I,
Communications and comments in
this issue, from sources deemed to
be well informed, indicate that next
year's school . gppropriajpns are go-
ing to be reduced perhaps as much
ap 50 per cent below the amounts
of last year and the year before. It
appears that school children and
school teachers will have plenty of
time during the next year or two to
work at other jobs. Parents are
concerned for the school progress of
their children—but somebody ought
to be concerned about the imediate
future of the teacher. Many of them
have spent thousands of dollars and
many years of their time preparing
for their profession—but, even un-
der the most favorable conditions,
they have found themselves earning
a lower annual salary than the
wages paid to unskilled labor on
many jobs. Moreover, the teachers
have never had full time employ-
ment, and they are expected to
dress and contribute of their means
like banjierB and people in the bet-
paid professions.
Americanism is an unfailing love
of country; loyalty to its institu-
tions and ideals; eagerness to defend
it against all enemies; undivided al-
legiance to the flag; and a desire to
secure the blessings of liberty to
oprselves and posterity.—Selected. :p

GOVERNMENT LOANS CAN BE
A CURSE-OR A BLESSING
The government loan agency for farmers will begin to function locally
next week. These loans can be of great benefit to our fanners if the' object
in granting these loans is carried out. There are two main objects: First,
to enable the farmer to make a crop but conditioned on his promise to
reduce his cotton acreage. Second, to enable the farmer to produce food
for his family and his animals. Unless these objects are carried out these
loans will be a cufSe aild not a benefit. To loan the farmer money to raise
cotton when we already have a surplus that cannot be sold for enough to
meet the cost of production would be the height of folly; but to loan him
money to enable him to carry on so he can raise his food is a life saver.
It would be difficult, except for these loans, for very many of our farm-
ers to keep off the Red Cross list.—The Marshall Morning News.
That’s a truth, a truth that we all can afford to think about—and heed.
Last year Smith county did not avail itself of government seed and crop
loans to as large an extent, comparatively, as many of her neighboring
counties did. However, it appears that there will be more applicants in
the county for-such loans this year. Under conditions that are normal, or
even nearly normal, we doubt if any sane citizen would approve of gov-
ernment loans for private and individual purposes, even if he would approve
such loans for any purpose. It's blit the ToW "truth to say that the people
have ceased to think of the government as an institution which they ought
to support—and millions of them, it appears, are regarding the govern-
ment as an institution which ought to support them. Every dollar that
the government spends, or lends for any purpose, is a dollar that the gov-
ernment has to take out of somebody’s pocket by taxation. There’s a gen-
eral notion in the minds of people that the government has been partial
to certain favorites who have fattened at public expense—a general notion
that the avei-age man hasn’t gotten a square deal at the hands of govern-
ment. That notjon goes further with the belief that the present plight of
the people, the average of the people, is due to-this partiality to one class
and to the “raw deal” that the governmenrh&s given the other class.
A consciousness of that injustice, or supposed injustice, \s what makes
the people mad—what makes the average man willing to accept favors at
the. hands of the government from which old American traditions have
hitherto spurned the proffer of aid, except in cases of extreme public dis-
aster. That notion, if it prevails long enough in the minds of the people,
provides the soil and cultivates the seed of socialism and bolshevism. That
notion, if it preavils long enough, will rob the average man of a sense of
security and of his consciousness of his political independence and ade-
quacy to make his government provide and maintain the ideals of equal-
ity of opportunity, which is the very bedrock foundation of our Republic.
Today the average man is smarting under a sense of injustice, because
the average man, somehow, feels that Wall Street, and possibly the com-
bined money barons of the whole darth, in the enjoyment of special favors
from the government, have combined and schemed and robbed and plun-
dered^—and thus brought on the econojnlfc debacle that is now the chief
concern of the governmnet, that today is challenging the very best thought
of the best minds. V
We have got to get back to the bedrock principles ‘upon which this
government .Was founded. The average man feels that if he must be en-
slaved economically that billionaire favorites of government may plunder
the Nation it is time for him to acept any favors he can get—and tim& to
strike at his plunderers with any means he may command, whether legal
and constitutional br not. The average man prefers lawful means of re-
dress—but hope oft deferred maketh the heart sad. The average man
asks only a square deal at the hands of government—if that shall not ap-
pear in prospect fox; him it may be (as it hath been in other lands and
other times) that he will'turn’Sampson afld pull down' the house above his

