Several factors have combined to make it bigger than ever. They are the high level of employment that existed the past year, the increase in average earnings per family which teas in effect during all 10 per cent surtax, 1969.

As a result, the returns are expected to be quite a bit larger than those turned in last April. 15th, when personal income taxes from the local area were close to $9,761,000. That was the approximate total, according to a breakdown of payments from the state of Texas as a whole. The statewide collection amounted to $4,067,000,000, the Treasury Department reports. Thus, tax payments by Coryell County constituted 0.24 per personal residents, income tax receipts throughout the state.

JUST HOW MUCH of an increase is being counted on this year is indicated in the new budget. Nationally, it calls for $92.2 billion in personal taxes, or nearly $5 billion more than last year. Because of the economic gains chalked up in the area during the past year, notwithstanding the general slowdown in the rate of growth, local residents will be bearing their full share of this increase. Their payments to Washington are expected to total approximately $10,347,000, or about $586,000 more than they How Auto Plates Have Changed! If you want to see how Texas' auto plates looked 60 years ago, visit County Tax Collector Jack Whigham's courthouse office? and see a sample of the 1911 species on display there. The aged plate belongs to Berkley Laxson of Purmela.

It was purchased by his father, the late William T. Laxson, to grace the family touring car. There weren't too many cars- or license plates- -in this county back in those years and Laxson's number was 196. It wasn't hard to identify where the car was from. On the right side of the plate, stacked vertically, are the letters GATESV.

The plate, made of a porcelain like material, measures 6x11 inches.

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL Task Force Set for Statewide Combat Against Lawlessness by Vern Sanford Texas Press Association AUSTIN- -Concern over the continuing rise in Texas' crime rate has brought new responses from top state officials.

Gov. Preston Smith created the new Texas Organized Crime Prevention Council to check organized crime encroachment and appointed Atty. Gen. Crawford Martin and Col. Wilson E.

Speir, Department of Public Safety Director, as co-chairmen. Also named to the council were Harris County District Atty. Carol Vance, Dallas Police Chief Frank Dyson, Dallas County District Atty. Henry Wade, Bexar County District Atty. Marvin Ted Butler and Houston Chief Herman Short.

Speir set up a specialized criminal task force to assist in the new coordinated fight on crime. Unit will be composed of DPS criminal law enforcement division members who include Texas Rangers, intelligence and narcotics agents. Task force will work closely with the governor's Criminal Justice Council and local law enforcement agencies in an "accelerated and coordinated to combat statewide lawlessness in all its forms." Number of officers assigned to the new unit remains restricted information. Meanwhile, state and federal office to pledge continued coofficials a met in the governor's operation in control of drug abuse. Smith told U.

S. Justice Department representatives that Texas is "pledged to do whatever is necessary to stamp out illicit drug traffic." Governor also announced an April 2 conference sponsored by the Texas Phamaceutical Association on drug abuse problems. COURTS SPEAKhomes can be claimed as homesteads and made immune from seizure for debt, State Supreme Court agreed. In other recent cases, High Court concluded that: -A youth who appears in juvenile court, without parents must have a temporary guardian appointed. -Widow of an El Paso man who died of a heart attack gets no workmen's compensation because she could not prove the lifting work on his oil well servicing job brought on her husband's fatal illness.

-Girl struck by a bottle thrown in a Marshall theater cannot collect damages from the theater operator. (Decision reversed lower courts) -To void a policy on grounds of false statement by an insurance company must show that falsification was wilifully made with intent to defraud or decieve. Court of Criminal appeals held that it is not necessary to prove who fired the fatal bullet in a multi- shoot-out during an armed robbery to get a conviction. Fact that a fugitive may Have been brought into Texas from Mexico illegally does not prevent his extradition to a sister state, Court of Criminal held in the case involving an Illinois man wanted on a murder charge.

Peage except in the extreme WASHINGTON, D. March 19 On Wednesday the House passed by an overwhelming vote a bill creating 54 new permanent federal district judgeships.

Each federal judgeship costs the taxpayers far more than a Congressman (about a quarter of a million dollars per year each according to a member of the Judiciary Committee), and he is appointed for life. I know that there are some places where the courts are behind with their dockets, but the basic problem is that we are trying too many cases in the federal courts which ought to be tried in the state courts. The jurisdiction of the federal courts should be limited to substantial cases. Actually, federal courts are still accepting cases involving $10,000, which is the same limit which has existed for more than a decade. I voted against creating the new judgeships.

AFTER NEARLY three weeks of negotiations with our Agriculture Committee the administration has suggested that it would support a farm bill to guarantee substantially the same amount of money which we have been spending for each of the major crops during the next three years. I had hoped that we could have permanent legislation, but since that seems impossible our committee is trying to work out details which will enable us all to support a three year extension on terms which will at least maintain our farmers' present income. For several weeks we have been trying to get some kind of Improvement in the terrible long-distance mail service between Washington and Central Texas. Yesterday the Post Office Department promised me that they would establish direct pouch service for airmail between Waco and Washington and Washington and Waco. I am glad to get this improvement, but I am trying to get the department to agree to establish the same kind of service for regular first-class mail and to put in similar pouches at Temple as well as Waco.

I am very hopeful that they will do this. Waco and Temple are the two sectional centers in our district and serve more than of our postoffices and this means that this service would benefit all of the offices in the Word to Head TLC Committee J. P. Word of Meridian, state senator from this district, has been named chairman of the Texas Legislative Council's study committee on statutory revision. The appointment was made by Lt.

Gov. Ben Barnes. Statutory revision is a continuing project of the Texas Legislative Council as assigned by legislative act in 1963. The study committee, headed by Senator will direct the preparation and submission to the legislature of revisions of the statutes on a topic or code basis without altering the serise, meaning or effect of any legislative act. Word also serves as chairman of the Senate's important standing committee on nominations and is a member of 11 other Senate committees.

north end, which offices are served out of Fort Worth. IT IS NOW 5:00 p.m. As 1 must speak in Houston tomorrow morning I am leaving in few minutes -before the House takes a final vote on the D. C. Crime Bill which is now pending.

Like most everyone, I ain for the bill which tries to strike out crime in Washington. I am not at all sure that the new courts and enforcement officers provided in the bill will achieve much unless our higher courts allow some opportunity for the enforcement of the law with some real punishment. Most of the opposition to this bill is coming from those who do not want police officers to make arrests without going through so much "red tape" that the criminal is almost sure to get away. I think we must give the officers a chance to arrest the guilty. I think that the good people are in much more danger from unarrested criminals than they are of being arrested themselves.

New tax produced only $1.6 million in the first five months. Comptroller Robert S. Calvert had estimated it would raise $18 million from last October through August, 1971, but indications are that it will bring in only $8 million at the present rate. Acting ABC Administrator Kenneth Cook figured collections of the service tax are about a third behind original estimates.
