tatives have a feeling that the
Senate “city-slicked” them on
the final appropriation of $50,-
OOO for contingent expenses of
the legislature.
After the $50,000 had been
voted, the Senate ordered the
Board of Control to install an
additional passenger elevator
in the East end of the capitol
and charge it up to the con-
tingent expense.
The Senate occupies the East
wing of the capitol; the House
has the west side of the build-
ing which will have no special
elevator.
Austin, Tex., May 20. (UP)
—Gov. James V. Allred has
not changed his belief that
young men give zip to govern-
ment and get things done.
No pensioners fill the state
offices which he fills by ap-
pointment.
It may be because the Gov-
ernor has grown up politically
in a younger generation and
lacks the acquaintance with
the old timers and consequent-
ly escaped their demand for
state berths.
Whatever the cause, he has
shown a sharp preference for
youth in choosing officials.

Boston, May 20.—Belief that
recovery is truly “just around
the coiner” and that there's a
job ahead for every American
workman was voiced here by
Henry l, Harriman, of Boston,
until recently president of the
United States Chamber of
Commerce.
The “vast potential demand
for capital goods” was one of
eight favorable omens listed
by Harriman, and he predict*
that the country would hare to
begin spending something like
15 billions a year for Seeds of
industry, the railroads; high-
ways, the merchant marine,
motor vehicles, new homes,
and other needs.
“For the sake of conser-
vatism let us reduce It to 10
billions of dollars,” said Harri-
man, "and we find that there
is work ahead for at least 10
millions of men. * • * In the
face of these figures, how fool-
ish and h6w futile it is to talk
of reduced output and of the
30-hour week. 1 can easily see
a vast shortage of labor im-
pending if the work week re-
mains at 40 or even if it is in-
creased to 48. America has a
demand for more wealth and a
job for every workman within
its limits.”

THE ECONOMIC STRENGTH
OF OUR COMMUNITY
Bamks are a part of the economic blood and
sinew of all community life. Without banks
commerce and industry could not carry on,
nor contribute to the economic welfare of the
people.
In times of prosperity unusual demands
upon financial institutions are few; therefore
their stability is considered a matter of fact.
But when conditions drop to normal or below
—’tis then the fundamental soundness and
foundation strength of a bank is tested.
This institution was built upon solid rock
and built to stand the test of both good times
and bad times. With adequate resources it
stands today a distinctive power in the promo- |
tion of local industry and community progress. |
Make this bank your bank.

Youngest of the Governor’s
appointees is Gerald Manr,.
secretary of State, who was
appointed at 24. R. B. Ander-
son was named Tax Commis-
sioner at 25.
R. C. Waters was appointed
Insurance Commissioner at
39 and F. E. Nichols, State La-
bor Commissioner at 89. Adju-
tant General Carl Nesbill is 38.
Politically, the Governor also
looks to youth for his aides.

Gov. Allred has yielded so
frequently to the numerous re-
quests that he designate
“weeks” that he mixed up the
dates on his proclamations
boosting two separate tomato
weeks.
Tomato seasons are differ-
ent in different parts of the
3tate. so two weeks had to fce
proclaimed.
In the proclamation for one,
the *ame dates were used that
had been used for “Insurance
Week.”*
Corrected dates for the to-
mato week are: De Witt and
Lavaca counties, week of May
20-25; Jacksonville, June 2, 3,
4 and 5.
Wakefield is a valued
young political advisor and
keeps the Governor in close
contact with the older men in
the national administration.
Myron Blalock, Marshall, at
40 was the Governor's pick for
chairman of the State Demo-
cratic convention, and Vann
Kennedy, 40. his choice for
Democratic Executive Commit-
tee secretary.
B. W. Calvert of Hillsboro,
was the Governor's choice for
Speaker of the House at 30,
but lost to the more seasoned
Coke Stevenson.
The 44th Legislature proved
no exception to the rule that
some “bull” is made in the
rash that marks the closing of
a session.
Rep. McCaila got action
from the Senate on the final
day upon a group of hills that
repealed obsolete laws. The
Senators gravely amended one
of the obsolete acts before re-
pealing it.
Some of the Texas Represen-
Assignment of Ranger Cap-
tain Tom Hickman to Head-
quarters company at Austin is
believed to put him in line for
an active part in the organiza-

Safety, which will be author-
ized under an act effective Au-
gust 9.
He has been mentioned as a
possible director. The. director
is to be named by a commis-

named by the Governor.
Until they are named it will
be difficult to guess the direc-

DEPOSIT INSURANCE
AN EXTRA MEASURE
OF PROTECTION
The management of this Bank always has
taken every possible precaution to safe-
guard the funds of its depositors. In keep-
ing with this traditionally conservative
policy, deposits made here are now insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora-
tion.
The insurance thus provided applies to all
deposits, including personal and corporate
deposits, deposits of public funds, and trust
funds awaiting investment.
At the present time, the maximum amount
insured for each depositor is $5,000. This
does not mean that a depositor with an ac-
count of, say $500, is guaranteed $5,000,
but it does mean that his $500 is fully in-
sured. Deposit insurance is for your pro-
tection. It is a permanent part of the Na-
tion's law.
