thousands of other people are against
it. He doesn’t say anything about
liquor and open saloons, but every-
body knows where he stands on that
question.
Ferguson says he wants to abolisn
boards and commissions; yet he never
made an effort during the two terms
he served as Governor himself and
the two terms he served as proxy
Governor to abolish any boards or
commissions. On the contrary he
caused many to be created by the
Legislature. His real belief is that
all departments of government ought
to be abolished in favor of one use-
less department—himself.
Ferguson has always been a great
hand to try to take advantage of the
people when they are in distress.
When we were in the middle of the
depression he wanted to make it more
cruel by passing a general sales tax
on the necessities of life—bread,
and beans, milk and medicine, blue
shirts and overalls. Now that we are
in what may turn out to be another
depression, he proposes the same
panacea and hopes to get by with
promising a pension for everybody
when he, himself, fought the adoption
of the present pension amendment.
I repeat, regrettable as it is, we
are in for another ordeal of Fer-
gusonism, and we had just as well
get ready to meet it.

‘THE REST OF THE
RECORD”
By JAMES V. ALLRED
Governor of Texas
“/'"tOME on in, the water’s fine.’’ Bath-
L ing in Japan is on a different plane
from ours, as these two American gentle-
men can tell you. Tubs are perpendicu-
lar there, Instead of horizontal, and you
stand In the water up to your neck. But
we shouldn’t laugh at this sotnewhat
primitive scene, according to Consum-
ers Information, which points out that
only a hundred years ago, there were
only 1,500 bathtubs in the United States,
all of them in Philadelphia, where they
had a city water system and taxed each
tub $3.00. President Fillmore installed
the first tub in the White House in 1850.
Advertising of the advantages of con-
venient and sanitary bathing started 31
years later, has continued increasingly
ever since, and has made the United
States the cleanest nation on earth. Even
the most advanced European nations are
far behind us in this respect, and the pos
session of a bathtub in most countries is
a sign not only of opulence, but ostenta-
tion. The United States is among the few
countries generally educated to the
knowledge that health and cleanliness
go together.

Jim Ferguson has resumed pub-
lication of the Forum, which he stop-
ped immediately after my nomination
in the first primary last year. Charg
both the National and State Govern-
ments with insincerity, ignorance
and inexperience, Old Jint has a six-
point platform; but says that he
hasn’t, as yet, selected a candidate.
It is, however, perfectly obvious
that Ferguson is going to make an
other proxy campaign for Governor
Ferguson plans have been brewing
for several months. All the talk is
that Mrs. Ferguson probably will run,
but one or two other known candi-
dates for Governor have been flirting
with Old Jim to get the Ferguson
support. It is regretably apparent
that Texas is in for another ordeal
and we had just as well get ready
for it.
The Ferguson platform is typical
of his audacity. It has about 67 varie-
ties of promises, one to appeal to
every class of voters. He is going to
economize twenty million dollars by
increasing expenditures Bixty million!
He s going to help the poor by taxing
them! A little sop for everybody!
Ferguson is for paying a pension
of $30 a month to everybody over
65 whether they need it or not; yet
he proposes to take away from the
needy old people who are now re-
ceiving aid from the State the
cigarette, liquor and other taxes now
going into that fund. He says he will
use these taxes to abolish the State
ad valorem taxes. That would relieve
from taxation the oil companies now
paying on their wells and leases; the
insurance and loan companies now
paying ad valorem taxes on skycraper
buildings; and it would make tax free
all of the vast acres of land now
owned by non-resident individuals
and foreign cororations.
Ferguson’s platform is silent on
some other issues in which the people
are interested. Of course, he couldn’t
discuss the question of adequately
taxing oil and sulphur because he is
against that. He doesn’t say anything
about race track gambling because
every gambler and racketeer in the
country knows how the race tract
law got on the statute books under
the Ferguson administration; and
every racketeer and gambler, even
those who have been driven out of
the State under this administration,
would welcome the return of Fer-
guson, or anybody who thinks like
him because they would not be mo-
lested under the Ferguson idea of
government.
Old Jim doesn’t say anything abo<it
the child labor amendment because
he knows that while labor organiza-
tions and women’s clubs are for it,
