YOU ... and TEXAS
By Joe Russell — State Senator. Tenth District
AUSTIN, Feb. 1 — I'm begin-
ning to hope that old Alexander
Pope was right 200 years ago when
he said "coffee makes the politic-
ians wise." If so, the Legislature
has been drinking in knowledge
for two weeks now.
Formal meetings have been
limited to brief morning
sessions in the Senate. The real
slugging, the "In-fighting," is go-
ing on in the committees and over
the coffee cups about veterans,
how we're going to spend your
state tax money, the old folks,
and re-districting.
Military problems are cropping
up. Governor Shivers has asked
us for adequate civil defense funds
to guard against the day when
this nation may be under seige.
And just last week I joined Sen-
ator Parkhouse of Dallas in an
emergency resolution, passed by
the Senate, asking that Texas
employees stop making it hard
on National Guard members.
You see, some business people
have refused to hire members of
the Guard because the might be
called to active duty. I've heard
of some cases like that in our
district.
These men have volunteered to
serve democracy in time of crisis.
It is the patriotic duty of every
employer to give them at least
an equal chance at jobs; it seems
obvious that the risk of losing an
employee later is nothing com-
pared to a Guardsman's risk of
giving his life for his nation.
This is one clear case where
patriotism precedes profits. It is
only one of many ways by which
Americans can prove they put
democracy ahead o f personal
wishes.
Also in the military vein, an
excellent bill set up a $75 million
veterans' land program has
been proposed in the Senate. I
know a lot of vets in our district
who haven't homesteaded yet and
need some help, so I'll back a bill
like this.
The two most ticklish feathers
in the Legislature's ribs — money
and re-distrlcting — are moving
toward fast conclusions.
Already proposals to pare $10
million from state appletree for
the next two years are before
senators and representatives. We
still must raise about $100 million
in new revenue if more economy
is not possible.
I believe firmly that the state
should have more sense than to
spend more than it's got. We've
hardly had time to analyze but
I do notice that the largest de-
crease — five and a half million —
would come from the colleges,
where enrollment will drop sharply
because of service remands.
But I'm going to fight the idea
that we should rub out the Vet-
erans' Affairs Commission because
of the paltry expense involved.
There are still plenty of veterans
with plenty of affairs (if you will
excuse the phrase), and the State
shouldn't put a quietus on helping
them.
On re-districting, the constitu-
tion requires that the state's vot-
ing districts be revised to include
the 1950 population figures. Of
course, it's possible that the fair-
est solutions might not become
law; a powerful lot of politics
gets mixed up when lawmakers
start juggling their own home vot-
ing areas.
But by and large, the re-dis-
tricting committee of the Senate,
of which I am a member, has set-
tled down to serious business. It
met until 10:45 one night last
week trying to work something
out.
Our home district, the tenth,
has about 19,000 eligible voters.
The norm Is 42,000, so it's clear
that we must expand from our
present four counties — Collin,
Rockwall, Hunt, and Rains.
The other night I recommended
that Kaufman,. Fannin and Hop-
kins be added to the Tenth Dis-
trict. That would Increase our
voting strength to 39,000, about
as close to the norm as we can
get. I think my proposal is fair
and equitable and I'm hopeful that
the Senate will accept It.
Finally, a word about the old
folks. It's a shame that the legis-
lature has refused to submit to
the people the question of lifting
the ceiling on old age assistance,
but if the true information about
the needs of our elderly people
is spread all over the state, I'm
sure that Texans will not dis-
appoint them, again. Several re-
solutions are being prepared to
ask the people again to lift that
ceiling.
So, on the whole, the Legislature
is off to a smooth, fast start.
