The Texas Retail Dry Goods As-

Burris C. Jackson of Hillsboro,
a Director of the National Cotton

Mumford, Texas, December 2.—
Talk now going the rounds to
the effect that the national de-
fense program will drain so much
money out of Texas that legisla-
tors consider- any new tax
measures as anything from ‘in-
advisable’ to ‘impossible’ should
be questioned as to ‘‘the motives
behind such reasoning.”
That flat statement comes from
Mrs. Jud Collier, Mumford, Chair
man of the Women’s Committee
on Economic Policy for Texas.
Mrs. Collier says bluntly that
certain of the interests who stand
to make contributions to the soci-
al security measures if a tax on
natural resources is enacted are
‘‘putting words in the legislators’
mouths.”
‘‘Talk of submitting the tax
problem to. the people is non-
sense,” she said. (The motto of
the Women’s Committee on Eco-
nomic Policy for Texas is “We
are tired of nonsense.”)
“Our legislators have already
had two mandates from the vot-
ers. When the people voted for
the establishment of the teachers’
retirement system, for instance,
they told the Legislature to put
the plan into effect. That was one
mandate. The other came when
the present legislators were elect-
ed. Each member has only to re-
member his campaign pledges to
find out how his constituents want
him to act on the question of
financing teacher’s retirement and
pensions for the needy aged.
The present talk is nothing
more than a dodge to throw up
additional obstacles to the passage
of a natural resource tax, Mrs.
Collier charged. “The vested in-
terests know that the people
would vote overwhelmingly for a
tax on natural resources, but by
advocating voting on it they hope
to defer action. It takes time to
hold a referendum," she added.
Wealth of Texas is going to add
tremendously to the income of the
state as a whole and to big busi-
ness in particular, Mrs. Collier
pointed out. “It is apparent that
Texas’ gross income is going to
be larger during the next few
years than ever before,” she stat-
ed. -
"Since all of the big corporfl
tions who deal with Texas natur-
al resources are entirely controlled
and 96 per cent owned by out-
qf-state individuals, there is really
only one question to consider in
the establishment of a tax on
natural resources,” she held. “That
it: do we want part of the taxes
paid here for use in Texas or all
of it in states such as New York
aiM New Jersey?”
Southern Cotton
Farmers To Know
1941 Allotments
College Station, ■ Dec. 2.—Bar-
ring unforseen circumstances, every
cotton farmer in Texas will be
notified of his 1941 cotton allot-
ment prior to the Southwide mar-
keting quota referenduVn Decem-
ber 7.
The task of informing counties
in the state of their allotments
and the subsequent breakdown of
the county allotments for the in-
dividual farms is well under way,
E. N. Holmgreen, state AAA ad-
ministrative officer in charge, has
announced. In a series of district
meetings over the' state this
month, the AAA official is urg-
ing the county committees to
make every effort to notify pro-
ducers of allotments.
In general, allotments under the
1941 program are running about
the same as under the 1940 pro-
gram, Holmgreen said. In most
cases the allotment for each farm
in a county is a fixed percent-
age—uniform for the county or
administrative area—of the farm’s
cropland. No allotment will be less
than 60 percent of the 1937 plant-
ed plus diverted acreage, provided
that no allotment ia thereby in-
creased to more than 40 per cent
of the farm’s cropland. No allot-
ment, however, will be larger than
the highest cotton acreage planted
and diverted in any of the past
three years.
Purpose of the referendum De-
cember 7 is to determine if mar-
keting quotas for cotton will be
in effect in TNif.-To become ef-
fective, quotas must be approved
by two-thirds of the cotton pro-
ducers voting in the referendum.
BURLINGTON-ROCK >8LAND
URGES MOTORISTS TO USE
CAUTION AT CROSSINGS
The National Safety Council re-
ports that during the first eight
months of this year it is estimat-
ed that 20,640 persons lust their
lives as the result of motor vehi-
cle accidents on the streets anu
highways of the United States, an
increase of 7 per cent over the
corresponding period of 1939. Fig-
ures just released by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission indi-
cate that during this same period
1,118 persons lost their lives and
2,667 sustained injuries in acci-
dents occurring at highway-rail-
road grade crossings, the greatest
number of fatalities resulting
from this cause in a correspond-
ii£ period since 1931, with the
e§ eption of 1937 when there were
1,144 fatalities and 3, 090 injuries.
Mr. A. C. Hall, Agent, calls at-
tention to the fact that hundreds
of lives could be saved annually
if motorists would only exercise
greater caution at grade cross-
ings. He points out the fact that
for years the Safety Section of
the Association of American Rail-
roads has asked motorists to have
their cars under control when ap-
proaching railroad grade cross-
ings, looking first to the left, then
to the right, and then crossing
only when the way is seen ana
known to be clear.
The Winter season will soon bo
here and with it will come slip-
pery pavements, restricted vision
and impaired hearing. Every one
who drives should be mindful of
these conditions and drive his car
All persons who shared in a cot-
ton crop in 1940, with a few ex-
ceptions, are eligible to vote.

mined to leave nothing within its
power undone in an effort to re-

this in mind appeals to local citi-
