fpEX was rather caustic in his
1 criticism of the English. He
thought they were unreasonable
because they considered the usual
treatment of rodeo stock as cruel-
ty to the animals and that they
sympathized with the frightened ,
livestock.
All of which goes to illustrate
that ideas vary on what it takes
to constitute cruelty to animals.
It also illustrates the lack of sym-
pathy on the part of the British
because Tex lost his $200,000.

OF CAMPAIGN TO ONE--RELIEF
AUSTIN, July 25 — (UP) —4>son Forum, today editorially de-
x-----z.--------t----x, clared relief to be the main issue
in the race for governor.
“I have swung clear around the
state and I have viewed and
studied conditions first hand, and
I want to say that this drought is
so universal and appalling that it
will soon effect the people more
dreadfully than the depression has
in the last year’s time,” Ferguson
wrote.
"Jimmie Allred and his lobby
prattle, and Tom Hunter and his
tax twaddle, are falling on de«f
ears. They mean nothing to a suf-
fering people.
"The crops everywhere are
either burned up or they are so
scarce and scattering that they
will be of little or no benefit to
any part of the state. In every
part of the state will only the mer-
est few people be able to pay in-
terest, taxes, or debt at my kind,”
Ferguson declared.
npHE Clean Up Program for the
1 films seems to be progressing
nicely. The older releases which
were said to contain much filth
have seen a great increase in their
drawing power. As the new ones
are given new titles, the public in-
terest in them has shown an in-
crease. The campaign is proving
advantageous to the movie makers
from a financial standpoint . . .
and they already had fairly good
health.
