RECORD, Canadian, Hemphill County, Texas
THURSDAY, JAN. 22, 1939
you losing...
... your citizenship?
pHANCES are about 50-50 at this moment
that, if you are a citizen of Hemphill coun-
ty, you haven't paid your poll tax yet.
In less than ten days, if you don't rectify
that situation, you'll no longer be a full-
fledged citizen . . . but just an on-looker.
Saturday, January 31, is the deadline.
After that date, if you're still minus a poll
tax receipt (and not qualified by age for an
exemption) you're going to be in somewhat
the same situation as the prisoners down at
Huntsville . . . with one difference: you'll be
on the outside looking in. But neither of you
will be able to cast a vote.
You're apt to find yourself on the outside

How much is
your time worth?
(From the Industrial News Review)
TJOW MUCH does it cost to feed your family?
That question can be accurately answered
only by considering two kinds of "spending."
One is money. The other is time.
A booklet prepared by the editorial staff of
"Everywoman's Family Circle" in co-operation
with the National Association of Food Chains
tells an interesting story. According to gov-
ernment figures, home prepared meals for a
family of four for one day average $4.90 in
cost and takes 5.5 hours of the housewife's
time. Partly prepared meals cost $5.80 and
takes 3.1 hours of time. And ready to serve
meals cost $6.70 and requires 1.6 hours of
time.
In other words, if the housewife does all her
own preparing, the meals will cost about a
third less than if she uses the ready to serve
types. But she will have to devote well over
three times as many hours to the cooking
task.
What it comes down to, as the booklet puts
it, is "how much is your time worth?" The
tremendous increase in demand for partly and
wholly prepared foods indicates that great
numbers of housewives put high value on their
time.
looking in at a lot of affairs during the year,
and you won't be able to do anything about
them.
There are elections coming up . . . important
elections. This is the year to elect school board
and city commission members for sure . . .
and chances are good that before the year is
out there'll be other election issues coming up
which you'll want to have a hand in.
If you haven't paid your poll tax, and don't
get it done before the deadline, you may as
well forget about these things, because you
won't be able to do anything about 'em.
In Texas, whether you like it or not, you're
only a second class citizen (along with con-
victed criminals and the insane) unless you
shell out that $1.75 every year to keep your
poll tax in good standing.
Do it today, before It's too late. You'll be
glad that you did before the year is over.

Filibusters would be short . . .
... if senators had to listen
| YNDON Johnson's big "compromise" settle-
ment of the U. S. Senate dispute over fili-
buster rules reminds us of the classic story of
the hen-pecked husband who declared that he
and his wife successfully compromised all
their marital disputes by "doing it her way."
The old Senate rules required a two-thirds
vote of all senate members to shut off debate.
Senator Johnson's "compromise" requires only
a two-thirds vote of all senators present to
do the job.
About the only difference this is likely to
make in filibuster situations may be to make
more senators stay in the chamber to listen
to the filibusterer ... to guard against a
"sneak attack" by a handful of insurgents.
And, come to think of it, this might result in
a more effective anti-filibuster bill than the
wily Lyndon intended. If at least one third of
the Senate has to sit around the Senate cham-
ber through long hours of speech-making to
guard against a shut-off vote by the other
two-thirds, this itself might tend to shut off
unlimited debate.
If a filibusterer's parliamentary supporters
were required to actually sit and listen to their
champion, there'd be a lot less enthusiasm for
the maneuver.
A lot of Senators are perfectly willing to let
a fellow solon talk for days on end . . . pro-
vided they don't have to stay around and
listen to him do it.

Comptroller Calvert . . .
... is a lovable man!
OTATE Comptroller Robert Calvert obviously
believes in Santa Claus!
Comptroller Calvert has been registering in-
jured innocence all over the place down Aus-
tin way ever since a state senate investigating
committee began delving into some $28,000
worth of cash "Christmas gifts" presented to
Calvert by his state employees during the
past ten years.
Mr. Calvert says the gifts totalled only
$15,000 and anyhow they were just evidence of
the great love his employees have for their
boss.
Mr. Calvert must be a very lovable character
indeed.
We hope he has a chance to exhibit some of
his most lovable traits for the next grand
jury.

