House supports tax
. . . _ . . . Clark said already
United Press International
AUSTIN — A bill to give tax
payers more authority in controlling
tax increases has made its first sign of
progress in the Texas Legislature,
but it took action by the son-in-law of
Gov. Bill Clements’ 1978 Demo
cratic opponent to push the bill
through the House.
Rep. Bill Clark, D-Tyler, who
married the daughter of former At
torney General John Hill, Monday
won tentative House approval for his
bill giving local taxpayers limited au
thority to roll back excessive tax in
creases voted by school boards and
other local taxing units.
That proposal was among several
Clements used as a cornerstone of
his campaign and his early recom
mendations to the Legislature, cal
ling the package a “Taxpayers’ Bill of
Rights.” None of the other bills —
such as a ban on state income taxes or
hill initiative and referendum au
thority for Texas voters — has passed
either House, and less than four
weeks remain in the session.
Clark’s proposal would permit
taxpayers to overturn local tax in
creases of more than 5 percent per
year, but would require them to at
tain signatures and voter registration
numbers of at least 25 percent of the
registered voters in order to call a
vote on the issue.
Despite the restrictions adopted
during House debate, Clark praised
the bill as a good compromise and
said it will give Texans a valuable
voice over taxes on their property.
“The bill will give taxpayers tor
the first time in this state a chance to
say no to big property tax increases,
he said. It does not apply to home-
rule cities, which Clark said already
have provisions in their charters for
referendum on taxes and other is-
SU0S.
Despite Clark’s objections, the
House approved an amendment by
Rep. Bob Close, R-Perryton, allow
ing school districts to raise taxes to
implement state-mandated pro
grams without including those in
creases in the 5 percent per year
raises not subject to being over
turned by referendum.
“If we (legislators) increase prop
erty taxes on their homes, we ought
to give the people the right to say no
to us just like they say no to local
governments, Clark argued.
Clark’s proposal faces one more
House vote before being sent to the
Senate, where it is expected to face
strong opposition.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.— Tucked
away on the verdant banks of the
Genesee River in the upstate New
York hamlet of Piffard is a most un
usual supplier of premium bread.
Although the bakery serves the
general public it is separated from it
— not by high fences and tight secu
rity precautions, but by religious
cloister.
It is the Abbey of the Genesee, a
Cistercian monastery that bakes
Monk’s Bread.
The monks here must deal with
the fact they are a religious order
choosing to live in isolation from so
ciety, although they derive much of
their income from the society from
which they’ve severed themselves.
“We have to constantly remind
our distributing company that we are
not a bakery attached to a monastery,
but a monastery with an attached
bakery,” said spokesman Brother
Anthony.
“Our rules state that we are not
allowed to beg,” he said, “so we must
have some source of income.”
The profits are used to finance the
monastery and various charity
projects.
“People are always coming to our
door asking for help,” Brother An
thony explained, “and we cannot
really turn them away.”
