Announcements:
The Claude News Is authorized
to announce the following candi-
dates for the office under which
their names appear, subject to the
action of the Democratic Primary
which is to be held July 2J, :9J8.
The star proceeding each name
below Indicates candidates for RE-
ELECTION to his respective office
For State Representative 113 Dlst.:
•G. H. "JACK" LITTLE
W hm Jttrt
form of Hon. KARL A. CROWLEY
*ho Is a candidate for Ooverno:
if Tim-Wo will notice one plank
•f his platform only, at this time
That plank reads: "I promise tc
■\boltih the Ad-Vakwem Tax and
place It an those most abler to pay
Taxei" That statement Is mis-
leading fer the reason the Ad-
Valorctn Tax means a tax "accord-
ing to its value.'' To remove the
■Vd-Vabiem tax means that thoec
iwnlng million* and millions of
nvoperty In sky scraper buildings,
in lands, mills, mines and factor-
ies, etc. would pay no taxes at all;
therefore faxes could not be shift-
ed to those able to pay-that Is if
the Ad-Valorem tax was removed
When the Ad-Valorem tax Is re-
moved some other tax must be sub-
stituted. because it takes money to
un the Government of Texas and
•ots of it. Another tax that would
je forced upon us, if the Ad-Val-
orem tax was removed, Is the
3ALKS TAX. President Roosevelt
uid Governor Allred said: "The
aales tax Is a tax upon poverty,"
and it is. The SALES TAX means
he rich grow richer and the poor
poorer.
There never has been a tax yet
devised by man that is more just
than the Ad-valorem Tax—"Taxed
according to its value." If a man
should own orily one dallor and
pay taxes on that dollar, and the
nilllonaire owned a million dollars
hen the millionaire should pay a
million times more taxes than the
one dollar man. From this very
logical and reasonable statement
there is no exeape. If a man owns
ten thousand dollars worth of pro-
perty and another owns one hund-
red thousand dollars worth of pro-
perty then the latter should pay
l'EN TIMES MORE taxes than the
former—"Taxed According to Its
value."
When properly informed no man
will oppose the Ad-Valorem Tax.
Those who will talk more and
prophsey regarding the Governor's
race, predict that the Ihree leading
men will be Railroad Commission-
er. Ernest O. Thompson. Attorney
General. Bill McCraw and Oil
Man. Tom Hunter. Now give us
your guess. It might be just as
rood as the other fellows.

Till: FARM SURPLUS PROBLEM
In the past surplus crops have
invariably meant loses to farmers
The farmers produce about ten
billion dollars worth of products
a year, an average of about a
thousand dollars a farm. A hund-
red dollars more or less for the
sale of his products, therefore, may
meen the margin of economic
safety for the farmer.
The Department of Agriculture
estimates the 1938 crops at 10 per
cent greater than the record fig-
ures of 1937. There are in opera-
tion, however, three programs for
the utilization of crop surpluses,
which, among them, may eventu-
ally make the extreme peaks and
valleys of farm income less of a
bugaboo.
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration, through the Federal
Surplus Commodities Corporation
began in 1934, the purchase of sur
plus farm products and distribu
tion wherever possible to familie:

There is one sure way to elimin-
ate most all wars: just pass a law-
hat all Municlan Factories, all
Railroads, and all the Money in
Central Banks will be confiscated
and used to promote and carry on
he war; THEN you couldn't scare
ip a war in a thousand years.

A. L STEVENS
It seems to be the old "army
game" of private manufacturers of
war materials profiteering when
opportunity arises. Naturally, cap-
ital and labor of the United States
will not countenance buying ships
abroad. The idea is rediculous. Just
as naturally, it seems that Con-
fess has power to investigate and
| correct the situation that now
threatens to rob the tax-paying
•jubiic of millions, to be stuffed
,! i pockets of the ship builders.

"Be careful to use plants that
harmonize with the house and sur-
roundings Instead of using accent
plants," stated Miss Sadie Hat-
field, specialist in landscape gar-
dening from College Station, in
planning the foundation plantings
for the home of Mr. and Mrs.
R. W. Calliham, Yard Demonstra-
tions for Conway Home Demon-
stration Club. "So often sheared
plants, especially tall ones call
attention to them selves instead
of harmonizing with the house and
calling attention to it," continued
Miss Hatfield. "For large liouser
such as that of the Calllhams.
bushy plants are much better than
tall ones. They seem part of the
foundation and tie the house to
the rest of the landscape.

All too often, Beer is just the decoy...
... yet, all too often, Beer gets the blame!
Beer is an honest drink . . . mild, whole-

promising to combat the evil of too much
alcohol than the opportunity of drinking
good beer."
And we brewers are with you 100%
