THE SAD CHEERLEADERS
Not too many years ago, the people of the United States were
treated to the spectacle of seeing a corps of professional "bleed-
ing hearts," most of them’on the Federal payroll, serving as the
cheering section when the government began getting into this
business of serving as the parent and guardian of the security of
its citizens.
With loud, shrill, and undoubtedly effective voices, the foyous
cheerleaders promoted the socialistic theory that primarily the
government owed support to its people. They sneered at the tradi-
tional American theory that the people owed support to their
government. Oddly enough, the names of some of these cheer-
leaders have recently been popping up with inefeasing frequency
in connection with treason and espionage trials and in the memoirs
of "reformed" communists.
But while the going was good, the self-styled "liberals" sold
their idea of the "welfare state" to hundreds of thousands, even
millions, of people, of people who foresaw a paradise of security
paid for by the system crudely known as "soaking the rich."
\ Well, the "rich," the "corporations," the "manufacturers," did
pick up the checks'for quite a while. The cheerleaders drowned
out their warnings that the government, like a man eating pea-
nuts, would not be satisfied to stop with rifling the pockets of
business and industry alone.
But so it has come to pass, The Federal government eyed the
paycheck of the "little man," the very one the "liberals" said
would benefit from "soaking the rich." And now a person who
makes as little as $12.00 a week pays the income tax.
The only sad consolation which can be taken by ihose who
so clearly foresaw and so often warned that such a situation would
inevitably arise is the fact that hordes of the "liberals" are now
themselves whining and groaning under the tax lash. They no
longer serve in the cheering section. For somehow, "bleeding
hearts" never seem to like to pick up any checks themselves.
The other night, for example,
the Senate Highways and Motor
Traffic Committee heard witnesses
for and against House Bill 11,
which provides that trucks found
to be overloaded must unload on
the spot.
The House of Representatives
had already passed the bill, with
an amendment providing that if
the load consists of livestock, the
truck may proceed to the next
place with facilities to take care
of the..animals*,
A large number—perhaps 400—
attended the Senate committee
hearing. Many of these were truck
operators. Others were dairymen
and fruit growers, who depend up-
on trucks to haul for them.
At the request of the committee,
Col. Homer Garrison, director of
the Department of Public Safety;
and Robert J. Potts, a member of
the Highway Commission, were
present to answer questions.
Railroad and truck associations
were represented.
After hearing a number of
witnesses, the cbmmittee adopted
two amendments to the bill. These
would:
1. Give trucks a leeway, or
“tolerance allowance” of five per
cent of the gross weight or ten
per cent of the axle weight.
Texas law now provides for a
gross truck weight of 48,000
pounds and an axle load of 18,000
pounds.
2. Permit the driver to unload
only enough to make the correc-
tion in case of axle load violation
without gross load violation. Or he
could rearrange his load to make
the correction, if possible, with-
out unloading
The committee then passed the
bill with the amendments.
CAPTURE ENEMY FLAG . . . After removing • North Korean flag
from the goto to Yongdeng, n tnborb of Seoul, these Z5th dlvlalon fight-
er* proudly display their price. Tbelr unit has been leading the at-
tach on Seoul, which the Redo seem to have decided to defend strong-
ly. Dispatches from the front announce that 25th division fighters en-
tered Seoul, but were driven back across the Hon river by the attack-
ing Reds in a fierce defense of Communist poaiUsus.
Other amendments were offer-
ed, but they were tabled, which
means that they will not be a
part of the bill as it goes to the
floor of the Senate.
When the bill gets on the Sen-
ate floor, it is possible that other
amendments may be offered.
What happens is entirely up to
the Senators—they can defeat the
bill if they want to, send it back
to the committee, send it to an-
other committee, or simply forget
about it.
Let’s say that the Senate passes
the bill with amendments.
'Then it will have to go back
to the House of Representatives
for approval (concurrence is the
parliamentary word) of the Senate
amendments. When the House
concurs in the Senate amend-
ments, then the bill is finally
passed and ready for the gover-
nor’s signature—or veto.
But if the House does not con-