Djxie, our fine rural neighbor to the
west, states that the increase in
scholastic population, or to quote
more exactly, in school enrollment,
within the past sixteen months has
been 80 per cent. At the beginning
of the school term in September,
1931, the enrollment was 189— the
present enrollment, sixteen months
later, is 340—an increase of 151 pu-
pils.
This very notable increase evi-
dently implies a great increase in
the population of the school district.
Dixie has experienced no oil boom,
as have some of the schools in the
southeastern part of the county.
How is the increase to be account-
ed for?
If we might venture an explana-
tion, we would say first that Dixie
is ap inviting and wholesome com-
munity in which to live. In addition
to Dixie's fine and progressive peo-
ple, the community has good land.
Then, some years ago the people of
Dixie had the vision to build and
equip a school plant adequate to
serve its needs then with some pro-
vision for larger service as the
years should roll by. More than
that, Dixie’s school patrons have
been willing to sacrifice for their
school and to co-operate with then-
boards of trustees and their school
faculty—and the school board has
usually been fortunate in the selec-
tion of a capable faculty.
These would be our explanations
for what may be said to be the phe-
nomenal increase in the community’s
population. However, there may be
another factor contributing to this
end. It is said that when periods of
economic depression come the cities
and towns return much of their pop-
ulation voluntarily to the land —
because, after all, it is the land, the
open spaces, upon which people must
depend for sustenance, for bread. It
has always been so in every land—
and it may be observed that at this
lime .there—is., mare of. destitution in
the cities, more of want and less
for people to do whereby they may
sustain themselves, than is the case
in the rural sections. That may ac-
count in part for Dixie’s growth.
We wonder whether there are many
other rural school communities in
the county which have experienced a
considerable increase in.. schoiastie-j talk to the student body. He was

The New York Times, pondering
the high cost of barber . service to
the members pf the United States
Senate, took time to uncover the
fact that there are 20 Baldheaded
Senators. Yet shaves, hair tonics,
and other trimmings, which the
Senators charge to Uncle Sam’s ac-
count, came to about twice as much
as they would be if every Senator
got ft daily shave and a Weekly hair-
cut. ’l^’^ nlHety-six' members of the
Senate' also got outside of about
25,000 bottles of mineral waters, at
the public expense, this being at
the rate of nine bottles a week for
the session for each Senator.
Altogether these luxuries provided
by the Senate for itself at public
cost aggregate about as much as
the official senatorial salary. Some-
body with an instinct for figures re-
cently deduced that a parking place
for the automobiles provided for
members of Congress by Congress
costs the public purse more than
L$300 a day.
The salaries paid for others than
Senators ''connected with the Senate
aggregate more than the total of
Senators’ salaries. Thus a Senator
is an -even more costly institution
than is indicated by his salary plus
prequisites. —Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram. v
Look-a-here, Senator Sheppard —
you and Senator Connally—we peo-
ple down here in Texas don’t want
to believe that‘"Stir United States
Senators from Texas can 'willingly
be a party to such useless and urn
called-for extravagance as your fine
friend, The Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram, calls attention to in the fore-
going. Whoever is to blame for this
extravagance and wastefulness, we
people down here in Texas feel that
it is unjustifiable, shameful — and*
probably unconstitutional. Qf course,
it wouldn’t bust the government to-
continue these extraordinary — and
unjustifiable—expenses on behalf of
the Senators. But we people down
here in Texas have got an idea that
if you United States Senators would
cut out so durn much extravagance
in the small things that immediate-
ly pertain to your own official con-
duct you would then be in position
to see more clearly how to cut out
some of the larger expenses of oth-
er branches of the government. Is
there no statesmanship up there in
Washington, Senators ShapparrT and
Connally, except that “statesman-
atwpN ihai thinks of nothing azeapt,
to spend more money, plunge the
government deeper and deeper into
debt—and pile higher and higher the
tax burdns under which the people
are already crushed and in despair?
You distinguished and "favorite
sons of Texas” haven't made a rep-
Texas don’t want you to pass the
buck in this instance—we want you
to don your war paint, grab your
by if you will — but Texas
stand by you if you won’t.

population. If there are it may be
that the receding depression, when
viewed in its effects at a later pe-
riod, will be set down as having
much good in it. Our President, in
his inaugural address last Saturday,
took note of the unfortunate lack of
balance between the populations of
rural and urban communities. *

He stressed the importance of right
