It has been rumored over
this county that I voted against
the revenue bill in the 2nd call-
ed session of the 45th Legisla-
ture of last October, 1937, that
was called by the Governor to
raise revenue to take eare of
the old aged, blind, dependent
children and retired teachers.
The House Journal of October
6, 1937, of the last called ses-
sion, on page 26S known aa
House Sill 23, will show that I
voted for the revenue bill and
there being 117 yeas and 21
nays. You will find where
voted with the 117 yeas. He
good people of this county and
state went to the polls last Au-
gust and declared their senti-
ments for the old aged, blind,
dependent children and retired
teachers. It is a pleasure for
me to declare to the people
that 1 voted honestly and faith-
fully in the legislature exactly
the demands of the people of
this state.
The House of Represents
tives soon after convening did
pass a revenue bill by passing
a 25c raise of revenue on all
commodities of the natural
sources of which would have
raised sufficient amount of
funds to take care of the old
aged, blind, dependent chil-
dren and retired teachers- The
bill sent to the Senate for their
approval and there is where
the House of Representatives
meets trouble and there is
where the lobbist of the big in-
terest usually does their work
to defeat bills like the one that
the House of Representatives
passed to raise funds, and it
was then and there that the
Senate cut the revenue bill to
raise funds to care for..- the
needy, blind, dependent chil-
dren and retired teachers to a
five cent rate and sent it back
to the House* of Representa-
tives to be accepted by .' the
House. The speaker appoint-
ed five members of the House
to serve on a free conference
committee and at that time also
asked the Lieutenant Gover-
nor in the senate to appoint
five members of the Senate to
meet together and iron out the
difference between the two
houses, and in a few minutes
later the committee reported
back to the Speaker of the
House that the Senate refused
to meet and reason out the dif-
ferences and the bill died in
the committees room as that
was the last night of the 30
days session and the time be-
ing np at 12 o’clock and it was
12 o’clock then or after. The
House soon adjourned and the
session ended: It appears to
me that the.school children of
this county and state fuliy real-
izes that the Senate was to
blame for the loss of the bill
that the Governor called the
Legislature together to pro-
vide funds for, and that your
Representative did do his duty.
It has been rumored that I
voted to give Harris county ad
valorem taxes, which I did for
certain reasons, that it was
made known to me that said
county has a loss of millions of
dollars by visit of floods to that
section, with water many feet
deep in parts of the business
and residential area. I had in-
troduced a bill at this t.me to
give Shelby county its ad
valorem taxes in order to help
recover loss of taxes due Shel-
by county on the grounds that
the Government bought up
some 25 or 30 per cent of the
lands in Shelby county and the
Government does not render
any taxation, and my bill being
similar to Harris county bill of
which if it passed would have
been worth thousands of dol-
lars to Shelby county. The
-Harris county bill did not pass
nor did mine, but it was neces-
sary for me to vote on Harris
county bill as it was a local bill
and it would not cost Shelby
county anything, and 1 could
not afford to vote against
theirs and mine coming up
later.
As time had expired on the
last night of the special 30
days called session. Hr. Bond,
member of the House, moved
to suspend all necessary rules
for the purpose of making a
motion to instruct the conferees
to sign the conference report
on House Bill 23, and report
same to the House. The motion
was lost, there being 56 yeas
and 75 nays, and I voted nay.
I want to say to the good
people in conclusion that I am
serving my first term and I
have answered and obeyed ev-
ery call that was asked of me
for the good of my county and
state. 1

UNDER THE DOME AT AUSTIN
(By Gordon K. Shearer. United Press Staff Correspondent)
Austin, Tex., June 9. (UP)
-A necessary part of a suc-
cessful political campaign in
Texas is the wholesale posting
of the candidates’ pictures
Huge amounts are expended
in this method of popularizing
candidates. The cost of a pic-
ture and its reproduction is
but a small part of the re-
quired expense.
The cards must be distribut-
ed where they can be seen and
where they are likely to re-
main.

