Two Parties
AUSTIN. Sept' 26- (PP — Dr
Homer P. Rainey in his first po-i
litical comment since his defeat
for governor, today called on
"those interested in the people's
welfare" to keep watch over the 1
officials in power.
"This is the most important
function of a strong, intelligent,
organized minority," Dr. Rainey
declared in a full-page article in |
the current Texas Spectator. He
noted that recent political events
show such a minority exists in j
Texas.
"This minority is a wholesome
influence in Texas politics. This
minority cannot be laughed off
nor can it be disregarded, even
by wise-cracking, do-nothing gov-
ernors. It is essential to the main-
tenance of political balance in this
‘ene-party' state," the former Uni-
versity of Texas president declar-
ed.
"As this minority grows in
strength, and in its realization of
the important place it holds in our
political system, a better and more
_ responsible state government will
result."
Ultimately, Dr. Rainey believes,
a two-party system will result in

A 50x30 concrete tile structure
as an addition to the building is
. now being erected, at an estimated :
cost of around $2,000.
Thomas, who has been in the
furniture business for 11 years,
plans to have the addition finish-
ed in the next two or three weeks,
depending upon availability of ma-
terial and labor.
"The present one-party system
is not only a curse to Texas poli-
tics, but it is very unrealistic. It
is unworkable because it is not in
harmony with the political facts.
Texas is a tremendous state. Its
economic, social, and governmen-
tal interests represent widely dif-
ferent points of view. It is impos-
sible for one political party to rep-
resent such wide differences. The
one party system, therefore, is be-
ing torn asunder by powerful for
ces within itself and by its inabili-
ty to hold these forces together."
Dr. Rainey, who was discharged
from his University of Texas pres-
idency after a long squabble with
the board of regents, said that the
harmony sought by Governor-Nom-
inate Beauford H. Jester in the
recent Democratic convention was I
not achieved.

"It is no longer possible to hold
and anti-Roosevelt Democrats, Tex-1
as Regulars and left wing liberals |
in one political party—at least not
with harmony."
"This one-party" system, what-
ever its merits in the past is rap-
idly passing.” Dr Rainey declared.

"better off now than ever in his-
tory.' Bob Lawrence. Fort Worth
district OPA information executive,
told the Kiwanis club at its lunch
eon at the Wooten hotel Wednes-
day.
“For the first time in war." Law
rence said, "one nation—ours—ac-
tually increased its standard of
living—and that under a control!
ed program.”
He noted “a lot of talk now"
about losing profits that certain
groups would like to keep, but he
observed that practically all busi-
nesses had made more profits dur
ing war time than ever before
Restaurant operators made
whopping big money—and it s true
their costs are up But most of
them probably utilized one oppor-
tunity—to cut portions and make
up for increased coats.
"OPA is in a bind—a careen-
because some controls have been
lifted while others were retained."
He also cited automobile
dealers as having "made more
money on service departments
during the war than they ever
made on new cars."
Lawrence observed that demand
I is still far ahead of production,
.and appealed lur public support to
make price controls work until a
balance between supply and de-
mand makes them unnecessary
Three “soldiers" did "a
phenomenal job” of holding
back inflation in wartime, he
said. He listed wage controls,
rationing and OPA. Now, only
one—price controls— remains,
“and it’s badly battered."
“Congress says thia soldier must
stand and do the best it can until
reinforcements arrive in the form
of production If it works, we stand
a good chance of achieving the
prosperity we like—not breadlines
and WPA." Lawrence declared
Lawrence was introduced by Joe
