Sheriff Harvey and his deputies
located a still about five miles west
of Lometa in a pasture the first of the
week. The officers had been waiting
to take the still when the operators
were there and went out Thursday
night but the parties operating it
were not on hand. There was a large
barrel of mash and the necessary
equipment for making liquor, with
the exception of the cooker. The
mash was poured out by the officers
and the equipment brought to Lam-
pasas.
The location was in a thickly tim-
bered section and much cord wood
had been cut around the location
which showed that the owners were
keeping a very close watch on their
still.

their heart felt gratitude for the

gifts, but Mrs. Wilson’s physical con-
dition does not permit the nervous
str-ain occasioned by so many con-
tinued calls, so the many friends of
the family are asked to coopei-ate
with us in giving Mi-s. Wilson as
many quiet hours for rest as possible.

sociation. $5,250 cash is due to be
paid in by the subscribers before the
meeting Monday, much of this amount
has already been paid in since no-
tices have been sent out, those who
have not yet paid in their subsci’ip-
tions have been notified to deposit
their subscription amount with any

the credit of the ‘Lampasas Federal

each month, together with the repay-
ment of loans monthly the local asso-
ciation will be in position to build up
a good active loan association. This
is a long needed institution for Lam-
pasas, our people should get behind
it.

VOTE WILL NOT BE BROADCAST
DALLAS, July 26.—The Texas
election bureau, operated by the
Texas managing editors association,
for more than 20 years as a coopera-
tive agency for gathering election re-
turns for newspaper use, announced
Thursday that hereafter returns sup-
plied by it may not be broadcast or
placed on bulletin hoards. The bu-
reau was incorporated July 10. The
announcement says:
“In the last few years election
news' gathered by the bureau has
been used so largely by persons who
contributed nothing to the expense
as to destroy its value to the papers
which do contribute.
“This election news. has been ob-
tained from bulletin boards and from
broadcasts. Attorneys advise that
when news is broadcast or put on
bulletin boards it becomes public
property. Hence, to protect its rights
in this news, the bureau has prohib-
ited the use of its returns on bulletin
boards, and incorporated So that it
may assert in court its property right
in whatever news it supplies to its
members.
“The ban on broadcasts and bulletin
boards is merely a move to preserve
the only agency we have for gather-
ing returns at all on election night.”

AN APPEAL FOR
FAIR PLAY
When I announced for the office of County Judge some
three months ago, I immediately placed my platform in the
hands of the people and I openly invited a 'discussion of the
county finances, but I have received no answer until yester-
day, when it was too late for me to secure space in the
County papers. Wednesday evening Judge Higgins placed
a statement in the mails to go to the country boxes, and
Thursday afternoon this statement was scattered about
town. It seems to me that in view of the fact that my
opponent has had over two months within which he could
have made this statement, and in view of the fact that I
have repeatedly invited a discussion on finances, this last
moment statement was purposely made in order that I could
not have time to answer it in the out-of-town boxes. I will
not take up your time with a long-winded statement of
finances, but I do want you to know the nature of the fight I
have had to make. Every charge I have made has been
publicly made, and every charge I have had to answer has
been whispered, and now comes the last minute statement.
You hear it whispered that I will raise your taxes and will
build a new courthouse, and that the Chamber of Commerce
will control my office. They have never dared to make any
of these statements publicly and give me the opportunity
to answer, If you will read my platform you will find the
answer to every whisper. Don’t you people know me well
enough to believe my public statement against a lying whis-
per? I think you should resent these whispers and last-
minute statements and show by your ballot that you do
not approve of such a campaign.
There are just two matters which I wish to call your at-
tention to with reference to this financial statement. The
Judge says that on April 1, 1934, the county had sufficient
funds on hand to pay all debts owed by the county. This
statement is misleading for two reasons, viz; FIRST. He
could not have used this money to pay the county debts as
the money was in separate funds and had to be used for
stated purposes only. SECOND. If he had used the money
to pay the debts the county would not have had funds to
operate on for the balance of the year. Hence, the county’s
debts will not be reduced or paid this year. It is strange
to me that in the face of a statement from the Tax Col-
lector published in the Temple Telegram, and also in the
Lampasas papers that our tax collections are more this year
than last year, the Judge makes this statement that our
income will be reduced $27,000.00 this year.
I can also tell you why the statement that “Lampasas
County helped Burnet County build roads, why not hers”
is not a wild assertion. The permanent school fund owned
Lampasas County Bridge Bonds to the extent of $5,000.00
„ and this was an investment drawing interest. Judge Hig-
f gins paid off these bonds with other funds and this left the
School Fund with $5,000.00 in cash and this is the money
which was invested in Burnet County bonds. In other words
the school money was already invested in Lampasas Bonds,
so why sell the bonds and buy Burnet County bonds? It
was done simply to make a showing that the County owed
less bonded indebtedness.
It is very well to keep down the county’s debts, but you
must also consider what you have been getting for your
taxes for the past 17 years. Nearly a million dollars has
been spent, and I ask you in all fairness what have we to
show for this expenditure?
NOT MORE TAXES, BUT MORE FOR YOUR TAXES!
