The Place of the Railroad
In This War
This war is proving that the balance (tant fronts at home to preserve as wel.
of power is to rest in the hands of that
por'ation system which they depended on

In tliis con: try where the railway.!

stantly kept u l> and improved. The
man power in charge of them arc the
world's best ar.d their efficiency in hand-
ling freight is the epitome of perfection.
We are seeing them do a big job in

It is declared bv authentic sources
that when Hitler breaks down it will be
laid at the door of a failure of trar.spor
taiion. That nation with its governmenf
owned railways is a marked contrast to
the independently owned lines of the
United States. The German lines aro
declared clogged to the bogging down
point, while the roads of this country are
pairing each week in their efficiency to
hrndle the materials of war.
The lesson therefore we get from
Germany's railway lines is clear—our
roads with their far-sighted managements,
expert crews and physical equipment,
must be kept at their peak at all costs ir.

Saturday the people are called oil
to vote for all offices to be filled from the
governor's chair on down to the precinct
officers. It is a time when voting should
be done with the utmost consideration
sir-ice the state and county have impor-
cour.try having the best equipped and
maintained railways and not in so-called
super highways.
The lesson is said to be one of the
outstanding ones, from Germany where
the railways have been neglected and at-
tention paid mostly to the super-high-
way.
The railways are declared to have

that our finances, or interests on behalf
of the people be in the hands oi men
who are not se* kir.g self but seeking to
render a noble service All should vote.
That is our business which we entrust to
others to handl ? and we should exercise \
the same degree of consideration and ,
caution as if we employed men in our (
own household or with our own firm or
business.

iOnly last Saturday the Mari-
time Commission canceled its con-
tract with the Higgins Company,
Inc., of New Orleans for construc-
tion of 200 Liberty shps. \ Rear
Admiral Vickery, vice-chairman
of the commission, speaking at
Seattle when this action was tak
en, justified it with the statement
that ship production for 1942 is
now ahead of schedule by 2,000,- [
000 tons and is outstripping los-;
ses from enemy act'O".
Yet, four days later, the War,
Shipping Administration announ-j
ces that in the preceding week
Axis submarines took their heavi-
est toll since the war began and
that shipping losses are far ahead
of record-breaking construction to
replace them-
These stateiments from two re-
sponsible sources nra violently
in conflict. Readied as they
are for any effort that miy be-
required of them in prose;ucio;t of
the war, grave as is thrr concern
over the menace the U-fcoats at
our very shores, what can the
American people believe
If ships and more ships are the
answer to the U-boat«, the sched-
ule for production, exceeded
though it may have be?n, should
be stepped up, revised and enlarg-1
ed. If cargo-carrying planes of
the giant Mars type are the an-
swer, building of ships sholud be
limited or halted entirely, and the
shipbuilding plants converted into
cargo plane production with all
possible expedition.

PAUL FINCH
I take this opportunity to
express to you my sincere
thanks and appreciation for
the wonderful support yoll
have given me during this
campaign for District Clerk.
If you will go to the poll.*
and vote for me on Satur-
day, July 25th you will not
have reason to regret it. I
firmly believe in but two
terms of office and if you
elect me to serve you for
two terms, I shall not ask
lor the third term.
I have never been a can-
didate for any office and do
not belong to any political
organization and I shall con-
sistently use my influence
against such groups.
You have seen the support given me by my felrow citizens of
Bella. The*e men are men of honor, not one of them would en-
dorse or recommend a man for office whdm they deemed to be un-
worthy or unfitted to fill that office.
My business experience coupled with auditing experience has
fitted me for such place as I ask without teaching or time spent in
learning the rudiments of the office. My friends believe me compe-
tent to fill the office of District Clerk without tutoring or spending
county money.
, 'My name appears on the ballot in the middle. I ask you to
kindly run a line through the top and the bottom name and we
will together get the job done.

Labor Short In ,138 Types of
Jobs
On the labor supply front, War
Manpower Commission Chairman
iMcNutt published a list of 138
occupations, essential to war pro-
duction, in which there is a na-
tional shortage of labor. The
most serious, he said, are in the
vital metal-working and indus-
trial machinery trades, and in oc-
cupations essential to ship, air-
craft tool, and ordnance manu
facture.
Transportation Director East-
man issued a general order sim-
plifying rules which keep export
goods out of ports until arrange-
ments have hnin made to ship
them.
New Rules to Keep [Prices in Line
While millions in the East reg-J
istered for the coupon books
which will control their gasoline
supply for 12 months, the Office
of Price Administration went
ahead with its other responsilibity
—keeping prices in line. New
rules, regulations and adjust-
ments applied to the following!
Women's fur garments pork,
beef, and veal, rolled and wire
glass; rotary cut southern hard-
wood box lumber; waste fat and
oil-bearing materials; bark from
hemlock, oak, chestnut, and
spruce; crude glycerine; "dis-
tress stocks" of iron and steel
products; toluene; inner tubes;
cotton fabrics; decorative fabrics;
'inportrd spiritous liquors; cresy.
lie acid; zinc oxide; canned and
dried fruits.
,And the Office of War Infor-
mation issued its first pamphlet,
'The Unconquered People," tell-
ing of the heroic resistance of the
peoples of Europe and the evi-
dence that they will join us in the
battle for freedom when our for-
ces reach their soil.

SOME OF THE THINGS HE
STANDS FOR
1. Full and unreserved backing
of the national war program by
the state of Texas. If we don't
win this war nothing is left for
any of us.
2. Operating the State's affairs
an a conservative basis consistent
with meeting the elementary
needs of government.
3. Preservation of the State's
natural resources for Texas pri-
marily and permitting others the
privilege of purchasing only fhat
which is not needed for home use.
4. Repeal of such laws, or the
passing of any legislation that
will either inhibit the free us*
and enjoyment of, or encourage
J the development of our homes,
I our schools, our vocations, our
state or the church, which five
institutions form the agencies
through which the human soul de-
velops.
5.. The right of every ohlld to
be born well, given the fullest op-
portunity for education, vocation-
al and social privileges.
6. The protection of the home
through the continuation of the
homestead laws of this state.
7. The granting of old age as-
sistance to the fullest pesslble
level by first removing the "ceil-
ing" now on the fund, and second
by taking the politics from the ad-
ministration of the service to the
aged, and remove the humiliaton
from the receiver of old age as-
sistance.
8. Continuation of thi# present
per capita apportionment for our
public school^, together with the
addition of such increase as may
be found necessary to pay the
claims of the school districts of
the state.
9. The rights and privileges of
organized labor as they are con-
sidered standardized by sane labor
leaders, and the absolute elimina-
tion of the labor racketeer.
10. No state money to be used
for promoting factories in our
penitentiary where trades shall
be taught and their products sold
in the open market to compete
with free labor.
These are times when we face
taking care of the front at hon^e
as well as that of winning a war
at a foreign front. If elected I
shall work with the same degree
of earnestness and consciSncious-
ness that has characterized me in
my business life as publisher of
the Press. I shall fight for those
same things for which the paper
has become known in the thirteen
years of its history.
I shall do my best to keep the
present sources of tax incoma in-
tact as they are applied to our
natural resources since to Ijso
them may mean a severe hardship
on the institutions named in para-
graph four (4).
These are not the times to In-
crease the burdens of the people,
but a time to make them lighter
if possible. I shall do my duty as
| n real representative, and do
! YOUR bidding rather than serve
I my own interest. I shall Indeed
try and serve the people and come
back to them with a conscience
.void of offence toward God and
man.
