ANOTHER MESSAGE TO ALEX,
GEORGE AND SENATOR
fOM
Elsewhere in this issue is a state-
ment from the Dallas News of the
new revenue bills down at Austin.
Gas and oil are the main sources
from which additional revenue is to
be secured. The Echo man wants
each individual and corporation in
Texas to bear its just burden of tax-
ation, and maybe oil and gas are not
bearing theirs. However, in adding
additional taxes on these two neces-
sities of life, who will bear the bur-
den? “Jones pays the freight.” Guar-
anteeing the railroads of the country
a fixed rate of income has resulted
in higher freight and passenger
rates for those who travel and those
who ship over railroads. An increas-
ed tax on gas and oil will mean that
up goes oil and gas. All business
men and farmers now use gas. Be-
sides, additional burdens on any
commodity will not benefit the tax-
payer unless ther£ is some way by
which taxes are lower on other prop-
erty.
It is none of the Echo man's bus-
iness, as he has never been elected
to the House or Senate, but what we
want to say, do say and will say to
Alex, George and Tom is, that the
great mass of people over this way
want to see a big slash in Govern-
ment expenses in many lines. Over-
head expenses of all private business
in Texas have been greatly reduced.
Farmers are borrowing less at the
banks for the year 1931 than ever
before.
The three outstanding factors in
determining the welfare of Texas
are the state, schools and the church-
es. These three factors can and will
determine the destiny of the State
financially and otherwise. The re-
sponsibility is great and rests with
them. Will they prove equal to the
emergency? So far very little has
been done or said about retrench-
ment in a financial way by either.
The world took its hat off to the
head of the German Government
when he offered to cut his own sal-
ary and called on the Government
and every official to fall in line for
retrenchment in a financial way.
What Germany has done must be
done in the United States and all
states in her border. Alfalfa Bill
Murray of Oklahoma and the new
Governor of Alabama are leading
the way. “Texans, let’s talk Texas”
and fall in line. Way back on the
red hills of Georgia more than forty
years ago Hoover Bentley and the
Echo man were cautioned about se-
lecting our helpmates for life. We
were told that a wife could throw
more out at the back door with a
spoon than the husband could bring
in at the front door with a shovel.
It is time to quit throwing so much
out at the back door, and call for
less at the front door.

NO NEW JOBS
A ten per cent cut in salaries ad-
vocated by some members of the
Senate and House at Austin will
have little effect in the way of re-
ducing the taxpayers’ burden, espe-
cially if ail bills pass that are to cre-|
ate new jobs and the appropriation
of money to make surveys and cre-
ate new bureaus. Instead of abolish-
ing jobs and bureaus and appropria-
tions there are many bills before the
Legislature to create more expenses
in the way of new salaries. These
name representatives of both houses]
when making their campaigns told
the voters how they wanted to cut
down expenses and relieve the tax-i
payers. When elected their first work]
is to create new jobs and make
heavy appropriations of moneys
these tax burdened people have to
pay. One way to relieve the tax pay-
er’s burden is not to create new jobs
and make no more useless appropri-
ations.—Greenville Banner.

RECIPE FOR SCOUTING
A bowlful of unbounded love for'
Boys,
One pint of absolute faith in Ameri-
can institutions,
Two cups of pioneer blood,
One tablesponnful of thrills,
One tablespoonful of romance,
Two tablespoons heaping of adven-1
ture,
A teaspoonful of Indian tradition.
A teacup of the vigor and grit of the I
Puritans,
A teacup of the chivalry of the cav-|
aliers,
A quart of the idealism of John Bur-|
roughs and Henry Vandyke,
One heaping cup of sentiment.
The whole seasoned well with pa-l
triotism and character and stirred up]
with the golden rule, after which
sprinkle well with the Stars and]
Stripes and serve red hot!
Daniel Carter Beard, National]
Scout Commissioner.
THE AIM OF SCOUTING
“To live as gently as I can,
To be, no matter where, a man;
To take what comes, of good or ill,]
And cling to faith and honor still.
“To do my best and let that stand
The record of my brain and hand.
And then if failure comes to me
Still work and hope for victory.
“To have no secret place wherein
I stoop unseen to shame or sin;
To be the same when I’m alone
As when my every deed is known.

“To walk undaunted, unafraid
Of any step that I have made;
To be, without pretense or shame,
Exactly what men think I am.”
—By Sir Robert-Baden Powell.
It will take one hundred years to
reforest our denuded lands and at
that time picnics will have cease^l to
interest a lot of us.—Rockford Regis-
ter-Republic.

perately every minute of the game.
The Parks Springs boys seemed to
have the ability to score when it
was m'ost needed. The score at the
end of game was: Parks Springs 16

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
. FOR MBS, FULLER
When Mrs. Fuller arrived at her
home at the noon hour February 5,
1931, she found, to her surprise, a
“big” birthday dinner prepared for
her by her many friends and rela-
tives.
Mrs. Fuller was persuaded in the
early part .of the morning to go
spend the day with her sister, Mrs.
Linker. It was while she was away
that the-dinner was brought in and
placed on the table—ready to eat
when MTs. Fuller came in.
Mrs. Fuller was 57 years old. She
received many nice gifts.
About 3 o’clock every one left,
wishing Mrs. Fuller many more hap-
py birthdays.
Those present were Mrs. Maggie
Miller, Mrs. Ben Stretcher and three
boys, Mr. and Mrs. Jake DeFord,
Mrs. Ed Winfrey, Aunt Betty Thom-
as, Mr. and Mrs. Joe S. Young, Aub-
rey Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Fate
Linker and children, Zelphia Herron,
Mr. and Mrs. Bennie Reppond and
baby, Mrs., Pearl Rushing and baby,
Mr. and Mrs. Roy DeBord and baby,
Mr. and Mrs. Will DeBord, Lorene
Winnett, Grade Jefferson, Mrs. Her-
ron, Mr. and Mrs. Embry and baby,
Mrs. Theo Davis and two babies,
Mrs. Emmett Jefferson, Mrs. Oma
Veasey, Coy Veasey, Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Fields, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. De-
Bord and baby, Mr. and Mrs. T. R.
Owens and baby, Mr. and Mrs. John
Hopper and son John Jr., Mr. and
Mrs. Hooover and family, Mrs. Wil-
liam Ellis, Mr. and Mrs. A. Alliner
and Mrs. T. M. Whitaker.

BRICKS AND GUNS
mobile, an axe, a club, a brick or
some other such common instrument
is the cause of death, the voices of
the reform element are still.'
The automobile, the brick, the
butcher knife, the axe and the rest
have, of course, useful and innocent
purposes. And so have the rifle or
revolver. They are used for hunting,
for sport, by thousands of people
who in ail probability will never
commit a crime, either by accident
or design. To deprive these good cit-
izens of weapons would he on exact-
ly the same logical basis as to de-
prive them of their cars because ,32,-
000 people are killed in highway ac-
cidents last year.
As a matte£ of fact, the old argu-
ment that an anti-gun law would
help subdue the underworld has been
exploded by experience in New York
and other cities. What it does, in-
stead, is to disarm the law-abiding,
making them better, safer and eas-
ier game for the thug, the second-
story man and the gangster. The
fact that such laws are still being
advocated is a beautiful example of
the ability of the professional re-
former, in any line, to disregard
facts in his enthusiasm to inflict pet
theories on the public.
More than a picture. It is
an experience.
