State CAPITOL
Haw much makes a difference?
Just how much it requires to make a difference depends
upon the size of the thing in which we are interested.
And when we determine the thing that is creating the dif-
ference we, by the same token, get somewhat of a concept of
the size of the persons who permit differences.
And if those differences spread out over the community
and imperil the general good feeling and harmony of the people,
then we have a disturbance which inevitably will do damage
to the city as a whole, making differences to the possible point
of lawsuits, lasting enmities and bringing about an economic
hurt to all of us.
If the dispute is over the matter of weighing a pound of
steak, then it takes very little to make a difference and a few
ounces will very likely bring on some contention.
But if the matter is that of weighing a world, then there
can hardly be any real ground for differences. Nolan R. Best
says the world weighs so many thousand billion, billion tons.
He may be right, so we will not contend the case, even if he
is shorting us 100 billion tons. The reason is we are weighing
a world.
The smaller the things might be over which a quarrel arises
the smaller persons we show ourselves to be and the greater
menace to the community's general good do we become. And
in that case, it takes very little to make a difference between
persons, groups whether churches or lodges and even Round Up
Clubs and Quarter Horse groups.
Which brings us to the point that if those parties who are
contesting their case before 1he court, will remember they are
fellow citizens, all belonging to possibly the same church, lodge,
civic club or Chamber of Commerce, then for the sake of the
greater things of our city, why not drop the smaller thing and
unite in helping to lift a world. That will give us something to
shoot at that will make us work shoulder to shoulder, and when
we get paired up like that, the matter of geniality, brotherhood
and good citizenship will stand out to the good of all. That
will give us something else about which to think.
Denison never had a better outlook than now. We are tug-
ging at the job of rolling this old world around a bit and the
job is attracting industries of which we never dreamed. We
should not let the San-ballats of the valley life drag us down
from atop the wall which we are building. To do so will divide
us and we shall fail to measure up to the full measure of good
Denisonians who should consider the Denison of tomorrow in
which our sons and daughters must live.
There must be some common ground for fullest coopera-
tion and a court of law for such purposes will never take the
place of men who know how to work together. A lawsuit only
tears us apart and no one gets paid but the attorney.
New laws as to teenagers
The teen-age driver, generally speaking, probably is un-
aware that the 55th Texas Legislature has been acting toward
him something like a Dutch uncle.
Eventually the intelligence will seep through that some new
laws are on the statute books to change his young way of life.
For one, there's the new law which makes boys under 17
(and girls under 18) responsible for traffic violations.
Another gives the Dept, of Public Safety (the state police)
the say-so on whether youngsters under 16 years of age can
get a driver s license. Heretofore, the decision has rested with
♦he county judge, who wasn't known to be tough on the kids
when they were accompanied to his office by voting parents.
A third bill, which applies to vandalism, makes parents
legally responsible, up to $300, for the willful destruction of
property by minors.
Naturally, knowledge of these things is going to come as
a shock to the lad with the double-smitty who is given to jack-
rabbit starts at the green signal.
But we believe the effect will be wholesome in the long
run. We hope the flat-top crowd doesn't mind if we approve
of the Legislature s doings.—Ft. Worth Press
TH£ DENjSON pRESS
‘Entered ns second class matter May 15, 1947, .at the Post Office
at Denison, Texas, under the act of March 3, 1879.”
AUSTIN — Officially, Texas’
55th Legislature now is in the
history books. But the real story
comes within the next few months
when hundreds of new laws take
effect.
They’ll change people’s lives—
a little bit or a lot. Voter reaction
to these changes will provide
grist for the 56th session and
determine how many 55th legis-
lators will survive for the 56th.
Biggest issues of the past five
months were water, segregation,
reform measures, teacher pay and
insurance. Here’s what the law-
makers did:
WATER — Passed a proposed
constitutional amendment for a
$200,000,000 bond issue to help
local governments build dams and
reservoirs. Failed, despite frantic
last-minute efforts, to pass an-
other amendment for a $100,000,-
000 bond issue to buy water stor-
age space in federal reservoirs.
SEGREGATION — Passed two
of eight segregation bills. One al-
lows local school boards to assign
pupils to certain schools; other re-
quires local option election be-
fore schools can be integrated.
Another, requiring registration
of groups advocating integration
or segregation, was declared un-
constitutional by the attorney
general. He said it would violate
freedom of speech and press.
