WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
— CONGRESSMAN — TEKAS —
FARM PROGRAM BROADCAST
America’s Town Meeting has a
30-minute radio program every
Tuesday night from 8:00 to 8:30.
It is now on tour with a program
emanating from a different place
each week. March 28, the sub-
ject at Peoria, 111.,will be "What
Kind of Farm Program Do We
Need?" Allan B. Kline, president
of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, and I will discuss this
subject: It will doubtless involve
the Brannan Plan, which I will
support and Mr. Kline will op-
pose. This program is carried on
271 stations of the American
Broadcasting Company network.
ONE APPROPRIATION BILL
The appropriation bills, often
referred to as supply bills, origi-
nate in the House Appropriations
Committee, which is composed of
moie than forty members. Here-
tofore, each of eleven bills carry-
ing the total amount was con-
sidered separately. This year, all
the appropriations will be in one
big bill. It is strictly an experi-
ment. There is considerable dan-
ger of “log rolling”. That is,
certain members will vote with
other members in exchange for
their votes. It is now planned
to bring this omnibus bill before
the House, March 27, and finish
it, if possible, before the Easter
recess, which will likely com-
mence April 6 and last until April
18.
MARGARINE BILL
The bill to repeal taxes on
oleomargarine has become a law.
One sleeper provision includes a
penalty up to $5,000 a day for
violations of the act: However,
it is so written that it will in-
clude practically all violations of
the anti-trust laws administered
by the Federal Trade Commission.
Oleomargarine is made from
animal fats; margarine is made
principally from vegetable oils,
including cottonseed and soybean,
yet the law requires the use of the
name “oleomargarine”, which is a
misnomer. This name was in-
sisted upon by those against the
bill for the purpose of making
it just as cumbersome as possible,
even by name.
JOB HUNTING
The June graduates, high school
and college, will find it more diffi-
cult to secure jobs. Most big com-
panies have completed their post-
war expansions and have cut
down hiring. Only about 50 per
cent of the engineers, lawyers,
and business administrators will
find jobs in their field and will
have to look elsewhere, the statis-
tics of the Bureau of Labor in-
dicate; it is also reported there
are too many teachers for high
schools, and too few for the lower
grades, and that accountants and
journalists are also going to find
jobs pretty scarce; but doctors,
dentists, nurses and medical aides
will have no trouble finding em-
ployment, although there is a sur-
plus of pharmacists.
This brings to mind the situation
concerning job opportunities in our
country. Two childless brothers,
heads of the great A. & P., have
denied business ownership op-
portunities to a million young
men, most of whom were in the
armed services during the two
world wars, and helped to save
our country.
United States Steel Company is
not only in the steel business, it
is in thousands of other lines of
business. The same applies to
General F. What chance
has a young man or young woman
in business in competition with
either ot these huge concerns?
The fact is that these large con-
cerns use costless capital, obtain-
ed from customers in the form of
high prices. An official of one
of the largest steel companies re-
cently recommended 24 per cent
profit for the steel companies
after the payment of taxes. His
statement was widely carried in
the press as advocating 8 per cent
to his stockholders, but the press
was silent about the additional
16 per cent, which he wanted as
capital for expansion purposes and
for the purpose of acquiring com-
peting concerns by merger, which
of course, would be costless cap-
ital. Anyone who says there is
no monopoly in steel is closing his
eyes to the facts. Our recent in-
vestigation before the joint Con-
gressional committee, of which I
am a member, disclosed that the
recent increase in steel price was
made by all the steel companies
at about the same time and for
the same amounts. Some of the
companies did not even bother
about getting up new price sche-
dules, but informed the trade that
their prices would be the same
as United States Steel. This gives
to these concerns the power to
tax the consumer and the power

ON TRIAL
The other day I stood in a
crowded court room and watched
the face of a defendant who was
on trial for his life. He was ac-
cused of the most terrible crimes,
and the evidence was piling up
against him in an overwhelming
fashion. He defended himself by
claiming that he was the victim
of mistaken identification.
As I watched his face up until
the last minute before the jury
brought in its verdict, he was
confident that he was going to get
by with his crimes. In his face
was written the assurance that
the jury would not have the heart’
to send him to the electric chair.
When the verdict was given and
he did get the chair, a dazed,
surprised look came over his face.
He just couldn’t believe it. He
had gotten by with his crimes so
long, that he just could not be-
to destroy competitors.
COTTON QUOTA BILL
The two Houses of Congress
have adopted the Conference Re-
port on the cotton bill, which also
includes potatoes and peanuts.
There is not much difference in
this report and what the House
passed some time ago. One addi-
tion is that provisions are made
for the distribution of potatoes, a
surplus farm commodity, by pay-
ing the handling and transporta-
tion charges. This should include
all surplus commodities, but it
only includes potatoes.
lieve that anyone or anything
could stop him or punish him.
The average man has read
many times in the Bible: “The
soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
But he does not believe the Bible
on this' point, or he would not
deliberately continue to tVy to get
by with his “little sins.” You
may not believe it, brother, but
you are on trial right now. God
sees and knows your every action,
but more than that. He knows
what you are thinking about. If
you think you can hide anything
from God, you are fooling your-
self.
The Bible says: “Be not de-
ceived, God is not mocked. What-
soever a man sows that shall he
also reap.” Live fast and loose
and God will see to it that you
fall apart before your time. But
this is not all — “It is appointed
unto men once to die, and after
that the judgment.” All men shall
stand before God, the books will
be opened, and a man will be
judged for his deeds in the flesh.
There will be no jury, only God
will be the judge.
You may think, up until the last
minute that you can get by with
your sins, but your thinking will
have nothing to do with what hap-
pens there. If your name is not
written in the “Lamb's Book of
Life,” and your plea before God
is not that you have trusted Jesus
Christ to make it right with God
by substituting His death for the
death penalty which your sin de-
mands, God himself has said you
will spend eternity in hell.
You may not believe there is a
hell, but you will be there only
five minutes until you will be-
lieve: Tragically, that will be too
late. If there is a doubt in your
heart that you will be able to
plead the substitution of Christ’s
death for your sins, then I beg of
you go to your minister and talk
it over with him, before it is too
late; or write to me in care of
this paper.