cur in the Senate amendments,
then the bill must go to a joint
committee of House and Senate
members to work out some kind of
a compron^e.
The bill can be finally passed
if both houses accept the report
of the joint committee.
To those unfamiliar with the
workings of the Legislature, the
process may seem long and com-
plex—but that’s the way it is
done.
The idea is—as envisioned by
the founders of our state govern-
ment—that bills ought to receive
full discussion, long and careful
consideration, before they become
laws that govern the lives and
activities of citizens.
The twelfth annual Texas Safety
Conference will be held in San
Antonio at the Gunter Hotel Mar.
26-27. This is the first year that
there has been a Farm, and Ranch
Section in Connection with the
Safety Conference. Farm men and
women representing the farm or-
ganization of the county are urged
to attend the conference. Hotel
reservations should be made as
early as possible.
Mrs. L .N. Sweeney, Sinton, who
was appointed Civil Defense Lead-
er for the San Patricio County
Home Demonstration Council has
announced that a course in Home
Care of the Sick will begin Tues-
day night, March 13, at 7:00 P. M.,
in the H. E. Building in Sinton.
Miss Virginia Hardwick, who is a
Red Cross trained instructor will
conduct the class. Anyone wishing
to take the course should contact
Mrs. Sweeney or go to the first
class. Those attending should
bring a large bath towel, a hand
towel, and a wash cloth. Every
community should have at least
one person take the course.

To The Man
Who Takes My Place
I want to give a little toast
To a fellow I’ll never know.
To the fellow that will take my
place
When it’s time for me to go.
I’ve wondered what kind of a
chap he’ll be,
And.Td like to take his hand,
And whisper, “I wish you well,
old man,”
In a way that he’d understand,
Pd like to give him that cheer-
ing word
That IVe often longed to hear,
And would like to pass it
To the fellow that’s'
take my place
Some day when I am gone.'
Will he see all the sad
I’ve made
And note ail the battles lost?
Will he ever guess at the tea.. ,,
they brought
Or the heart aches that they
cost?
But I’ve only the task itself to
leave, ,
With the cares for him to face,
And never a cheering word from
me •
To the fellow who’ll tako my
place.
I wish yon all success, old chap,
May your wishes be never de-
nied,
I leave an unfinished task for
But God knows how I’ve tried. If
I’ve dreamed my dreams, as all
men do,
But very few came true;
And my prayer today ia that all
these .dreams
May be realized by you.
We shall meet some day in the
great beyond,
Out in that realm of space,
You’ll know my clasp as I take
your hand
And gaze into your face.
Thqn all our failures will be a
success
In the light of the new found
dawn;
And ril wish success to the man
Who’ll take my place when Tm
gone.

SPENDING BINGE MUST END
, The proposed taxes for the next fiscal year-Federal, state and
local-including $16,5 billion additional recommended by the
President, would represent roughly 32 percent of the national in-
come, the equivalent of about $2,137 per family as compared
with $360 per family in 1939.
Experience throughout history has shown that tax payments
of more than 25 percent of national income eventually brought
economic chaos and ruin to any nation that indulged in such reck-
less dissipalion of the earnings of its citizens.
No American worthy of the name begrudges one single
penny necessary to set up an impregnable defense against the
threat of Communism. But it is disturbing that in the same budget
calling for the largest tax burden in our history, we find the Ad-
ministration still insisting on carrying out its Fair Deal program
by recommending expansion of the unemployment insurance pro-
gram; socialized medicine; extension of Federal power projects;
government housing and public works; and a substantial increase
in Federal aid to public schools.
Surely this is no time to extend luxurious government serv-
icet. We are engaged in a struggle for survival against a nation
whose people are accustomed to hardship and whose living
standards are barely above the subsistence level. On the other
hand, the morale of the American people has been weakened by
20 years of pampering by a wildspending, paternalistic govern-
ment. *
This is a time when we must demand efficiency and frugality
of all governmental activities from the Federal government to the
smallest hamlet. State and local governments, which represent
about 150,000 spending units, expend annually around $18 bil-
lion. Every effort should be made to appraise the value and im-
portance of each particular service, and funds should only be
appropriated on the basis of necessity rather than desirability. It
borders on the asinine that there should be wanton waste by gov-
ernments when the taxpayers who furnish the money must practice
the moat rigid economies in their personal and family affairs.
We mutt stop kidding ourselves that the mounting tax bills
will be paid by the big fellows. The bottom of the big fellows’
barrel has been scraped. The Federal Government must now dig
deeply into the pockets of us little fellows. In its recent report to
the President, the Council of Economic Advisers stated: "... by
far the largest part of the additional revenue must come from the
^middle and lower tax brackets. These are the brackets in which
.( the great bulk of the income is located "
|- All of ua mutt now "kick in." The day of reckoning is here.
; We must now pay for the spending binge of the past 21 years,
during 19 of whidt our Federal Government spent more than it
| toojt in. We have a Federal debt of $256 billion hanging over our
a .-beads. We must pay as we go from here on or face national bank-
| ruptcy.
Let ua not forget that our Federal finance is closely interlinked
our national security. The battle for survival can be lost,
, continue to waste our resources on
beyond our capacity, we will only
