NOW THAT THE OLD Age Pen-
sion amendment has carried,
the multiplied thousands of voters
who favored the pension are being
treated to some surprises. For in-
stance, the 70-year old citizen who
thought that the pension was not
only immediately payable, but who
applied to his county authorities
for five years’ back payment, since
-he was five years past the pre-
cribed 65-year age.
p * * *
The special session of the State
Legislature will tackle this prob-
lem, and if advance expressions
are any criterion, then the pensions
are most certain to be limited to
those citizens 65 years of age or
over, who are indigents, or not
self-supporting. And here’s the
joker in that—a survey shows that
in the more thickly-populated sec-
tions of East, North-East and
South-East Texas, a large propor-
tion of the 65-year old and over in-
digents are negroes.
Meanwhile, C. C. Winningham,
member of the Texas Legislature,
in a column contributed to the
Fredericksburg Radio-Post, makes
the following barbed comment:
“A lot of dust has been kicked
up in favor of old-age pensions,
but no voice has been raised in
favor of pensioning blind people,
cripples who are totally incapaci-
tated, and widowed mothers who
are struggling to feed their
broods. They are the forgotten
needy. God help them; the poli-
ticians haven’t and won’t.”
FURTHERMORE, THE GRAND
Panjandrum of the Brownwood
Bulletin Supper Table is again
proffering his services in building
a highway between the Pecan
Bayou city and Brady, the pulsat-
ing heart o’ Texas. The Grand
Panjandrum and politicians have
this in common, that they promise
much and perform little; in fact
the Bulletin editor usually per-
forms in reverse. Look at High-
way 23—what a help he has turn-
ed out to be!
Says he in a recent pronuncia-
mento:
“Meanwhile, we have offered
Harry Schwenker a dry weather
campaign if he will postpone his
Heart of Texas Press Associa-
tion convention for a week or
so, or maybe two weeks will
be required to dehydrate the
highways so the journalists can
reach his city. It will be a
pleasure to help him out of his
difficulty if he is amenable to
reason.”
y auce’s recommendation is that
"McCulloch county use the dehy-
drated editorials of the Brown
county scribe as paving blocks on
Highway 23; they should make a
splendid all-weather thorofare, al-
tho travelers would be inclined to
become deathly sea-sick, we fear.
AND, SINCE THE MATTER has
been mentioned, we are now pre-
pared to give the real reason for
postponement of the Heart o' Tex-
as Press Meet in Brady last week.
It was not, as some might have
supposed, because of rains, floods,
or impassable roads. It was a
stroke of generalship on our part,
to prevent Joe Pouns, Coleman wa-
ter conservationist, from carrying
out his threat of coming to Brady
and carrying Lake Brady back
home with him in his vest pocket.
***
Lake Brady was really in no posi-
tion to go a-visiting, since she was
all riled up over the recent rains,
and besides was considerably mud-
bound. Of course, Joe, being an
bold hard-bitten bachelor, would
hardly have noticed the difference,
but just the same, we’re going to
have Lake Brady’s face all wash-
ed clean and smilin' when Joe
comes over here attempting to
kid our lake into being kidnaped.
Another reason for the Press post-
ponement is to give Roland Hol-
ford, the able Hico alderman, plen-
ty of time to dictate a letter to
his private stenographer advising
us whether or no he accepts our
invitation—and hospitality.
Then there’s Doc Sellers—he’s a
reason, too. For once ir his nev-
er-excited life, Doc was anxious to
come down to Brady and strut his
stuff on the Brady golf course.
Doc just knew he had the Press lov-
ing cup in the bag—or maybe it
was in the 18th hole. And while
Sauce holds no prejudices against
Doc, he just couldn’t help but want
Hervey Mayes to retain possession
of that cup a little while longer.
(Parenthetically, we think Hervey
is a mighty nifty golfer, especial-
ly since he shot a stroke or two be-
hind Sauce when he came to Bra-
ady Sunday before the big flood).
— SAUCE IS GOING to call in the
Press bunch for the delayed
meeting, possibly the early part of
October. In the meantime, he
warns them all to put their alibis
on cold storage, get the rheuma-
tism out of their best dancing
foot, shine up the golf sticks and
polish up on the game—and then
come to Brady for a first-class
educational get-together. When
Ray Nichols and Sam Ashburn and
Carl Blasig all get to expounding,
visiting newspapermen are going
to have absorb some wisdom,
whether they will or they won’t.

