VOLUME THIRTY-FOUR
What Will Be Effect
AAA Court Decision
Washington, Jan. 6.—The wildest
confusion since the Supreme Court
smashed NR A swept official Wash-
ington Monday as administration
leaders sought to interpret the decis-
ion holding AAA unconstitutional.
Some of the principal questions,
with the best available unofficial
answers, were these:
Q. Will payments to farmers on
present contracts be paid ?
A. For the present, all payments
have been stopped. Administration
leaders hope some way will be found
to meet the contracted obligations.
Q. Will the 6,500 AAA employes
continue work ?
A. For the present, administrative
expenses have been stopped. Officials
said employes will report to work on
Tuesday as usual, and expressed hope
a substitute will be found before phy-
sical liquidation of AAA is necessary.
Q. Does AAA have any money not
coming from processing taxes ?
A. Yes. Officials said $90,000,000
remains from a direct appropriation
by Congress, and that $50,000,000
from the customs receipts fund is
available. .
Q. Is the entire adjustment admin-
istration smashed by the court’s de-
cision ?
A. AAA officials believe no. Opin-
ion was expressed that marketing
agreements and licenses are not af-
fected; likewise, authority to use
money for removal of crop surpluses
is believed not affected.
Q. Could marketing agreements be
used to control prices of major com-
mercial crops?
A. AAA officials say marketing
agreements are believed generally ef-
fective only for small crops in limit-
ed areas, such as fruits, vegetables
and milk.
Q. What will happen to the $150,-
000,000 estimated impounded in low-
er courts in injunction suits ?
A. It is believed these funds will
be refunded to processors who paid
them into the courts..
Q. Will processors be able to sue
the government for the $979,000,000
paid to the Treasury in processing
tSXGS ?
The Louisiana Rice Millers’ case,
involving AAA amendments, now be-
'ore the Supreme Court, will decide
is question. The amendments pro-
ved the processor could not recover
nless he proved he had not passed
he tax on to the consumer.
Q. Can wholesalers sue processors
:or return of taxes passed on to
hem in higher prices?
A. In part, this depends on the de-
cision of the court in the Louisiana
nillers’ case. If the court’s decision
3 favorable to the processors, a
vholesaler could sue only if his con-
ract with the processor had speci-
ically provided for refund if the tax
.vas held unconstitutional.
Q. Does this decision invalidate the
Bankhead cotton act, the Kerr-Smith
tobacco act and the potato act of
1935 ?
A. No, except in effect. These are
separate acts, designed to enforce the
AAA. A suit testing the Bankhead
act is pending before the high court;
the Kerr-Smith act has been held in-
valid by a lower court; the potato act
has not been challenged.
Q. Will big buyers of foodstuffs
be able to recover floor stocks taxes
paid when AAA was begun on stocks
then in possession?
A. Officials said this question lias
not *>een determined.
Q. Could a farmer sue the govern-
ment for complete payment of his
present contracts ?
A. Not without consent of the gov-
ernment. . .
Q. What effect is the decision ex-
pected to have on food prices ?
A. Officials said there probably
will be no great effect immediately,
since 1936 programs for wheat and
hogs had aimed at nearly normal pro-
duction.
Q. Has the AAA a substitute
ready ?
A. No. The decision was far more
sweeping than expected.
Q. What substitutes are under con-
sideration ?
A. Adoption of a little AAA for
each State, financed by Federal
grants; payments to farmers for
proper use of land instead of crop
reduction; adoption of a domestic al-
lotment plan.
Q. Could the Government enact new
legislation to prevent processors from
suing to recover AAA taxes ?
A. Congress might seek to do this,
but Attorney General Homer Cum-
mings said he did not know whether
such a law could be retroactive.
Q. If processors whose taxes have
been impounded in court injunctions
will get their money back, isn’t this
an injustice to those who have paid?
A Attorney General Cummings be-
lieves it is. He said the Government
is seeking some way to prevent such
injustice.
C. H. TUCKER TO START
MILK ROUTE INTO DALLAS
CELINA, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1936
Demonstration Club
Activities Renewed
The canning of foods has, this year
been an important item in club work,
since vegetables and fruits were both
plentiful. The 701 women and girls
enrolled in home demonstration and
in 4-H Clubs in Collin County have
canned 159,794Yz quarts of meats,
fruits, vegetables, pickles and pre-
serves valued at $31,572.90. They
have made 58 recipe files for keep-
ing tested recipes and made 150 hot
beds.
In planning to keep the home re-
plenished with fruits, the women have
added to their orchards and small
fruits as follows: 633 fruit trees, 1309
berry and grape vines and 2523 grape
vines rooted from cuttings.
The girls have harvested 18,228
pounds of fi’esh vegetables from the
home garden, and sold vegetables
amounting to $196.94. From their
gardens they have canned 4372 quarts
of vegetables.
The women have made 918 cakes
by standard recipes at a total cost
of $348.48.
In the yard demonstration, the
women have this year sodden 47
lawns, have 620 foundation plantings,
75 shade trees planted and living, 202
roses planted and living, and root-
ed 270 plants from cuttings.
The clothing work of the women
and girl club members include the
making of 3,739 garments and 456
renovated garments at a saving of
$4,222.10.
Home Demonstration club work has
this year reached 3851 farm families
through the club enrollment, demon-
strations, and the answering of ques-
tions by the agent, club women, and
club girls. This represents 76 per
cent of the farm families of the
county.
In order to have everything in
readiness for the new year, the coun-
ty home demonstration council, at a
called meeting last Saturday, Jan. 4,
made appointments and necessary in-
troductions of officers. All county
council officers, club presidents, new
and reelected council delegates, were
introduced to the group. The council
chairman appointed her 1936 com-
mittees and asked the expansion and
finance committees to read their
plans for 1935, after which sugges-
tions were offered for this year’s
plans. Both committees will hold
meetings very soon, when they will
work out plans to be presented at the
February meeting.
Standing rules for governing the
county council for 1936 were read and
adopted.
Number of Celina People
Change Places Residence
No New Year’s business changes
in Celina have been announced, but
quite a number of citizens have
changed their places of residence
since our last issue. Mr. and Mrs. J.
H. Morris have moved from the A.
W. Baker apartment house to an
apartment at Mrs. W. R. Finley’s; Mr.
and Mrs. Tuck Jones moved into an
apartment in the Baker house; Mr.
and Mrs. Jim Lewis moved to the
place vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Jones,
the Dr. Hailey residence, which Mr.,
and Mrs. Lewis purchased some
weeks ago; Mr. and Mrs. Cameron
Helms moved to the Jack Smith res-
idence, which they had purchased and
which had just been vacated by Mr.
and Mrs. C. M. Moore, who moved
into one of the A. S. Klinglesmith
residences; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Nevins
moved into an apartment at the Jen-
kins place, which had been occupied
by Mr. and Mrs. Helms, from the
Smith Stagner place.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul O’Brien, who
live with the former’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Gus O’Brien, north of town,
are still waiting for the residence
they recently purchased of Dr. J. S.
Collins and occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
E. L. Holloway, to be vacated so they
can move in. Mr. and Mrs. Holloway
have bought the Stelzer residence,
which is occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Horace Hinton, who will vacate just
as soon as they can find a place.
Collin County Farmers
Receive Parity Checks
Monday of last week cotton par-
ity checks were distributed to cotton
growers of the Celina, Prosper, Fris-
co and Plano communities by Coun-
ty Agent McCullough and his help-
ers.
There were 6,160 of these checks
for Collin County cotton growers,
calling for a total payment of $150,-
000.
Distribution throughout the county
was completed last Thursday. Those
who did not appear at places where
distribution was being made shall
have to call at the County Agent’s
office for their checks and should do
so within fifteen days, as the checks
will be returned to Washington if
not delivered within that period.