Other House-passed bills died on
the vine after repeated Senate
filibusters made it apparent it
would take all summer to get
them through.
OFFICIAL REFORM — Passed
code of ethics bill prohibiting
state officials and employes from
engaging in outside activity “in
conflict with the public interest.”
A sprinkling of officials already
have filed statements of their pri-
vate interest with the secretary
of state as stipulated in the law.
A lobbyist registration bill died
when the House and Senate
couldn’t iron out differences. A
host of others proposed as re-
forms were ditched earlier.
TEACHER PAY — Legislators,
with Gov. Price Daniel’s help,
found, after raking and scraping,
enough money to give each pub-
lic school teacher a $399 a year
raise. It meant recalling two oth-
er money bills, one to pay off
some old bonds and one to refund
taxes paid under an unconstitu-
tional law. Situation was tense
when Comptroller Robert S. Cal-
vert first ruled the state’s kitty
was $13,000,000 short of enough
to cover.
INSURANCE—Passed a host of
law's bringing a whole new sy-
stem headed by new men into the
battle-scarred Insurance Commis-
sion. Deadlock over a full-time or
part-time board w'as finally com-
promised with a full-time board
for one year, part-time there-
after. Policymaking board mem-
bers will get $15,000 a year when
working full time. Add to set-up
will be a full-time $30,000-a-year
Commissioner of Insurance who
will be top administrator.
Stemming mostly from the
multi-million-dollar ICT and US
Trust failures, several other bills
were passed placing stricter re-
quirements and limitations on in-
surance company officials. How-
ever, the Legislators fell flat on
their faces when it came to re-
quiring publication of financial
statements by insurance compan-
ies. The bill never got out of the
House Committee on Insurance.
So only those companies that
want the public to know will
print them.
AND THESE, TOO — Aside
from the big issues, scores of not-
so-major laws will cause Texans
to change their way of doing
things. Here are a few:
A “Scratched Ballot” is the on-
ly legal way to vote in future
elections. No more choice between
scratching and checking.
Texas Woman’* Univeriity at
Denton, once Texas State Col-
lege for Women and before that,
CIA, will be the nation’s first in
that category. Women have a
right to change their minds, rea-
soned salons. Besides, there were
hundreds of cute little coeds
around, a’lobbyin’.
State Judge*, both district and
appellate, will get raises of about
$3,000 a year apiece.
City Official* can be elected
for four instead of two years if
voters okay a proposed constitu-
tional amendment. Individual cit-
ies would then have to adopt the
four-year plan.
Flooded Lampasas and wind-
swipt Silverton would get $40,-
000 to help rebuild public prop-
erty under an emergency bill.
Price Daniel family will get a
better roof over its head. Money
was authorized to repair the Man-
sion ceiling that collapsed recent-
ly, just missing the governor.
Texas archives will get a brand
new building. Shunting of histor-
ical documents from barns to
basements to quonset huts in past
years had brought a hue and cry
from civic groups.
Auto license tags will cost 10
per cent more. Highway Depart-
ment is to use the extra funds to
share 50-50 with cities and coun-
ties, the cost of right-of-way for
new roads. Previously cities and
counties have had to bear all land
costs.
Governor’s signature is still
pending on many bills, of course,
but vetoes are not expected on
any of the above.
In addition, this legislature,
as others, passed literally hun-
dreds of “local and uncontest-”
ed” bills. These are ground out
in batches, usually without any-
one but the aiuthor knowing
what they do or why.
NEW FORCE—Future office-
seekers will have a new force to
reckon with—the Democrats of
Texas.
D.O.T., a new name for the old
Liberal-Loyalist wing of the par-
ty, has set itself two goals—to
gain control of the party machin-
ery in Texas and to put its adher-
ents in control of state govern-
ment.
Some 1,500 delegates from 106
counties attended the organizing
rally in Austin. Mrs. R. D. Ran-
dolph of Houston, Texas’ liberal-
minded national committeewoman,
was named leader. New U.S. Sen.
Ralph Yarborough flew down
from Washington to speak.
D.O.T. is frowned on by Gov-
ernor Daniel and Executive Com-
mittee Chairman Jim Lindsey. D.
O.T. charges them with “usurp-
ing” party control at the Fort
Worth convention.

