The Texas Five-Year Plan
(From the Matagorda County Citizen)
One of the best suggestions we have heard in
quite some time is that of Tieutenant Governor
Walter Woodul, ndvocating a five-year advertising
izing; and the tourist crop is the bumper crop.
Old Man Texas can sit on his haunches and let
Nature take her course and increase population
10 per cent in ten years, or he can bestir himself
and acquaint the- world with his wares and in-
crease her population’020 per cent in five yeata.
Mr. Woodul says:
“Texas is so large and her possibilities are so
varied I feel the state should undertake a tve-year
advertising and publicity program of not lea than
a million dollars a year. The direct return from
increased gasoline tax would more than repay the
investment. To do this will require a constitu-
tional amendment and I shall propose, urge and
work for same at the coming regular session of
the legislature to the end that Texas may speedily
make the most, of her possibilities.
“By, advertising herself, Texas has had the world
singing ‘The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You' this
year, but after this year, will other states ibe say-
ing that "Texas was Cinderella for a day"? When
the silk flags have ceased fluttering along the Es-
planade of State, when the Casa Manana show is
over, when the last Centennial-year visitor has
had his look at the Alamo and the missions and

It is at this period in the child’s
life that he develops permanent
personality characteristics. It is
also at this period that some par-
ents become so exasperated and
lose patience with their children.
Here is where the question arises: .
"Probblem Children, or Problem
Parents’”
If you keep threatening to pun-
ish a child for being "bad” and
don’t keep your word, it is natural
for your child to take advantage
of you. He doesn't know whether
to believe you or not, and children
are quick to sense insincerity. If
you scream and rant and rave,
can you expect your child to be
calm and poised? Using "fear”
to train little children makes them
fearful children. Try teaching ' -
them confidence and courage with
full understanding of the advant-
ages of good behavior. Let them
know that Mother and Dad are
friendly and understanding.
So important is the training of
a child in the formative years,
that the fundamental analysis
dates back to that period. Many
complexes, phobias, mental and
nervous disorders can be traced
to childhood.
There are problem children. Ev-
ery teacher or anyone who deals
intimately with children knows
that. But, quite often, they are
the result of problem parents. If
you would understand your child,
put yourself in his place and you
will see that he is entitled to fair
consideration.

Statesmanship
Veteran observers here com-
mented universally upon the high
order of statesmanship which the
ril commission chairman dis-
played in presenting his case to
the people. Thompson's final
speech at- Greenville was Pro-
nounced by many here as “one of
the finest and most statesman-
like public utterances heard in
Texas in many years.
Immediately talk, filtered through
to Austin from Col. Thompson’s
friends throughout the state of the
possibility of drafting the fight-
ing colonel as a gubernatorial
candidate two years hence. If that
should happen, the hard-fought
campaign just finished would
prove a most valuable asset to the
red-head, from Amarillo. It has
given him experience, it has given
him a glorious opportunity td
familiarize the people with a real
record of public service, and it has
given him confidence by returning
him a one-sided victor in a bitter-
contested battle.

Insurance Rates
Texas users of compensation In-
surance are hinting that the state
insurance department, by grant-
ing what they term "excessive"
rate increases to insurance com-
panies, are going to drive large
employers to formation of their
own companies for mutual. pro-
tection. The Insurance companies
have nnder way a drive to get
rate increases ranging up to 40
per cent in Texas on this type of
business. A similar situation in
Michigan last year resulted in
groups of large employers in that
state forming their own companies
and reducing the premiums by as
much as one-half On the heels
of compensation rate Increases last
sprng, and a Mg increase in per-
sonal Injury- Habilitz rates last
year, the commission now is con-
sidering a request by these com-
panies for further, increases of 40
per cent on commercial vehicles
and 20 per cent for -owners of
private cars. Protestants have
been given three weeks to file
bhiefs, with little indication the

Consulting Psychologist
The child first begins to learn
while in the cradle. He discovers
that, when he is'hungry or un-
comfortable, if he cres his mother
or nurse will soon attend to his
needs.
He may learn that the harder
he cries the quicker he will re-
ceive attention and, thereby, learn
to be a persistent fighter, or per-
haps he may become a stubborn
fighter. It is possible that he
learns that crying has no effect
and learns to be prudently patient.
On the other hand he may just
"quit," and develop a passive, dis-
interested attitude. One cannot
generalize with children or hu-
man beings. Each has his own
personality traits; no two react
the same in any given experience.
Nevertheless, children in the
formative years form ideals and
ere highly sensitized to their en-
vironment and training. AIs it un-

as ideals? Their parents taught

for the public, wide-sweeping remedial
laws have made it impossible for banking
olficials to engage in many of the -pecu-
Hative ventures which formerly ended so
disastrously. The Roosevelt administra-
tin hs sponsored . numerous important
measures along this line—among them, tae
divorcing of commereial from investment
banking and the depositors’ insurance law.
What is equally important, sane and
far-seeing leaders of the banking fratern-
ity have sponsored a new feeling of banker
responsibility toward the public. These
leaders are cooperating with federal and
state, authorities in promoting sound bank-
ing practices.
The result of these- laws and this re-
form from within are apparent in renewed
public confidence toward the banks. The
tide of criticism which mounted to cres-
cendo during the latter part of the Hoo-
