BILL OF RIGHTS GUARANTEES
INALIENABLE PRIVILEGES
The American “Bill of Rights,”
consisting of the first ten amend-
ments to our federal constitution, all
adopted at one time in 1891, specifies
in some detail a number of basic civil
rights of the individual citizen. Un-
altered by subsequent amendments
and jealously guarded by our courts,
these privileges must still be respect-
ed by our governing bodies today.
Among the most familiar of our
constitutional guarantees are those
relating to freeedom of religion, of
speech, and of the press. The same
article protects the right of peace-
able assembly and the privilege of
petitioning the government for re-
dress of grievances.
Another amendment secures our
persons, houses, papers and effects
against unreasonable searches and
seizures, and specifies that no war-
rants shall issue but upon probable
cause, and unless supported by oath
or affirmation.
The due process of law amendment
encompasses not one but several
guarantees. Every American is secur-
ed against being placed twice in
legal jeopardy for thq same offense;
against being compelled to be a wit-
ness against himself in a criminal
case; against having his private prop-
erty taken for public use without
just compensation; and against being
held for trial for a capital (death
penalty) or other infamous crime,
unless upon a presentment or indict-
The right to a speedy and public
trial, by an impartial jury, in the
locality where the crime was com-
mitted, the right to be informed of
the nature and cause of the accusa-
tion, and the rights to compell at-
tendance of defense witnesses and to
have the assistance of defense coun-
sel in all criminal prosecutions are
secured by another section of the
“Bill of Rights.”
Excessive bail and fines, and cruel
and unusual punishments, are pro-
hibited in Amendment VIII. Other
articles insure the right to bear arms
and ban quartering of soldiers in
private homes during peace time.
Then, to make, quite clear to our
governing bodies the underlying in-
tent of the preceding provisions, the
Ninth Amendment states: “The
enumeration in the Constitution, of
certain rights, shall not be construed
to deny or disparage others retained
by the people.”
The Tenth Amendment further
emphasizes this basic theory by pro-
viding: “The powers not delegated
to the United States by the Constitu-
tion, nor prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people.”
Thus, the fundamental philosophy
expressed in the Declaration of In-
dependence, that men are endowed
with certain unalienable rights, and
that “to secure these rights, govern-
ments are instituted among men, de-
riving their just powers from the
consent of the governed,” has been
carried forward into the highest law
of our land.

j
No Co-operation
Bill Coyle, County Commissioner from Precinct Two since
1948, is seeking re-election..This newspaper is proud to give him
its support—and intends to tick off the points behind this stand.
To begin:
Much is heard, these days, of a lack of co-operation among
members of the Commissioners Court. Delays in starting long-
promised roads are explained by “no-cooperation.” Shuffles of
County personnel seem rooted in “no co-operation.” Technical dif-
ferences of opinion rage with little supporting data—but much
hooraw of “no co-operation.”
And Bill Coyle? Because he has often been in the minority
on court votes affecting measures under' debate, frowns have
fallen on Bill Coyle. Some feeble logic apparently holds that, being
in the minority, Bill Coyle must be wrong and, therefore, “not
co-operating.”
The reasoning does not hold—even though, in at least one
instance, it was true. For, just about a year ago, Bill Coyle took
a flat-footed, determined and unquestionable attitude of “no co-
operation.” The occasion was, you’ll recall, the still-unexplained
proposal that $3,300,000 worth of work on Belt Line Road be
handled on “cost plus” contracts.
Bill Coyle and one other Commissioner said “No.” The other
commissioners, and also the County Judge, hailed the cost-plus
idea as the way for quick action on Belt Line Road work. But
there was Coyle, saying “No.”
Dallas County taxpayers owe Bill Coyle great thanks for
that bit of “no co-operation.” For if ever there has been a waste-
ful, inefficient, time-consuming and money-eating method of
handling work—cost-plus is it. Here is every encouragement to
“fatten” a project so that, as costs balloon, so do the fees which
are computed as a percentage of the total costs. Here, in effect, is
a method for handing the County’s blank check to whomever
presents the most appealing spiel—and never, never, never know-
ing what the eventual cost will be.
Bill Coyle, “not co-operating,” made a few other observations
on the cost-plus idea—an idea, remember, approved by the
majority. As an experienced engineer, Coyle wondered how any-
one could bid on ninety miles of roadwork when only ten miles
of planning had been done. He also questioned the ethics of the
move as a means of advance hoarding of materials that might
become scarce. And, as a final point, Bill Coyle questioned the
legality of cost-plus contracts by the County.
After hearings in District Court, you’ll remember, a judge
agreed with Bill Coyle. The majority’s cost-plus proposal was
stopped.
No community is served by elected representatives who be-
come “yes men.” There are frequent times when “no co-operation”
is in the public interest. Bill Coyle, luckily for Dallas County, has
the ability to see these occasions—and the moral courage to
stand for the right and the people he represents.

