Letter from Truett Latimer to Frank Schatz discussing the tax problems in Texas. He disagrees with Mr. Schatz's suggestion of a tax on soft drinks and suggests it would be better to increase the tax on beer. He also lets him know that he voted for a bill akin to a retail sales tax that would exclude basic necessities like food and drugs. He finally informs him that the Texas Research League recommended some money-saving features and that he voted for a bill that would remove school superintendents in counties where they aren't needed.