40 Candidates Training
For Brady High Team; To
Open Season Here Sept.
20, With Goldthwaite
A fast and shifty backfield, with
a mediocre line that should develop
with each game, is the way the
Brady High School football is
sized up from the first week's
glimpse of the more than 40 can-
didates out for practice each after-
noon. Most of the boys are in
good condition, however, since
they either attended Camp Billy
Gibbons, or have been working on
farm and ranches.
The Bulldogs this year, winner
of third place in District 18-B
championship race last season, will
average about 156 pounds per
man. Though there are six let-
termen returning for duty, Captain
John McLean will likely be of lit-
the use for several weeks He ac-
cidentally split his left foot open
while chopping wood a few weeks
ago, and it will be a month yet
before he will be able to don a
uniform. McLean’s loss during the
early part of the season will be
sorely felt, since he is fast and ag-
gressive with lots of natural abil-
ity, and last year, his first, was
one of the outstanding ends of the
district. Because of his speed, he
was being counted on for a back-
field berth this year.
But Coaches Earl Rudder and
Russ Holland are over supplied
with crack backfield men. True,
there are only two men in the
group who have previously lettered
from play in the rear cordon, but
new material, together with the
fact that Wilburn Jacobson, hefty
guard of 1933, who was ineligible
last year, has been shifted to
backfield, makes this department
overshadow the line. Jacobson,
who tips the scales at 170 pounds,
should rank with the best defen-
sive men in the district. He is apt
to make a line backer, the sort that
Brady hasn’t seen in several sea-
sons,
Co-Captain Clyde Hall, Jr., will
likely do the signal barking, ac-
cording to the Brady mentors, and
in addition, will do lots of the ball

C. L. Tate To Erect
New Brick Building
A beautiful brick store building,
size 40 by 50 feet, will be con-
structed on the old G. C. Kirk
home site at the intersection of
South Bridge and Eleventh streets,
at an expenditure of approximate-
ly $4,000, by C. L. Tate, who will
move his South Side Grocery and
Market into the building upon com-
pletion.
Workmen have begun removing
the residence on lot, where an at-
tractive suburban store will stand.
The store will face east on Bridge,
and the south side will extend
back 15 feet with plate glass win-
dows. A drive-in front will be
constructed for the convenience of
patrons.
Mr. Tate has operated South
Side Grocery for the past four
years at the head of South Black-
burn street, during which time he
has served a large patronage,
which has increased yearly, neces-
sitating improvements in keeping
with growing Brady. In his new
store, he will continue to have as
his assistants, Lewis Rainwater as
clerk, and Hub Mooring as mar-
ket man.
Tate, who came here from Co-
manche several years ago, former-
ly was manager of the local Hig-
ginbotham Lumber Company.

Representative W. H. Adkins Gives Views On
Old Age Pension, Liquor Tax and Regulation
W. H. Adkins, who will leave
Sunday for Austin to take up his
duties at the special session of the
State Legislature, called by Gover-
nor James V. Allred, has well-
formed views upon the subject of
old age pensions, and also upon
state liquor control, two of the sub-
jects submitted for consideration
by Gov. Allred at the special ses-
sion. Adkins, who is Representa-
tive of the 93rd district of Texas,
composed of McCulloch, San Saba
and Lampasas counties, gave out
the following statement of his
views yesterday:
The Old Age Pension amendment
carried by an overwhelming ma-
jority in the state and received a
4 to 1 majority in my district and
I shall favor putting it in opera-
tion at once. As a matter of course
it will be necessary to levy a tax
to take care of the increase in ex-
pense that will be occasioned by
the pension, but a general sales
tax will not be necessary nor will
an increase in the advalorem tax.
I shall oppose either of these, I
am now, as heretofore, opposed to
a general sales tax, and we all
know the advalorem tax is now
too high.
The logical initial step, as a mat-
ter of course, is to decide what re-
strictions are to be made, just who
shall receive a pension, and then
the amount that will have to be
raised can be estimated with a de-
gree of intelligence. Until that is
done an estimate is nothing more
than wild speculation. Many pet
theories have been advanced and
given publicity, but from my view-
point very few, if any of them, are
worthy of serious consideration. I
shall also oppose requiring the
recipient of the pension being
forced to take a pauper’s oath.
That is not the intent of the law,
and such a requirement would be
unjust and unfair.
If properly handled the liquor
tax will be the means of raising
around $5,000,000 per annum, but
the $10,000,000 per annum, talked
of before the election last month is
far in excess of the amount that it
will yield. I shall favor a state
monopoly plan, the sale of liquor in
unbroken packages only, and a
drastic penalty for permitting
drinking on the premises where
sold.

Dallas and Fort Worth
Want Highway No. 23
Dallas and Fort Worth are both
interested in seeing a thru paved
route via Brady into the Hext-
London-Junction trade Territory.
A recent letter sent out by R. A.
Thompson, head of the Highway
department of the Dallas Chamber
of Commerce, advocating a thru
route from Dallas via Waxahachie
and Brady to connect with the
Hext-London-Junction territory,
and on thru to Del Rio, h's result-
ed in Chas. G. Gotten, a charge
of Highway department of the
Fort Worth Chamber of Com-
merce, writing a letter to Mr.
Thompson, suggesting that Fort
Worth was also interested in such
a route, and suggesting a meeting
at Brady at an early date in fur-
therance of the highway.

