Yours with the low down,
Jo Serra
the strong United States Gov-
ernment. The Attorney General
of the United States now has
the right to file a suit if the
Government owns these lands,
or any part of them. He doesn’t
need a resolution from Congress
to authorize him to file the suit.
The parties asking Congress
to pass the resolution finally
admitted that they wanted .his
resolution for its moral effect
and because it was a declaration
by the Congress that United
States in fact owned the land,
in oth.^r words, the resolution
would be, in effect, an invita-
tion by Congress to the courts
to overrule the rule of property
which has existed in this coun-
try for over a hundred years.

be collected by the buyer. This
penalty does not apply to cot-
ton produced on any farm which
has received a cotton acreage
allotment and on which the pro-
duction is 1,000 pounds of lint
cotton or less.
Q. Will cotton loans be avail-
able under the new act?
A. The new act provides for
loans at the rate of between
52 to 75 per cent of the parity
price for cotton on the basis of
7-8 inch middling cotton. How-
ever, the loans will be available
only if the market agreeemnt
is declared in effect as a result

Austin, March 2.—Upon the
urgent request of several of-
ficials of the State Teachers
Association I flew to Washing-
ton last week to appear before
the judiciary committee of Con-
gress in opposition to a resolu-
tion seriously affecting the title
to our coastal lands.
The resolution, by Senator
Nye of North Dakota, was ori-
ginally introduced and passed
through the United States Sen-
ate in the closing days of the
session last year. Upon its face
it was an innocent resolution
simply reciting that it was as-
serted that the United States
Government owned title to cer-
tain submerged lands along the
coast of the United States from
which oil was being extracted,
and which is potentially valua-
able for that reason; and it in-
structed the Attorney General
to investigate the title of the
United States and file such
suits as were necessary to re-
cover same for the Federal
Government.
The resolution passed the U-
nited States Senate, and there
is no criticism on that account
—none of us knew just how
far reaching it was—but, it
failed to get through the lower
house of Congress and was
pending business at the begin-
ning of this session.
When we got to Washington
we found that those who were
pushing the resolution started
that it was primarily aimed at
California, which occupies a
slightly different status from
the other states; BUT the trou-
ble was that the resolution was
so broad as to cast a serious
cloud upon the Texas title and
that of every other coastal state.
Mr. Morgenthau, down
Wash., he sent me a circular
and some pic-
tures, showing
people with
smiles and look-

And our Govt., i,

mobile guys, for offering easy
terms, and the shoe, it looks
like it might fit the Secy, of
the Treasury.
And I looked at the pictures
and everybody is getting on
ocean liners, and playin’ pianos,
and restin’, etc.—and it looked
great. So I read the circular but
could not find if the bonds were

it is that tells other people what

prove they are not a horse thief.

The Most Rev. C. E. Byrne,
bishop of Galveston, delivered
a sermon, stressing the part
played by pioneer Catholic
priests toward attaining the in-
dependence of Texas and ex-
tolling the virtues of an inde-
pendent, democratic govern-
ment. An elaborate altar of
white and gold had been erected
in front of the ampitheatre,
with six flags of Texas and
banners of the American Le-
gion floating in the foreground.
Bishop Byrne and twenty
priests participated in the field
mass, sung by the Liederkranz
male chorus of San Antonio.
Knights of Columbus, the Holy
Name Society, the American
Legion and many other church
and patriotic organizations par-
ticipated in the processional.
A massed chorus of school
children sang patriotic songs’

neighboring towns played. F.

day shortly after state liquor
jaw enforcement officers had
raided his place and found a

Of mash.
Raiding officers said they
found the still and mash a
short distance from the farm
house well concealed under
leaves and brush. The mash,
they said, was ready for dis-
tillation.
Hoefer entered a plea of
guilty to Judge E. A. Arnim

and was released until Thurs-
day on his own recognizance.

