movement to substitute a con-
sumer's or snles tax for the
State property tax. "The home-
stead exemption amendment has
to a large extent removed the
burden of a State property tax
from the average home owner
and to pass the sales tax as a
bstltuTe'Tor the State proper-
ty tax would simply relieve the
large corporations and place an
added burden upon the consum-
er" he asserted. The eight
largest corporations in the state
pay to the state annually about
8260000 in state and ad va-
lorem taxes it was pointed out.
"The moat dangerous fiscal
policy ever proposed in Texas
is the plan to subsidize the local
towns cities and counties out
of sales tax receipts impounded
in the State Treasury to their
credit" Mr. Hester declared for
"such a plan would mean the
passing of the money through
more hands with the pyramid-
ing of administration in Austin
and resultant expenses" he add
ed. "It would tend to make lo-
cal officials dependent on state
funds with a corresponding
breakdown in local control and
responsibility and would mean
further centralization and bu
reaucracy in Austin" he de-
clared in conclusion.
Mayor R. W. Miller introduced

past him and stopped about a
mile further down the road at a
curve in the highway parking
their car in a short abandoned
section in the road made when
the sharpness of the curve in the
highway was lessened several
years ago.
The men got out and stationed
themselves on the curve flash-
ing a powerful light head-on at
Mr. Miller as he approached. As
lie rounded the curve they open-
ed fire on him. The first shot
went wild the second shattered
the windshield and the third al-
so went wild.
Mr. Miller opened the throttle
on his model T truck and almost
went into the ditch ns he turn-
ed the next corner about 200
yards down the road. He contin-
ued to Circleville and then paus-
ed undecided as to what course
to take as he had no weapon
with him.
He saw car lights approach-
ing down the road and assumed
they were those of his assailants
and so drove in the direction of
Georgetown believing his car
could out-distance the other.
However though the car did
overtake him shortly it proved
to be a different one and Mr.
Miller drove on to Georgetown
where he notified authorities.

retiring sort of man.
Ho carried a knapsack filled
with food supplies and cooking
utensils for "batching." He ev-
idently had gone to the plat-
form to spend the night and
was slugged while he slept.
Local officers believe that
robbery was the motive of the
attack as his clothes had been
partly removed. The crime was
discovered Monday morning
about 10 :30 when Albert Adams
employee of the B. & W. railroad
noticed blood stains on the plat-
fonn while he was checking
cotton. Investigating he found
the unconscious man under-
neath. Scratches on his body in-
dicated that he had been dragged
under the platform after the
attack. Evidently Waites' at-
tacker believed him to be dead
as his skull was crushed from
several blows.
The man's wounds were dress-
ed by local physicians' and he
was aroused from his uncons
ciousness long enough to give
his name.
Announcements of the attack
were broadcast over radio sta-
tion WFAA in Dallas Monday
in the hope that his relatives
could be located.
Deputy Sheriff D. D. Bart-
lett received a telegram Wednes
day afternoon from George
Waites a brother of the injured
man living in Waggoner Okla-
ihoma inquiring about the con
Waites has remained uncons-
cious except for a brief instant
and has been unable to give an
account of the tragedy.
