PRESS
to these facilities already available
and to be made available in larger
measure, the farmers have gotten
small loans to finance their plant-
ing, directly through their county
agents; they have gotten “plow-up”
money; and are renting their cotton
lands to the Government for - next
year and getting cash for that.
More than that, pricer, of most farm
commodities have doubled nearly, or
quite, within the past eight months
It does seem that the Government is
doing all within its power to reha-
bilitate agriculture.
We hope that all these extra-gov-
't. ernmental aids may prove all for
the best for farmers. We feel that
agriculture has never had its proper
rights heretofore, in that, it na.- for
more than a half century been the
victim of a tariff policy that has
impoverished it and made “bloated
Hllionairts” of certain industrialists
of ; North and East. We don't say
'.hat agriculture is gening its just
lights row—it may be getting
im • or it may he getting less.
The thing we could wish f r is that
the Nation, its agriculture, its in-
dustry, its commerce and transpor-
tation might all attain a place
wherein it would not be necessary
for the Government to divert its ac-
tivities from its proper function of
governing into channels that are
leading us we know not whither. :
SHOULD GOVERNMENT DO
MORE ?
There is an authentic news item
in this issue, emanating from the
Federal Land Bank of Houston that
ought to be of special interest to
farmers and those whose prosperity
depends upon the prosperity of the
farmers. It recites the setting up in
Texas of three government credit
agencies for the farmers and ranch-
men in addition to the Federal Land
Bank whose functions most of us
now understand. As one reads the
article he can but wonder if the
Government could with propriety be
asked to do more for the agricultu-
ral producers than these several ag-
encies propose to do. In addition to
the Federal Land Bank, which since
1917 has been making it easier to
pay for and improve farm homes,
there are now available for further
aid to the farmers the Federal In-
termediate Credit Bank, the Produc-
tion Credit Corporation and the
Bank for Co-operatives. In addition
Our front page carried a news
item last week showing the amounts
of taxes delinquent in Smith and
seven or eight nearby East Texas
counties—and also the amounts of
taxes that had been collected for the
preceding fiscal year in these coun-
ties. This data was compiled by C.
A. Jay, an old Smith county boy
now residing in Dallas, who is go-
ing to official sources for his infor-
mation. It is, therefore, presumed to
be correct. Smith county, as of the
date the figures were compiled, was
shown to have collected $315,-
450.49—and to have outstanding and
uncollected $190,925.28. Many of the
counties in East Texas had not col-
lected 50% of their taxes. The re-
port from Mr. Jay showed East
Texas Counties to have paid up bet-
ter than given groups of counties
in other parts of the state. Wood
county, we believe, showed up bet-
ter than any other county in our
own group, in that it had collected
$240,491.49 and had outstanding and
unpaid $80,413.28, or approximately
one-third. Putting it another way,
Wood county had collected about
67% of its taxes. These figures,
.compiled by Mr. Jay, are truly start-
ling in two respects. They show
first that people are not able to pay
taxes as willingly and readily as in
former days—and then, too, they
leave ground for the inference that
there is a definite if not greatly ad-
vertised taxpayers’ strike on. That
brings on more talk—what are we
going to do about it? :p
can be made more easily — and
that gives you time to wrap and
pack them more securely — and it
also gets them into the mails at a
time when the peak of Christmas
mails will not have been reached.
Half the joy of receiving a Christ-
mas gift is subtracted if that gift
' anives after Christmas day. :p
When there are two sides to a
contention, it is a pretty good sign
that the arbiter, or the boss, is on
the right track if neither side is
quite entirely satisfied with his
course. All right then: Roosevelt’s
monetary policies have brought forth
the ire of Gov. A1 Smith and Prof.
So-nnd-So, and one or two othej
lesser lights in his own political
party; but, on the other hand, Sen-
ator Borah and a whole raft of oth-
er lesser lights who have hitherto
affiliated with the Republican party
have come to the President's side.
It must be that if the President is
not on the right track he is headed
in the right direction and going
down a road that will get him on
the right track pretty soon. :p
“When the strength and wisdom
of man fails, there is an inexhaus-
tible source Above, yielded to us thru
prayer.” Thus we have heard for
many years. We just wonder if peo-
ple any longer place any reliance
upon that teaching—or if they ever
try it out in their times of perplex-
ity, confusion and doubt. :p
service” leaves the impression that
the guy must take us to be some
kind of a phool with an unprintable
adjective before it. :p

UNCLE SAM SAYS
At your postoffice you will see a
big placard carrying the following
suggestions from Uncle Sam:
“Shop and mail now for Christ-
mas—wrap parcels securely—address
fnnfl plainly— include (addressee’s)
street and number.
“Place your own name and ad-
dress on all mail.
“Only Special Delivery matter-
will be delivered on Christmas day.”
Uncle Sam has given you some
suggestions that, if you heed them,
will be of double value to you this
year. You know that parcel post
and ordinary mail are not delivered
on Sunday. Christmas day comes on
Monday—two holidays right togeth-
er—which means that if you do not
get your gifts into the mails in
time for the recipients to receive
them on Saturday, or before, there
will be a big accumulation of mail
that can’t reach its destination till
after Christmas day. Furthermore,
there is more of satisfaction in buy-
ing your gifts early when selections
MEMORIAL PARK
Tyler, Texas
( About a year ago we foresaw the need of a new burial park for Tyler
and surrounding territory. That Thought has now developed into a beautiful
reality:
THE IDEAL BURIAL PARK
Our decision to develop Memorial Park into an exceptionally beautiful
modern burial estate for Tyler and surrounding cities was arrived at
after a careful survey and study of local conditions as to available
burial property. Reasonable provisions for present and future needs of
this popular and growing city and surrounding territory demand that
additional burial space be provided; removed far enough from the
encroachment, of the city, yet near enough for the convenience of the
families of the city and adjacent communities. It is generally recog-
nized that these increased facilities should he in the form of the modern
idea of a Memorial Park; and that this is in the ideal location for such
a development.
MANY ATTRACTIVE FEATURES
Fellows from New York, Denver,
Houston and Fort Worth keep on
writing us to subscribe for their
“Bond and Security Investment Mar-
ket Service.” Wo are not going to
subscribe for anything of the kind,
— and we would be afraid to j
monkey with Wall Street and stock]
exchanges even if we had a j ill ion!

right now is how to pay our taxes, j
interest, insurance and wipe out)
some obligations representing losses j
that the little old boat had to incur
two and three years ago to keep
from going on the rocks. These
problems are pressing on us about
like a steam roller would on a small
bullfrog that had hopped up on the
pavement in front of the machine.
We regard it as a compliment to
our “financiering ingenuity” if a fel-'
low asks Us now to change a five-
dollar bill—but for any guy to ask
us to subscribe to an "investment

"Howie-Watson Building
The modern conception of ,a burial park, without tombstones, mounds,
or any of the gruesome characteristics which make the old type ceme-
tery oppressive and repellent. MEMORIAL PARK will typify the mod-
ern burial estate in all its wonderous beauty. Graves will be marked
with bronze slabs set in granite or concrete flush with the ground, per-
mitting the cutting of the lawn. Flower beds, shrubs and beautiful
lawns together with sunken gardens, rustic bridges, electric fountains,
winding roads, will make this a place of tranquil beauty and quiet dig-
nity. We seek by this introduction of artistic surroundings to provide
a haven of peace in the midst of a busy, work-a-day world; a retreat
in which the living as well as the dead find rest and serenity.
