Loan Plan Disapproved . . .
Third Court of Civil Appeals has
held the certificate plan used by
some loan companies is unconsti-
tutional.
Loan companies involved in the
test case are expected to appeal
to the State Supreme Court.
Under the certificate plan, the
borrower of $100 would agree to
repay his loan through monthly
payments on an investment cer-
tificate for $110. This, according
to the Attorney General’s Depart-
ment, forces the borrower to pay
more than the permitted 10 per
cent interest because the interest
does not drop as he pays off the
principal.
Loan companies, which won the
first round in district court, con-
tend that the same procedure is
used by banks,, saving and loan as-
sociations and other lending insti-
tutions.
Attorney General’s Department
replied that there is no specific
provision prohibiting other institu-
tions from computing interest in
this manner.

trains blocked a Dallas street.
However, the high court repeat-
ed, with emphasis, its belief that
the district court order is void and
“no trial judge will attempt to
enforce” it.
Dallas Dist. Judge Jack Thorn-
ton sentenced M-K-T President W.
N. Deramus to 240 days in jail and
levied a $4,000 fine because Katy
trains blocked a street for more
than five minutes at a time, again-
st the judge’s order. Since then,
an underpass was begun.
Deramus, a St. Louis, Mo., resi-
dent, has sought to avoid coming
to Texas to appear in Thornton’s
court despite the Supreme Court’s
reassurances. Thornton has de-
clared he would put the railway
executive in jail.

Texas News Briefs . . .
Texas permanent school fund
now totals $413,231,236, according
to a report to the State Board of
Education. Fund is built up by
revenue from mineral lease bon-
uses, rentals and oil and gas roy-
alties on public lands set aside for
schools. Only the income from in-
vestment of the fund can be spent.
A record number of Texans have
qualified themselves to vote this
year. State Comptroller Bob Cal-
vert estimates that poll taxes plus
exemptions will total 2,559,000.
This compares to 2,410,000 in 1956.
Prices received for Texas farm
and ranch products increased two
per cent last month, said the Texas
Crop and Livestock Reporting Ser-
vice, but were nine per cent below
a year ago.

Johnson for President
(Editorial)
The office of President of the
United States is both a high honor
and an awesome responsibility. It
is the one office above all others
in our Democratic system for
which the people should seek the
man.
Throughout our nation, Lyndon
B. Johnson of Texas has been
singled out—by editors, by writers,
by government leaders, by the peo-
ple themselves—as the ablest man
of them all for the Presidency.
Since Lyndon Johnson is the
ablest of them all, as we believe
him to be, then we feel that the
American people should call Lyn-
don Johnson to the Presidency.
Lyndon Johnson is devoted to his
country and to his fellow men. He
could not say no.
On May 7, every Texans will
