)eep In the Heart
of Texas
By Sassfrass Sam
OOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"A little non-sense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men."
But what about non-sense all
the time? I buy a newspaper, the
War is in progress, eagerly I scan
the head-lines to see how our
boys are coming in this' great
global struggle for survival.
What do I see as outstanding
news head-lines? Something like
this. "Bears Trounce the Hogs,"
"McDuff Stars in Long Heave to
Home," "Zebras meet the Coy-
otes Tonight, Played last night to
a packed gallery, thousands turn-
ed away." "Lefty Martingale tells
Owl Cagers how he did it. En-
thusiastic audience hears this
great tennis star ..." And away
off in a remote corner of the
paper I read "Bib Push Starts On
Western Front." Now that's what
I was looking for all the time and
why, oh why, do I have to look So
hard to find this important news,
by-passed over into one corner by
this big-time stuff like sports and
foolishness.
You can't blame the newspaper
publisher, he's only giving the
readers what they want and de-
mand, the Hot Stuff they like
best.
No doubt I was born thirty
years too soon, this realization is
forced to my attention almost
daily but what I want to know, if
everybody goes crazy over sports
and immaterial things, whose go-
ing to remain to work, make
these crops, feed and slop these
hogs?
Please answer. Adios,
Your friend,
Sassfrass Sam of Texas.

Internal Revenue
Collector Reminds
Of March 15 Return
Frank Scofield, Collector of
Internal Revenue, cautioned tax-
payers today not to confuse pend-
ing tax legislation in Congress
with the 1946 income tax returns
which must be filed not later
than March 15 by every person
who had $500 or more income last
year.
The Collector pointed out that,
if any changes are made in the
tax laws, the changes will apply
only to 1947, and therefore will
not alter in any way the filing of
last year's return due by March
15.
For 1946, a return is required
by March 15 from every per-
son who had $500 or more in-
comp, regardless of all other cir-
cumstances (except, of course,
members of the armed forces still
overseas.) Returns are required
even though part or all the tax
has been paid by withholding.

Car Stolen From
Mexiaites Used
In Robbery Spree
Buddy and Eva Jo Dixon have
their car back in Mexia, after
it had been used by a 17 year
old youth in a three county rob-
bery spree.
Buddy and his sister, Eva Jo.,
had their car stolen from them
in Waco on the night of February
-15th. They had left the car at
a parking lot on Austin Avenue.
The next that they heard of
the car was when the Waco Police
Department notified them of the
recovery of the stolen car.
The boy who stole the car was {
arrested at West Sunday night
by a special deputy Sheriff. The
youth, when taken to Waco for
questioning, admitted a series of
burglaries that began when he
stole a package of cigarets from
the back of an auto three months
ago. In a signed statement the
boy told of burglarizing "about
10 or 12 houses" in McLennan,
Bell and Williamson Counties.
He said he stole the auto that
was wrecked Sunday from a
parking lot in Waco. He then
drove to Mart,, his statement
said, and there stole a license
plate. He substituted this plate
for the tag on the Dixon car in
an effort to escape detection.
Part of the loot found in the car
when the youth was captured
was identified as items taken in
Temple robberies.

limestone County Bond Issue
The following letter is being carried in the pages of the Mexia
Weekly Herald in an attempt to clarify the purpose of the proposed
bond issue, upon which the citizens of Limestone County will vote
on Saturday, March 22. We feel that the letter thoroughly outlines
the proposed road-development plan, and we again offer to attempt
to procure an answer on any of the proposed program, if you will
send in your question to this office.
Groesbeck, Texas,
February 28, 1947.
Dear Mr. Taxpayer:
The Commissioners' Court of Limestone County upon a peti-
tion of 165 taxpaying citizens have ordered an election on March
22, 1947, to determine whether or not a bond issue of $800,000.00
will be voted in Limestone County. I am submitting herewith facts
about that bond issue and the purpose for which it is to be used.
On January 1, 1947, the indebtedness against the Road and
Bridge Fund were as follows:
Script - $300,809.44
Rond and Bridge Funding — 288,000.00
The rate of interest paid on the above indebtedness annually is
as follows:
Script - 6%
Road and Bridge Funding : 4%
The actual interest paid annually is as follows:
6«-/rX$300,809.44 equals - $18,048.56
4%x$288,000.000 equals $11,520.00
Funeral services were held
Saturday in Dallas for J. R. Wood-
ard, brother of L. M. Woodard
of Mexia. Services were held at
the Prewett Funeral Home with
Rev. C. E. Stites, pastor of the
Skyline Baptist Church, officiat-
ing.
Mr. Woodard had resided in
Dallas for the past 20 years. Dur-
ing that time he was an employee
of the Texas Power and Light
Company. He was 51 years old
at the time of his death. Sur-
vivors are his wife, three sons,
two brothers and his mother, Mrs.
Helen Woodard of Huntsville.

