Okay, doctor. But we do wish you’d tell
your stenographer that Abilene is not
spelled Abilene or Abliene.
We can bear the Abliene; it’s not un-
usual—in fact, it’s one of the seven familiar
ways of spelling the name. But that Abilene
sort of got us down.

Stobaugh, local grocer and ranch-
man last year was the first person
in the county to construct a trench
allo on his place about five or six
miles south of the city. This year
he is again first in the construction
of a silo. He is building two and is
using a large tractor and scraper for
the work. The machinery is the
equipment of the Central Colorado
River authority.
Each of the silos is to be 125 feet
long and about eight feet deep and
will be ailed with seeded ribbon

After getting over the shock of having
the foreman tell us that he had found a

we ran across this “lead” in one of our
own paper’s columns:
"The three colleges and high school of
Abilene, along with the business firms, will
observe July 5 by closing their doors in-
stead of July 4, which comes on Sunday.”
Let’s see, now if we’ve got this thing
straight.
"July 4, which comes on Sunday, will be
observed July 5 by three colleges and (1)
high school of Abilene, along with business
firms, by closing.”

Income And Budget
From The New York Times:
The President at his press conference in-
dicated the broad outlines of a policy for
coordinating all Federal benefit programs
with a view to raising the national income.
If such a program is carried out, he believes
that the budget can be balanced automati-
cally without raising the present taxload in
proporation to national income, while all
forms of relief could ultimately be abolish-
ed. In answer to fears about the unbalanced
budget, the Administration in the course of
the last four years has frequently expressed
the hope that a rise in the national income
would increase tax revenue* and bring about
a budget balance. So far, however, these
hopes have proved delusive. In 1936 the esti-
mated national income actually did increase,
as compared with 1933, to the amazing ex-
tent of 52 per cent. Largely as a consequence
of this, Government receipts today are run-
ning at a rate of more than twice the 1933
figure. Had-Federal expenditures remained
at the level they reached in 1933, the bud-
get would today be close to balance. But,
curiously enough, as compared with govern-
mental expenditures in the fiscal year 1933,
those in the current fiscal year have also in-
creased, on the basis of the last official esti-
mate, by 52 per cent. Thus Government ex-
penditures have kept pace even with the ex-
traordinary rapid recovery in the national
income, even though relief needs are now
much lower. Our future financial policy,
hen, must involve either a sharp retrench-
ment in governmental expenditures or a
heroic increase in taxation. We cannot mere,
ly hope for the national income to “catch
up,” especially when, in spite of an aston-
ishing recovery, it has so far shown no signs
of doing so.

nitely has not retired trom politics.
All of which leads up to anoCher-
matter: Recently Ferguson dictated
a little statement of Interest to his
friends and to persons never known
to have supported the “stormy
petrel" of Texas politics.
Two remarks were calculated to
arouse comment and speculation.
One was that while Mrs. Ferguson
had received many letters urging
her to. run for a third term as gov-
ernor she had “no desire to again
meet the rigors of a political cam-
paign." The other was that there
was a “quite well-defined rumor
around Austin" that Governor
James V. Allred would seek a third
term.
With reference to the latter, Fer-
guson said some of Governor All-
red's close friends were "talking
about hl* chances."
It was not the first time a sug-
gestion Allred might want his pres-
ent job for another two years had
been heard, but it was the first time
someone of polltical prominence
had mentioned it publicly. When
asked about his plans for the fu-
ture. the governor's reaction usually
has been to emit a loud laugh.
“Unless there should be some
widespread and general demand
amounting to a public duty to ren-
der a personal service," Ferguson's
statement said, “my wife says that
she is willing to leave the field to
the younger statesmen who are will-
ing to extinguish or distinguish
themselves on the altar of their
country.”
Then he added he did “not look
for any such demand that would
induce my wife to become again a
candidate.”
The statement said the reason so
many person* wanted Mrs. Fergu-
son to run again was heavy spend- .
Ing by federal and state govern-
ment* and it wouldn't be a bad Idea '
if the people had "a dozen candi-
dates to draw from in the next race
for governor."
"What we may fall to get in
brains,” he said, "might be made
up In luck."
Ferguson's statement followed by
a couple of weeks one by F W.