New Law Governing
Exemption Certificates
County Tax Assessor-Collector N.
D. Ready has given out the follow-
ing rules and regulations concerning
exempt voters and exemption certi-
ficates in 1936 elections, for cities
of less than 10,000 inhabitants and
rural districts.
The regulations follow:
Only those voters exempt because
they were not twenty-one years of
age on or before January 1st of the
year for which the levy was made
and those who have moved into this
State after said date are required to
obtain an exemption certificate.
Certificate-holders of these class-
es moving from one precinct to an-
other must present their certificate
to the Tax Collector for endorsement
showing the new residence.
Such a certificate-holder moving in-
to another county must present the
certificate to the Tax Collector of
that county for reissue or registra-
tion and endorsement at least twenty
days before any election at which he
expects to vote.
Exempt voters living outside a city
of 10,000 inhabitants who are per-
manently exempt from the payment
of poll tax need not obtain exempt-
ion certificates, but may continue to
vote as they have in the past.
Young people who are now twenty-
one years of age and those who may
become twenty-one years of age dur-
ing the poll tax year should obtain
their exemption certificate before
February 1st.
Utilities Cease Sale
Of Appliances Here
The Record representative noted in
his rounds this week that the Texas
Power & Light Co. and the Commun-
ity Natural Gas Co. have removed
their stocks of appliances from their
places of business. This is due to the
fact that a new law imposes a tax
of around $750 on each establishment
that sells appliances and of course it
is prohibitive. Someone suggests that
the local manager of the T. P. & L.
could not sell you a fuse plug, were
he called to your home in the mid-
dle of the night by the blowing of
a plug. These utilities companies will
carry stocks of appliances only in
the cities where their district offices
are located. They can not even carry
a sample on the floors of their offices
here, it is stated.

