AUSTIN — Gov. Preston
Smith’s first-state tax program
fared unexpectedly well in its
initial legislative test.
Anguished cries were raised
at a House Revenue and Tax
Committee hearing by beer, cig
arette, coin-operated laundry
and cable television interests at
sections of a $175 million rev
enue bill directly affecting them.
Of the four, however, the coin
laundries appeared to make the
most impression on the Com
mittee.
Surprisingly, not a witness
appeared against Smith’s pro
posal, contained in a separate
bill, to place a $10 state sur-tax
on moving traffic violations. He
estimated that would raise $38.5
million.
Also, it was a surprise that
regular laundry, cleaning, dye
ing, parking, repair and machin
ery rental concern^ remained
silent. This since they, too, would
go under the three per cent state
sales tax if Smith had his way.
Naturally, this may or may not
indicate consent. Extendng the
sales tax to include them would
raise an additional $57.8 million
during the next two years.
Cigarette distributors claimed
that the $71 million bite they
would suffer, if the per-pack tax
is raised another four cents to
a total of 15 cents, would drive
away smokers and might result
in a loss of state revenue. They
also claimed that Smith’s $6 mil
lion tax addition for cigars and
other tobacco products would
lower consumption and virtually
kill the Texas cigar business.
Beer industry spokesmen cen
tered their attack on the fact
that they already pay $3.40 a
barrel in state taxes, which is
far more than most big beer-
producing states charge.
Coin laundries argued they
had no way to collect a sales tax
in their washing machines’ nick
el, dime and quarter slots and
therefore would have to have
their machines revamped, at
great cost, to take in pennies.
Cable TV spokesmen made no
impression at all with their ar
gument of discrimination.
Smith’s proposed one half of
one per cent chemical products
tax is expected to draw heavy
fire from that industry in an
April 16 hearing.
Floor vote on the tax bill is
expected to be delayed about
three weeks.
WELFARE yDEMAN/DS
GROW — Texans will be asked
again—and again and again, if
necessary—to increase or do
away with the constitutional
ceiling on state public-assistance
grants to the needy, commonly
called “welfare.”
And they’ll get their chance
sooner than they think. Speaker

Smith Urges Use
Of Free Thought
AUSTIN <&> — Gov. Preston
Smith called upon students and
educators Tuesday to preserve
an “atmosphere of free, academ
ic thought.”
Smith spoke at the opening of
the University of Texas Round
up showcase, which includes 75
departmental exhibits.
“Let us determine to preserve
this atmosphere of free, academ
ic thought which seeks to pro
vide the state and the world with
new and refined knowledge,”
Smith said. “Let us preserve
this freedom of opportunity in
the search for truth and im
provement.”
The governor said the sources
of greatness in a university in
cluded “encouragement of imag
ination, sensitivity, scientific
and humanitarian interests . . .
and a lively mental flexibility.”
“Let us also remember that a
framework of order is necessary
to insure this freedom of each
individual and to foster academ
ic greatness,” Smith said.

In 1965, we first offered graduating Aggies the
popular plan of 100% financing at bank rates and other
unique features. Now, for the first time by any dealer,
we offer car leasing at even lower monthly rates than
car payments.
See us about our plan now.
Them no mysleiy
about leasing
a Chevrolet.
Just ask the man
who sells them.
Why pass up a good idea- because no one’s bothered to
explain it? If you’re curious about leasing, see us.
As a Chevway/Chevrolet dealer, we now offer you a
choice—buying or leasing. And we can afford to be
objective^—we just want you for a Chevy customer.
So we’ll tell you if leasing is best for your life and
pocket. And we’ll show you the cars. And if you decide
to lease, you can wrap up a good deal on the spot. Just
ask your Chevway/Chevrolet dealer!
