AUSTIN, Texas — Texas’ 56th
Legislature fizzled to the end of
its third session and 180th day
with its main job -— providing
money to run state government—
still undone.
Gov. Price Daniel called a fourth
session to begin just hours after
the last one ended.
House members repeatedly voted
down tax bills presented by joint
conference committees of senators
and representatives. Sefiate voted
favorably each time.
First House rejection was by a
vote of 81-to-64. This was on a
bill to tax tobacco, natural gas
production, corporation franchises,
utilities, motor vehicles, liquor,
wine, boats, motors, airplanes,
radios, TVs, phonographs, cam
eras and liquor by the drink in
private clubs.
Speaker Waggoner Carr named
a new House conference group
composed of members who had
voted against the bill. They met
with the same Senate conferees
that had worked twice before.
Only change in the new report
was that the private club tax was
cut out and the radio and TV tax
slightly increased.
House rejected it again, this
time 83 to 66.
More conferences and more
votes followed in the final frantic
hours. AH futile! None made any
apparent progress toward compro
mising the basic bone of contem
tion, whether to tax gas pipelines.
House favors this “severance
beneficiary” tax by a narrow mar
gin. Senate is flatly against.
Along with his new call, Gover
nor Daniel issued a sober warning.
Unless a tax bill is passed and ef
fective (requiring a two-thirds
favorable vote) by Aug. 15, there
won’t be time or money to get
Sept. 1 checks to 225,000 old age
pensioners.

the wind-up of the last session,
Speaker Waggoner Carr was, for
a time, the target for pent-up frus
trations and pressure.
Carr had worked to get the
House to accept the Senate-passed
tax bill. When the House turned
the bill down, Carr said that “ob
structionists” had defeated it.
This was a red flag to members
already sensitive to public criti
cism of a “do-nothing” Legisla
ture. For several days they sim
mered. They accused Carr of try
ing to thwart the will of a House
majority, talked of voting him
out of the speakership.
In a dramatic showdown, Carr
stepped down from the rostrum
and challenged his critics to re
move him if they thought it would
make things any better.
Nobody accepted his dare. A
few minutes later, on motion of
Rep. Joe Burkett, the man Carr
defeated for the speakership, Carr
was escorted back to the speaker’s
chair.
And the weary legislative battle
began again.

to require state college students
to pay an activity fee passed both
houses by very narrow margin.