Freeman of Houston, brother of
E. A. Freeman of Mexia. Mr.
Freeman died in Houston Thurs-
day. Funeral services were
held from the First Methodist
Church at Coolidge Friday after-
noon. Also surviving Mr. Free-
man is his mother, Mrs. A1 Free-
man of Waco.
Sixteen citizens attended the
Community Safety Council meet-
ing Tuesday night at the Mexia
Chamber of Commerce office.
Traffic and pedestrian hazards
of Mexia were discussed ,*t the
meeting. The Hazards Committee
reported on different hazards that
they had found in the city. The
resolutions committee was
directed to draw up resolutions
of the group in regard to the
hazards. The Safety Council vot-
ed to present their findings and
recommendations to the City
Council at a later date.
Also cards were issued to the
members of the group that will
be used in reminding traffic viola-
tors when they ari observed in
violation of a city traffic ori-
nancc. Each tim* a member of
the Safety Council witnesses such
n violation a card will be mailed
to the driver asking him to co-
operate in helping to make Mex-
ia a safer city.
S.P. Noon Train Blocked
The Southern Pacific's noon
train through Mexia arrived here
at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.
According to officials the delay
was due to the derailment of a
freight train near Houston.
Total - $29,568.56
Under our present system we are required to discount County
Script 10% before anyone will buy it. It is necessary for us to issue
$60,000.00 of script against the Road and Bridge Fund each year
and in addition to the discount it bears a rate of interest of 6r/«
annually. The amount of discount and interest annually is as fol-
lows:
$60,000.00 at 10% interest equals $6,000.00
$60,000.00 at 6% interest equals $3,600.00

Markets
Total - $9,600.00
The picture resolves itself to this figure:
Interest on Script Indebtedness - $18,048.56
Interest on Bonded Indebtedness 11,520.00
Discount on Current Script _ 6,000.00
Interest on Current Script 3,600.00
Total
All of the above comes out of^
your road tax each year, thereby
reducing it to such a small figure
that very little can be spent on
your roads out of the 40c road
tax levied against your property.
The only money left to service
your roads is about $60,000.00 de-
rived from car registration.
Provided this bond can be vot-
ed, the above indebtedness can
be financed at a rate of 2W?
without any deductions. In taking
advantage of this offer we can
sdve in interest and deductions
approximately $24,000.00 annual-
ly. In fact the entire indebted-
ness can be paid in 20 years with
the interest you are now paying
and further, your road tax each
year can be applied to your roads.
$39,168.56
are of public record in the Court
House and I will be glad to show
them to you if request is made
at my office.
This bond issue of $800,000.00
will be spent as follows: $600,-
000.00 to refinance outstanding
indebtedness already incurred;
approximately $75,000.00 for Mod-
ern Road Machinery; $125,000.00
to repair and replace bridges with
permanent materials, preferably
concrete, with priority of repair
going to School bus and rural
mail routes, under the super-
vision of a licensed engineer.
In submitting this statement
to you, Mr. Taxpayer, I do it
in the interest of the establish-
ment of a sound financial plan
You, of course, immediately for our County; a plan by which

