Anderson Legislator Also
Will Work for Old
Age Pension.

Tax on cigaretS, tobacco and malt
will be proposed by William j. Black
Of Anderson (Dem., Madison), to
finance free textbooks for public
school pupils of the state when the
legislature convenes in January,
Black declared today.
Il was elected on a platform CALL

age pension, and I'm going to stick
to my promise when I get here, -
said Black, who was Anderson'S
mayor from 1918 to 1922 and Mad
ison county sheriff for four years
before that.
Black estimated 100000 would
be required for the free textbooks
the first year the plan is placed in
operation, but that the amount re-
quired annually theresfte would be
considerably less.
His direct taxes on cigarets, to-
bacco and malt would be only
enough to finance the free books
Black asserted.
Chief objection to free textbooks
has been on the ground that the
general property levy should not be
raised to provide them, he said.
