Ike Better Democrat Than
Adlai, Says Supporter
A bunch of us were standing
•round talking the other day, and
the talk got around to politics like
it usually does. Some of the boys
mid they’d voted for Ike in ’52
•nd Were going to do it again;
«me of them said they’d always
voted the Democratic ticket
straight and always expected to
—you know how it goes around a
little Texas town.
One fellow said something that
wade the rest of us stop and
ttunk. He said he was a Democrat,
•ore—always had been, and his
father and grandfather before
him. And he always felt like he
kad to vote for the best Democrat
Sn the race, which he was going
to do this year.
'And that means," he said,
"that I’ll have to cast my vote for
Ike Eisenhower. He’s a better
Democrat, by my definition of a
Democrat, than that other fel-
low ever wilt be.”
And besides that, he said, Ike
kept his promises to Texas and
Texas ought to return the favor
keeping Ike.
You know, he might have had
aomething there. “Gratitude” is
one of the greatest words in the
Snglish language, and we all like
to think of ourselves as being
pateful when people do some-
thing for us. Like I heard a man
one time: “Texans are people
who never forget anything that is
gone TO them—or FOR them.”
That’s the way we think of our-
wlves, and it’s about right.
This Eisenhower man pointed
that Ike promised to give the
TMelands back to Texas, and he
kept that promise; he promised to
<0 his best to close out Mr. Tru-
«*a’s war in Korea, and he kept
«dv. paid for by Texas Democrat!
that promise, and he promised to
give us a government in Washing-
ton that we could be proud of,
because it was clean and honest
and efficient—and, in this man’s
opinion, he had kept that promise,
“I know you’re reading and
hearing a lot of stuff to the con-
trary,” he told us, "coming from
Brother Stevenson and Brother
Kefauver and the rest of the poli-
ticians on the other side. That’s
politics for you. Everybody ex-
pects them to jump on Ike every
way they can, and I guess they’ll
keep on doing it right up to Nov.
6. But the American people are
smarter than some politicians give
them credit for being, and before
they vote they’re going to sit
down and ask themselves this
question:
“Remembering 1952, when our
boys were dying in Korea and
the newspapers were full of talk
about mink coats and Communists
and corruption in Washington—
now, be honest about it: If you
could, would you go back to 1952
and start over with Adlai Stev-
enson instead of Dwight D, Eisen-
hower?”
This man said he wouldn’t, and
come to think of it, I wouldn’t
either. As a matter of fact, I
think Ike has made us one of the
best presidents we ever had. If we
had to go to war, I’d certainly
rather have him at the head of
our government than any other
living American. But even more
importantly—I’m convinced he is
the best man to keep up OUT of
war.
, That’s why I still like Ike*,
better than evert _ .

TAX COLLECTOR
Over $7,000,000 in State Taxes
—and Texas gets its share!
Did you know that in 1956 the Rock Island will pay $7,359,879.18
in taxes to the fourteen states comprising its territory?
That’s a lot of money. But then the Rock Island States of Amer-
ica comprise a lot of territory.
In one sense the Rock Island is a part of these states, and we
expect to do our share in meeting such civic expenses as school
operations, road building, even salaries for city, county or state
officials.
|
So we pay our taxes cheerfully and hope to continue doing so
for many years to come.
There is this to add:
Whenever you see a ROCKET FREIGHT train roll by loaded
with products and materials of all kinds
—or watch a sleek looking ROCKET glide swiftly over the land-
scape carrying a goodly number of passengers
I
—be glad!
For, remember, some of the revenue these Rock Island trains
earn eventually becomes tax money, which will be
paid to Texas and other states to help them to
continue to live... and to grow... and to prosper.

Somewhere in the blueprint stage ...
this is a statement that’s being made
more and more often. There’s
wisdom behind it, too. Building a
new home without an electric kitchen
is somewhat like building a
1940 model automobilel So, if you’re
planning anew home, build it to modem
standards... be sure your architect’s
specifications provide for an
all-electric kitchen including the latest
in electrical cooking, dishwashing
and other conveniences... and really get
your money’s worth of modem living.

The heart of the home
is the kitchen. Make it

electric appliances .. .
