The Tribune opposed the pre-
sent plan of cotton reduction
from the beginning and there-
fore has nothing to change in
that respect ana nothing to re-
gret, interpreting the stand of
many others — farmers and
merchants who gave the matter
some thought.

It is the most important
piece of legislation before
the cotton farmers, and if
they fail to take proper ac-
tion now, it is their grief.
Nothing expresses the past
attitude of farmers better
than when some say even
today — “Oh, what’s the
use?”

The legislature in Austin de-
cided to drop the investigation
of the relief expenditures. Ten
and one-half million dollars is
already spent and nine and one-
half million is to be spent,- and
when that is gone, evidently
the spending must continue.
One of the deepest my-
steries of the present time
is presented by the ques-
tion of how the pioneers of
this state, or communities
even in our times got along
without this expert relief
. before?
-0-
An interesting bit of informa-
tion was brought out in Austin
—- that the so-called “case wor-
kers” in the relief administra-
tion are to receive special ex-
pert instructions. It indeed
takes quite an expert to see
whether a family is hungry and
needs help.

Mr. Green of the Labor Fed-
eration is convinced that a 30-
hour work week in our industry
and business is imperative. The
farmer as a foundation of the
country may, of course, work
as long as he wants to.

Undoubtedly something
has to be done about un
employed but a peculiar
thing is that so little is
said about something that
would lead to a permanent
relief for those people. We
have plenty of good land
for them but nothing is
said about it.

Hoover Breaks Silence and Speaks of
American Liberalism Against “New Deal”
Philadelphia, Sept. 4. — Herbert
To relieve the state of Cali-
fornia, Upton Sinclair newly no
minated for governor, would
tax heavily all building land not
built on, all farm land not farm-
ed. His inheritance tax would
take 50% of any personal be-
quest over $50,000, 50% of any
estate over $250,000.

“But his greatest project was
for the unemployed- He would
have the State rent or buy land
and inactive factories, establish
colorries of unemployed, feed,
cloth' and house them with the
products of one another’s labor”
-0-
It is hardly necessary to go
to that extent. The people need
only an opportunity to earn
their own living, if not in the
city, then in the country. The
government needs only to offer
them an opportunity to own
land sufficient to give them a
living and take them off the o-
ther people’s back.
Hoover condemned the New Deal
today in the name of liberalism.
The former president, writing in
the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, describes the foun-
dation of “the American system”
as individual liberty, and the base
of “economic regimentation” as
“the very theory that man is but
the pawn of the state.”
It is Mr. Hoover’s first political
pronouncement since he stepped
out of the White House and Frank-
lin Delano Koosevelt walked in.
"It is my hope,” Mr. Hoover
writis, “to show that to resume the
path of liberty is not to go back-
ward; it is to return to the path
of progress from following the will
o’-the-wisps which lead either to
the swamps of primitive greed or
jto political tyranny.”
From the Pilgrims at Plymouth
to the army in the Argonne, Ire
says, Americans have died “that
the human spirit might be free.”
He continues:
“From these sacrifices and in the
consummation of these liberties
there grew a great philosophy of
society—liberalism. /
“The high tenet of this phil-
osophy is that liberty is an en-
downment from the Creator to every
individual man and woman upon
which no power can encroach, and
not even the government can
deny.....
“Under this philosophy and
through this structure we have de-
veloped the principles ami forms
of our social, economic and gov-
ernmental life—the American sys-
tem.
“The rise of our race under it
marks the high tide of a thousand
years of human struggle. Under
it our country has grown to great-
ness and has led the world in the
emancipation of men. When these

whete men are wholly subjective to
liberty if it shall be continued.”
Washington, D. C., Sept. 4. —
(AP)—Political Washington wonder-
ed today if Herbert Hoover planned
an attempt to return to the White
House.
The speculation —entirely inform
al thus far —was stirred by an ar-
ticle by the former president pub-
lished in the current issue of the
Saturday Evening Post. '>
This was the first time since he
left the White House on March 4,
1933, that Hoover has publicly ex-
pressed his views on political ques-
tions. He has written a book giving
his opinions in greater detail which
will be published late this month.
The former president asserted the
new deal is a usurpation of liberty
and was challenged promptly by
Secretary Ickes.
"When he speaka of liberty he is
talking of the rights of property,”
FREE COUNTY FAIR

ond Free County Fair will be here.
It will be held at the American Le-
gion park just like last ’year. The

Washington, Sept. 6. — After a
day of death, rioting and bloodshed,
textile strike leaders Wednesday
night reserved judgment on agree-
ing to arbitration by President Roose
velt’s board of mediation.
- Francis J. Gorman, national strike
chief, explained that the union is
ready to co-operate in a study of
the controversy by the board, but
that arbitration involves agreement
in advance that the board’s decision
shall be final.
The labor leader made it clear that
at present he and his colleagues are
unwilling to enter into 3uch an agree
ment and asserted that the strikers
would “stay out until we get conces-
sions from the mill owners.”
Meanwhile, two men, one a mill
guard had been killed and two score
wounded by bullets and clubs as the
steadily growing strike evoked a
wave of violence that surged through
Georgia and the Carolinas.
At least 325,000 operatives had
deserted the mills, it was indicated
by an Associated Press survey, with
labor leaders claiming the total was
450,000 and mill ownera contending
the number was far less.

