ANO WCOMISDAY, MARCH 17 A It
instance, many of the employees
in the Rusk State Hospital have
been working in that institution
for ten, fifteen and twenty years;
besides, many employees working
fur the Highway Department and
other state agencies in Cherokee
County have also built up seniori-
ty by long years of tenure. There-
fore, yr u can see that longevity
votild he important to us
Gag Ruts Rescinded
The ííoarrl for the State Hospi-
tals arid SoeCial ficfiooli has taken
some further action to modify the
original order saying (hat the em-
ployees working for their institu-
tions could not communicate with
members of the legislature
And we are reliably informed
that the employees in the Rusk
State Hospital ard similar institu-
tions can wr«te to members of
the Legislature upon subjects they
arc interested in,
So 1 want to urge the employees
to write to me whenever they have
problt -i*; and I kno'v that many
of then, do have problems, in fact
problems entirely unrelated to the
hospital.
Rast Hemes for the Agtd
Jerry Sadler and I are planning
t o introduce a joint resolution
which will propose a constitution-
al amendment authorizing the Le-
gislature to levy a welfare tax.
This constitutional amendment.
If accepted by the legislature,
would be voted upon by the peo-
ple in November, 1960
If the amendment should he a-
dopted by the people, the Legis-
lature would be authorized to
make grants to the aged in our
nursing homes and similar Insti-
tutions. The money for theie
grant would come from a tax de-
dicated to welfare purposes.
And welfare under the proposed
amendment would b e broad e-
nough to cover old age assistance
grants, aid to the blind and aid
to dependent and neglected child-
ren; furthermore, the term wel-
fare would cover our state hospi-
tals, special schools and other el-
eemosynary Institution .
We are especially interested in
doing something to promote the
care erf people who are in onr
rest homes; for the doctors In our
hospitals for the mentally lit tell
ns repeatedly that many of their
patients, thousand upon thousand ,
are people who should not be in
the hospitals. Many of them are
simply old, and their families are
not financially able to take care
of them; 90 they are ent to the
Fusk State Hospital and similar
institutions In order to get homes
for them. Worse still, the number
fs going to grow as the population
of Texas increase and our social
and economic conditions become
more complex.
1 will discus this proposed a-
mendment more fully in a later
letter.
Safes Tai Force
A I have told you many times
before, you can never get a good
picture of the Legislature merely
by visiting Austin and looking at
the surface. There are more un-
dercurrents in the Legislature
than you can find in the Pacific
Ocean, and among the undercur-
rents you will find cross currents.
There are more than 1,000 lob-
byist* here In Austin trying to in-
fluence the course at legislation,
and their interests an quite vari-
ed; but the roily big lobbyists,
those drawing salaries at <30,900
or mor# imp vür dIiis bifl
se accounts, are
in
For instance, th«? lobbyists who
few years ago -were fighting to
undermine the Gilmer-Aiken laws,
and place the cost of the schools
mainly upon the local districts,
are now showing some inclination
to support the recommendations
n ade by the flale-Aikens Commit-
tee in an effort to build up sen-
timent for a sales tax. By so do-
ing they hope to recruit teachers,
members of the FT A and others
in their drive.
