In this country we know no "unchallenged master."
With our government divided into three branches, we
can hardly comprehend a dictator, such as Hitler.
For several months on him has depended the decision
of peace or war in Europe, if not in the whole world.
In the words of Dr. Wilhelm Stuckard, constitutional
expert of the government, Hitler is “the supreme political
leader of the people, supreme leader and highest superior
of the Administration, supreme judge of the people, supreme
commander of the armed forces, and the source of all
law ”
In other words, Hiller is executive, legislative and
judicial power, all in one.
* * * * *
He is above the State: he knows no equals; he is mas-
ter over the life of every German, and he is responsible
to nobody but himself.
Leon Archimbaud, well-known French Nationalist, who
dislikes many things in present-day Germany, gives this
description of Hitler’s position, which is quoted with ap-
proval in the German press:
"Hitler is unchallenged master of Great Germany.
"When he issues a command, it is carried out by 75,-
000,000 Germans.
"In France, Hitler is represented as a mounteback
and a stage comedian, just right to make big speeches
and to review troops. That is our mistake.
"The German people are considered to be resigned for
the moment, but eager to throw off the heavy hand of
the Fuehrer. Another mistake.
“The German people regard Hitler as their Messiah.
"He unites, in their view, the virtues of Frederick the
Great, Luther and Mohammed.
"Mein Kampf" has replaced the Bible and the
Koran.”

This may all be true. But there are also examples of
Carl Schurz, Baron von Steuben and thousands of Ger-
mans who came to this country in order to live as free
people.
If these examples mean anything at all, then the Ger-
mans as a whole are not the sort of people who would not
appreciate freedom.
And not even Hitler can replace freedom.
I FARMERS, cont. from p. 1)
our list. We now have a-
round 380 members. The
local branch submitted and
approved the suggest ion
which was approved by all
members of the committee
at its regular meeting Sat-
urday, Sept. 3.
A plan of alloting the cot-
ton acreage which would be
more just to small farmers
was approved.
We also submitted a sug-
gestion that the payments to
cooperating farmers in 1938
farm programs by the gov-
ernment should be made by
November 15 or at least be-
fore Jan. 1st which also was
approved by the county com-
mittee members.
We endorsed the Moravia
branch in their effort to be
refunded the money paid for
the Bankhead cotton certifi-
cates in 1934 and 1935.

the ginner or by the grower
acting through the ginner.
During the administration
of the Bankhead Act, there
were two ways a grower
could satisfy the tax, in the
-"vent he did not have enough
coupons to cover his cotton.
On the one hand, he could

•oupons frpm growers who
offered them for sale or he
lould purchase them from
'.he Tax Exemption Oertifi-
ate Pool out of Washington
in this case, the government
will not accept a claim for
refund.
On the other hand, the
grower could pay the amount
due to the ginner, who would
in turn, transmit it to the
Bureau of Internal Revenue.
In this instance, whether the
Lax was paid by the ginner
or by the grower, a claim
for refund will be considered
by the Government. Ginners
or growers who acted in the
latter manner should contact
the nearest office of the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue and
Request a G. T. Form 111
Treasury Department, Inter-
nal Revenue Service. These
forms are self-explanatory
and must be filed on or be-
fore June 30, 1939 to be ac-
ceptable.

To the State Executive
Committee:
The Lavaca County Com-
mittee of the Farmers’ Lea-
gue at its regular session,
Sept. 3, 1938 held at Hal-
lettsville, discussed and ap-
proved by a vote of all mem-
bers of said county commit-
tee present the following a-
mendment to the agricultu-
ral conservation act:
Since Hon. H. A. Wallace
on August 15th proclaimed
the present farm law will be
effective and administered in
1939 with maybe a few pos-
sible changes or amendments
as it is in 1938, the cotton
acreage sel at 27,000,000
acres, 1,153,000 above the
1938 quota,
We, the members of the
Lavaca County Farmers’ Lea-
gue, find that the way the
cotton acreage was alleted
to small farmers in 1938 if
continued, will bring very
disastrous results in the very
near future. It is a sure
way to get the agricultural
lands in the hands of a few;
instead of promoting home
ownership it discourages it,
almost forbids it.
The large land owners com-
bined their smaller farms in-
to larger farms to cut down
their expense and thus eli-
rriated tenants which in many
instances become a burden
to the government. The small
owner with the present per-
centage of allotment for
1938, can hardly pay for the
most needed necessities of
life much less be able to
pay his obligations such as
interest and taxes.
To encourage home owner-
ship of our small and begin-
ner farmers who have very
little chance under the 1938
allotment plan, we therefore
suggest the following plan of
alloting the cotton acreage
for 1939 so as to give
all farmers an even chance.
FIRST: Eliminate the 5
acre minimum.
SECOND: To allot every
farmer operating a farm
from one to first 40 acres

Damon
_ By A. J. Elster —
—o—
Worthwhile
Moments
Sept. 6. — One of the big
and really worthwhile mom-
ents in the young life of two
classes of a total of 136
young Catholics — 42 buys
and 52 girls of the Needville
parish during the hours be-
tween 2 and 4, and 20 boys
and 22 girls of the Damon
parish from 4:15 to 5:30 last
Sunday evening — was his
Excellency, the Most Rev. C.
E. Byrne, D. D., bishop of
the Galveston diocese,in each
instance in the presence of
an audience of faithful that
filled the church to capacity,
administered the sacrament
of Confirmation to each class
member. At Needville at
the time of the beginning of
festivities the class and
men’s and women’s societies,
wearing badges and carrying
banners, arranged themselv-
es in front of the rectory
from whence in procession
they accompanied to the
church the bishop, Rev. Jo-
seph Klobouk and the visit-
ing clergy, Rev. Paul Nemec,
Wallis, Rev. Jak Kveton,
Sealy, Rev. Dr. Frank Klin-
kacek, Frydek, Rev. Jarome
Tydlacka) Rosenberg, Rev.
Vaclav Svrcek, Wharton and
Rev. Aloys Nesvadba, Fay-
etteville, who had come to
assist in the ceremonies. At
the steps to the church en-
trance the bishop was greet-
ed by Miss Estelle Mensik,
Needville, who in well-chosen
words expressed the felicita-
tions of the class and handed
him the class gift. Once
inside, the bishop thanked
all concerned for courtesies
extended, then preached a
very impressive sermon on
how blessings have always
been sent the world which
blessings, it seems however,
are thoughtlessly received.
After Confirmation the bi-
shop addressed the class giv-
ing them valuable informa-
tions and pointing out ugly
present-day tendencies and
how these could and should
be corrected. At Damon,
during the time stated above,
a similar festive program
was carried out. There Hen-
ry Pavlicek delivered the
greeting and presented the
class gift. All in all, it was
a day long to be remember-
ed.
Well Attended
The Farmers’ League meet
ing at Damon last Wednes-
day night was well attended,
and 14 new members were
added to the growing mem-
bership list. To avoid con-
flicts and so that all may
know, meeting dates for the
four locals here have been
arranged as follows: All
meetings to be on Wednes-
day beginning at 8 p.m., first
Wednesday in the month at
Beasley, second at Rosen-
berg, third at Needville and
fourth at Damon.
