The Cotton Year...
Some interesting things are happening in the Tex-
as world of cotton.
Texas cotton leaders are calling for the withdrawal
of land from the 1958 soil bank so that some 2 million
acres can be returned to production this summer.
And ASC officials have extended the time for with-
drawal to March 28. They point out the requests to
withdraw land from the soil bank must be in writ-
ing.
Two months ago there was a voluntary rush to
ASC officios throughout the state and the cotton-
growing South to bank land.
The race for soil bank money closed out the pro-
gram in Milam County four days after it opened with
about 21,000 acres set aside. If kept there, those
acres would mean about $758,000 in payments to
the 732 farmers placing land in the bank.
The trend was general. Many of Texas’ cotton
growers put alloted land away that had never done
so before.
Even with one-third of its cotton allotment in the
soil bank, Milam County could probably produce a
good crop this year, compared to previous years dur-
ing drouth and overflows.
The outlook for cotton i n Texas should
be excellent, cotton leaders say. They point out that
a shortage of cotton last year would create a greater
demand for cotton this year. They also point out the
dangers to a number of other allied businesses with
general cutback in production.
If the experts are right, it should be a good year
for cotton. And if cotton growers could materialize
a greater faith in the growth and market possibili-
ties in 1958, they could increase the production of a
product that is apparently less abundant than in
past years.
We are not cotton farmers. But we would urge
farmers who have land in the soil bank to consider
putting some of it back into production. We would
invite you to check the cotton market and possibili-
ties of growing cotton in 1958. The weather and
market indicate a good year ahead.
Taxes, Recession Key

Dear (xlitar:
Generally I’m so busy worrying
over whether my own finances are
in good or bad shape I don't have
time to find out whether the rest
of the country is prosperous or
depressed. I learned long ago a
man could be over-drawn at the
bank even at the very peak of the
biggest prosperity boom in the
history of the nation, but when
everybody keeps hammering away
at the idea that a recession has
indeed turned up. at least in lots
of places over the country. I’m
not one to argue about i.t Recess-
ions don't scare me. I’ve had ’em
for years.
However what interests me is
the solutions being offered to cure
the thing, all the way from raising
lowering the price of' tarm products
to cutting the income tax rate,
although the best one I’ve read
so far came from a top expert
in Washington.
got to remember some people don't
make sense to me.
But back to the idea that the
way to whip the recession is for
you and me to spend more. I was
discussing this with a neighbor and
he said it won’t work, the reason
we're in the shape we’re in now,
if we are in such a shape, which
I’m not sure of, is because people
have been spending more than
they make.
I'm not saying he's right or
wrong. I’m as capable of a politi-
cian's viewpoint as the next man,
but the world never makes any
progress without experimenting,
and I’d like for you to get in touch
with Washington and inform the
experts I’m willing to give this
new idea a trial. I'm not afraid of
By Vent SanforJ
Tex a* Press Association
AUSTIN—Two supercharged iss-
ues . taxation and recession ...
like two strands of a high-voltage
electric i'.-nce, seem to be twined
through every areu of Texas gov-
ernment.
Recession, though considered
mild and temporary, is here and
now. New taxation, in the light
of official estimates, will be pruc-
tically unavoidable next year.
Even though the recession is
labeled * minor' and new state
taxes the Inevitable result of ex-
plosive growth, having both issues
come up at the same time makes
each seem worse. New tax talk,
never popular, is even less so with
people feeling the chill wind of a
cut in income.
Barring an unexpectedly swift
upturn in the economy, the twin
issues will break through the mid-
dle of next summer’s political cam-
paigns. It’ll be particularly rough
campaigning for those who have
to get on one aide or the other of
the taxation fence.
Some legislative candidates are
already being asked, “If there has
to be a new tax, what kind will
you vote for?" Some say they
haven't decided what they’d vote
for, but will say what they'd vote
ngainst. Others say they're making
no decision until after the State
Tax Study Commission completes
its reports.
Lower, But Growing
Latest report by the Tax Study
Commission shows some of the
possible directions in which Texas
may have to move to get addi-
tional tax money.
It notes that: Besides Texas only
two other states are without either
a general sales tax, personal in-
come tax or corporate income tax.
Texans in 1956 paid lower state
and local taxes than the average
for other states .. $129.50 per
capita for Texas compared with
$157.50 per capita national aver-
age.
Rate of tax increase for Texas
has been much faster than U. S.
average Texas rate of increase
from 1953-56 was 23.4 per cent;
national average, 19.4 per cent.
Commission's next report will
deal with future spending needs,
says Sen. William S. Fly, chair-
man.
Unemployment Up Again
Texas Employment Commission
reports claims for unemployment
compensation at a new high.
There had been a slight drop
for the previous week. But latest
weekly tabulations showed TEC
paid out $1,435,448, compared to
$696,464 for the same week a year
ago. Number of persons filing
claims was 82.576, almost double
the 42,705 who filed a year ago.
Even so, most recent nationwide
figures show Texas to be a highly
favortd area. Labor Department’s
Bureau of Employment Security
says that Texas has the lowest
rate of unemployment of insured
workers of any state in the nation
3.6 per cent here compared to
7.S per cent nationally.
On Plus Side
Other business barometers tend
to bolster the view that Texas’
economy is weathering the squally
weather well.
First 1958 reports from the Bur
eau of Business Research on over-
ail business activity showed the
January index up eight per cent
from December, one per cent
from January, 1957.
Texas Banking Commission's
spring call for condition of Texas
banks brought reports of hefty in-
creases in money on deposit. Some
cities showtd drops in bank depos-
its, but in general they were up
with some cities setting records
or near records.
BBR's report notes that “al-
though evidence of recession is
p'ain, the strength of the state s
economy is shown by its stubborn
resistance to fur*her decline ’’
A small increase in building act-
ivity in early 1958 may be the fore-
rurner of a general revival of the
home building industry this year,
<i,ys BBR.

primarily more spending by in-

That’s more to my taste. This
old idea that you whip hard times
by pulling in your belt never did
appeal to me, it’s like arguing you
ought to walk until you can pay
cash for a car, it’s an attack on
the down-payment system, it’s an
attack against the credit system,
and without borrowed money most
people would never drive a car and
most nations would never launch
a satellite. This may not make
sense to some people, but you ve
periment of this magnitude takes
time and Washington needn t be
expecting to get complete results
in a few short weeks. You don’t
wipe out a recession a thousand
miles from my farm with one
spending spree, you've got to chip
away at it steadily, month after
month. If Washington will start
the checks, I’ll prop up my mail

into action I won’t guarantee it’ll

loaf on.