road Commission has cut the June

pR ASSOCIATION
Three concepts—peace, justice
and liberty—underlie the foreign
policy of the United States. The
task is to realize those concepts
in a world of rapid and accelerat-
ing change.
This was said early in a speech
by Secretary of State Dulles,
made at the recent annual lunch-
eon of the Associated Press. It is
a speech of great interest, in that
it succinctly outlines this Admin-
istration’s attitude toward the
world at a time when our foreign
policy is being vigorously debat-
ed, and is subjected to both heavy
attack and aggressive defense.
That policy, as Dulles explains
is not based upon attempts to
preserve the status quo. It recog-
nizes that change is a law of life.
Therefore, “We seek to assure
that change will be benign and
not destructive, so that it will pro-
mote not merely survival but free-
dom and well-being.” A first re
quirement then, “is that the door
be firmly closed to change by
violent aggression.”
The collective security system
is designed to accomplish that.
Mr. Dulles certainly does not re-
gard it as perfect—as he says,
it “is subject to assaults from
without and to infirmities with-
in.” But he clearly feels that it
is working about as well as can
be expected, that it is and will re-
main the cornerstone of free
world policy.
Back of this policy, and the
principal deterrent to major war,
is mobile retaliatory power. This
is not just a matter of manufact-
uring huge stockpiles of nuclear
weapons of maximum destructive
effect along with the means to
take them to possible targets. It
may well be that we are in for
an era of so-called “little wars.”
Thus, there must be many kinds
of weapons, along with forces
capable of local action. The cost
of weapons is almost unbeliev-
ably high today, and many of
them become obsolete almost as
soon as they are produced. That
fact brings Mr. Dulles to defense
of the Administration's policy of
supplying military equipment to
allies. The United States, he says,
is the only free world country
able “to sustain the cost of de-
veloping a capacity for retaliation
adequate to deter a potential ag-
gressor who himself has great and
growing aggressive power.”
What this amounts to is an
arms race. We have been forced
into that. But no one, Mr. Dulles
least of all, thinks such a race
with the Russians is a real solu-
tion to anything. As he puts it,
“An arms race is costly, sterile
and dangerous.” So U.S. policy
is pledged to bring the race to
an end if and when that may be
possible.
One of the great political
changes of all times has occurred
in the last decade. In that short
period, in the free world orbit,
19 new nations with a total pop-
ulation of 700 million people have
been created. Other nations have
gained full as against partial sov-
ereignty. Of them Mr. Dulles
states: “We want the new inde-
pendence of others to be some-
thing better than a brief twilight
preceding the blackout of Com-
munist despotism.”
Mr. Dulles goes into detail as
to specific points of our policy-
some of which are highly con
troversia] while others are gener-
ally accepted by everyone. He
ends on a note of confidence that
we can, despite all risks, success-
fully “wage peace” and prevent
all-out nuclear war. In his words,
“Surely, our nation did not reach
a new peak of power and respon-
sibility merely to partake of the
greatest, and perhaps the last, of
all human disasters. If only we
are faithful to our past, we shall
not have to fear our future. The
cause of peace, justice and liber-
ty need not fail, and must not
fail.”
The lives and fortunes of many
millions of Americans are direct-
ly or indirectly influenced by for-
eign trade.
A booklet produced by the
United States Council of the In-
ternational Chamber of Com-
merce tells the story in brief
form. Today, believe it or not,
foreign trade provides more dir*
auto, chemical and stae
triaa combined. In 19m, exports
of American goods nnd services,
excluding grants of military
goods, reached n value of $23.4
billion, and imports totaled 819.7
billion. Putting it another way,
our export* now amount to just
over 8 per cent of all the movable
goods produced in this country,
and our imports of commodities
equal in value about 6 per cent
of our domestic production of
movable goods. We are the
world’s greatest trading nation,
and no other power has so great
a dollars-and-cents stage in for-
eign trade. On top of that, as the
booklet puts it, “The economic
health and military strength of
other friendly nations are intim-
ately affected by our foreign
trade.”
This trade, moreover, is not
limited to a comparatively small
number of enterprises. Nearly ev
ery branch of American industry
producing movable goods exports
some of its products. Since World
War II, agricultural exports have
produced roughly one-eighth of
total farm cash income. In non-
agricultural fields, the principal
exporters run a varied gamut—
coal and oil, chemicals, iron and
steel, farm machinery, automo-
biles and trucks, mining and con-
struction equipment, electrical
machinery and aircraft products.
