POLITICAL ASPECTS.
The fight, precipitated by Sander-
ford, became a battle between Fergu-
son and Allred forces, with the for-
mer seeking to force the Allred ad-
ministration into writing a record of
increased taxes, increased state de-
ficit, and no relief for taxpayers. The
school children acre a convenient
vehicle upon which to hang the plea.
Allred, eroa»-fcjCumining Dp. A. W
Birdwell of Nacogdoches, president of
the Teachers’ association, and titular
head of the most powerful lobby in
Texas, made Dr. Birdwell admit the
schools have been more liberally treat-
ed under the Allred administration
than under any former governor. San-
derford insisted the legal question of
whether the board of education has
a right to fix a rate that would force
the tax board to fix the maximum levy
without discretion, should be “submit-
ted to the attorney general.” He did
this after a lengthy conference with
Atty. Gen. Bill McCraw. Allred, in an-

them. Ur. Roosevelt then cams for
ward with a second sat of reasons,
namely, that ths Supreme court as
at present constituted could not and
would not hold some of his social
legislation constitutional. That set ol
reasons was knocked into a cocked
hat when the Supreme court upheld
the Washington state minimum
wage law, the Wagner labor rela-
tions act and the social security
taxes. Then came the resignatior
of Justice Van Deventer. Justin
Van Deventer was one of the mer
whom Mr. Roosevelt had in mint
as unwilling and unlikely to see so
cial legislation through the same
glasses as Mr. Roosevelt saw th<
situation in the country.
The Van Devanter resignatior
gave the President an opportunity tt
appoint a new member to the court
It also gave the senate an opportu
nity to burst forth with expression!
of its own ideas concerning the typ«
of man who should succeed Justice
Van Devanter and the senators were
not backward in promoting the name
of the Democratic leader, Senatoi
Robinson. But Mr. Roosevelt thu*
far has failed to fill the vacancy
and this failure has been interpret
ed by the opposition among the
President’s own party as an unwill
ingness to select anyone but a radi
cal for the highest court. In any
event, those opposed to the court
bill contend that the President’s de
lay constitutes only another reasor
why he should accept "the inevi
table defeat” of the coiirt revision
program.
When it became apparent that the
original bill for six new justices
could not be passed because the
Democratic-dominated senate judi
ciary committee reported the bill
with a scathing denunciation, the
late Senator Robinson astutely of
fered a substitute bill in the nature
of a compromise. This substitute
bore the authorship of Senators Lo
gan of Kentucky and Hatch of New
Mexico. Even the substitute which
provided for one additional judge a
yegr until the Supreme court num
bered eleven members has receiver
the same bitter criticism that char
acterized the first measure. Many^
members of the senate say they wil
fight it as long as they would havt
fqught the original because it wil)
give the Chief Executive control o'
the Supreme court just as the ear
lier one would have done.

i’s death the na-
ause "he fought

that in Joe Robb
tion is the loser
the good fight."
But Senator Robinson’s sudden
death a few days ago has precipi-
tated a political condition of gravest
importance. Although none of us
who knew him nor those with whom
be was associated in an official
capacity could have foreseen his
sudden death, I think it is proper to
say that the passing of Joe Robin-
son may have more far-reaching in-
fluence upon his country’s history
than all of his long and distin-
guished career in public life. That
is to say, fate possibly has turned
in this instance to the role it some
times plays—the role of master
strategist.
The question may be asked: Why
does the death of one man become
so important?
The answer is simple. Joe Robin-
son was the field marshal for the
Roosevelt administration. Particu-
larly, he was the field marshal in
the greatest legislative battle to
reach the floors of congress since
:he days of slavery, and this coin-
cided with the daring adventure of
an epochal administration.
President Roosevelt leaned upon
Senator Robinson to put through the
senate a bill that would permit the
Chief Executive to appoint addition-
al justices of his own choosing to
membership in the Supreme court
af the United States. He leaned
jpon the Arkansas senator for many
ather things as well, but it seems
to be the consensus of opinion the’
Mr. Roosevelt’s administration ma1
well stand or fall by the success o
failure of his program to reorganiz
the judiciary of the United State*
It seems further that if the Presi
dent fails to obtain congressiona

give the President domination over
the court system of the country, he
will have lost control of the legisla
tive branch of the government for
the remainder of his term. Few
riesiuenis nave oeen ame to carry
Dn successfully without the co-oper-
ation of the legislative branch.
It is too early, of course, to say
whether the death of Senator Robin-
son means defeat for the court pack-
ing program. Nevertheless, most
of the astute political observers in
Washington—indeed, many of the
President’s own party in the senate
—believe that the passing of the
Democratic leader was a fatal blow
to the President’s power in con-
gress. This results from the fact
that Joe Robinson was able to mold
together many groups and cliques
and hold them by the sheer power
of his lovable personality in a co-
hesive, workable unit.
The country never will know how
well and faithfully Joe Robinson
fought for the President and his
policies. I have said in these col-
umns heretofore and I repeat that
I do not believe Senator Robinson
favored all of the New Deal poli-
cies, in his heart. He was progres-
sive but he had sound ideas; he
stood by the President and the New
Deal with courage and capacity, but
on many occasions, I have reason
to believe, he fought for those prin-
ciples because he believed he
should either fight as a member of
hie party or retire. Further, he
knew that if he would retire he
would not have the opportunity nor
the influence to persuade the radi-
cal wing of the New Dealers to pro-
pose reasonable policies. In other
words, the late Democratic leader
was attempting to be a leader in
fact as well as in name and many
are the indications where he was
able to pull the theorists and the
radical New Dealers back from the
brink of political destruction.

