LEGION AUXILIARY
Monday night was regular meeting
night for the American Legion Aux-
iliary, but due to sickness and other
excuscs only a few members were
present. There were five Legionalres
present, and, since the Auxiliary had
no businss that needed immediate at-
tention, the evening was spent in play-
ing "42" and general discussion 'of
things concerning 1933 membership,
etc. This is a subject of much con-
cern to both the Legion and Auxiliary,
for if there ever was a time when we
needed to keep up our quota it is now.
And if there ever was a time when we
as individuals should be a member of
the organization it is now.
Plans were also made for a benefit
party to be given sometime soon, the
date to be announced later. Make
your plans now to attend this party.
Especially would we urge all ex-ser-
vice men and their families to attend.
Don't let the fact that you cannot pay
your dues now keep you from attend-
ing Legion meetings. Of course, we,
as do all other organizations, want
members, but you can show your col-
ors, or how you stand, by attending
meetings and working with the organ-
ization and then pay your dues when
you can. The next meeting date is
February 13th. Let us hope that ev-
ery eligible man and woman will be
present on that date. Reporter.
Latest reports from Rev. Carroll B.
Ray, who was taken to the Baptist
hospital in Houston last week, is that
he is suffering from typhoid-malaria
fever and that he is doing as well as
could be expected. His condition late

many friends here hope he will contin-
ue to improve.

Th Wayside Club met for its first

and five visitors present. Mrs. Thom-

usual interest and inspiration being a
Bible study on "Faith," lead by Mrs.
Tanner and Mrs. Batchelder Sr. Sev-
eral beautiful religious songs added
much to this devotional program.
Each member answered roll call with
a fitting verse of Scripture. At the
close every one spent a delightful so
cial hour and was served by the hos-
tesses with a delicious plate lunch,
angel food cake and coffee.

mained for a more extended visit.
The remains of F. R. Matthes, of

Blessing, were brought here Sunday
fur interment in the Palacios ceme-
tery. Funeral services were conducted
by the Masons of which order he was
a prominent member, and was attend-
ed by a large crowd of relatives and
friends from adjoining towns.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rasch left Tues-
day afternoon for Greeley, Nebr., after
a stay of more than a year in Pala-
cios. They regretted very much that
conditions necessitated their returning
north and hoped to be able to be with
us again at some future time. Mr.
and Mrs. Rasch have a host of friends
here who wish them a pleasant jour-
ney and that their stay in the north
may be of short duration.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rich and son,
of Scribner, Nebr., who spent last
week here, guests at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. L. Bruse, left Saturday for
a trip through the Rio Grande Valley.
Mr. Rich is traveling for his health
and has made trips to California and
Florida. This is his first time to visit
PJjlacios and he says he likes it better
here than any place he has been and
plans to raturn here after seeing the
sights along the coast from here to
Mcxico and along the border.
which that system bears today is well
nigh miraculous. But the limit has bee"
reached. It can carry no more. Pi;*
new burdens on it, and it must break
down under the whole burden, so that
it will no longer be carrying that
which it now so stoutly bears.
A sentiment seems to be somewhat
gaining ground to double the burden
which the highway system now carries
for the benefit of the school fund. The
system can carry no such additional
burden. Put upon it that new burden,
and it no longer can be the one de-
pendable source of revenue of the
common school system of Texas. The
school teachers of Texas would, in
their own interest, be most short-sight-
ed to support such a policy. Instead of
being in pocket by it, they would be
out of pocket by it.
The price of gasoline at the refinery
today is less than 5 cents a gallon. The
gasoline tax, state and federal, is 5
cents a gallon or more than 100 per
cent of the cost of discovery, produc-
tion, piping and refining.
Largely because of this revenue, the
highway system of Texas is the only
public enterprise which, today, is pay-
ing its own way. Yet, paying its own
way is much less than two-fifths of its
total burden. It pays into the common
school fund $8,200,000 a year. It pays
for maturities on local road bonds
$8,200,000 a year. You hear of its re-
ceiving "federal aid." It is a misnomer,
for it receives in so-called "federal
aid" an average of $7,200,000 a year
and pays to the federal government,
with the 1-cent federal gasoline tax,
$8,200,000 a year.
In the relief bill, enacted into a law
by congress last summer, was a so-
called highway item of $300,000,000
It was not for the benefit of the high-
ways, but was, on the other hand, a
direct burden upon the highway sys-
tem. The act empowers the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation to
match local emergency aid for the un-
employed and destitute out of this fund
of $300,000,000. It provides for return
of that sum to the government out of
future allotments of federal highway
aid. Today the federal government is
advancing huge sums ,,of money for
relief this winter all over Texas, and
we are thinking of it as a gift from
the federal government to overburden-
ed localities in Texas. It is in truth a
gift to those localities from the high-
way system of Texas, which, ulti-
mately, must pay the bill.
Some two years ago, the highway
system was called upon to lend a hand
to the enfeebled Confederate pension
fund. Upon legislative authority, the
highway department loaned the pen-
sion fund $3,000,000. It need not be ex-
pected that it will ever be repaid. The
pension fund was thereupon enlarged,
extending its benefits to others who
had not before been "included within
its terms, and the Confederate pension
flind now runs further behind each
day. In fact, it need not be unexpected
that the present legislature will call
upon th« highway department for a
further loan, which, if extended, will,
in truth, be a further donation to that
fund.
If you want to know who the stal-
wart young brother of the Texas school
teacher is, let us tell you. That rebust,
youthful brother is the highway sys-
tem of Texas. The school teacher must
rely upon him for the only unimpaired
and dependable source of revenue to-
day. He it is also who ministers today
to the Red Cross, the community chest,
the social welfare and the organiza-
tions for the unemployed of Texas. It
is he who furnishes the daily bread
for more than 100,000 men, women and
children of Texas, with good, honest
self-respecting employment now—this
winter—011 the highways of Texas, and
in activities directly related to the
highways.
He is strong of limb and sound of
body, and he is gracious and he is
willing. But there never was, in real

