Editor Glenn Doss in The White-
wright Sun speaks of the firing of
air rifles and guns within the city
limits and warns the youngsters
against violating this state law.
We have had a rash of this petty
vandalism here and the rash keeps
breaking out. Street lights shot out
and window lights broken by rifle
shot. This type of mischief is hard
to stop. Police try to control these
juveniles, but the public is inclined
to be too soft on the young folks.
Let’s get away from this silly idea
that just because the little lawbreaker
is under 18 he has a blanket okay to
do as he pleases. This ’coddling of
youngsters in the name of “self-ex-
pression” is a bunch of bunk.

The melting muds of March evoke
Annoyance in most older folk,
While high and gusty wind excites
No glee in those now long past kites.
And it would seem this month is
friendless
Whose list of drawbacks is so endless,
Till one beholds the younger males
Knee-deep in slush, or making trails
Across the mire of thawing earth.
One hears their winter-prisoned

(Fort Worth Press) '
Former President Hoover, for the
second time, is heading a Commission
on reorganization of the executive
branch of the government. Main
purpose is to find the holes in Uncle
Sam’s pockets through which money
wastes away, and recommend ways
to sew them up.
The commission is just getting
started, but in a sprightly speech be-
fore the National Press Club Mr.
Hoover cited one of the large, econ-
omy-size reasons for government
over-spending.
He estimated there are about 200
organized pressure groups which for-
ever are badgering the government
to spend more on their pet interests,
or fighting proposals to reduce.
If all these groups, Mr. Hoover
said, would “take a holiday for two
years,” it wduld be a lot easier to
make the economies which he be-
lieves possible ‘^without injury to the
necessary functions of the govern-
ment.”
There is only one satisfactory way
to cut taxes—and that is to cut
spending first.

Mr. Farmer: Did you know that there are no acreage
restrictions on corn in Texas? You can plant all the
EXTRA PROFIT WHITE HYBRID CORN you'wish
on the acres restricted by wheat and cotton allotments.
Plant Texas White Hybrid corn early
and fertilize as recommended by your
county agent in order to take full
advantage of the high-yielding qua-
duce taxes $1,397,000,000, and under
its provisions it would, be possible for
a family with a million-dollar income
to save one hundred thousand dollars
in income taxes. Those families with
low incomes would save very little.
The Democrats’ plan to increase
exemptions is a different story, how-
ever. Increasing the individual ex-
emption by $100 would save taxpay-
ers more than two billion dollars, and
it would work something like this:
A typical family consisting of hus-
band and wife and three children and
having an income of $4,000 a year,
would save $100. The same family
having an income of $10,000 would
save $110, and on up the income scale
as follows: $25,000 income, saving
$170; $50,000 income, saving $280;
$500,000 to $1,000,000 income, saving
$455.

that isn’t exactly clear to
The trickle would probably
slight as to be imperceptible.
The one thing that does make sense
to this editor is that the budget ought
to be balanced before any further tax
reductions of any kind are made.
That is what the Republicans prom-
ised during the 1952 campaign—to
balance the budget by governmental
economies, and thereby make tax
reductions possible—and they ought
to stick to that promise.
But if we are going to have tax re-
ductions at the expense of a further
increase in the national debt, let’s
make the tax cut apply to everybody
alike. An extra two or three billion
dollars of spending money in the
hands of all the people might prove
to be just the shot in the arm that
our lagging economy needs. The
only way to put that extra spending
money into the hands of all the peo-
ple is to increase the income tax ex-
emption $100 or $200.

Man Reduces Sleep To
Three Hours Nightly
LONDON. — Dr. Dennis Murphy
believes sleep is an acquired habit in
man and that by proper training:
brain workers can cut down the time-
they “waste” in bed to two or three
hours a night.
He has been practicing on himself
for 45 years and now—a sturdy,,
handsome 60—he averages only three
or four hours in bed, spending the
rest of the night in research and.
study on his hobbies.
Dr. Murphy said the idea came to-
him when he was a boy and used to
lie awake at night a great deal. He.
noticed he had just as much mental
vigor the next day as boys who slept,
eight, nine or 10 hours.
Over the years he extended his
waking hours until, during the
bombings of London in the last war,
he stayed awake for most of 73. con-
secutive nights.
“I only got an hour or two now and
then in a chair,” he said. “It was the-
final proof.”
“I believe,” said Dr. Murphy, “that,
the brain does not require rest. It is
the muscles of the eye that tire for-
they are like hands. Mental fatigue,,
so-called, does not exist.
“The length of time it takes to rest:
the eye muscles is the maximum of
sleep required. I’d say this is about
four hours for the average man.
Thomas A. Edison and Napoleon,
both slept about that long.
“Of course, manual workers and.
others who use their muscles will
need more sleep for there are more
muscles and nerves that need re—
frshing.”
(Celina Record)
Editor Glenn Doss of The White-
wright Sun ran a story in paper last
week which told of Grayson County
taking in more money, spending
more money, and coming out with a
bigger cash balance in 1'953 than in
any other year in its history. He
hopefully appended to the article this
headline: “This Ought to Rate a Low-
ered Tax Rate.”
This would lead the reader to be-
lieve that the Whitewright editor is
laboring under the delusion that
taxes continue to be levied for no
other purpose than to raise revenue
for the support of government.
Doesn’t he know that this old-fash-
ioned idea has been abandoned for
years by those who are really in the
know? Isn’t he aware that taxation
is the handiest little tool you ever
saw for paring country editors down
to size when they begin to make too
much money? Has he not seen how
efficacious it is when used tb put the
bottom rail on the top of the fence?
The two great political parties ap-
pear to be unable to agree on what
kind of federal tax cut is best for the
country’s economy.
The Republicans have a program
that gives a lot of relief to the
“haves” and very little to the “have-
nots.”
The Democrats want to give every-
body the same treatment by increas-
ing the individual exemption from
the present $600 to $700 or $800.
Under the latter program, the
wage- and salary-earners would have
more take-home pay each week, and
could buy more of everything that
there is to buy.
Under the Republican plan, the
big-income people would get most of
the relief, and the money they would
save would be expected (by the Re-
publicans) to trickle down to the
wage-and salary-earners by some
means that isn’t exactly clear to us.

HOUSTON.—A charge of murder
was filed late yesterday against bar-
tender Gustavo Perez, 48, for the
beating death of James D. Greigson,
49, found dead in his small hotel
room yesterday.
The dead man had suffered a frac-
tured skull and cerebral hemorrhage.
Perez said he hit Greigson because
the slain man “cursed me” for not
having any eggs to put in Griegson’s
beer.

Everybody’s talking about sur-

many spuds, too much butter and

This is the only country in the
world with too much food. We are
the only people in the world who
can’t drive home, after work because
there are too many cars.
We eat so much that diet experts
make a good living preaching what
not to eat, and every window is full
of shirts and shoes which anybody
can buy with four hours’ labor.
We’re all weeping and wailing and
wearing the enamel off our good
store teeth, because we’ve got too
much to eat and wear and look at and
enjoy. We’ve got more radios, tele-
visions, homes, cars, telephones,
washing machines and gripers than
we ever had. What a country!—Dal-