ask, "What will this bond issue
cost me?"; a question which is
well taken. A levy of 24c per
$100, valuation at our present
valuation will service this bond,
which interpreted in terms of
$1,000.00 valuation will amount
to only $2.40 annually.
In this regard I have taken in-
to consideration your burden of
taxation and am seeking to make i
that burden as light as possible,
yet, at the same time make such
improvements the Court thinks
necessary in order that we may
establish a road system adequate
for our needs. In this respect I
propose to reduce the Permanent
Improvement tax eight (8c) cents;
the Jury Fund tax four (4c)
cents, thus giving you a reduc-
tion of twelve (12c) cents in con-
stitutional taxes. If you live in
Road District No. 15, which levies
40c, I propose to reduce that levy
to 20c. In Road District No. 4, I
propose to reduce that levy 50c;
in Road District No. 13 reduction
of $1.00; a reduction in Road
District No. 14 of 25c:
You may well ask, "What ad-
vantages do I get if the Bond is-
sue is voted?" The answer is this:
You get a savings of approxi-
mately $25,000.00 annually in the
interest which you are now pay-
ing, which interest can be applied
to our roads now. You further
release your current road taxes
of aproximately $60,000.00 an-
nually to be used on the roads
each year, and above all, you
place Limestone County on a pay-
as-you-go basis and do away en-
tirely with Road Script.
In order to avoid the recur-
rence of the issuance of script,
we have had introduced into the
legislature a bill prohibiting the
issuance of script against the
Road and Bridge Fund of Lime-
stone County. We have been as-
sured that this bill will pass and
become law. The penalty for dis-
obcdicpce of this law is fine and
imprisonment of any County
Judge or Commissioner who dis-
obey it.
The above fao4s and figures
we will begin now to solve our
disasterous road problem.
Respectfully submitted,

Critics of Reciprocal
Trade Program Lashed
By Truman in Waco
President Makes Important Economic
Pronouncement In Baylor Ceremony
WACO, Tex., March 6—(UP)—President Truman, speak-
ing to the nation from the Heart of Texas, warned today
that failure to continue the present United States policy of
reducing world trade barriers would invite international
economic warfare.
The president said there must be freer trade if the world
is to live at peace and declared that tariff-cutting would not
hurt American industry.
.Mr. Truman's immediate audience was the faculty and
student body of Baylor University, oldest college in tradi-
tionally-Democratic Texas, which presented him with an
honorary doctorate of laws.
But it was obvious that the president's remarks were
aimed at segments of the Republican party opposing govern-
ment plans to negotiate furth-, *
er tariff reductions with other
nations this year.
Striving to protect his recipro-
cal trade program from GOP at-
tacks, Mr. Truman said reduction
of trade barriers is a settled
policy of this government and
"one of the cornerstones of our
plans for peace."
Mr. Truman's speech was
broadcast over all networks. The
President stopped off in Waco
enroute home from a three-day
state visit to Mexico. There he
had reaffirmed the good neigh

The President warned those

He said:
"Take care, times have chang-
ed. Our position in the world has
changed. The temper of our peo-
ple has changed. The slogans of
1930 or of 1896 are sadly out of
date. Isolationism, after two
World Wars, is a confession of
mental and moral bankruptcy."
He warned that the world will
head into another era of economic
conflict and depression, and pos-
sibly war, unless the trend to-
ward regimentation of trade is
reversed.

world a common ground for tny Jl
basis needed for the establish^
ment of world peace. He said I
that their "service above self"
was the outstanding feature of
the organization.
The speaker said that with the
rapid change of trtougm in me
world that all leaders had an
obligation to practice such princi-
ples and show them to others.
Superintendent Johnson said that
there is a definite contribution
that each of us can give in com-
munity, state and world in this
struggle for the actual existence
of all of us. He said that there
are many thoughts and designs in
this country with the express
purpose of destroying all of the
things that we believe in and
that there is a dire need for more
people who are unselfishly try-
ing to make this a better world.
Dr. H. R. Martin iniroducted
the speaker. He was presented by
Rev. A. W. DeGuire, toastmaster