, Ths PEOPLE’S CHOICE
I HAVE NEVER SOUGHT OR HELD
PUBLIC OFFICE
I solicit your support based
on the following platform:
1. I am opposed to further
encroachment of govern-
ment on private business.
2. I am opposed to increased
taxes.
3. I am opposed to toll roads,
and advpcate more-access-
ible super highways.
4. I favor economy in govern-
ment.
5. I favor higher pay for
school teachers.
6. I favor hospitals for the
criminally insane.
7. I favor outlawing the ad
xroiorem tax on automo-
biles.
8. I favor making the multi-
tude of attractions in the
State of Texas made
known to millions of tour-
ists.
I believe the GILMER-i^IKEN Bill was the most for-
ward piece of legislation ever enacted in this State.
I believe in our own RIGHT-TO-WORK LAW.
I believe in being fair to CAPITAL AND LABOR ALIKE.
My opponent, Mr. Bergman, said “The Gilmer-Aiken Bill
was a monstrosity and was just a ruse to raise teachers'
salaries,” and further said “He had done everything he
could to stop the bill.” NOW, you know what he thinks
of the teachers who mold the lives of our future citizens.
My opponent, further refuses to deny the charges that
he and/or his penthouse machine are spending THOUS-
ANDS OF DOLLARS to get him into a job that Will
pay $1,500 to $3,000, depending on the length of legisla-
tive session and any called sessions. I asked him from
the “stump” on two occasions, that along with all his
other spending, if the rumor were true “that the 42 (?)
big bill boards he was using was costing him from $50.00
to $200.00 per month.” So far, he has refused to answer
this specific expense item.
YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS—he is bound
to represent the interests of the financial machine spend-
ing THESE THOUSANDS trying’ to elect him. I WILL
REPRESENT YOU . . . THE PEOPLE!

Wrong Approach Taken •
On Reds, Student Says
By ROBERT M.HAYES
East Texas Bureau of The News
GLADEWATER, Texas, March
26.—H. (Barefoot) Sanders of
Dallas, president of the Student’s
Association at the University of
Texas, Saturday described recent
legislative action to oust Commu-
nists from schools as “the wrong
approach.”
Appearing on the final program
of Gladewater’s Democracy-Beats-
Communism Week, Sanders said
there is no reason to be alarmed
over the situation at the univer-
sity.
“The current uproar is just a
lot of newspaper malarky,” he
said.
“There is only one known, card-
carrying Communist among the
students and none on the faculty.
There may be six, eight or even
ten other students who call them-
selves Communists but they
couldn’t be called dangerous. As
a matter of fact they might even
serve as a useful purpose. Other
students can point them out as
freakish examples of what Com-,
munism produces.”
RESOLUTION PASSED •
Early this week the Legislature
passed a resolution instructing
presidents of all state colleges to
expel students and teachers be-
longing to the Communist party.
