State Money, or Tax Money, Must be Spent More Economically
State Expenses
Must Be Reduc-
ed Says Graves
Austin, Texas, October 7th.—
Completion of 75 per cent of the
extensive work Involved In the ex-
amination of the 151 district
agencies of the Texas State Gov-
ernment, Including hundreds of
proposed recojnmendatlons for re-
ducing expenditures, simplifying or-
ganization, and replannlng activi-
ties was announced here by Harry
N. Graves of Georgetown. Mr.
^ Graves Is chairman of the Joint
Legislative committee on Organiza-
tion and Economy, authorized by
the State Legislature in 1931, and
his committee met in Austin Thurs-
f day.
The full committee was present,
Including Chairman Graves, Pen
Carl C. Hardin of Stephensvllle,
Sen. Grady Woodruff of Decatur,
Rep. P. L. Sanders of Nacog-
doches, and Rep. J. Turney Ter-
rell of Del Rio. The meeting was
one of a series planned to deal
with the reports of the Com-
mittee's staff.
Mr. Graves pointed out the need
for a more simple, modem, and ef-
fective plan of organization for the
State Government and revealed
the determination of the commit-
tee to recommend a plan for finan-
cial administration that will meet
the crying and immediate need
for effective, economical manage-
ment and proper control of finan-
ces and expenditures.
"The Committee has decided to
recommend to the Legislature a
complete revision of the entire
structure of our State Government
in the interest of greater unity
and economy," declared the chair-
man. "But our final plan, of course,
- cannot be prepared until all the
* 151 unite of State Government
have been fully covered. This is
a tremendous Job and we are
pleased with the progress to the
present point. Our technical ad-
visors, Graffenhawen and Assocl-
v ates, aided by a clerical, statis-
tical, and office staff (the latter
all from Texas) are rapidly moving
forward with the work."
Chairman Graves explained that
the expense Involved in the study
has been materially reduced, as
far as the State is concerned, be-
cause half of the Committee casts
are defrayed by the Spelman Fund,
as a free grant to Texas for carry-
ing out such program in behalf
of good government.
"In approaching our task," con-
tinued Mr. Graves, "we felt- tt im-
perative to make first-hand in-
quiry as to the activities, opera-
tion problems, and methods of each
governmental agency as the first
step In prepairing our reorganiza-
tion proposals. But this was not
our only, nor In fact our prin-
cipal reason for going Into these
units in great detail. We were
specifically directed by the Legis-
lature to make a thorough Investi-
gation of State departments and
I institutions 'of any and all kinds'
with a view to ascertaining if they
could operate at greater efficiency
or less expense to the taxpayer
and to ascertain how the affair;
of this State might be run in a
¥ more economical manner. One of
the greatest difficulties encounter-
ed in the survey has been the
obtaining of' dependable informa
Won as to actual expenditures of
State agencies.
"The committee has adhered
faithfully to these instructions and
to Its original program as announc-
ed earlier in the year. It will re-
port Its findings and suggestions
to the Legislature in detail.

Let Us Do Well
The Job We are
Supposed to Do
You have heard of women get-
ting so busy they didn't have time
to talk. Well, I have been so busy
the past weeks I haven't had
time to write. I am going to do
like my wife does when she is
too busy to)talk Just quit-work-
ing. •
Almost three weeks have slip-
ped by and old man Farmer Brown
hasn't had his say in the Claude ]
News, but here he is again on
this frosty morning with a speci-
al amount of pep and ginger.
You know there has been so
much goihg on with getting the
Teed In shape, mending the sheds,
barns, hen houses and getting
those last few cans of corn, to-
matoes, turnip greens and other
things canned before frost that
I haven't even known when Sun-
day comes around.
I have been thinking that the
old cellar Is Just bulging with
good things to eat and time to
kill that steer and put him Into
tin cans and hog killing time just
about 30 or 40 days off that we
are at least going to eat this
winter, although Old Tack says
this is going to be our hardest
and coldest winter in many a
year. With our livestock going in-
to winter in good shape with
fair pastures and plenty of re-
serve feed on hand and the cel-
lar bulging that this winter may
not be so hard after all. The
farmer who has prepared and
saved everything he could Is go-
ing to get In pretty good shape
Us farmers will not have any
money but we will have an abun-
dance of company hi the same
condition. I was talking with a
mechanic yesterday In AmarlUo
and he said he believed that the
average farmer was In much bet-
ter shape than he and his kind
in the city. The mechanic got
his little salary and spent It all
for necessities of life and his far-
mer friend got no salury but had
his own necessities of life in his
livestock and cellar, and had e-
nough stored up to last him un-
til warmer weather.
It has always be«n true that
the other fellows job looks like
the easiest just like the other
side of the stream or road always
looks the best. Why not buckle
down make the most of what
we have?—FARMER BROWN.

Improvement
College Station—'The brilliant
success of hundreds of East and
Central Texas farmers with im-
proved permanent pastures the
last few years leads to the pre-
diction by R. H. Bush, special a-
gent in the A. and M. College
Exeension Service, that the num-
ber of farmers beginning pasture
improvement this fall will break
all records. Returns as high as
$50 per acre have been made on
pastures in the East Texas
Permanent Pasture Contest this
year, rich grazing furnished dairy
and beef cattle, work stock, sheep
and hogs, he says. County agent
records show that 45.000 acres of
permanent pastures yielded 3040
farmers an average of more than
$5 per acre in 1931, and this value
is expected to show an Increase
in 1932. Some of the best pastures
are carrying two to three head
of mature stock per acre with
little additional feed required.

Mustangs Bow
To Panhandle
Panthers -13-7
In one of the hardest and clean-
est football contests ever to be
played in Claude, the Panhandle
Panthers emerged the victors. From
the first blast of the whistle till
the last the game was a bitter
fight between two teams of e-
qual strength.
The game was featured by the
Mustang's aerial attack which ac-
counted for the lone score. Time
after time a Mustang leaped into
the air to catch a pass for a
substantial gain. Of thirteen pass-
es attempted, ten were completed.
Muddy as it was the lighter backs
of Claude could do very little in
carrying the ball.
After an exchange of punts in
the opening minutes, the Mustangs
recorded a fumble in striking dis-
tance. A line play failed to gain
on the first down. On the second
down Lewter passed down the
center to W. Bagwell who leaped
i in the midst of several Panthers
and brought down the pass for
