ranged so that it would run exactly
east and west. The stands were
also ntoved to give greater service.

over, tin1 entire athletic field was
lengthened to 735 feet, and the
south fence was moved back to
provide parking space and to keep
ears from the park. The gridiron
was graded»to a turtleback form

JIM YOUNG
Dallas, Tex., March 2.’..- Declar-
ing that he was a lifelong Democrat
Jim Young, Kaufman county attor-
ney and former Congressman,
launched his campaign for Govern-
or in a radio speech here at a state-
wide rally of his friends Mr.
Young based his campaign on a
progruin of tax reduction.
Mr. Young contended that the
farms of Texas have* decreased in
value and productivity, though
tit rough an antiquated system tin*
small land owners were hearing
more than their share of the tan
dens of the State expense's. He
proposed to equalize the tax bur-
dens by reducing the farm taxes
and levying toll on the natural re
sources of the State, such as oil,
gas, sulphur and other minerals.
“The farmer and ranchman have
been a stabilizing influence in our
community life amt the support
and mainstay of our system of gov
eminent,” he declared. “I advo-
cate that the burden of taxes hi*
made lighter on the farmer and the
small land owner, it should lx*
placed on those who have become
licit in our natural resources of
oil, gas and other minerals.”
Mr. Young argued that expenses
of government must lx* curtailed
and tin* places of waste found arid
abolished. He said that he did not
menu, however, that the large cm
porntions should he unjustly taxed.
Mr. Young went on record as op-
posed to a statewide bond issue for
