The more we think of the action of the
state convention held at Houston last week
the more we feel that we don’t know what it’s
all about. All along indications have pointed
to the trend of submission of the prohibition
question but with this editor sueh a move has
been out of the question. When the eigh-
teenth amendment to the constitution was
adopted the matter was settled so far as we
were concerned It was written into the law
of our land, that was all sufficient. But dur-
ing the past three years the agitation has be-
come more and more marked until now the
cry is heard from all nooks and corners of the
country ... Now the State Democratic con-
vention of Texas has by a sizeable margin fa-
vored the resubmission of the matter to the
states . . . What will happen from here out
is hard to figure on.. •. We might expect any-
thing.

In state politics, the event of th* week
was th* announcement of Governor Sterling
on Thursday that because ht does not believe
the State Government should incur new in-
debtedness at this time, he will no longer
urge the submission of a proposed amend-
ment to the Constitution providing for State
highway bonds. He added, however, that one
of his chief objects in urging the bonds in the
past has been that of relieving the counties
and road districts of the burden of taxation
which they placed upon themselves by voting
bonds for State highways. And he now pro-
poses that the Constitution be amended so as
to permit the diversion of a portion of the in-*
come from gasoline taxes to that object. He
explained that his objection to the Brooks
bill, which he vetoed, was that it was uncon-
stitutional and that it would have tied up the
funds of the highway department without
making the money immediately available to
the counties. He will recommend to the reg-
ular session of the next Legislature, if he is
reelected, that a proposed amendment be sub-
mitted to an election to be held*early in 1933
to provide for such tax relief of tlje counties.
There can be little doubt that such an amend-
ment would be promptly adopted by the peo-
ple, for there has been very little difference
of opinion as to whether the counties should
be relieved of this taxation. The difference
of opinion has been over Whet^Bf;"
be done by issuing bonds or out of
way department’s current revenue)
Governor Sterling is correct in bgt
will require an amendment to thff
tion to authorize the use of State funds in 9ft

the high time last year, but all the while there
was none of the usual excitement that attends
oil fields, and we have come to the settling
period still without excitement and very few
of the regrets that are found so many times
in oil fields. . . . For this conservative action
on the part of our leaders the entire citizen-
ship of East Texas should feel grateful.... It
could have been disastrous, but thanks to
sound and cool judgment we will emerge from

Three stages of all oil fields has marked
th* existence of them, first the discovery
days, then the period of high production and
prosperity, the decline and depression- The
East Texas oil field had its discovery days.
They were feverish after a fashion, but no-
thing to compart with other fields in Texas.
.. . Many of the elements of new fields were
absent from this area.... Then-with the pass-
ing of th* discovery days the high produc-
tion period came and this too was very dif-
ferent from the ordinary field . . . Few for-
tunes were made over night as have always
been the case with oil fields. Little of the
hustle and hurry of th* usual oil field has
been seen in the East Texas field- . . . Aside
from the extraordinary upheavals in crude
oil prices that came near wrecking the whole
machinery last year, the production has con-
tinued and conditions in general have been
satisfactory and along the ordinary lines of
other fields- ... The last of the three periods
of oil fields, though, is entirely different in
East Texas from the ordinary field. Boom
excitement has been lacking here to the ex-
tent that no wild or extravagant investments
in buildings and improvements have been re-
corded, therefore the period of declination in
this area will not be an appreciable item at all
in comparison with the same period of other
fields. ... In this particular respect we are
indeed fortunate. . . . There have been times
when many became impatient that things
were not humming with activity any more
than they were but now we all realise that it
is far better that such was the case. ... In
other word* the community was inflated with
* lot of watered stock of every description,
only to be exploded after the settling period
came . .. The East Texas oil field area is in
far better condition today than it has ever
been since oil was discovered, which fact
should give every citizen a considerable
pride-..* W* might have let a few of the

TUESDAY, MAY 81,
By EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff Correspondent
MOSCOW, (UP)—At least 10 American
engineers' employed in the Soviet Union are
engaged in a desperate and often tragic fight
for permission to take their Russian wives
home to the United States as their contracts
here expire.
They find themselves blocked by official
objections on the Soviet side and immigra-
tion regulations at the American end. The
tragedy is emphasized in several instances by
the fact that children have been born, or are
soon expected by the Russian-American cou-
ples.
A number of American husbands, unable
to renew their visas after their contracts
with the government ended, were obliged to
depart, leaving their Soviet families behind
them. From places like Riga and Berlin they
are continuing the struggle to obtain the re-
lease of their Russian wives.
Three American engineers formerly em-
ployed by the Colored Metals Trust here in
Riga are now making frantic efforts to obtain
passports for their Russian wives. They are
George T. Germain, Edmund C. Brown and
P. L. Steffesson-
Others are still in tlje Soviet Union but,
knowing that the expiation of their contracts
is near, already have begun the strenuous
battle to retain their wives. Among these
are C. C. Monnette and L- H. Garaux.
One of the Americans affected by this in-
ternational marital tangle is a Mr. Barrett,
who Has worked here many years and has
two children by his Russian wife.
According to some of the American en-
gineers the blame for the tragic situation
does not rest entirely upon the Soviet offi-
cials. They point out that the refusal of the
State Department to issue American pass-
ports, or at least American visas, gives the
Soviet authorities reasonable grounds for re-
fusing to grant exit visas to these Russian
women. Under the Russian regulations the
women are expected to relinquish Soviet citi-
zenship before departing. Being unable to
show proofs of any other citizenship, they are
obviously unable to give up their Soviet sta-
tus.
Garaux, from North Canton, Ohio, has
written and telegraphed to Senator Robert
J. Bulkley of Ohio urging an amendment to
the Cable Act of 1922 to meet the peculiar
circumstances facing Americans in the Soviet
Union. He asserts that a change in the for-
malities which would enable an American cit-
izen to apply for a visa for his foreign wife
it) her absence would help in many cases. At
present the American rules call for a personal
application by the wife, which is impossible
for Russian women who must show an Amer-
ican visa to get permission to leave the coun-
try
Other Americans have applied to Wash-
ington officials for assistance.