A National Safety Council survey
lists the seven most important causes
of fatal accidents, in order, as fol-
lows: Exceeding speed limit or driv-
ing too fast for road and weather
conditions; driving on the wrong side
of the road; disregarding stop signs
and signals; usurping right of way;
cutting in; passing on hills and cur-
ves; failure to signal for stopping and
turning.
These driving errors cause the great
bulk of all serious accidents, and the
first is by far the worst. Every one
of them is a human error—and every
accident they produce could be pre-
vented if individual drivers would ob-
serve the most elementary rules of
caution and proper driving.
In conclusion, here is one more fact

The courts have held no legal action

board in similar cases, so the bat-
tie apparently is ended with complete
victory for Allred.

Vitally affecting the state’s tax
revenues in future was the decision of
the U. S. circuit court of appeals at
New Orleans this week, holding valid
the intangible assets tax assessment
of the state against pipeline com-
panies. The court reversed Judge
William H. Atwell of the federal dis-
trict court at Dallas. The decison
means that about $75, 000,00 of valua-
tions of pipelines remain on the books
of the state, calculated on the basis of
earnings of the pipeline companies,
which testimony showed had repaid
the entire original investment in less
than five years. Under the system
used by the state tax commission, the
state certifies the valuation to the
country in which the pipelines are
located, thus bringing a huge tax
revenue to the state and the counties.
Chief credit for the state’s victory is
accorded to Grady Chandler, quiet,
studious assistant attorney general,
who neve* seeks publicity but win
plenty of lawsuits for the state. Pipe-
line companies may appeal the case
to the U. S. supreme court.

REMOVES THE POISON 2
President Roosevelt vetoed a little
known and little discussed bill the
other day. It was
Star Route known as "H. R.
Bill Vetoed 4408, An Act to
Provide for the
Renewal of Star-Route Contracts at
Four Year Intervals.” The title, ol
course, will mean little to most of
those who read these lines. But,
this was a bill intended to do justice
to those underprivileged classes
about which Mr. Roosevelt has often
spoken in his fireside chats ovei
the radio. The men who would have
benefited by this piece of legis-
lation were the star route carriers ol
the mails—the service that date*
back to the stagecoach days ol
America and the service from
which originated the Postal depart-
ment's famous phrase, "the mails
must go through." The star route
is the only means by which a good
many thousand persons are able tc
receive moils on anything like s
modern basis because this service
reaches the out-of-the-way inland
towns where railroads are not yei
and possibly never will be in opera
tion.
I watched this legislation gc
through the house without diskent
ing vote; 1 saw Senator McKellar
Democrat, of Tennessee, attack the
bill in vicious language and then J
saw the senate pass it by a vote oi
nearly two to one.
In addition, 1 know that the rep
resentatives of these little knowr
carriers (little known except tc
those whom they directly serve)
had tried for a number of years tc
obtain a basis of pay that will lei
them live. They finally were able
to convince Postmaster General
Farley that unless they were paid
more money the number that would
go broke in carrying out their con-
tracts would be amazingly large. 1
have not the slightest doubt that thit
group ought to be paid more money
for the work they do because theii

were members of a labor union
they would all go on strike.
No change has been made in the
basis of compensation or in the
method of contracting for this serv
ice since iUwas organized in 1845
except in minor ways. Three'quar-
ters of a century or more is a long,
long time. The President's actios
to vetoing this legislation, therefore,

It is a shameful that so many die occasional chills,
from Malaria each year. In fact there
are more deaths from this dreaded
/disease than are killed by automobiles.

of these symptoms, then the chances
are that you, too, have Malaria.
The thing to do is to rid yourself
of its poisons and tone up your sys-

pation and biliousness. Put color in
your checks, and feel good again—<
which you may do very easily by tak-
ing a few doses of NASH'S TONIC

macists of much experience, and after
many experiments, have made up a
formula that is proving to be a great
enemy to this Southern disease. Chills

if the people will recognize the New

It contains no Arsenic, Strychnine or

general and not, for governor brought
statements and reports from others
indicating a crowded field in this
race. Other potential candidates in
elude Everett Looney, Judge Ralph
Yarborough, Jerry Mann, Speaker Bob
Calvert, Sen. G. H. Nelson, Dist. Atty.
Goodrich of Shamrock and possibly
others. Woodul, out in front by vir-
tue of months of quiet campaigning,
was still the choice of the experts here
against the field. Talk of a third
term for Gov. Allred has almost com-
pletely died out in Austin, following
publication of unfavorable reports on
the “trial balloon” stories sent out
-recently. The governor laughingly
told a group of newsmen: “It looks
like you boys have written me right
out of a third term.”
