A CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY
All qualified voters in the 10th Congressional
district have a ciyic duty of first importance to per-
form Saturday. The press of business or social af-
fairs should not stand in the way of voting Sat
urday. '....
It is a matter of vital importance to this district
that a capable and honest man be sent .to Washing-
ton to take the place made vacant by the passing of
the beloved J. P. Buchanan who served this district
and the nation so ably for twenty-five years.
KIRK'S INVENTION
Bartrlett is indebted to Kirk Knight for-a large
amount of statewide and nationwide publicity dur-
ing the past week when the Associated Press car-
ried news stories' and pictures of the Kuykendall
Tree Shears invented by Mr. .Knight. With the
showing of the sound pictures made by Paramount
News Tuesday and Wednesday of Mr. Knight's
Tree Shears in action world wide publicity will be
gained.
Large crowds from Central Texas towns and
cities have been visiting the Bud Reed ranch three
miles north of Holland on Highway 95 this week
to see Mr. Knight's Shears clip trees as much as
twenty inches in diammeter with the greatest; of
ease. .
The Tribune joins the citizenship of the Bartlett
Community in sincerely hoping that Kirk's inven-
tion will bring him both fame and fortune -
HOME OWNERSHIP
The agricultural South
thetic interest and hopefulness the progress of the
bill introduced in the national congress by Senator
Tom Connally -creating the Farm -Tenant Home
Purchase corporation.
Senator Gonnally's measure provides for a com-
prehensive system of land purchases" and loans
whereby farm tenants may become home owners
end may acquire farm lands in amount sufficient
to provide a livelihood for their families and income
sufficient to handle the indebtedness. His meas-
ure also provides that the interest rate on such land
purchases shall be only two per cent annually.
Senator Connally is seeking a satisfactory solu-
tion to the tenant problem of the nation and parti-
cularly of the South which is one of the most ser-
ious problems facing the country today since sixty
per cent of Texas and Oklahoma farmers own no
land at all. ''.'

' APRIL FOOL PICNIC '
(By A Member) "

A number of High School stu-
dents broke the bars of jail and
celebrated April the first with a
picnic. Instead of reporting to
school at eight o'clock as usual
they reported to the new well lot.
From there they went to Rock
Bluff and a most enjoyable time
followed. It was a day that will
long be remembered by all.

Editor Tribune:
I doubt that anyone woufd ever
agam criticise the Texas Legis-
lature for delay if they could
but watch the Congress A few
weeks. Last week the House did
nothing other than to pass the
Legislative Appropriation Bill
and the Appropriation Bill for
the District of Columbia.
The Legislative Appropriation'
Bill is supposed; to simply cover
the cost of the House of Repre-
sentatives and Senate but in fact
it includes all of the expenses of
the Capitol all activities related
to legislation in any way the
Library cf Congress (which is
not really a Congressional Li-
brary at all but simply the Na-
tional Library) and such Unre-
lated but tremendously expen-
sive branches of the government
as the Government Printing Of
fice and for some unknown rea-
son the Botanical Garden.. The
total appropriation is $24001-
734.00 of which only four and
one half million dollars is rep-
resented by salaries of Senators
and Representatives.
The District of Columbia Ap-
propriation Bill provides for a
lump sum contribution of $5-
000000.00 by the United States
government to the support of the
government of the District of
Columbia. This is much less than
many members desire. They
want the United States govern-
ment to pay a larger part of the
expenses of the District and of
course all the Washington pa-
pers and most of the people here
are .complaining loudly as this
bill will necessitate an increase
in taxes in the District but as I
see it the Federal Government
is very generous in making- this
gift to their local government
Their ad valorem tax is only
$1.70 per hundred in Washing-
ton and they have only a 2 cent
gasoline tax. It will therefore'
be seen that they pay only about
one-half as much taxes as we
pay in most Texas cities i am
not in favor of- increasing the
contribution) of the Federal Gov-
ernment but it is surprising to
find 'so . many members who
promise Washington citizens to
give them more Federal money.
In fact the .Legislative Commit
tee en the District of Columbia
vigorously .opposed most of the
retrenchment features of this ap
propriation bill which was
brought in by the Appropriations
Committee.
There has been considerable
discussion of the "sitdown"
strikes but go far there has been
no action taken here. I am Shock-
ed at the willingness many of
the .members express to allow
those practices to go unnoticed;
I believe in the right to strike
but I cannot believe that any
group or individual has the right
to' take the .property of another
and hold it by force. If such a
right exists- we need not bother
further about selling our cotton
crop or any other product -.those
who want our products will
simply take them I am glad to
read that our Governor has an-
nounced that he would tolerate
no such violence in Texas.
It seems that the second Sum-
ners Court Reform Bill provid-
ing for speeding up the decisions
in cases involving Constitutional
questions and other changes in
procedure ad.vocated by the Pres-
ident will probably come up in
the .House this next week. It
came before us some time aero
and was withdrawn but I hope
It' will' WWW on this' timei-. I'
think it is good and expect to
support it.
1 In connection with the Court
and Old Age Pension Question
let me say that I appreciate any
communication from any citizens
of pur district at any time and
I am sure that the other mem-
bers welcome communications
from their constituents but it is
little more than a waste of ev
eryone's time to send the printed

WhyShduld A Local
Succeed Today When Thoge Organized
In Past Years HaVe Failed?
There are three principal reasons whV local insurance
organizations should succeed
similar onus ianuu in. tne past.
1. The insurance laws are mbre stringent.
2. More attention is given to acceptance of risks.
8; In' past years such organizations operated on the-death
assessment plan resulting in no incom6 for as many as
3 or 4 months at a time. Then there would ibe S or 3
deaths during one month and it would not prove prac-
tical to assess for all at one time. Now with thebal-
anced method of assessing base'd on'1 tljd known death
rate of the country there is no reason why a local 0r-
gahization cannot succeed as well- as any old line coni-
' ' pany. While it is true that an .old line nolicv would
"pay itself out; in Say 20
tvuiu. i.v.t.1 1.1 iiuj ' (.Illinium OUXXlUiClfWy JiHiJUl LU
make that possible. - '.
There are other reasons why 'local .organizations sue- '
ceed today and we mentioa especially the reason that only
reliable and experienced men are allowed! by the State In-
; . surance Department to organize. A local company mav be
organized today only after
aiter a uiorougn neanng neiore tne state .tsoara of in-
surance Commmissioners. ' .
