MKD 9f SEMITE
Washington. Feb. 3. (UP)
-The Senate today passed the
vesting of crops and feed fix!
livestock. The amount loaned
to each farmer would not ex-
ceed $1,000.
The bill, passed without a
record vote, goes to the house.
Sen. 'William Ring, D.,
Utah, sadi while he did not
oppose the bill, be wanted to
know from where the money
was coming.
“We must have increased
taxation to meet these enor-
mous expenditures of the gov-
ernment. 1 think the commit-

consideration of means to in-
crease the national revenue,”
King said,
' The governor of the Farm
Credit Administration would
make the loans.

DSRLY HISTORY OF UMPSOS
1DLD BT MiSTIH WEBS
Appleby, Tex., Feb. 3, 1936.
In the early eighties, Shelby
and San Augustine counties
were the gateway into Texas
on the eastern front. Tn those
days, Father Skates was treas-
urer, Uncle Bob Parker was
county clerk, A. W. Brown
was sheriff. As I remember,
the voting population of Shel-
by .comity was eighteen' 'hub-'
drecL Of course, that was long
before woman suffrage.
Timpson, then, was unheard-
of. Later on, Mr. Breinond
built a railroad through Shel-
by county. Timpson was
named-for Mr. Bremond’s son-
in-law. The trains that first
ran the road were about a
hundred feet in length.
In 1885, we celebrated
new town and railroad.
We people, who lived south
of town, meaning Timpson,
and a few miles this side of the
back-woods, didn’t know just
bow far it was to our market.
Some went via Beans Vista
and some via Stockman, and
others went the trail across the
mountain. When we made it
back home we had to decide
on the distance. Some decided

old ladies joined the party. One of them lived across the street from
us and the other Just around the comer. Mrs. Slawson, the senior of
the pair, was exceedingly deaf. She used ace at' those old-fashioned,

Washington, D. C. Feb. 8.
—Topping all other subjects
of conversation in Washington
is the speech which Alfred E.
Smith made at the liberty
league Dinner, and its possible
effects upon the political situ-
ation. So utterance by * pri-
vate citizen in recent political
history has stirred up so much
discussion. It is taken hero
by some political observers as
the most important wedge that
has been driven so far to bring
about the much-talked of spHt
in the Democratic Party.
Of course, Mr, Roosevelt will
be renominated, but there is
no mistaking the Intention of
Mr. Smith and his followers,
included in the Liberty League
to bolt the party, whether!
they undertake to put a third
ticket into the field or not.
How serious this defection
may be in its effect upon the
President’s chance for re-elec-
tion is a question upon which
opinions vary widely. Natural-
ly, the warm supporters of the
Administration ridicule the
idea that the Liberty League
crowd can influence any mate-
rial volume of votes. But be-
hind the liberty League is a
practically unlimited amount
of money, and at its head is
Jouett Shouse. a very able
political organizer.

RUMBLINGS FROM '
SOUTH
Considerable significance
was attached hero to the dec-
laration by tbe late Governor
Alien, of Louisiana, that his

organization
join up
with the Liberty League in try
'fr. Roosevelt's
mg to prevent Mr.
renomination. Gov. Talm&dge
of Georgia, long an outspoken
enemy of the Administration,
is the spearhead of another
revolt inside the Democratic
party which is beginning to be
taken seriously in the South.
Tbe expectation here is that
the Talmadge movement may
also be lined up with the Lib-
erty League movement '
The point of greatest doubt
is how far these attacks upon
the President and his policies
may be carried if they fail to