Tax Exemotion
Purchase Plan Means
Millions for Texans
-o-
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. —
(UP) — A plan designed to
pour millions into thy pockets
of drouth-hit cotton farmers
thru the sale of tax exemption
certificates allotted under the
Bankhead control act was an-
nounced Wednesday by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace.
Principally created to aid
growers in the sun-seared areas
of the Southwest, the plan au-
thorizes farmers who did not
produce the amount of cotton
allotted them under the
Bankhead law, to sell their tax
exemption certificates at th«
rate of 4 cents a pound.
Under the Bankhead law each pro-
ducer was permitted to grow a defi-
nite amount of cotton. Staple pro-
duced in excesa of this amount was
subject to a tax of 50 per cent of
the market price.
The plan announced by Wallace
will work in the following manner:
A Texas farmer is allotted a cot-
ton quota of 500 bales under the law
and is given tax exemption certifi-
cates for that amount. Due to tha
drouth his actual production is only
300 bales, leaving in hia possession
tax exemption certificates for 200
bales.
A Mississippi planter is also al-
lotted 500 bal _ but due to favor-
able conditions, hia production total*
700 bales.
If the present plan had not been
devised, the Mississippian would have
been compelled to pay a tax on ona-
half of the market price, or 5.76
cents a pound on the 200 bales ho
produced in excesa of his allotment.
nothing. a Now, rather than pay the 5.76 cents
fo that $176,436.88 we formally! , ...
ped, America will cease to be Ameri-
can.”
“Greed," says the former presi-
dent,” is this system’s constant foe
coming from “economic agencies” on
one side and bureaucracy on the
other.
“The origins, character and af-
finities of the regimentation theory
of economics and government, its
impacts upon true American lib-
eralism and its departures from it,”
he states, “can best be determined
by an examination of the actions
taken and the measures adopted in
the United States during recent
months.
"The first step of economic regi-
mentation is a vast centralization
of power in the executive. Powers
once delegated1 arc bound to be
used, for one step drives to an
other.
“The whole thesis behind this
program is the very theory that
man is but the pawn of the state.
It is a unsurpation of the primary
liberties of man by government.
“It is a vast shift from the Am-
erican concept of human rights
which even a government may not
infringe, to those social philosophies

San Francisco, Sept. 5. — (AP
The convict population of Alcatraz,
bleak island of rock and steel in San
Francisco bay, was swelled to 211
Tuesday with the arrival of 103 as-
sorted kidnapers, robbers, gunmen
and desperadoes from Leavenworth
federal penitentairy.
Among the grim contingent shunt-
ed into the new prison in shackles
and under the muzzles of machine
guns were George (Machine Gun)
Kelly, Harvey Bailey and Albert
Bates, abductors of Charles F. Urs-
chel, Oklahoma oil millionaire.
Extreme precautions marked the
transfer of the prisoners in an ar-
mored, heavily guarded train to the
frowning island which has served
well as a prison and fortress under
three flags.
As was the case when Al Capone,
former No. 1 public enemy, and half
a hundred others were shifted to the
prison recently from Atlanta, the ar
mored ears were rolled onto a train
barge and ferried to Alcatraz.
The arrival of Kelly, Bailey and
Bates, regarded by the government
as three of the most dangerous
criminals of the kidnaping era, was
ganization, according to instructions
from State headquarters. Mrs. EUa
E. Lane of Shiner was unanimously
elected County Chairman and Coun-
ty Publicity Official, J. T. Jaeggli of
Moulton was elected Secretary. In
addition to the County Board the
State asked for a chairman in the
county for Historical and Education-
al Research. Chas McDonald, Co-
unty Supt-elect of Hallettsville was
appointed. Mrs. Elo Woltars of
Shiner was appointed Exhibit Chair-
man for the county and Jars. H.
Simpson of Hallettsville was ap-
pointed Beautification Chairman.
Representative Devall of Halletts-
viile was unable to be present so
the vacancy of the county Board
could not be filled, as only the Sen-
actor or the Representative can ap-
point Board members.
Hon. J. J. Olsen, incoming Repre-
sentative, was invited to meet with
the County Board Sunday, as he
will be an exoffico member after
Jan. 1st. Mrs. E. H. Marek of Yoa-
kum is a member of the Lavaca
County Board and is also the Chair-
man of the Senatorial District, which
places her on the State Executive
Board. She having spent Satur-
day in Austin attending the State
Centennial Board was very en-
thusiastic and gave the Lavaca Coun
ty Board much first hand informa-
tion. It was decided that the
County Board request of County
Supt. Schoppe the privilege of a
ten minute address by Mrs. Marek
before the County Institute, Tuerdqy

will reduce the tax on his excess 200
bales from 5.76 censt a ponud to 4
cents, and the Texan will receive ap-
proximately $4,000 for the 200 bales
which he failed to produce as there
are approximately 500 pounds to the
bale.
The plan establishes a national
pool to facilitate the sale and pur-
chase of the certificates with head-
quarters in Washington under the
managership of Ernest X. Deal of
Florence, Ain., regional consultant in
the cotton production section of the
AAA.
Fanners will send their excess tax
exemption certificates to the head-
quarters of the pool here or they
may sell them locally.
In event the certificates are sent
here, when the pool is closed, all
Money derived from the sale, less ex
penses, will be distributed among the
producers, and each grower will re-'
ceive his share in the proportion the
poundage surrendered by him bears
to the total poundage in the national
pool.
Local sales of certificates must be
made through the office of th? as-
sistant in cotton adjustment in the
county in which the certificates sold
were distributed.

Rome, Sept. 6—Benito Mussolini
Wednesday was reported planning to
take all women workers out of Ita-
ly’s industry.
Two reason,, it was reliably learn-
ed, influenced II Duce in his decision:
Jobs, he holds, interfere ynth what
he believes to be woman’s primary
duty, the building up of families and
the increase of Italy’s population.
The positions women hold should
be filled with men, thus decreasing
unemployment and raising the morals
of the people.
An editorial in Mussolini’s news-
paper, Popolo d’Italia, of Milan, tend
ed to confirm the report that he will
move to eliminate woman workers.
