A NASTY SITUATION EXPOSED
The depths to which groups within
our government will go to bring about their
ends and force their socialistic policy on
the tax payers is seen in a recent article
by Leslie A. Miller in the Saturday Evening
Post. He tells of the fight between the
Army Engineers and the Reclamation Bu-
reau and their extravagant expenditure of
billions, each trying to force their way and
program.
Mr. Miller is on the Hoover Commis-
sion and is chairman of the National Re-
source Committee of the Commission. He
says in part:
"The two agencies are so violently
jealous of each other that an extravagant
hrtd wholly
sprung up .
extend their
guilty of underestimating—apparently de
liberately—the cost of the projects they
propose to build . . .
"Both agencies stoop to deception . . .
the engineers will use navigation and flood
control as a guise for a hydroelectric pro-
ject; the Reclamationists use irrigation as
their alibi for hydroelectric development
... It is my impression that the United
States still is not a socialistic country and
that the production and sale of electricity
remains a matter for private enterprise."
Mr. Miller estimates government-
owned water-resources-development pro-
jects now in construction and planning
stages would cost more than $52,000,000,-
000—and that does not include close to
$5,000,000,000 which has already been
spent on completed projects.
Here is a startling example of what
can happen when government agencies
start to compete with each other for pow-
er, prestige and money—and when the so-
cialists see an opportunity to advance
their ideology under camouflage. The de-
vice of using such attractive words as "re-
clamation" and "flood control" to cover
projects whose big purpose is the sociali-
zation of the electric industry is an old
one, of which TVA is the most conspicu-
ous illustration. This cannibalistic practice
of government in devouring its own tax-
paying industries has caused the waste of
billions in the past. It will cause the
waste of tens of billions in the future un-
less it is checked, not to mention the fact
that it will destroy a free nation as we
have known it.

tip-e was seen everywhere. The
stores in large part were desert-
ed, the merchants all having rush-
ed from their stores to do what
they could to gring relief. No
looting was reported . Hours
were spent by the citizens in ef-
forts to locate the bodies of the
drowned. Dallas was completely
shut off for hours and all elec-
tric light service wiped out, the
plant being one of the municipal
kind and relief work at night |Was
made the more difficult.
For hours no telephone service
was available.
Denison may lose an occasional indus-
try, and we may have those plants which
will occasionally be run only a short time,
but we have had that off and on for the
years we have lived here since back in
1901. We have made gradual progress in
spite of such because we did not let any-
thing whip us. What we have done we
can continue to do. So let's not at this time
sit and whine that we are losing out.
Right now we are looking at a scene
on a country road with a high mountain
green with verdure in the background.
Aiong the winding road which has just a
glimpse here and there through the scen-
ery runs a modern day car with its pas-
sengers gliding along the ribbon-like high-
way. We sit here and gaze at that pic-
ture, grinding away on the old typewriter
turning out copy while the press is about
ready to start up for the current issue.
Whether we can get out and enjoy the
life depicted on the wall or not, we at
least have the imaginative powers to some-
what gather what such a trip these hot
days might mean.
Texas Electric
Tracks Are To
Be Asphalted
The O'Neal Construction Com-
pany began work this week on
coverg the - asa-wuL
covering the interurban rails in
Denison ,with asphalt. The con-
struction company had contracted
with the Texas Electric Railway
to cover the rails with asphalt be-
cause there could not be an agree-
ment reached between the City of
Denison and Texas Electric to re
move the rails.
The agreement between the city
and the construction company pro-
vided for daily inspection of the
work as it progressed, but because
the city has not yet hired an en-
gineer to succeed D. D. Bivins,
who resigned, the work will pro'
ceed as scheduled.
Denison Man Wins
Suit Against
Katy Railroad
B. M. Webb, 321 N. Rusk Ave.,
was awarded the sum of $37,013.53
in 59th District Court Saturday
in his suit against the M-K-&-T
Railroad for injuries received in
an accident Nov. 10, 1947.
Mr. Webb was a locomotive en-
gineer for the Katy and was in-
jured when his passenger train ran
into the rear of a freight train
that was being switched onto a
siding. / •
The jury set the damages at
$02,160 and allowed $1,493 for
medical costs. This verdict was
later changed and the amount re-
duced to $26,640 when the plain-
tiff was proved to be partially
negligent. The jury was out three
hours. Judge W. C. Dojwdy pre
