'Ma" Ferguson Tackles
Governors Job Again
AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) Mrs. Miriam
A. "Ma" Ferguson, goevrnor of Texas
once more, admits she has a man's
Job In attempting to lift the union's
largest state back on to Its feet eco
nomically.
Coming back to the chief execu
tive's chair after an Interim of six
years, Mrs. Ferguson Is tho only wo
man governor In the United States.
Before she took office recently she
said she was eager to "get going.
"Two Governors," She Says
Helping her In the difficult task
ahead will be her former-governor
husband, James B. Ferguson, who has
not been permitted to hold office In
his own name since he was impeach
ed and removed from the office In
1917.
Mrs. Ferguson told the electorate
when she was campaigning that her
husband had been the best governor
Texas ever had.
"You are offered two governors
for the price of one," she said.
Mrs. Ferguson's main professed
ambition Is to lift the "tax burden
from the back of the farmer." She
wants to do away with the( ad valo
rem tax on all real property.
She has in mind a general sales
tax to replace the revenue source
now provided by the assessments
against farms, ranches and homes.
"Put a sc-Ies tax Into effect and
you'll get to some of the persons now
enjoying privileges of government
who are not contributing a penny to
Its support," she said.
Would Divert "Gas" Tax
She would also take one-third of
the 930,000,000 collected annually
from a gasoline tax and place It In
the general revenue fund. At pres
ent three cents of a four-cent levy
go to the highway department and
one cent to the school fund.
"Present taxes on real estate In
Texas will destroy the value of every
farm and home as well as all other
real estate," Mrs. Ferguson said.
She Is determined also to "keep
up" the public schools. She pro
poses to place dne-thlrd of the gaso
line tax proceeds, Instead of one
fourth, as at present, to the credit of
the school fund.
"Other obllgatldns of the govern
ment can be put off until tomorrow,
next year or five years from now,
but the education of our children
must take place now lest they grow
up In Ignorance a reflection on our
civilization," she said
Mrs. Ferguson has Inherited not
only a substantial deficit In the gen
eral revenue fund, but faces the ne
oetsslty of providing approximately
910.000,000 for the public school fund
In the next two years If the schools
are to he maintained at the standard
set in recent years,
