Governor Shivers Stands For
Texas Limit on Taxes.
We Texans accept Governor
Shivers as a strong leader on
state expenditures. Saying: "As
long as legislators and administra
tive officials, respond to people's
demand-state government costs
will increase.
There is a limit to the amount
of taxes that can be levied by any
subdivision of our government if
economy is to remain sound. Quot
ing Thomas Jefferson, "No more
should be attempted than the na-
tion can bear." might well be ap-
plied to Texas state government.
While thus warning against too
great increase spending; Shivers
said the Texas legislature never
the less will have to expand the
current budget in January to pro-
vide adequately for our state hos-
pitals for the mentally sick, and
our aged citizens who have no
place to go except to a state in-
stitution.
As one of the leading states of
this American Union, we must
provide financial program and
care for these unfortunate people."
Honor to our new Governor
Shiver's.

Too Late Miss Evans
After an attempted dastard
crime Mary Margaret Evans, alone
and also battered in her cell, has
time to review her multiple plot
for murder; the use of chloroform
a stomach pump; sleeping tablets;
red pepper, to thwart blood-
hounds trail; rubber gloves, and
a toy pistol, to scare her victim
if she awoke during chloroforming
operation, my! my;
Poor deluded Margaret Evans
could this be warning to those who
are tempted.
W. B. Squyres of Alamance has
planned out terrace lines on 23
acres of cropland. He laid out a
new meadow to serve as an out-
let for part of the terraces. The
rest of the terraces empty on pas
ture and woodland.
BRANNAN PLAN
The Aiken - Hope Bill will go
into effect January 1 unless Con-
gressional action is taken which
receives the approval of the Presi-
dent before that time. The early
part of the yeat, President Tru-
man, informed his Congressional
leaders that he wanted the follow
ing proposals enacted into law:
(1) the repeal of the Aiken - Hope
Bill (this is reffered to as a law
that will permit the farmers to
just ache and hope); (2) guaran-
tee 90 per cent of parity by Com
modity Credit Corporation loans
on basic commodities; (3) permit
perishable commodities to seek
their level but give the producers
a guaranteed price. President Tru-
man is still insisting on these
standards. If the Brannan Plan is
adopted, we will not have unfavor-
able situations that now exist in
the case of eggs and potatoes.

Although W. H. Lee of Spring-
dale made a good crop of cotton—
12 bales on 10 acres—he plans to
increase his a\er;.ge yield next
year by following a winter legume
cover crop.
H. H. Liverman of Kelleyville
has begun construction of terraces
on both his orchard and cropland.
After sub-soiling their pasture,
Paul and Todd McWhorter found
that most of the rain that falls
on it soaks into the soil and not
enough was running off to main
tain the water level in their lake
below, although the dam is holding
well. They plan to build devirsion
terraces above the lake to divert
ore water into it.
L. C. Pruitt of Sardis says, '"I
know it cost me money not to plant
a winter cover crop last year." He
was busy this week getting his
peas planted.

FUTURE
Every business man who hopes to stay in business knows
that he must plan for the future. More customers and greater demands
for his products or services make it continually necessary for him
to expand and improve his facilities. That's why United Gas,
in an effort to meet a constantly increasing demand for
natural gas service, is investing 30 million dollars this year in
construction and development of its facilities.
More than half of this money is being invested in Texas.
A large part of the money spent for expansion moves immediately
into the channels of trade in the Gulf South, which is another
example of the way the American Business System works
to bring better living to your community.
