society for the
exclusive use as a dwelling place for
the ministry of such church or re-
ligious society and which yields no
revenue whatever TO such church or
religious society. and properly used
exclusively and reasonably necessary
in conducting any association en-
gagged in promoting the religious
educational and physical develop
ment of boys, girls, young men, or
young women operating under a
state or national organization Of
like character.
as IL is at present worded, exempts
among other things actual places of
religious worship and school prop
erty from taxation. At present such
property now exempted amounts to
possibly hundreds of millions of
dollars without the augmentation by
vast additions which would arise by
virtue Of further exemptions pro-
posed.
The aggregate amount Of property
which would be added by this
amendment to the present exempted
property is unknown. but IL will be
q large amount, running into many
millions. Such a deduction from the
taxable property will naturally be
met by increased taxation on that
which remains subject TO taxation IL
the amendment carried.
Approximately two-thirds of the
taxes 20 toward support and main
tenance of the public schools. Cur
tailment Of taxes necessarily re-
duces the amount going to the sup
port Of schools. Exemption Of
property from taxes necessarily in
creases the burdens OF that which
is not exempted.
A great deal of the property
sought to be exempted by this
amendment is in towns and cities
and is enhanced in value by the
growth ard improvement OF said
towns and cities. To exempt such
property throws additional burden
Of taxation for local improvements
and governmental purposes or that
property which is not exempt and
the exempt property reaps the bene-
fits thereof.
1t is urged that the terms and
provisions Of exemption from taxa
tion under Sec. 2, Art. s Of the
Constitution are now extremely lib
eral and are all that in business and
fairness to other taxable property
that should be allowed; and it is
urged that said amendment should
be defeated.