LOGANS OPERATING
LARGE ACREAGE LAND
I. M. Logan was in Tuesday to or-
der his Record sent to Gunter, R. 1,
instead of Celina. Mr. Logan lives
on his own farm just across the
Grayson County line. His two sons,
Howard and Thomas, had been living
on the Emerson place in this county,
but recently moved to a farm near
Skaggs school house, which is owned
by the Collin County National Bank
of McKinney. The Logans will oper-
ate this 227-acre farm and one of 234
acres joining it on the east, to say
nothing of the one owned by Mr. Lo-
gan. The move of the sons from the
Emerson place to the Skaggs com-
munity is responsible for Mr. Logan
ordering his Record address changed.

Will Webster Is Dead;
End Came Tuesday Night
Will Webster of the Cottage Hill
community, died in the McKinney city
hospital at 11 o’clock Wednesday
night of pneumonia. The body was
brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
George Darnall by the Helms Funeral
Home ambulance Tuesday night.
Mr. Webster had been ill for the
last few years and was taken to the
McKinney hospital more than a week
ago. Pneumonia developed and his
earthly career ended at the time stat-
ed.
The funeral was conducted by Dr.
Clifford S. Weaver of McKinney at the
Cottage Hill church at 2 p. m. Wed-
nesday and the body was buried beside
that of his mother in Corinth Ceme-
tery, just west of Cottage Hill, the
love and esteem in which he was held
attested by the presence of many
neighbors and friends and beautiful
flowers.
Mr. Webster was the son of Mr.
and Mrs. C. W. Webster, both de-
ceased. He was born July 24, 1877,
and was 58 yeai’s old last July 24. He
had lived in the Cottage Hill com-
munity for years, with the exception
of a brief residence in New Mexico.
Kidnaped Dallas Officer
Left Chained in Grayson
Dallas Motorcycle Officer R. J.
Luther, kidnaped in Dallas at 2:44
Saturday afternoon when he stopped
two intoxicated men driving a car to
question them, was left chained to a
desk in the Sperry school house a few
miles west of Dorchester in Grayson
County about dark the same evening.
Luther was able to pry the desk
loose from the floor and slip the
chain that bound him from the leg
by a few minutes work after the kid-
napers drove off. He was taken to
Sherman by a farmer and notified
Dallas police headquarters that he
was uninjured except for a few ab-
rasions caused by bumping around
on the bottom of the car as the kid-
napers raced recklessly through the
country.
Two hijackings in the vicinity of
Mt. Pleasant late Saturday night are
believed to have been committed by
the kidnapers of Luther.
The Dallas police force presented
Luther with a new pistol to replace
the one taken by his kidnapers.

years and about all he had when his
mortal career ended was his honor.
He retained that to the end. The peo-
ple among whom he had lived so long

ment.

Indications, however, are that they
moved rapidly, as three men, one of
them positively identified as one of
Luther’s kidnapers, were captured

The surviving members of Mr. Web- J?-
to throw pursuing officers off the
trail. .
The man positively identified is
Jack Brunson, who escaped from the
El Reno, Ok., reformatory. The third

two sons, Charlie and Clarence, and
three daughters, Mrs. Fay Smith of
the Parvin community, Mrs. Bud

