h nd its efforts to building up the Texas mahufacturing'an
industry At that time, practical minds sensed that in-l
dustriahzation would get little attention until something (
was done about pensions. Nothing has been done about .,
pensions, but at least it seems
an impasse until after next election,
apparently is going to devote Ins energies largely to the
industrialization prograi during the second year of his
tenure
Th< < bivenmr <»f Texas, be* aiise of constitutional and
stalulorv limitations, occupies :> relatively weak position school now
as executive positions go. Possibly he will be able to in ,h’’ hls,c
do no more about industrialization than he has been able
to do m the matter of pensions. Yet, even il the nidus- n-
trialization program is really a bigger task than the find
ipg nf m'oiov f*»r ohi-agi* pensions, at least it has on its
side the elements of harmonious procedure,
for pensions was in its nature a thing that

that one guess, "which is now being put out with a

Th»* Jones theory he explains, "has it that after Mr.
