Is

AUSTIN, April IL. tPp-Swift
approval by the Texas House of
Representatives followed recon-
mendation Wednesday by Acting
Governor Walter F. Woodul that
rules be suspended TO permit pass
age Of a series of bills TO strength
en- existing tax laws and raise an
estimated $l7,500!000 annually Ia
revenue.
The house voted llS to 10 to
suspend It's rules despite strong
assertions by opponents that the
plan was a trap laid by sales tax
advocates in the senate who sought
TO Stave off an increased tax on
oil and taxes on corporations.
Bills TO plug loopholes in the
cigarette. beer. gasoline and gross
production tax laws and to tax
wholesalers and retailers OF medi-
cinal whiskey we're included in the
group.
Representative A. K. Daniel of
Crockett denied the bills would
increase revenues In the amount
estimated.
This movement comes from
advocates Of q sales tax and from
those opposing oil taxes and other
corporation levies," he said. we
got Woodul down in the governors
office and up comes this PROPOSE
ton. On our calendar now are bills
recommended by the tax commits
sioner that would raise additional
revenue from those able to bear It,"
Woodul Is acting governor while

Washington.
The house refused to suspend
the rules to permit consideration
Of bills to increase the sulphur
production tax and to levy taxes
on chain stores and incomes. Each
received q majority vote but fell
short Of the necessary two-thirds.
Representative w. Z Jones Of
Jourdanton chairman Of the house
revenue and taxation committee,
said enactment of the bills would
reduce the likelihood Of an i'm
mediate special session TO balance
the budget.
Charges that the current regular
session has been nothing short
Of a prolonged filibuSter" we're
made by Representative william A.
Schooner Of Temple who urged
that q serious effort be made to
balance the budget.
The motion on the sulphur tax
bill received u ayes and SO noes.
Votes Of rs ayes and IS noes and
90 ayes and S. noes respectively.
were recorded on the chain store
and income tax bills.
Discussion on the suspension res
olution replaced q senate bill to
establish q state department Of
public safety in the house. Repre-
sentative G. Z. Farmer Of Fort
Worth charged the plan for n
strong. centralized police force
was devised to crush the unem-
ployed when relief conditions grow

The house adopted ar amend
ment to reduce the salary Of the

mentS to a bill to establish a state