Road Project Sought
Don Wallace of Gunter and the
Grayson County Commissioners’
Court last week presented to Gus W.
Thomasson in Dallas, in charge of
WPA projects in North Texas, a
project for the building of a black
top road eighteen feet wide from Ti-
oga to Van Alstyne.
Mr. Thomasson approved the proj-
ect and will submit it to the proper
federal authorities at Washington for
approval. It is believed the project
will be approved and that work will
soon start on it. The distance is 28
miles. The project provides for new
culverts, bridges and straightening.
GIVE PARENTS RADIO
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Puckett of the
Alla community had with them dur-
ing the Christmas holiday Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph D. Bass of’ Athens, Mr.
and Mrs. W. M. Woodard and child-
in the finger with his own gun as
he was surrendering to officers.
The trio stole two cars near Wich-
ita Falls. When they took the last
they abandoned the one they drove
into the Wichita Falls section and
the first car stolen in that commun-
ity and fled in the last car taken.
Weston Rural Route
Was Oldest in County
John Wester, rural mail carrier on
the route out of Weston, discontinued
with the beginning of the new year,
gives us a little history concerning
the route.
He states that it was the first rur-
al route established in Collin County,
the second in the state and among
the first routes established in the
nation. It was established through
the efforts of Congressman C. B.
Randell on March 15, 1900, and its
patrons were served for a period of
35 years. The first carier, who served
only two years, was J. W. Baker. The
second carrier was Oscar Brown, who
served four years. The fourth car-
rier was John Jeter, who served six
years. The fifth was Ed Wester, who
ren, Mr. and Mrs. Olan Johnson, Mrs. ^ ^ ^ ^ iixwi y>tto
served for eight years His brother,
John Wester followed him and car-
and Mrs. Clell Perkins and son of
Cottage Hill and Houston Puckett of
Dallas. These guests, children of Mr.
and Mrs. Puckett, and their families,
brought along a nice new radio as
a Christmas present for their par-
ents. Mr. afrd Mrs. Johnson remained
for a week and, with Mrs. Puckett and
her grandson, Taylor Locke, spent
New Year’s Day with Mr. and Mrs.
Clell Perkins of the Cottage Hill
community.
PILOT POINT MAN DEAD
John Wright, 62, died Monday at
the home of his brothel’, Alva Wright,
in Pilot Point as the result of a heart
attack. Burial was in the Masonic
Cemetery at Pilot Point Tuesday.
Mr. Wright formerly farmed for a
number of years south of Pilot Point,
but for the past several years had
resided in Pilot Point. His widow and
three sons, Henry of Dallas and Gar-
land and J. T. of Pilot Point, survive.
MARINES HAVE VACANCIES
Lt. E. A. Robbins, the officer in
charge of the Marine Corps Recruit-
ing in New Orleans, La., announces
that he has been authorized to ac-
cept men for enlistment in the U. S.
Marine Corps. Small monthly quo-
tas will be enlisted beginning Febru-
ary first. Applicants to fill existing
vacancies may take physical evxam-
inations in their home localities and
those selected will be enlisted at U.
S. Marine Corps Headquarters there.
Single men, 66 to 74 inches in height,
ried it for thirteen years, or until the
route was discontinued Jan. 1.
The period covered by John Wester
as substitute carrier, temporary car-
rier and regular carrier was about
22 years.
When the route was first establish-
ed examination for carriers was not
required.
The patrons formerly served by
the Weston route are now served by
Route 1 out of Celina. Thus it will be
seen that John Wester is still serv-
ing its patrons whom he had pre-
viously served for thirteen years.
“Big Money” Pays
Off Inheritance Tax
Sherman.—Employes in the office
of J. C. Allred, county tax assessor-
collector, had a glimpse of “prosper-
ity” Saturday afternoon when Har-
mon Danield of Hot Springs, Ark
appeared at the office and paid off
a $3,037.79 inheritance tax assess
ment with one $2,000 bill, two $500
bills and eleven $100 bills.
W. D. Harmon, chief deputy, said
it was the biggest money he had seen
in 12 years of employment in the of-
fice. The tax was paid on money in-
hei’ited by Mr. Danield and Homer K.
Wright from the estate of W. S.
Hickman, 86, resident of Garland
County, Ark., who died Nov. 19, 1935.
Mr. Hickman willed $36,435.40 to
Mr. Danield and $18,217.70 to Mr.
Wright. Neither of the men were re
lated to Mr. Hickman and hence were
between the ages of 18 and 25 years,