That group of industries, incid-
entally, accounts for roughly one-
third of all business activity in the
United States, employs over 6 mil-
lion workers, and plays a major
role in setting the pace for all
domestic business activity.
We are also a great importing
nation. In 50 years, for instance,
wc have changed from a net ex-
porter of raw materials to a net
importer, for the reason that wc
are no longer self-sufficient in
this field. We import 100 per cent
of our coffee, tea, and industrial
diamonds, along with 95 per cent
of our asbestos, and nearly as
much of our nickel and chromite.
Other raw materials, including
those of a strategic nature, which
we buy abroad include varying
peicentages of our tin, mangan-
ese, tungsten, cobalt, lead, zinc,
copper and so on down a long
list. The booklet points out that
our commodity imports may dou-
ble in the next 20 years. We also
import quantities of various man
ufactured goods — photographic
equipment, optical instruments,
watches, etc. Here the booklet
says that there are many spec-
ific cases “in which foreign com-
petition has made a direct con-
tribution to the welfare of this
country by forcing improved do-
mestic production.”
The booklet goes into such re-
lated questions as tariffs and the
government aid to foreign nations
program. It emphasizes the grow-
ing importance of foreign trade
to our national security as well
as to the vigor and flexibility of
the American economy. And it
sums up the significance of for-
eign trade as a constructive
world economic foice in these
words: "In the broader sense for-
eign trade contributes to the best
use of a nation’s resources by per-
mitting its producers to concen-
trate on those types of produc-
tion for which they are especially
fitted while purchasing from oth-
er countries those goods which
others are better fitted to pro-
duce.”
The six-mi proposal, says tha
governor, is “sewing new
cloth into an old garment”
Grandma used to put it this
way: When the patch gets as big
as the pants, it’s time for a new
pair.

STRANGE SOLUTION
(Fort Worth Pre»s)
The state affairs committee in
the House of Representatives has
come up with a strange solution
to the problems of Texas’ Board
of Insurance Commissioners.
It has turned thumbs down on
Governor Daniel’s proposal for a
“fresh start” in the insurance de-
partment under one commissioner
of insurance, or even under three
new commissioners.
The committee proposes, in a
bill sent to the floor of the House,
to set up a six-man commission.
The governor would appoint three
new members to sit with the
present three commissioners. Two
years hence the commission
would drop back to three mem-
bers, each to serve six years.
If there is anything that Tex-
as apparently doesn’t need, it’s
more insurance commissioners.
The failure of the three commis-
sioners to work together as a
board in the past has been one
of the subjects of frequent crit-
icism from within the insurance
industry.
There is little reason to be-
lieve that six commissioners
would better serve the interests
of the policy holder and the stock-
holder of insurance companies
operating in Texas.
The creation of a six-man body
from two political camps could
be expected to prolong the tur-
moil by inviting anew the clash
of personalities.
What Texas needs is not a pol-
itical compromise, but an ef-
ficient, centralized administration
to supervise and regulate the op-
eration of insurants companies

The delegates from the several
wards met in convention Tues-
day night for the purpose of nom-
inating a ticket for the municipal
officers. The convention was call-
ed to order by the chairman, Dr.
Cutler, Major Stevens came for-
ward and made a few fitting re-
marks. On the roll being called
the following delegates were
found to be absent: Pack, Simp-
son, French, Dearing of first warl;
Joe Perry and Leonard of the
second; Garbo of the third, and
Boss of the fourth. Major Hughes
moved that the delegation vote
by ballot; carried, the vote re-
sulting as follows: Dr. Feild nom-
inated Sam Hanna fo rtreasurer.
There being no more nominations,
Hanna was elected. Mr. Tibbs
nominated M. M. French for as-
sessor and collector. This being
the only nomination, Mr. French
was elected by acclamation. Cap-
tain Patrick nominated A. G. Hall
for marshal and William Camp-
bell nominated W. H. Winn. A
ballot was taken and the result
was Winn 16, Hall 13. Conven-
tion adjourned until Saturday
night when the Democracy of
Denison are invited to meet at
Judge Kirk’s office for the pur-
pose of organizing a Democratic
Club for more efficient work in
the coming county campaign.
