Texas Association of Tax-
payers started with an ad-
visory committee of 300
prominent citizens. Sealy an-

drive is getting underway.
"Our purpose is not ob-

take whatever economies are

situation in the regular ses-
sion," Sealy said. "We are
united on one broad principle
— that this should be done
within the present tax struc-
ture and .without enactment
of either a personal income
tax or a corporate income
tax."
T. A. T. notes that busi-
ness pays 34 percent of the
present sales tax and that
18 per cent of all state reve-
nues come from natural re-
source taxes which many
states do not levy.
Our organization, says
Sealy, feols that "this is no
time to strap income taxes
on the people" in view of
unemployment and the shape
of the economy.
It will argue a corporate
income tax is "simply the
forerunner of a personal in-
come tax."
Meanwhile, the House-

Letter to Editor
Gentlemen:
I notice you people are!
concerned enough about rain J
to put up $10,000.00 to a Mr.
Berry if he would produce g j
inches of rain by last Wedn^
day night. The directions
written in the 26th chap
Of Leviticus, the Bible i
that anyone can read
understand. Moody tried J
when conducting an evar
Iistic campaign in Ft. Woi
over 70 years ago.
Rain came down so fast
one corner of his tabernd
cle came down.
L. C. Denton Hamlin j
were termed "unfair, in-
equitable, misleading and de-
ceptive."
Tough rules drafted earl-
ier by a Board attorney were
discarded in favor of uniform
regulations recommended by
the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners. In-
surancemen favored the lat-
ter.
Ads must disclose the wait-
ing period that is necessary
before the effective date of
the policy, any illnesses not
covered and whether bene-
fits listed require more than
one policy for full coverage.
When existing ailments are
not covered, the ad cannot
imply that, ones medical his-
tory does not affect the
policy or the claim payment.
Use of the phrase "no medical
examination required" is thus
limited.
Board plans to enforce
these rules by cease and de-
sist orders.