worse than the original. The
amendment asserted that the

The amended resolution did'
contain the statement that it

tablished in the judicial pro-

ing states on the basis of the
production of cotton in each
state during the preceding five
years, and the acres diverted
from cotton under previous pro-
grams will be taken into consid-
eration. Each state’s allotmen*
will be divided among counties
on the same basis, but no coun-
ty will receive less than 60 per
cent of the sum of the acreage
planted in 1937 and the acreage
diverted from cotton under the
1937 program.
The county allotment will be
divided among farms on which
cotton has been planted in any
of the past three years as fol-
lows: All farms which have
not planted and diverted as
much as 5 acres of cotton in
any of the 3 years, will receive
as ’their allotments the greatest
number of acres planted and
diverted in any of the three
years.
All farms on which 5 acres
or more of cotton were planted
and diverted in any of the three 1
years, will receive as their al-1
lotment 5 acres and an addi- ]
tional amount which will bring,
the total allotment up to a per-
centage of the farm cropland
(excluding acreages devoted to
tobacco, wheat, and rice, which
will be the same for all farms
in the country or administra-
tive area.)
Provision is made for a small
county reserve which may be
alloted to farms receiving from
5 to 15 acres under the above
provisions.
Q. Will farms producing cot-
ton in 1938, but which did not
produce cotton during the past
three years, receive allotments? 1
A. Yes: a reserve acreage will
be available in each state to be :
divided among these farms.
Q. Is there a limit to the
a farm?
I A. No farm will be alloted an
of j acreage greater than the cotton
acreage planted and diverted
during the past three years ex-
cept in the case of new cotton
producers^
Q. What is the marketing
quota of the individual cotton
farmer?
A. It is the cotton produced
on his alloted acres, or the nor-
mal production on his allotted
acres, whichever is greater.
This means that he can sell
without penalty all the cotton
he produces if he does not ex-
ceed his allotted acres.
Q. Who divides the county
allotment among the farmers
in a county?
A. Community and county
committees who have been elec-
ed by the farmers.
Q. When will farmers vote
on the 1938 cotton quotas?
A. March 12, when the coun-
ty committees will select a vot-
ing place in each community
where cotton is grown and will
select three local farmers to hold
the referendum.
Q. If the quotas are in effect
as the result of the refenendum,
what happens to a farmer if he
knowingly overplants his acre-
age allotment?
A. He loses all soil conserva-
tion payments, his cotton price
adjustment paymeats, and ths
opportunity to obtain a loan on
the marketing quota for the
farm. However, he may receive
a loan on cotton produced in
excess of his marketing quota
of 60 per cent of the rate avail-
able to farmers who stayed
within their allotment. In addi-
tion, he must pay a penalty of

through the issue. It is the need
for courtesy on the highway.
After analyzing reports of 40,-
300 fatalities and 1,221,090 in-
juries in traffic accidents last
year, the company’s statisti-
cians point to these interesting
and little known facts about ac-
cidents.
Exceeding the speed limit
was responsible for 37 per cent
of the deaths and 25 per cent
of the injuries.
More than 94 per cent of dri-
vers involved in fatal accidents
were male and less than six
per cent female. It does not
necessarily follow that women
are safer drivers than men, it
is pointed out, because adequate ; acreage that may be alloted to
data on the relative exposure
are lacking.
Ninety-seven
drivers involved
dents had had
years’ driving experience.
More than 78 per cent of all
fatal accidents occurred when
, the road surface was dry.
Eighty-three per cent of all
fatal accidents occurred in clear
weather.
More persons were killed on
Sunday than on any other day.
The heaviest injury toll came
on Saturday. More persons were
killed between seven and eight
o’clock in the evening than at
any other hour.
Fatalities increased last year
m every age group except that
from five to fourteen years of
age.
In the last fifteen years,
441,912 persons have been kill-
ed in the U. S. by automobiles.
This is almost double the num-
ber of American soldiers killed
in action or died of wounds in
all the wars this country has
engaged in since its birth.

From the beginning of the
Republic the Supreme Court of
the United States had held in
unbroken decisions that the
State owns its coastal lands
“and the soils under its navi-
gable waters.” In most of the
states this extends out to the
three-mile limit, but in Texas,
according to the position we
took, it extends for three
leagues, which is about 10* j
miles.