Charlie Beaston's Canadian
Wildcat basketball team isn't
likely to win any champion-
ships this year, but they are
likely, at any time, to upsst
some championship contend-
ers or. at the very least, toss
a good fright into 'em.
With Merland Clapper the
only returning regular from
last year's team, Coach Beas-
ton took on a big building job
for his freshman year at
coaching; but his cagers have
been showing rapid improve-
ment since the opening of the
season. What's more, we think
he's done a bang-up good job,
and we haven't heard any
fans complaining.
The Wildcat cage team,
sadly lacking experience, isn't
the moat polished outfit we've
ever seen on a basketball
court . . . but it certainly
rates as one of the most en-
thusiastic, and gives the fans
a good show and the oppos-
ing team a fast run for the
game.
According to Frank X. Tol-
bert in The Dallas News, a
railroad station agent at Buf-
falo, Texas, one Bill Ingram,
has been carrying on a per-
sonal crusade for the past
decade to make the first week
of each year "Be Kind to Pol-
iticians Week."
"I just think that politi-
cians have a heap rougher
time than most folks real-
ize." Ingram says. "They're
always being cussed. And
most of their mail is from
people complaining or asking
for something. So I Just sit
down and write letters of ap-
preciation to people like Lyn-
don Johnson and Olin Teague
and Sam Ray bum. And I wire
them flowers. I even sent old
Jack Porter some kind words
and a boquet when he was
having such a rough time as
Republican committeeman for
Texas here a while back."
The important thing is that
Mr. Ingram is not a lobbyist
. . . he's just a plain ordi-
nary citizen . . . and he does-
n't accompany his boquets
with requests for political fa-
vors. But we'll bet if he ever
does want to ask one, he'll
have a lot better chance of
getting it than some of the
high pressure boys.
We think his political phil-
osophy is a pretty good one.
Most of us, if we ever write
our lawmakers at all, do so
only when we have a com-
plaint to make or some action
to demand. Our complaints
might carry more weight if
we took the trouble, also, to
toss them some posies . . .
verbal ones, at least ... when
they do something we like.
Come to think of it, this
wouldn't be a bad policy to
try on our friends and neigh-
bors at home . . . whether
they're in politics or not. It
might have a remarkable ef-
fect on community relations.
"A man can mend his
ways," says the Second Street
Philosopher, "but ifs difficult
to do it so the patches won't
show."
It's about time to publish
the high school honor rolls
again, which reminds us that
Principal Johnny Cardinal has
been threatening to furnish
us with a copy of the "failure
roll" instead. Johnny says it's
equally impressive, which we
suspect is an understatement.
Bet the "F" roll would at-
tract a lot more attention
than the honor roll. One of
these bright spring days when
the highways out of town
aren't icy we might try it!
There's a building boom in
sight for Canadian. Bill Part-
letfs crew over at Canadian
Lumber Company are in the
middle of an extensive re-
modeling program, and are
going to have one of the fan-
ciest building - supply show-
rooms in this part of the

Here's Why Scribes Resented
Jesus' Accusations
It is always safe to speak
against sin theoretically.
It is only when one gets
down to personalities and ca-
ses that sinners get nasty and
strike back.
In the vigorous denuncia-
tion of sin, Jesus got down to
both personalities and cases.
When He spoke of hypocrisy
He named the Scribes and the
Pharisees, the then official
representatives and establish-
ed authorities of religion. He
attacked their specific acts of
hypocrisy and evil-doing.
Those who had not erred
had no cause for resentment,
but there were many to whom
His words applied.
"He taught them as one
authority, and not as their
Scribes." Those words mark a
strange fact and a striking
contrast.
The Scribes were officially
and ostensibly the repository
of authority, the interpreters
of the law; yet here was a
young man with no official
standing, presuming to teach,
and finding a response in the
people who heard Him gladly.
But authority alone does not
necessarily guarantee either
honesty or efficiency in those
who possess it
The mistake that the Scribes
made was twofold: first, in
not being and doing what by
their claim of authority they
professed to be and do; sec-
ond, in their failure to judge
Jesus by what He was and
did.
Their errors gave rise to
their resentment.
the building business, and
are getting ready for action.
The new telephone compa-
ny building will be started
soon, and dial phones are
coming before the year's out.
Magnolia's big downtown su-
perservice station at the cor-
ner of Main and Second is
well underway . . . and bids
have already been opened for
the new Reid Chevrolet build-
ing which will adjoin it on
the north. Arnold Johnson has
crews at work tearing down
the remaining walls of the
old high school building and
has building plans in the
"thinking stage" for that lo-
cation, adjoining the present
Johnson Grocery building.
There'll be more to come.
This should be a building
year for Canadian . . . and it
could be the best business
year in a decade. Get set.
