THE GUARDIAN OF FREEDOM
OCORNED in many lands, assailed . even
O here, the Bills of Rights are the final safe-
guard of the individual,” is the message con-
tained in an article by James Truslow Adams
in the New York Times magazine.
“In a time when personal liberties are be-
ing trampled under foot and when personal
vengeance is not only condoned but encour.
aged by totalitarian leaders,” writes this em-
inent American historian, “the greatest dem-
ocracies most look again and with new con-
cern to their Bills of Rights. In such docu-
ments live the sum of man’s victories over the
forces of barbarism and oppression and in
their preservation lies the hope of man as a
free individual.
“The Bills of Rights have been abandoned
in the totalitarian countries. In Great Britain
and in France there has been complaint a-
gainst unofficial censorship. In our own A-
merica we have seen free speech and assem-
bly challenged-and upheld by the courts. See-
ing these things we cannot fail to realize that
our own Bills of Rights under the protection
of the court is the sole guarantee of the liber-
ties of the individual.”
In this country the Bill of Rights is the body
of principles contained in the first ten amend,
ments to the Constitution. And it is by all odds
the most vital section of that great documen'
of human freedom. The right to worship as
one desire?—the rights of frep speech an;
free press—the r'ght to petition the govern-
ment for a redress of grievances—the right
of trial by jury. All these and other rights
without which human freedom is an empty
term are specified and guaranteed—the ten-
ets of democracy, in firm, clear phrases.
And here is the final safeguard of the indi-
vidual, as Mr. Adams says. Whenever we
weaken any of these rights, no matter how
little, we move a step toward authoritarian
ism. There never was a time is history when
H was more important for a free nation of
free men to again appraise and reaffirm the
great principles laid down by the founding
fathers in the Bills of Rights.

ADVERTISING DAIRY PRODUCTS
rpHROUGH a national campaign now being
X worked out ... it is hoped that $1,000,.
000 will be raised for an advertising cam-
paign next year to boost dairy products.
“Once dairy farmers can be assured of
fairly decent milk prices in line with produc
tion costs, they can well afford to spend a
reasonable amount of money advertising th>
greatest agricultural industry in the nation.
That is one very important way to increase
consumption for the benefit of everybody’s
health, and to get markets for the benefit of
every dairy farmer’s pocketbook.”—The Dai-
rymen’s League News.

Baseball is called our national
pastime but the game of hide
and seek Is more deserving of
the title. Everyone plays—only
they don’t er.Jcy it In Its modern
version. Today's ‘game" goes
like this Most . f our taxes—
now 63 percent of them—are
hiding In the price of every pur-
chase. All of us, as consumers,
do the s e e k i n g—wondering
meanwhile why our dollars buy
so little. The National Consum-
ers Tax Commission shows how
desperate the “game'’ has be-
come. In a survey at its Chicago
headquarters, this organization,
crusading against hidden taxe-^,
revealed the average family liv-
ing on $500 to $2,500 a year pays,
blindly, In indirect levies an a-
mount equal to the Federal tax
on a $7,500 income. It found that
the family’s hidden taxes—to-
taling $160.50 or 12 percent of all
expenditures—rank in size only
behind food and housing costs.
The fo> d bill is $428.76, housing
takes $294.65.
To show that Falfurrias
housewives are fully aware of
the situation, a group of promi-
nent ladles are to meet Decem-
ber 21 and talk over plans for
action on reform . . . Mrs. W.
B. GARDNER, Mrs. BIRDIE RI-
LEY, Mrs. CHAS. KOSSBIEL and
Mrs. C. K. RUSSELL are co-
chalrmcn of the organization
which pr. poses to bring to light
all hidden taxes . . .
Now that South Texas deer
are beginning to move and hunt-
ting is getting to be alright, the
deer stories begin circulating. . .
Evidently there are New Dealers
in the animal kingdom for J. R.
FORSYTH comes in with reports
of discovering a WPA deer—Ho
was sitting down, so the story
goes . . . BEN WILSON tells of
of rescuing a deer from a pack
coyotes and then watching the
buck leap for the railroad right-
of-way to flag a freight. . .While
OLLIE NORRIS gets his deer hide
from the post office after hav-
ing it prepared i»y a taxidermist,
A. K. SHORT, regional game
manager, comes in with some In-
formation that is well worth
considering in South Texas . . .
As most sportsmen know, the
state of Pennsylvania is allow-
ing the shooting of does and as
a result of this practice some
startling information comes to
light ... He reports that a big
percentage of the socalled "does”
are in reality scrubby bucks
f§* without horns. He Is of the opi-
i ni( n the physical aspects of the
j deer population eventually will
^ be seriously affected if the big.
healthy bucks are killed off and
the scrubs left to propagate...
To round out this chronicle of
the deer slayer, reports have been
received here that one of ED.
RACHAI/S punchers in La Salle
county scorns the use of the gun
when in need of fresh venison
... He merely boards his cayuse
and pursues the wiley buck with
a lariat—and gets him, too . . .
EMIL SCHERTZ, living west
of the city, comes in to pay his
subscription to Facts and show a
little of his fruit . . .