BOND VOTE ON
OCTOBER 12
Commissioners Court Acts
On Petition; To Provide
Funds for Highway 23
ROW North-South, and 74
The McCulloch county Commis-
sion Court, acting upon petition
of G. R. White and 277 others, has
called an election, to be held on
Saturday, October 12th, for the
purpose of voting upon the au-
thorization of #60,000 bonds, with
which to purchase right-of-way on
Highway No. 23 from Brady to
the Colorado River at the Brown
county line, for acquiring the bal-
to the Menard county line.
The bonds would bear interest
at a rate not to exceed 5% per
annum, and would mature serially
over a period of 30 years. A 6c
tax would be required to provide
interest and sinking fund for re-
tiring of the bonds. A two-thirds
majority is necessary to carry the
bond election.
All property tax-paying voters
of McCulloch county, who have
rendered property for taxation, are
qualified to vote in the election,

INCREASE IN
ENROLLMENT
There will be no change in the
McCulloch county tax rate for the
year 1935, the levy remaining the
same as last year, viz: 88c. Neces-
sity of making a levy of 5c for
Court House Bonds, which must be
retired within the next three years,
together with the fact that the tax
rolls had virtually been completed,
resulted in the Commissioners
Court deciding to make no change
in the tax levy.
October 1st is the dead line set
by the state for completion of
county tax rolls, and Wiley W.
Walker, assistant to Assessor-Col-
lector John C. Moffatt, had virtu-
ally completed the making up of
the tax rolls, when word was re-
ceived from the Attorney-General
invalidating the $25,000 road bond
issue, and ordering the 1926 Re-
funding Bonds levied against the
Road and Bridge fund. As it is,
the Commissioners Court feels cer-
tain that it will be enable next
year, on the face of present state-
ment of the county’s affairs, to
make a 3c reduction in tax rate,
even tho the $60,000 road bond
election, called for October 12th,
is carried.
Apportionment of the county
tax rate is as follows:
Jury Fund ____________________$ .05

Road and Bridge Special Fund .15
General Fund _____________ .25
Permanent Improvement Fund .19

The subsidy will be the differ-

Doole Man In Auto
Accident Near Death
The Brady schools got off to an
auspicious start here this week,
despite that the fore part of the
week was disagreeable, and that
roads in many parts of the rural
communities were almost impass-
able from the incessant rainfall all
last week.
A total of 990 students had been
enrolled in the high and three ward
schools Thursday afternoon, ac-
cording to figures compiled by the
principals. There was an enroll-
ment of 295 in th high school;
265 in South ward; 255 in Central
ward; and 175 in North ward.
These opening week figures are
unusually large, showing an in-i
crease over those of last year.
A brief program was given at
each school, Monday morning, with
registration beginning soon there-
after, and continuing until mid-
week. School activities will begin
just as soon as the students be-
come settled, and the routine is
worked out. Meantime, football
practice is being held each after-
noon at the new high school ath-
letic field, with some 40 candidates
out for the team.
Two teachers, who had previous-
ly been elected, Miss Mildred Gif-
ford librarian for the past three
years, and B. R. Cockrell of Mis-
sion, resigned the past week,
with Miss Bonnie McAfee being
named to succeed Miss Gifford and
Miss Winnie McAnelly to succeed
Mr. Cockrell, who went to Borger.
Miss Gifford accepted the position
of librarian in Corpus Christi High
School.
The office is recruiting particu-
larly for the Second Medical Regi-
ment, although applications for
any branch of the service will be
taken. They will recruit in towns
within a radius of 60 miles of Bra-
dy during the 18 day period.
Recruits enlisted yesterday in-
clude the following: Hershel L.
Doyle and Lester L. Parker, Bra- lege in Missouri; Robert
dy; Weldon M. Short and Floyd will enroll i -
Tedder, Lohn, and Charles L. Wat-
son and Willard U. Jackson, Rock-
wood.

I Court Cancels $25,000 Issue
At their regular session thia
week, the Commissioners Court al-
so passed orders cancelling all
orders pertaining to the $25,000
road bond issue voted last July
for the purpose of purchasing
right-of-way on Highway 23 north
from Brady. This issue was in-
validated by the Attorney-Gener-
al’s ruling that McCulloch coun-
ty’s #111,000 Refunding Bonds of
1926 must be taken care of out of
the Road and Bridge fund, and not
by special tax levy, as had been
the case ever since the refunding
bonds were issued.
The new #60,000 road bonds,
therefore, are designed to take the
place of the invalidated #25,000
road bond issue, and the increased
amount of the bonds will enable

Ehlinger Says Bonds
Not Delay Contract
A letter to County Judge Evans
J Adkins from Leo Ehlinger, di-
vision engineer, at Brownwood,
written under date of September
10th, advises that necessity of
calling another bond election in
order to provide rights-of-way,
will not affect or delay the con-
struction of Highway No 23. Mr.
Ehlinger’s letter follows:
“This will acknowledge receipt
of your letter of September 9th,
calling attention to the fact that
your previous bond issue, proceeds
from which were to be used in
buying right-ofway on Highway
No. 23 from Brady to the Colora-
do River, had been disapproved by
the Attorney General and that you
were calling another bond elec-
tion and feel sure that this elec-
tion will be carried.

disapproval of your previous bonds

that you and your court would
