TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
AUSTIN—At least 12 weeks
of livly politicking lie ahead
lor Texas.
U. S. Sen. Ralph W. Yarbor-
«ugh laid the chips on the
line and announced as a can-
didate for re election. Since
his opponent will be former
Sen. William Blakely, this ap-
pears to be the hottest race of
the 1958 campaign.
Except for one Supreme
Court justice, all top state of-
ficials are asking re-election.
As the filing, time ended,
inly a few incumbents were
without opposition.
TEC Firing Up&ld
After hearing both sides, the
Merit System Council voted
■unanimously not to interfere
in the Texas Employment
Commission's dismissal of its
legal counsel.
Ousted Attorney Lee G.Wil-
liams said he would appeal to
the courts. Williams was fired
last month by a 2-1 Commis-
sion vote. R. F. Newman, la-
bor representative on the Com-
mission opposed the decision
by Chmn. S. Perry Brown,
public representative, and
Maurice Acers, management
representative.
Brown told the Merit Sys-
tem Council he felt Williams'
personal feelings prejudiced
his legal opinions in favor of
labor. Biased legal advice,
Brown contended, "is proba-
bly worse than none at all."
Williams exhibited legal
opinions he had prepared fa-
vo r * n g management's side.
Newman and three former
Commission members pled on
Williams' behalf.
New Tack on Tidelands
International boundary dis-
cussion at the current Geneva
Conference may dim Texas'
hopes in the tidelands strug-
gle, Atty. Gen. Will Wilson
noted in a recent speech.
Russia wants national boun-
daries to be 12 miles out from
land, Wilson related, and the
U. S. says 3 miles out. Texas,
in a case to be heard by the
IT. S. Supreme Court Oct. 13,
will be trying to protect its
long-standing claim to 10%
miles.
But, said Wilson, "the Uni-
ted States can't plug for a 3-
mile international boundary
and turn around and give
Texas 10 miles." If the 3-mile
boundary sticks, he said, Tex-
as will then ask for oil rights
to the 10-mile limit.
Why It Costs More
Wrap - around windshields
and loads of chrome inevita-
bly mean higher rates for au-
tomobile insurance.
A special legislative com-
mittee investigatinp, auto cov-
erage rates was to'd by State
Insurance Dept. officials that
i:ost£ of both materials and
tabor have gone up. New rates,

to be set next sunnier, prob-
ably will have to go higher,
they said.
In addition to the stagger-\
ing tab for fixing the modern-
day palace - on - wheels, if it
gets smashed, high accident
records boost insurance rates
in a locality.
For instance, said a depart-
ment official, Dallas' accident
rate is only 60 per cent as
high as Houston's. Hence, cov-
erage that costs $18 in Dallas
is $30 in Houston.
"People have to realize," he
said, "that they set their own
rates."
Climbing Costs Seen
Bad news for budget balan-
cers is an official estimate
that state welfare and educa-
tion programs will cost $62,-
000,000 more during 1959-61
than at present.
In studying future spending
needs, a Legislative Budget
Board Committee' noted that:
(1) A constitutional amend-
ment to be voted on next No-
vember will, if approved, add
$9,000,000 to welfare costs.
Proposed amendment would
provide medical care for the
needy.
(2) An increase in the num-
ber of children would proba-
bly up the state's share of the
minimum foundation school
program by $44,000,000. In ad-
dition, the amount in the
available school fund will be
less, creating a need for addi-
tional appropriation.
Committee commentary re-
vived a touchy issue—contin-
ued existence of "small, in-
efficient districts" that might
be consolidated into other dis-
tricts to lower over-alj, costs.
On Courting Business
Growing government and
climbing taxes make a chilly
atmosphere in which to invite
new industries.
This view from present Tex-
as industrialists was present-
ed at a recent hearing of the
Texas Industrial Commission.
Recently re-activated, the In-
dustrial Commission is charg-
ed with finding ways to at-
tract more industry to Texas.
Jim Yancey, spokesman for
the Texas Manufacturers As-
sociation, told the Commis-
sion that good labor-manage-
ment laws and some restraint
on government costs are need-
ed. "Texas is fast losing its
favorable position in compar-
ison with other states in the
area," he said.
Commission members noted
there had been some "misun-
derstanding" by regional
Chambers of Commerce. Com-
mission's purpose, they em-
phasized, is to help, not com-
pete with, such groups.
Rate Battle
An Amarillo insurance firm
has advanced one step in its
battle to block enforcement of
new, lower credit insurance
rates.
An Austin district court
granted! the request of Cos-
mos Life Co. for a temporary
injunction. State Board of In-
surance had ordered a slash
of about 50 per cent in rates
for insurance issued on the
lives of persons getting small
loans.
Attorney general's depart-
ment, which recommended the
change, said old rates were
excessively high. Companies
contend the new ones are
ruinously low.
Court's injunction affects
only Cosmos. Others, unless
they join in the suit, must
abide by the new rates. Until
the case is finally decided,
Cosmos must put in trust
money equal to the difference
between the old and new
rates.
Bail Law Voided
A law passed last year to
regulate bail bondsmen has
been declared unconstitution-
al by the Texas Supreme
Court.
If effective, the law would
require bondsmen, unless they
were attorneys, to be licensed.
One section applied only in
counties of more than 350,000
population, another in coun-
ties of from 73,000 to 100,000
population.
High court pointed out that
the constitution prohibits such
narrow restrictions on laws of
a general nature. Dallas legis-
lators, who sponsored the bill
last session, are reportedly
planning to try again with a
revised version.
Short Snorts
Senate general Investigat-
ing committee has tentatively
set its next hearing for mid
May. TopKt is still hush-h
DREADED MARINE HAZARD DESTROYED-Water and shattered rock erupt from the
effects of 1,375 tons of explosive, one of the largest, non-nuclear blasts in history. The Cana-
dian Department of Public Works set off the explosion to level Ripple Rock, an underwater
hazard in British Columbia's Campbell River that has claimed over 100. lives and destroyed
about 120 ships in the past 100 years. The three-million-dollar project was designed to shat-
ter about 370,000 tons of rock. Wavy lines at right are from rockets fired by scientists test-
ing the explosion's force.
it does not concern insurance.
Investigation has centered in
the Houston area . . . Amid
predictions that the recession
had "flattened out," Texas
unemployment totals seemed
to be leveling off. Latest offi-
cial report showed number
claiming unemployment ben-
efits down from 93,289 to 92,-
596. A state holiday closing
TEC offices for one day might
have effected the drop.

