BUSINESS CARDS
the political system wax evident,
however, almost from the time that
they began to return for the new
session. One interesting sidelight
upon the question Was given by an
influential person as follows: When
the country waa at the bottom of the
depression the people were ready to
try anything. They were like th*
football team that is behind and
darts throwing passe* widely, on the
theory that its condition was so bad
that it, couldn’t be worse. Ndw, with
business constantly improving, and
with those who desire to work find-
ing job* in increasing numbers, the
people find that the American, econ-
omic system is capable of righting
itself without radical innovations.
One of the issues which has been
kicking around for years but which
will be pushed again at this session
i* the proposal to legislate a 30-hour
work week for all Induetry on the
theory that simply by having all
plant* curtail working hours every-
one will have an overnight trip to
Utopia with no return ticket These
is hardly an economist in the coun-
try that ha* hot pointed to the fal-
lacy of this

“Take the century-old Tennessee

“We’ve identified, marked, and
nunfcered 246 graves, some unmark-
ed since before the Civil War, In
,r some caaes three or four generations
,1 are buried there, together with a
g number of Civil War veterans. We
n traced the identity of some bodies
e back nearly 100 years, mainly by
correspondence and interviews.”
lt Dr. Derrick says sentiment and ra-
ti ligion are the chief obstacles to ov-
y ercome. “People don’t want their
dead disturbed. Wh encounter strong
^ family ties, deep-seated traditions,
j and Creeds which object to removal,
g especially among reletives of Civil

ture to create a teachers retirement
plan.
A constitutional amendment was
adopted last summer authorizing the
Legislature to provide for retire-
ment, but an enabling law will be
necessary to put it into eitoft. ■
A committee of the Texas State
Teachers Association plan* » meet-
ing to draft a bill.
The Senate committee which in-
vestigated school laws has prepared
a bill, which Senator Olin Van Zandt
of Tioga, a member, estimated would
cost the state about $2,500,000 per
year. Teachers would pay a little
mote than that out of their salaries.
Under the Senate bill, cost of ad-
ministration would be borne by the
teachers, and the amount they put up
above 'that cost would bo matched
by the state.
Participation by teachers would
be mandatory.

The 45th Legislature is composed
entirely of man, the first time in
year a Texas legislature has not had
a woman member.
Rep. Helen Moore of Texua City,
the only woman in the last legisla-
ture, did not seek re-election be-
cause, she said, the position required
too much time.

Railroads: Traffic is good, profits

the ICC’v refusal to continue the
emergency surcharge^ is a serious
blow. ICC say*, oji the other hand,
that the emergency is over, that
more freight pick-iip* will cover th«
loss. Time can only tell which side ik
right. In the meantime, the lines tie

part of the traveling public which

• Employment: As mentioned shove,
is still one .of the most serious of out
internal problems. Unemployment
total is hovering around six hr seven
millions. Business must make big
progress’ in production before this
labor surplus is a1isoi.beit. Politics,
taxation, labor troubles and techno-
logical advance are great obstacles
to normal employment.
