Congressman Pickle sup-

independence from gov-

that US ports are still wide
open to foreign beef, he
said, “Congress’firstprior-

It is time, he went on, that

INDEPENDENT
CONVENE IN
The first annual conven-
tion of the Independent Cat-
tlemen’s Association of
Texas, Inc. (IC A) was held
recently in Austin. Over
1500 ranchers from 15 dist-
ricts across the state met
to determine means of im-
proving present conditions
in the cattle industry.
Among special speakers
were Gov. Dolph Briscoe,
Congressman J. J. (Jake)
Pickle and Texas Commis-
sioner of Agriculture John
C. White.
Gov. Briscoe praised I.
C.A’s strong stand in seek-
ing to protect the independ-
ent rancher, stressing the
importance of individual
responsibility in seeing that
government reflects the
needs of the people. As an
example, the Governor re-
ferred to IC A, backed H.B.
1535, the “open space” bill,
which provides that agricul-
tural land be taxed on what
it will produce, rather than
on its real value ( a bill
which he signed into law with
T. A. Cunningham present.)
Following the Governors
address, Commissioner
White gave his enthusiastic
endorsement to the cattle
men’s position, comparing
the present plight of beef
producers to that suffered
by independent oil produc-
ers a few years ago.
“If America is to survive”
he warned, “it will be nec-
essary for this nation’s
food machine to survive. And
that means you, the livestock
producer and the rancher.”
White praised ICA and the
work of President T. A.
Cunningham of Goliad in
taking swift action toward
organization of a strong
voice for the rancher in the
past nine months.