Application Necessary
To Avoid Potato Tax
County Agent Jack McCullough
asks the Record to state that it will
be necessary for Collin County pro-
ducers who expect to sell potatoes in
1936 to sign an application in his of-
fice immediately.
C. B. MOORE FOR SHERIFF
Mr. C. B. Moore of McKinney, R. 2,
was here this morning and placed his
announcement for Sheriff in our an-
nouncement column. Information con-
cerning Mr. Moore will appear in a
later issue of the Record.
Austin.—The Fergusonian school
of practical politics, as practiced by
Mr. James E. Ferguson, of the Bell
County Fergusons, demands men,
rather than issues, in order to func-
tion efficiently. For more than a year,
the corporation and special interest
lobby, with Jim Ferguson as chief
lobbyist, has been, striving to relieve
the corporations and the special in-
terests of all state taxes, by passing
a sales tax and abolishing state ad
valorem taxes. The need for funds to
pay old age pensions is the lever
which Mr. Ferguson has utilized re-
cently in his effort to lift the tax
burden off the corporations, and place
it on the backs of those who buy the
necessities of life. Mr. James V. All-
red, head man of the Wichita County
Allred clan, has so far succeeded sig-
nally in making a complete mess of
Mr. Ferguson’s sales tax scheme. Mr.
Ferguson, whose shrewd political
mind never hesitates to recognize de-
feat when it is necessary, has con-
ceded that on the basis of the sales
tax issue, he’s been bottled up worse
than the Stanford Indians had Bobby
Wilson.
•
So Mr. Ferguson has changed his
strategy. He has entered State Sena-
tor Roy Sanderford, of Belton, in the
governor’s race against Mr. Allred.
Mr. Sanderford frankly admits in his
platform that he favors abolition of
state ad valorem taxes, and a 3 per
cent sales tax in its stead. Mr. San-
derford emerged from the obscurity
of an automobile agency in Belton
during the hey-day of Mr. Ferguson’s
power in that county, as a state sen-
ator. Then, two years ago, he man-
aged the campaign of Charlie Mc-
Donald, upon whom Mr. Ferguson
sought to drop his mantle as the
state political head man. But Mr.
Ferguson believes that Sen. Sander-
ford, who is fairly accomplished as
a disciple of the Ferguson “pour it
on” technique, may be able to divert
public attention from the sales tax
issue to Mr. Allred’s habit of attend-
ing barbecues, rodeos, county fairs
and other politico-social events at fre-
quent intervals; or to his belief in
prohibition; or to his difficulty in
persuading a recalcitrant legislature
to do the things he tells them to do;
or to anything, in fact but the fact
that every man who buys a loaf of
bread or a bottle of milk for his
children must pay a sales tax on these
articles, and every hamburger stand
in the state must become a tax col-
lector, under Mr. Ferguson’s sales tax
scheme.
•
All these things explain Mr. San-
derford’s entry into the 1936 guber-
natorial sweepstakes. A minor con-
sideration in the selection of the Bel-
ton senator to make the race is the
fact that he is in extreme political
difficulty in his own district, due to
his having selected the wrong side of
a local highway-routing controversy
in Bell county, which has made his
re-election to the senate doubtful.
His unquestioning loyalty to Mr. Fer-
guson in advocating in the senate all
of the measures tliat Mr. Ferguson
has sponsored, is another important
factor. If the special interests whom
Mr. Ferguson represents are willing
to put up some important money, the
governor’s race may be very interest-
ing this year in Texas. Political ob-
servers here recall that Mi’. Allred,
while fully capable of discussing is-
sues in language that the voters can
understand, is also quite gifted in the
gentle art of “pouring it on.” So if
the interested parties put up the nec-
essary cash for Mr. Sanderford to
make a serious campaign, the gen-
tleman from Belton probably will
have a very busy summer.
•
Out of the welter of public works
projects designed to create employ-
ment, there has come general recog-
nition in Texas that the policy of
joint state-federal expenditure for
public roads and highways, thru the
state highway commission and the
federal bureau of public roads, has
resulted in lasting benefit to the state
and its communities, and steady em-
ployment for a larger group of needy
Texans than any other classification.
The record compares most favorably
with wasteful expenditure upon many
local projects in the “leaf-raking”
category, with a $40,000,000 highway
program actively under way on Jan.
1. Far-sighted citizens throughout the
state have recently been urging up-
on the highway commission and the
Texas congressional delegation, care-
ful consideration in the future work-
relief plans, of a liberal allotment of
Federal work-relief funds to Texas in
1936-37, when work of this nature
will fill substantially the need for
jobs created by the continuation of
the reduction of cotton acreage. The
bulk of unemployed persons in Texas
rural counties is farm labor, work-
less because of reduced cotton pro-
