Editor's note: Achin Al-
corn, philosopher on his John-
son grass farm on Sulbhur
seems to be trying to defend
himself, his letter this week
indiefttes. It’s a job we’d nev-
er undertake.
Dear Editar: From time to time
people around here have implied,
implied thunder, have come right
out and said that I'm lazy.
“Ole A. A., whoever he is, must
be the laziest man in this part df
Texas,” I heard one man tell an-
other in town one day while he was
looking over a copy of this news-
paper. “You ever heard of any-
body as far behind in his work as
he seems to be?”
I now wish to state that some
people just don’t know the differ-
ence between an economist and a
bum.
According to a front-page arti-
cle 1 read in a copy of a newspa-
per last night, the leading econom-
ists of this country have advised
President Johnson to ask big busi-
ness to siow down and even post-
pone some plant expansion, in or-
der to head off inflation. They
have studied the exnnomic index
and the eost of living and spiral-
ing prices and divided that too fast
expansion at this time would be
j inflationary, and many industrial-
ists have agreed.
1 am pleased to announce that
j I was years ahead of th'* econoin
i.-ts.
Some people thought the reason
I didn't build a new fence around
this Johnson grass farm was that
i I was too lazy, whereas actually
all the time 1 was fighting infla-
tion.
j I didn’t have to wait for the eco-
nomist to tell me that plunging
into the job of putting a new roof
on my house would be inflationary,
In this modern, complex world, a
man has got to know when to put
the brakes on. You’d think the
big industrialists would know this
without having to be told.
Declining to jump on my tractor
and plow up some un-used ground
isn't laziness, it's anti-inflation
ary. You're not going to catch me
sending the inflationary spiral off
the top of the chart and bringing
economic collapse to the entire
nation.
The next time you hear some-
body say I'm lazy, ask him to get
in touch a ith President John-on.
Yours faithfully, A. A.
Monroe Goode is reported im-
proved after long illness. Visiting
Mr. and Mrs. Goode (luring Fa-tcr

ELECTION NEWSLETTER
About the only special qualification for a County
Judge in Texas is set forth in the Texas Constitution,
which says the County Judge "shall be well-informed
in the law of this State.”
This means Criminal Law and Criminal Proced-
ure and Wills and Estates and Contracts and Torts and
Constitutional Law and Legal Ethics and Negotiable
Insirunv nts and Civil Procedure and Evidence and
Abstracts and Real Property and Equity and a dozen
other li gal branches.
I dislike repeating that I have had legal train-
ing. bill H is an important qualification for this office.
I have the benefit of law school, practical experience
in a law office, correspondence courses, and more than
II years oi working with the law as it relates to Coun-
ty government.
And all this is not always ( nough. as I am fre-
quently stumped and often confused. But. I keep try-
ing and studying and doing my best.
Since being in office. I have, heard 8f37 criminal
cases and I am very pleased to sav that not one has
been reversed or appealed. *
This does not include Probate Court, which
handles wills, estates of deceased persons, guardian-
ships, mental illness, and so on. I have heard 776 sep-
arate eases in this Court, involving about 5.000 individ-
ual judicial decisions to which I have signed my name.
In my opinion, such experience is important and
valuable, and I invite every citizen to consider this
qualification when he casts his vote.
