Journal Editorial Was
“Heard” in Washington
Well, these “newspaper guys" nev-
now what pood their editorials
do—nor what harm, it may bo
t -Our-reader# know that we
been “squeaking like a mouse,"
not roaring like a lion, in behalf
economy in governmental expen-
ures and for a reduction in the
tax burdens. Maybe our “squeaks”
have been productive of some good.
The following, letter from a promi-
nent business tpan of Tyler bringing
a letter and an address by Senator
Tom Connally would imply as much:

Dear Mr. Edwards:
Some weeks ago I clipped an

omy and mailed it in for the at-
g tention of Senators Sheppard

Connally’s acknowledgement,

you so that you may know ths.t
you and your paper have been
given due credit for your timely
article some days ago in behalf
of economy in governmental af-
fairs.
Yours very truly,
W. V. Henson.
Senator Connally’s letter to the
writer of theforegoing follows:
Dear Mr. Henson:
Senator Sheppard has referred
to me the clipping from The
Tyler Journal which.....you for-
warded to him and which I
have read carefully.
Let me say that I have urged
of Texas’ Junior Senator for reduc-
tion of governmental expenditures,
he concludes his address to the Sen-
ate thus:
"Summarizing, Mr. President, let
me observe that the first process in
a proper revamping of the Govern-
ment finances is now to reduce- tax-
ation to the lowest point; second, to
give the President wide and plenary
authority to reorganize the Federal
Government and to remove useless
activities; third, have the Secretary
of the Treasury refinance and re-
fund at lower rates of interest the
six or “seven billion dollars of Gov-
ernment obligations that are out-

standing at high rates of interest, Meadows, by the small margin of
and thus save to us $30,000,000; and,
finally, for the Congress to hesitate
long before it undertakes in such a
period as this to lay a more galling
burden upon the’ people in the form
of taxes which they can not pay.
“Mr. President, according to my
view, the adoption of these four
proposals would complete a program
of Federal financing and Federal re-
organization that would not only be
of great public service to the people
of this Republic but would meet with
their whole-hearted and whole-soul-
ed approval.” *

a
ough reading of my speech on
this subject, herewith attached,
will convince you of my sincer-
ity in this regard.
Sincerely,
Torn Connally.
Some extracts from Senator Con-
nally’s speech in the Senate show
his sincerity, his understanding of
the budgetary matter# of the gov-
ernment—and that he has rather
“upbraided” his fellow-senators for
their frequent attitude of shouting
economy and voting against it; as
for example:
“I have seen Senators with vehe-
mence and - heat stand upon this
floor and declaim about doing away
with useless bureaus and abolishing
useless boards and commissions, and
yet when the roll is Called on cut-
ting appropriations they answer
"No/’
1 “Mr. President, that is not the
only economy that we can effect.
After the departments are reorgan-
ized, the next step, in a proper bal-
ancing of the budget, according to
my view, would be for the new Sec-
retary of the Treasury to inaugu-
rate a widespread refunding of Gov-
ernment obligations. The Govern-
-Jk ment of the United States annually
pays out over $700,000,000 in inter-
est. Many of its bonds are bearing
4 1-4 and 4 1-2 per cent interest,
and about $6,000,000,000 of them
are callable within the next year or
so. The money market is such that
money can be obtained for much
lower rates of interest, and I be-
lieve that if the new Secretary of
the Treasury would inaugurate a
refunding program he could proba-
bly save the American people from
$200,000,000 to $300,000,000 annual;
ly in the interest rates on Govern-
ment bonds.” / -

Put That Dollar To Work !
im
v
®i
Ml;
A dollar spent-.—now for
construction or maintenance
of property is in for a very
busy, time," ’
It enters the . pocket of
the workman on the job. It
goes to the local dealer who
sells you the supplies and
materials. It passes thru
the hands of the transpor-
tation companies that carry
"them from the factory to
you. It spends a time in the
coffers of the concern man-
ufacturing them, and from
there goes to its employes.
It visits the related con-
cerns selling raw materials
and basic supplies to the
manufacturer. It goes to
the government in taxes,
and to the investor in the
form of dividends. And, fi-
nally, it starts the cycle
all over again, when some-
one else uses it for improv-
ing his own property.
This little dollar, too, has
an amazing purchasing
power at this time. It will
buy more lumber, more
paint, more electric wiring,
more of ‘ similar supplies,
and employ more labor
than it has for several dec-
"ades past.. It will give you a
chance to improve and in-
crease the value of your
property at rock-bottom
bargain prices. If you keep
it in hiding, it’s worthless
—only by taking it out and
putting ft to work can yon
and others gain its potential

Hebron, May 10.—An all-day pro-
gram with dinner on the ground will
be held Thursday at the school
house, marking the closing of a
school year that is punctuated with
many remarkable records that bear
emphasis to the efforts of the facul-
ty and the student body in making
this a successful term of-school.
An unusually close margin for
high honors in the Hebron Bchool
was displayed in the record of Dor-
ris Grice winning highest honors
over her closest competitor,' J. D,
three-fourths of one per cent dif-
ference in the average of their
grades for the year. Other record®
of hoiiorabfe mention go to Hubert
Meadows who won a coveted prize
which was given by the teachers for
having the best : prepared lessons
during the year for the grades from
fourth to seventh; and to Doyal
Grice who had the best prepared
lessons among the students below
the fourth grade. Each of these
prizes was a beautifully bound book
on a appropriate subject for the
age of the respective winners. Four
students completed the school term
with a record of no absent or tardy
marks on their reports, an achieve-
ment that in itself is unusual and
commendable, and each was pre-
sented with a gift by the P. T. A.
Graduating exercises for the sev-
enth grade will be held in the school
.auditorium Friday night at 7:30
o’clock. There are six in the gradu-
ating class and a program of songs,
pantomine, and drills has been ar-
ranged for the evening’s entertain-
ment. These graduates will continue
their course of study in the Tyler
school next year._ -

drug stores in several Texas towns
under the name of “Ward’s Drugs &

The new firm’s first customer was
0. F. Davis of Rt. 2, Tyler.
The Senior Ward left Wednesday
evening for Oklahoma to supervise
the shipment of stocks from there,
meanwhile placing orders through
his son, J. L. Ward, Jr., at Dallas
for large shipments from that
city. The younger Ward will be gen-
eral manager of the Tyler store

arranged and. more space provided in
the rear for special lunch rooms and
cream parlor. J. L. Ward, Jr., will
move to Tyler and the working per-
sonnel will all be local people. The
elder Ward states that he likes the
city, its churches, its people and its
beauty so well that he expects to
spend . much time here — and that
it may be a fight on his part to
keep, front 'making this city his bus-
iness headquarters end residential
home.