May 30. 1890
The observance of Decoration
Day grows in interest and import-
ance each year. The parade and
formal exercises by which the day
waa observed today, Friday, were
the most imposing ceremonies of
the kind, that have ever taken
place in the city, and the frater-
nal feeling prevailing among
those engaged in the exercises
was cordial to an unprecedented
degree. The procession formed
opposite the Odd Fellows hall at
2:30 p.m. and moved in the fol-
lowing order: the Drum Corps,
the old soldiers, Confederate and
Federal; choir and speakers; lif-
ty girls representing the states
and territories; ladies relief corps;
Daughters of the Confederacy;
Oakwood Association, citizens in
carriages and on foot. The route
traversed was west on Main to
Barrett, north on Barrett to Gan-
dy, east on Gandy to Rusk, south
on Rusk to Main, west on Main to
Burnett, south on Burnett to For-
est Park, The exercises were held
in the park and consisted of call
to order by Post Commander E.
C. Clifford; invocation by the
Rev. Adams; music by the choir;
addresses by C. A. J. Houston,
Captain Cook and Captain Kret-
singer; decoration of the monu-
ment; salute to the unknown
dead; national hymn, “My Coun-
try, ’tis of Thee” by the whole
assembly. At the conclusion of
these services the decoration com-
mittee accompanied by many pri-
vate individuals, proceeded to
Oakwood cemetery to decorate the
graves of the “fallen brave”. The
floral tributes were surprisingly
beautiful and abundant. The at-
tendance at the sendees in the
park, and also at the cemetery,
was very large, and the formal
parade was the largest and most
representative that has done hon-
or to Decoration Day in the his-
tory of the city.

Ancient Jurors and Advocates
Speaking before juries — the
beginning of jury trials — goes
back to Greek colonies in Sicily
about 600 B.C., in lawsuits over
lands seized by tyrants.
Soon Athens itself took over
such oratory, but appears to have
worked out no rules of evidence
or judicial control of the trial.
Juries often cheered or booed
the parties. They talked together
and shouted back to the speakers.
What one man knew about the
case he told his neighbor.
All evidence could go: Personal
knowledge, hearsay, prejudice,
and the juror’s opinion.
The Athenian jury had power.
Each “dicast” (chosen by lot)
was both juryman and judge.
Each juror got one obol a day1—
about three cents.
Each accused person had to
come before the jury personally
to defend himself—which was es-
pecially hard if he didn’t know
the ait of advocacy, since he was
assumed to be guilty.
Indeed, many hold that if Soc-
rates had taken independent ad-
vice he would never have offend-
ed the boisterous and biased
Athenian jury, which sentenced
him to the hemlock on the hill-
side in 399 B.C.
Less outspoken defendants in
those days sought bootleg legal
advice.
Antophon (415) ghost - wrote
and sold briefs to clients who had
to put their own cases to the jury.
He set out four steps of an Athen-
ian trial: (1) the accuser's
charge, (2) the accused's reply,
(3) the accuser’s reply, and (4)
the accused’s response.
Afterwards the jury let the ac-
cused off or found him guilty.
The jury sentenced then and
there, allowing some — Socrates,
for one — to propose their own
penalties, and even to bid them
upward if they failed to please
the jury.
After the trial, the speakers (or
in Socrates’ case, his friend Plato)
often worked their talks over,
and sent them out for friends
to admire or criticize.
What appeals were used to win
the jury over? Pretty much the
same ones we hear today. Aris-
totle listed a few:
The values the jurors shared
with the speaker—reverence for
justice, the law, and the city’s
founding fathers; the sanctity of
the juryman’s oath; the verdict’s
effect upon public and foreign
opinion, and sometimes upon wo-
men and youth.
(This column, prepared by the
State Bar of Texas, is written to
inform—not to advise. No per-
son should ever apply or inter-
pret any law without the aid of
an attorney who is fully advised
concerning the facts involved, be-
cause a slight variance in facts
may change the application of the
law.)
May 30, 1905
The committee of ten appoint-
ed by the Board of Trade last
month to investigate the different
kinds of street paving, only half
performed that duty. It was
clearly apparent the first meet-
ing of the committee that the ma-
jority were in favor of brick and
the result was that no effort was
made to get at the cost of maca-