Special articles, historic and

The same problem puzzles
the U. S. Postoffice Depart-
ment. A San Antonio collec-
tion agency has sent out re-
turn postcards to persons with
names similar to those of debt-
ors. The card tells the person
addressed that the concern
holds a pre-paid package
which it cannot deliver for the
lack of a suitable address. On
the return section, the ad-
dressee is asked to fill in his
correct address and name, also
his employer and the name of
a friend, ostensibly to insure
that he is the correct person. If

Now the distributors must
go to the property owners
along the highways and obtain
permission to put up the cards,
off the right of way. Even then
the cards suffer huge casual-
ties. Enthusiastic supporters
of other candidates deface
them or tear them down.
That explains why so many
of the cards are appearing at
great heights this year. One
campaigner who came back to
the capital from a card tack-
ing tour thought he had solved
the problem. He had a long
stick, split at the end. In that
he inserted the card. He had a
magnetized tack hammer that
would hold a tack in place. He
attached it to a broom handle
and, using the two, fastened
cards far above the reach of
would-be destroyers.

Rumors that Gov. James V.
Allred is to be appointed fed-
eral judge probably will not
end until he or someone else is
selected for the new judge-
ship created in southern Texas.
One bill provided that the
judge must be a resident of
the district The act with the
president’s signature has no
residential requirement. All-
red would be eligible under
that one.
U. S. Sen. Tom Connally is
supporting Walton D. Taylor
of Houston for the appoint-
ment. Sen. Morris Sheppard
is backing Brantly Harris of
Galveston.
If they fail to agree, the
supposition is that the presi-
dent will turn to Vice Presi-
dent John Garner as national
committeeman from Texas for
a recommendation. Garner is
supposed to favor Allred, par
ticularly as placing Allred on
the federal bench would make
Walter Woodul of Houston
governor. Woodul was one of
the early workers in the Gar-
ner-for-president movement.

Summer thirsts are reflected
in tax stamp sales of the state
treasury. The last monthly
port shows a decrease in re-
ceipts from liquor stamps and
an increase in the beer stamp
income. Wine stamps also de-
creased in the amount paid.
There was bnt slight varia
tion in the amounts paid for
cigarette stamps and less than
3200 change in the amount for
stamps that must be placed on
notes filed.
Beer stamp income increas-
ed from $142,578 in April to
$192^47 in May. The liquor
stamp decrease was from
$278,569 to $246,299.

Chief Justice C. M. Cureton
of the state Supreme Court
has suffered a recurrence of
an illuess for which he under-
went a major operation sever-
al months ago.
The sturdy jurist takes his
jperations in the day’s run
without complaint. Friends
who called on him after his
previous operation found him
with a box of his favorite
cigars at the bedside. He serv
ed them cigars, then -joined
them in smoking.
He takes the set-back phil-
osophically. "I ought to be
better patient,” he explained,
“I have had experience.”

A prophet is not without
honor save in his own country,
according to religious writing,
and the Texas motor patrol
seems to be in the same class.
A candidate for the legislature
has announced or. a platform
of reforming the motor patrol,
to put and keep patrolmen on
the highways. A Mississippi
patrol is being trained with the
aid of a Texas captain. An edi-
torial in the Grenada, Miss
Sentinel concludes with this
wish:
“May Mississippi be privi-
leged to have a highway patrol
patterned after that of the
state o? Texas—free from poli-
tics in the selection of men.”
James Monroe Moore, aged
77, accepted death’s summons
at 5:30 Saturday morning at
his home in Stockman, after an
iliness of about three months
duration. Funeral services
were held Sunday afternoon
at 2 o’clock at Mt. Olive, by
the Rev. Lee Warren, pastor of
the Christian church at Stock-
man. Interment was made
in the community cemetery.
Funeral arrangements were
under the direction of the W.

Mr. Moore was a native of
the state of Alabama, and

Nacogdoches county, where
they continued to reside for a
number of years, though for
some fifty years the deceased
had made his home at Stock-
man. This beloved pioneer
had an important part in the
progress and development of
his home community, and
throughout a life of useful
service took active and interest-
ed part in the religious, educa-
tional and civic endeavors of
his community. A good citi-
zen is lost to Stockman and to
Shelby county, and a loyal and
devout member is removed
from the roster of the Chris-
tian ehnrch at Stockman, he
having accepted membership
and the tenets of this denomi-
nation more than fifty years
ago.

The passing of this kindly,
Christian gentleman is a
source of deep sorrow to his
family and to his host of
friends, who loved him dearly.