ster not only can not grow under a
greater burden—he can not carry
more.—Houston Chronicle.

Austin.—The further inroads into
the gasoline tax made by the legisla-
ture last year to help pay off county
highway bonds, together fith decreas-
ing revenues, will reduce Texas high-
way construction this year to one-
third of the 1932 mileage even if no
more road money is taken away, the
Texas Good Roads Association esti-
mated today.
"To the few mis-informed persons
who advocate a 'holiday' in road build-
ing, the Association's statement said,
"we would i-ay that Texas now faces
such a 'holiday' without any further
shifting of road money to any other
purpose. The legislature last year
took away one-third of the state's road
money to repay county highway bonds.
Last year, due to the high tax and the
depression, gasoline tax revenues fell
oft' $1,375,000.
■ "The result is that, after the cost
of maintenance is paid, Texas will
have only about $13,000,000, including
her federal aid, with which to build
new roads. This will build about one-
third the mileage that was laid in
1932.
We are pleased to report Mr. and
Mrs. John Bentler, who wore flue vic-
time, well on the road to recovery
Their daughter, Mrs. F. J. Hebert and
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ray Bentler, of
Houston, were here during their ill-
ness and assisted in caring for them.
We have been informed that Ernest
Nicholson, of the Collegeport com-
munity, who has been seriously ill for
some weeks, after having been in Bay
City for ten days, under the care of a
physician and nurse, is now in a hos-
pital in Galveston, where he is receiv-
ing every attention, and is now doing
as well as could be expected. The
many friends of Mr. Nicholson hope he
will readily respond to the treatment
being given him and soon regain his
health.
Mrs. Flossie Lee Harper has had as
her guest during the past three weeks,
her daughter, Mrs. Don Coates, of Dal-
las, who has been recuperating from
flu. Mrs. Coates left last Sunday for
Houston to attend the Rachmaninoff
concert and a conference with Mrs.
John Wesley Graham, president of the
Texas State Music Teachers Associa-
tion. The Southwestern Musicale,
owneil by Mrs. Harper and managed
by Mrs. Coates, is the official organ of
the above mentioned association.
Mrs. L. H. Buller has sold her home
on Pavilion Street to Mr. and Mrs.
John Runkle, of Oklahoma, who have
been spending the winter here and lik-
ed our city so much they have decid-
ed to make it their future home. The
property they purchased is one of the
most desirable in the city and Mr. and
Mrs. Runkle feel they were very for-
tunate in finding such a baautiful
place. Mrs. Buller has purchased
property in Iago and will make that
place her home.
