Your Independence
Taxes and cost of living are
going to be a major worry of
the present generation and
their children. The taxes they
have to pay either directly or
through a withholding levy on
their incomes must be paid
ahead of their bread and but-
ter.
Taxes are a necessary burden
in our expanding and progres-
sive society, just as modern con-
veniences become necessary in
our changing standards of liv-
ing. But there is a point in both
government and family spend-
ing, where desires have to be
balanced against income and
ability to pay.
It is part of our political pic-
ture for candidates for office
and our representatives in gov-
ernment, in order to obtain
public favor, to promise the
people all manner of public
largess in return for their sup-
port. But it is seldom mentioned
that the people will have to
pay in taxes for the beneficence
of the politicians.
The situation is like install-
ment buying, where induce-
ments are so appealing that the
burden of payments can sink
the family ship before income
has grown to meet obligations.
It is just as important for the
people to vote “No” to extrava-
gant and unnecessary, but ap-
pealing political schemes for
which they will have to pay, as
it is for them to say “No” to
personal spending beyond their
means. The money in both cases
comes out of the same pocket,
but in public spending it is
taken ahead of grocery money,
household supplies or sickness
obligations. Being an easy mark
can cost your independence.
The auto seems to be here to
stay, even if many motorists
aren’t.

Philosopher Isn’t Worried About
Climate Permanently Changing
Editor’s note: The Philosoph- change and are

Aquilla Creek reports on the
weather more or less in his let-
ter this week.
Dear editar:
According to an article in a
rain-soaked newspaper which
I dried out on a rope on the
back porch a while back and
am just now getting around to
reading because I was tired of
having it hit me in the face, a
a lot of people are wondering
if there has been a permanent
change in the world’s climate.
The article points out that a
drouth in the U. S. Northeast is
the worst in several hundred
years: that the worst winter
storms in history hit the Mid-
west plains this year; that sun-
ny California was hit by floods;
Texas was swamped by rains;
drouths have hit India, Aus-
tralia and South Africa; a Si-
berian-type cold wave invaded
Northern England this spring;
torrential rains and floods have
hit Brazil; a water shortage has
developed in the Philippines,
etc.
As a result, after looking at
all these reports, some people
arc concluding that the world’s
climate is undergoing a drastic
Agr. Programs
Can Increase
Centex Income
Two Texas-size do-it-your-
self agricultural income pro-
grams are turning up some note-
worthy results. A third program
is on the planning stages.
The programs are being car-
ried out by farmers, ranchers
and agricultural leaders with
technical assistance from Texas
A&M University. Much credit
is due the county agricultural
agents who play a key role in
urging farmers to adopt better
farming practices.
The first program, labeled
Blacklands Income Growth
i BIG i, includes 39 counties in
Central Texas. John Box.
A&M Extension agronomist and
coordinator of the BIG pro-
gram, says the BIG goal is the
adoption of improved agricul-
tural practices. Then increased
income will follow, he says.
And so it has. Cash farm in-
come in the 11 million acre BIG
area has risen some $90 million
since 1961.
It isn’t essential that we all
think alike—just that we think.
hunting for
to explain it.
People who think that way
have been listening to too many
weather reports and not spend-
ing enough time looking out
their windows.
As far as I can tell, drastic
changes in the weather have
been going on all my life.
A year’s weather is about like
a session of Congress. You know
when it’ll start and about when
it’ll end, but you don’t know
what’s going to happen in be-
tween, and trying to calculate
this year’s action by either one
on what happened last year and
the years before is the best way
I know to get wet and taxed
simultaneously when yen least
expect it.
The other day I saw the long-
range weather forecasts for the
month of May in two different
farm magazines, and one said
May around here will be dry,
the other said it will be wet.
This convinces me that if a
man wants to get at least one
accurate forecast he’d better
read two magazines.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

THANKS VOTERS
Of Eleventh District
For many years the voters of the six counties which
constitute the “old eleventh district" have been fine
and kind to me. I deeply appreciate their loyalty. This
year the voters of five new counties have had the op-
portunity to participate in selecting the Representative
from this District. These voters have not known me.
I feci greatly honored that they would join my long-
time friends in returning me without an opponent.
I thank each and everyone of you, in whatever part
of the District you live. My views will not always coin-
cide with yours, but I hope that my service may be of
value to you and to our State and Nation.
Your friend,
W. R. Poage, Congressman
