/ / // A—/ I ^XAS farmers and ranchers received
y / X last year from oil men the huge sum
of $132,478,000 for leases and royalties as their
share in this partnership.
All but seven of Texas’ 254 counties now
share in this cash return from leases and production on
more than 50,000,000 acres of Texas land.
Then, too, the Texas farmers and ranch-
ers sell to oil workers and their families more than $60,-
000,000 worth of farm and livestock products each year.
Thus the farmers and ranchers of our
state receive nearly 200 million dollars a year as their
share of oil’s total expenditure of 750 million dollars
annually in Texas. These 200 million dollars in turn flow
into every channel of Texas trade.
The Texas fanner and rancher and the oil
man are partners in the development of Texas.

Census Takers Started
Their Rounds Last Week
A staff of 120,000 enumerators,
armed with big black books, pen and
ink, knocked on the doors of dwell-
ings throughout the land on behalf
of the sixteenth decennial Federal
census last week. For each person
that they listed, the census taker re-
ceived four cents. When Uncle Sam
took the census in 1790, only 650
counters were needed, but the coun-
try has grown in size and numbers
since that early date. The population
is expected to show about 132,000,000
and the cost of the census to run
about 950,000,000. Complete returns
will not be known for 2 years.
Odds and Bads From

Much credit is said to be due the

election. . . The economy bloc is due
for another setback in Congress
when the relief appropriation bill
comes up; it will be upped at least
a quarter billion dollars over earlier
estimates. . . Mr. Dewey and Mr.
Roosevelt made an excellent showing
in the Wisconsin primary last week;
Garner and Vandenberg did rather
poorly. . . Mrs. Roosevelt will be on
the air twice weekly on a regular
program.

Sim’s Eclipse Was
Best Over Texas
Texans had the good fortune to be
in the best position for the annular
eclipse which took place lastSunday.
Along the Mexican border 93 per cent
of the sun was blotted out, while the
Eastern part of the United States was
given only a 68 per cent eclipse. The
moon was passing across the vision
between the earth and sun at a rate
«f 1,000 miles an hour. Another spec-
tacle like last Sunday’s will not hap-
pen again until May 10, 1994.

POAGE SUPPORTING
CHAIN STORE TAX
Washington, April 9.—Representa-
tive W. R. Poage, democrat, Texas,
told a house ways and means subcom-
mittee today that chain stores are
seeking to drive independent mer-
chants out of business with low
prices so as to 'be able to “jack up
the prices.”
He urged enactment of the Patman
chain store tax bill, levying drastic
taxes on large interstate chain store
systems. He asked that lumber dis-
tributors and retailers be exempted.
Poage said the task of taxing the
chain stores belongs to the federal
government “because some of these
institutions are too big for us to tax
them back home.” He compared them
to the oil industry, which he said was
so powerful “we in Texas can’t put a
tax on it without fear of serious re-
prisals.”
“This condition results in our peo-
ple living in actual economic serf-
dom,” he said.
Henry F. Ashhurst, Democrat, Ari-
zona, is the only members of the
United States Senate without a pred-
ecessor. He has served continuously
since Arizona attained statehood in
1912.
