I Submit My
Record to You
I am asking for re-election as your county
judge solely on my record. I have lived among
you people for many years and my official record
as your county judge for the past three and
one-half years is open for your inspection. You
know me and you know my record both as a
citizen and as an official, and I am willing to
leave the decision in your hands, without com-
ing the good people of this county for what you
have done for me in my present campaign as
well as in the past. It has been a pleasure to
work with you and for you. I also wish to take
this occasion to thank my two opponents for the
clean and gentlemanly campaigns they have con-
ducted.

Subject to action of the voter* in

It’s impossible to draw a deep
breath, the air is so thick with poli-
tics.....the children’s playground
is about the only place you can in-
hale freely.
We went to the Girl Scout house
this morning to interview the
Brownie troop members who are en-
joying a big two-day camp.....all
we could see were the empty cots,
but nary a Brownie.....they were
off on a hike.
Imagine the embarrassment of a
young hose salesman, demonstrating
the durability of his wares and hav-
ing a nice runner pop in the silk.

This was disclosed yesterday by
Roswell MagtU. acting secretary of
the treasury. Although no policy de-
cisions will be made until Secretary
Morgenthau and President Roose-
velt return from their vacations,
Magill said his experts were Investi-
gating the question of reducing per-
sonal exemptions and increasing tax
rates on individuals with moderate
incomes.
As for the big corporations, the
president personally has ordered
aides to draw up a program for
strengthening the undistributed
profits and capital gains taxes.
Magill declined to give his opin-
ion about the wisdom of reducing
exemptions or to indicate how much
of a change was being studied. He
pointed out, however, that Senator
LaFollette, Progressive. Wisconsin,
has attempted unsuccessfully for
several years to get congress to cut
the exemption for single persons
from $1,000 to $800 and for heads of
families from $2,500 to $2,000. He al-
so declined to discuss proposals of
both LaFollette and Senator King.
Democrat. Utah, to Increase the tax
rates on incomes up to $100,000 per
year.
The justice department has drawn
up an official opinion predicting the
supreme court would hold constitu-
tional a law, recommended by Mr.
| Roosevelt, to tax the future salaries
of state and local governmental em-
ployes and the income from future
i issues of state securities. Magill said
j the treasury was preparing a bill.
1 for the next congress, to remove
i present exemptions..

DEATH CLOSES CAREER
OF WESTERN NOVELIST
NORTH KINGSTOWN, R. I„
July 21.—Death Thursday closed
the career of Owen Wister, 78, fam
ous novelist, whose life had many
parallels with that of his friend,
Former President Theodore Roose-
velt.
Wister died of cerebral hemor-
rhage at his summer home after an
illness of only a day.
Author of “Tl^e Virginian," he at-
tended Harvard university with
Rooseveli and they became close
friends. Both went west for their
health. Both wrote popular books
after their experiences in the West.

dore Roosevelt in 1912 when he
launched his drive for the Republi-
can presidential nomination against
President Taft. Had Theodore
Roosevelt been nominated then, his
election would have been virtually
certain and he would have been the
first president to serve more than
two terms.
No Hearsay Here
This writer does not rely on hear-
say testimony in saying that Theo-
dore Roosevelt did not want to re-
turn to the White House but made
the campaign only because be saw
in it a chance to capitalize his own
great personal popularity In an ef-
fort to establish for the Republican
party the social justice doctrines'he
preached.

TO THE VOTERS OF SHAMROCK AND
SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES
I lake this opportunity to recommend C. V. TERRELL for reelection
to the office of Railroad Commissioner because he has always been fair
to the small oil operators. He has supported every order that has kept
the large oil companies from putting the small operators out of business.
He has always been a friend to the
rancher and farmer by supporting ev-
ery order to cut freight rates in time
of drought and emergencies.
Let us show our appreciation for
the good work he has done by reelecting
him to the office of TEXAS RAIL-
ROAD COMMISSIONER.