quisition was very efficient
and effected a saving to
Hemphill county and to the
state."
Styner told the court Mon-
day afternoon that several
other counties in the district
have contracts in the process,
but none of them have com-
pleted the necessary details.
Among other Panhandle coun-
ties which arc scheduled to
receive cost-sharing right-of-
way payments from the state
are Deaf Smijh, Randall, Pot-
ter, Armstrong, Gray, Hutch-
inson f.nd Moo'-e.
The $9,163.41 paid to Hemp-
hill county Munday represent-
ed or-e-half of the cost of
right-of-way purchased by the
county for n"W construction
on U S. Highways 60 and 83
from ^anadian to the Roberts
County line . . . but did not
include payment for the cost
of moving u'ility lines. That
payment will be forthcoming
in a short time, Styner said.
Styner was accompanied to
Canad an Monday by J. L.
Payne, chief right-of-way ag-
ent lor the highway depart-
ment district, and Leo Can-
trell, resident engineer, joined
in making the presentation.
This county is also sched-
uled to receive cost-sharing
right-of-way payments from
the state for right-of-way pur-
chased for farm - to • market
construction along the south
river road.

oof ie" sez:
A Good House to Move
We have a real nice three room and bath home that the
owner wants to sell to be moved off.. This house is only a
few years old and is in excellent condition. It would move
real easy and we can sell it to you worth the money. If
you needed a larger home, this can be built on to very
easily. Anyhow, if you have need for a nice small home,
let us show you this one.
Isn't Everything Beautiful?
These last several days have really brought Spring a-
running. The flowers and shrubs are really bloomed out
and the country "has its Sunday Clothes on." I don't know
what is the prettiest—the pastures and wildflowers or
the wheat or just what. Anyhow, we never had things
looking so good in this part of the country. Looks like we
have a couple of good wells fixing to come in soon, lots of
lease money coming in, a bumper wheat crop prospect, lots
oí road work and good cattle prices. Now is sure the time
to do some of the things you have been thinking about all
these lean years.
What Akout Your Home?
If you still haven't bought a home or your present one is
not what you really need, we don't know of a better time
to do something about it. Six months or so ago it was Just
about impossible to get a decent loan on a home but right
now there's plenty of loan money available, both GI and
FHA. We figure that at least 757, of the homes in Cana-
dian are over 30 years old. Are you driving a '57 or '58
model car and living in a 1928 home?
In another week or so. Maclas will have two of the new
homes all completed and the other two very soon after
that. You are going to be pleasantly surprised when you
see these homes completed. They are right up to snuff in
every way. It's hard to see how they can sell you so much
house for the money. Now is the time to get your family
the home you have been needing so long.
We have a couple of older homes that we can make you
a real attractive deal on. A small down payment and it
won't be long till you have your home paid for. So, regard-
less of what your problem is about a home, come by and
see us. Well betcha we can figure out something you
«rill be interested in.
Be Sure and Insure
It's still rather surprising how often you hear about some-
one having a wreck and not being insured. Some friends
of ours are in a law suit now. On top of that, many people
who do have lnsuranco are carrying less than half enough
to protect their possible loss. No more than insurance
costs, it's very foolish not to be protected.
Some of you wheat farmers will be surprised to learn that
you can now buy Hail Insurance, with fire insurance as
well, for only $66.50 per SI.000. It's been a long time since
you've had a prospect like this and maybe you ought to
Insure and Be Sure. Naturally, we would recommend that
you Insure with us.
