UNDER THE DOME AT AUSTIN
(By Gordon K- Shearer. United Press Staff Correspondent)
Austin, Tex., June 23. (UP) school of mines is at El Paso;
—Interest of operators in this
week’s auction of leases on
University of Texas land indi-
cated that the university is in
little danger of exhausting its
oil wealth at any early date.
A new oil field recently wa3
discovered on unviersity land
in Crockett county. It is des-
ignated as the Crockett field
and already has five wells.
The university has a block of
356,480 acres there.
Leases offered this week in-
cluded 13 tracts of 160 acres
each from a S3,680-acre block
of university land in Crane
county. The university hold-
ings in counties where there
already is oil development in-
clude 77,400 acres in Upton,
80,650 in Winkler, 184,950 in
Pecos, 22,400 in Loving, 6,080
in Ector, and 14,080 in Martin.
A small amount of prospect-
ing has been done in Huds-
peth county, where the univer-
sity has 453,120 acres; in Ter-
rell county, where it has 61,-
440 acres; in Schleicher coun-
ty, where its holdings are 57,-
600 acres; and in Culberson
county, where it owns 46,080
aeres. In El Paso county, the
university has 11,520 acres.
—UP—
Vacancies in the presiden-
cies of the University of Texas
and Texas Technological Col-
lege have given rise to the sug-
gestion of making the Univer-
sity of Texas a literal univer-
sity and having one president
for all the state-supported
colleges.
Geographically, the present
University of Texas extends
beyond both Texas Tech and
! Texas A. & M. College. Its
its medical school at Galveston.
One benefit of a combination
would be elimination of dupli-
cated work. An obstacle would
be renewed difficulty about di-
vision of the university’s oil
wealth. .

Vann M. Kennedy, secretary
of the State Democratic execu-
tive committee, says the Gar-
ner-for-president boom is
spreading rapidly through the
state with offers to form Gar-
ner clubs in many sections.
The first Garner-for-presi-
dent club was formed at
Brownsville several vears ago
by Marvin Hall, now state fire
commissioner. Hall at first got
little attention, but soon the
movement gained momentum
and resulted in nomination of
Garner for vice president.
Should Garner not wish to
run for president, some’per-
sons believe the nucleus form
ed by such organizations
would prove an asset for anoth-
er Texan—Jesse Jones of
Houston.

A Houston visitor in Austin
when the State Democratic
executive committee met offer-
ed an explanation of why
Houston was not seeking the
state convention.
He suggested that Jesse
Jones, with the presidential
nomination in view, did not
want to antagonize other cities
of the state. Jones’ hotel is
the largest in Houston, and
ordinarily the hotels seek con-
ventions.

OFFICIALS AnENO
FARM LOiMEET
More than 150 officers and
directors, representing 78 Na-
tional Farm Loan Associations,
attended a group meeting held
at College Station June 29 and
21, according to representa-
tives who have just returned
from the meeting.
Ben Childs and Mose Stilley,
directors of the Timpson asso-
ciation; Belton Latimer, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Garrison-
Arlam and Timpson group;
and R. A. Hammer, director of
the Garriaon-Arlam associa-
tion, were among those attend-
ing.
More than 1,580 loans to-
taling $3,654,750 were made
during the first five months of
1938 by the Federal Land
Bank of Houston and the Fed-
eral Farm Mortgage Corpora-
tion to Texas farmers and
ranchers. Of this amount, $1,-
045,367, representing 504
loans, was for the purchase of
land for agricultural purposes.
More than 290 bank-owned
farms were sold to Texas farm-
ers during the same period.
The sale of these farms in-
volved considerations totaling
3685,533.66.
These significant facts were
brought out by. A. C. Williams,
President of the Bank and
General Agent -of the Farm
Credit Administration of Hous-
ton, in talking to the group.
"When the Bank is forced to
take over farm properties,”
said Mr. Williams, "necessary
repairs and improvements are
made and the units are sold to
new owners as soon as possi-
ble.”
“Hundreds of young farm-
ers,” he continued, “have
found it possible to acquire
farms of their own either
through purchase of a farm
from the Federal Land Bank
or by means of a Federal Land
Bank and Land Bank Commis-
sioner loan. In either case the
buyer pays off his mortgage in
reasonable semi-annual pay-
ments that gradually reduce
the principal of the loan over

Houston Chronicle Thursday.
John Wood, senior member
of the Texas Highway Com-
mission, picked C. V. Terrell,
incumbent, as his probably op-
ponent in the runoff primary
in a statement issued here
Thursday. Mr. Wood spent
the day in Houston in confer-
ence with a number of friends
and campaign workers.
"The issues are pretty well
established,” said Wood. “The
people are tired of political
considerations dictating mat-
ters that affect the weifar s of
all the people. The Saturday
and Sunday closings were
rescinded for political reasons.
After the second primary they
will be restored, with Fridays
probably added.
“Against such a record of
politics in office I have served
for more than five years on the
highway commission in a situ-
ation where I could have com-
pletely disrupted that de-
partment by playing politics,
and it is well known that I
did nothing of the kind. Con-
sequently the highway depart-
ment today is one of the most
efficient branches of the state
govemment..During my tenure
we have spent more than
$200,000,900 without a breath
of scandal or a wasted dollar.
This is the kind of record the
people would like to see in
the railroad commission, and
1 promise it to them.”
a long term of years. By taking
advantage of the Federal Land
Bank method of financing, the
farm purchaser avoids the
necessity of costly renewals
and has the added advantage
of very low interest rates.”
A National Youth Adminis-
tration Work Project employ-
ing 40 El Paso youths in the
city maintenance shop has
been approved. The youths
will work in four shifts and
will receive training in car-
pentry and mechanics.

Why do Bank* make charges on
some checking accounts?
Banks make service charges on cheeking accounts
when the balances are not sufficient to enable them
“to pay their own way.” This is done to prevent
such accounts being handled at an operating loss.
Banks seek to earn their operating expenses by loan-
ing and investing the funds entrusted with them.
When a service charge is made it is usually de-
pendent on the balance and relative activity of the
account.
In other words if an adequate balance is kept in
proportion to the number of checks written or de-
posits made its earnings may cover the cost of serv-
icing the account. The money which yonr account
earns for the bank is applied on the cost of check
books, signature cards, deposit slips, other supplies
and necessary time and expense of handling your
account. If your balance does not earn enough to
pay the actual cost of handling your checking ac-
count a moderate service charge may be required.
