Collapses In Face
Of Stiff Defense
AUSTIN. Jan 23 <U.R>— Rep
Albert 'Derden, of Marlin, candidate
for governor, assailed Governor
O’Daniel’s recent public policy ad-
dresses here yesterday afternoon
and opposed additional sales taxes.
Derden pointed .out that school
and highway systems have been
built up through local bond Is-
sues.
"We have heard much about the
■fnonhous ffebF that~ is hanging
about the necks of the good citi-
zens of this state." Derden said.
"Enormous as it may be, the ma-
I jortty of the Indebtedness is rep-
resented In a bonded indebtedness
either for the development of good
roads or better schools or both*!
“How many of you people arc
willing to lay this blame on pro-
fessional politicians and go back
to the conditions under which you
lived 20 years ago?”