I have noticed in my recent journeys tp
various cities that in the cities proper men
and women walk with a quick gait. For the
most part they are anxious-eyed and seem to
be in a big hurry to get some place, while in
the smaller places they do not hurry, but walk
with an air of opulent leisure-
I also noticed that the larger cities seem
to possess sounds of their own, and this fact
ia very interesting. In imagination, we think,
most people are able to recall certain places,
not for their ugliness or their beauty, but for
certain other associations which we can only
describe as atmosphere; sounds, for instance,
and smells Some of them have a variety of
amelia.
It reminda me that a lot of cities, as well
a* public places, need a little cleaning up. In
fact, some of them need a long delayed clean-
ing.

The first thing everybody tries to think
of as soon as a member of the family has tak-
en some poison accidentally, is the right an-
tidote.
That, however, is probably the least im-
portant element in the emergency procedure
for poisoning-
What can be done that is most helpful
before the doctor comes, is simple, easy, ap-
plies to every poison—no matter what kind—
cannot possibly do any harm if there has been
a false alarm, and need not tax the memory.
First, make the patient vomit three or
four times.
Then give an enema-
Then start a perspiration.
Then get as much fluid into the patient
as is possible.
All this is based on the very simple logic
that the best things to do are to get as much
as possible of the poison which had not been
absorbed out of the patient’s body and to di-
lute th* poison that has been absorbed so
that it can do the least amount of harm.
The induction of vomiting is best accom-
plished by having the patient stick a finger
down the throat and stimulating the soft pal-
ate until the vomiting reflex is started. If
the patient is too weak or hysterical or coma-
tose to do it himself, it can be done by the at-
tendant. Common household substances
which cause vomiting, are mustard (a tea-
spoon to a pint) and salt (two tablespoons to
half a pint of warm water).
Be sure the patient is breathing. If he is
lapsing into unconsciousness start artificial
respiration and keep it up indefinitely.
Attention should also be given to stimu-
lating the patient. The most effective way
of doing this is to wrap him in blankets with
plenty of hot water bottles. This not only is
a circulatory stimulant but it helps elimina-
tion by increasing perspiration, and removal
of the drug in that way. Hot coffee, or am-
monia, or brandy, may also be given as stim-
ulants.
The antidotes usually given are egg
whites and milk. These are useful, however,
only to mercury poisoning. This, however, is
one of the three commonest poisonings- It is
most frequently thought of by suicides and is
for many reasons one of the commonest poi-
sons swallowed by accident. So the use of
eggs and milk is likely to be right-

WASHINGTON, D. C. -< Hardly anyone
suggests any more that actual destitution is
impossible in a country where productive land
is available to whomsoever cares to cultivate
it for a living.
President Melvin A. Traylor for the First
National Bank of Chicago did hint at an
idea in a talk I had with him several months
ago.
"Farming,” he said, “not only is not, in
reality, overdone in the United States; we
have room for 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 more
farmers, if only they would realize that their
calling is not one to get rich at, but simply
to yield livelihoods to those who follow it.”
The nub of It is that, given a sufficient
number of fertile acres to support a family,
any able-bodied man can exist on them on his
own terms, with his wife and children.
I myself saw it done by many folk a gen-
eration ago in what was then Dakota Terri-
tory.
Food was assured; each settler raised,
for the year ’round, what his household re-
quired. He and his brood dwelt, quite likely,
in a sod house; a competent pioneer can con-
struct one lone-handed. Turf served for fuel;
in some localities cottonwood- Clothing was
the sole cash item—and not all of that; home
dressed cowskin made warm coats for win-
ter.
It was a rough life, but absolutely inde-
pendent.
Moreover, not a few adventurous spirits
downright liked it. They came from the east
and pre-empted claims, which were to be had
from the government for nominal filing fees.
In fact, they kept coming until they filled up
the territory and carved two states out of it.
Obviously, then, it was not an unbearable
existence-
There were depressions in those days,
too, but they were net like today’s. There was
free land to fall bach on. Even in the 1880’s
not every urbanite fancied trekking forth to
face the hardships of the "open spaces,” but
some vrbanites had the nerve to do it when-
ever industrial employment slackened, and
sooner or later this thinning out process al-
ways brought about an easing of the city
pressure.
In recent years, as we know, the drift
has been strongly in the opposite direction—
from the farms into the centers of popula-
tion—until that and other causes have result-
ed in the present economic jam.
Yet land is still to be had.
Indeed, it is being acquired in enormous
areas—by the states, at tax sales, by big cor-
porations under foreclosure, and neither the
states nor the corporations want it; they
would be delighted, generally speaking, to get
rid of it for the face of their claims, or a little
less.
And that appears to be just the difficul-
ty.
The land is there, but it no longer is
free. On the contrary, it is so encumbered by
debts and taxes that it does not afford even
bare livings to its cultivators. The tax col-
lector, to say nothing of the mortgage hold-
er, sw*«ps off everything they ean produce
before they and their families have time to
eat it ’ ’A

When a city makes the mistake of going
into the electric power or gas business, it is
engaging in a business that should be pri-
J’ately owned. Usually, the result is, when
.fh*l)licly owned, it is left in the hands nf the
