Suggestions Benefit All
Tho program to pay military personnel cash awards
lor money-saving suggestions can be a boon to both the
suggester and the taxpayer.
Once the program is in lull swing, thousands of
suggestions should pour in, adding up to a dollar sav-
ings on one hand while giving a boost to the bank ac-
counts ol inventive service personnel.
COyt-EAFPS
Though the program authorizes payments up to
$25,000, most will be much smaller. Suggestions don't
have to be of such magnitude as io eliminate the nation-
al debt. Any idea, design or program which will save
the government money will be considered. Awards will
be in proportion to the savings.
Awards will be made only lor suggestions that
show real savings. An individual serviceman or woman
can't just submit a sudden brainstorm and expect a
check in the next mail. Suggestions must be well thought
out and, in many cases, researched or tested beiore sub-
mission.
For those service men and women willing to put in
the extra time, effort and thought, the suggestion award
program can be a great thing. The total savings will be
equally valuable to the services and to the American
public. (AFPS)
Votes For Servicemen
For the first time in history,
servicemen stationed in Texas
will be able to have a say in
state government.
State Senator Franklin Spears
of San Antonio, who sponsored
legislation in the Texas Legis-
lature to give servicemen the
right to vote, reminded them
they must qualify like all other
citizens of Texas.
Prior to this year, Texas law
denied any member of the Arm-
ed Forces the right to qualify
to vote in Texas and restrict-
ed any Texas - born officer
or enlisted man to voting in the
county in which he originally
enlisted.
A federal court suit and en-
abling legislation have now wip-
ed out this bar, Spears said.
In order to qualify to vote, a
serviceman must:
1) Have lived in the state one
year and in the county in which
he is now residing six months.
2) He must pay a poll tax at
the county tax assessor-col-
lector's office or at a sub-sta-
tion. In most counties the tax
is $1.75 and in some it is
$1.50.
The poll tax must be paid be-
fore the end of January of the
year in which he wishes to vote.
In other words, servicemen who
wish to vote this year, must
pay the tax before the end of
this month.
With the payment 01 the poll
tax, the serviceman, like all
other citizens, is eligible to
vote in almost all elections.
These include elections forU.S.
Congressman and Senator,
Governor and all administra-
tive and legislative offices on
the ballot in his voting precinct
and any county, city or school
board official serving in his
political subdivision. This also
gives him the right to vote on
other issues, such as amend-
ments to the Texas Constitution
and election to determine the
sale of beer or liquor.
