“JAUNTY JIMMIE"
Political campaigns must have slo-
gans. One opponent has tagged the
present governor "Jaunty Jimmie."
Such an appelation is not entirely
without merit. It takes a jaunty spirit
and an inexhaustable store of energy
to get the things done that Allred ac-
complishes. He wears down those ar-
ound him to a nub, while he himself
keeps up with an unbelievable drive.
He receives and answers more mail
than any Governor of Texas ever did.
He secs more people than any Gover-
nor in recent times. A famed Washing-
ton newspaper correspondent recently
told a Texan that the Texas Governor
worked harder and longer than did the
President himself.
A review of the record of Jaunty
Jimmie convinces thinking Texans that
his accomplishments have exceeded
those of any Governor this State has
had in two decades. He proposes to
pay the old people with cash instead
of promises.
Damagoguery won't help the old peo-
ple. It will take the cash and that's
what Jaunty Texas Governor who is
a credit to the State, particularly in
this Centennial year, proposes to give
grandma and grandpa.
Texas could use more kindred jaun-
ty spirits, such as Allred in public life.
At the same time, we can see no
point at all in calling forth the stumb-
ling, grasping, groping, feeble servic-
es of such as may be typified by
“Three-Time Tottering Tom.”

AUSTIN, Texas.—Difficult though
the task is in a state the size of Tex-
as, regulation of the !i<|uor industry
brought in gross revenue amounting
to almost 52,500,000 during the five
months since the Liquor Control
Board began operating last Nov. 15.
"The hoard has encountered many
problems of administration and enforce-
ment that other license-system states,
which are smaller may not have been
troubled with,” said Administrator
Charles R. Miller. "Experiences of ot-
her states have been a benefit, of
course, but there are some phases of
liquor control peculiar to Texas which
the board lias bad to work out by it-
self, through trial and error. If mis-
takes have been made, they are the
mistakes natural to any sort of pion-
eering.”
Actual gross revenue collected un-
der the Liquor Control act. Adminis-
trator Miller revealed, was $2,401,851.37
a figure including all permit fees and
excise taxes. This does not take into
consideration, however, the approxi-
mately ?25,000 paid in fines from crim-
inal cases, which goes to the counties
where the cases are disposed of, he
pointed out.
Nearly $100,000 of the gross revenue
coming from beer licenses is assigned
to the state's general fund, but three-
fourths of the balance is earmarked for
the old-age pension funds and the
schools, after expenses are deducted.
"Of first importance in this work,
Miller declared, “is fair but firm en-
forcement of the law. When that is
attained, with the assistance of local
officers and the endorsement of the
public, then maximum collection of re-
venues will follow, benefitting both the
old-age pensioners and the schools. It
is thought that is uppermost in the
minds of those men connected with
liquor regulation.”
Besides bulging revenues, Miller
reported the enforcement campaign
had been speeded up with definitely
successful results. Already on record
were 709 criminal cases against liquor
law violators, with many others filed
but not yet reported by inspectors in
the field. Of 328 cases disposed of, 8
resulted in jail terms and only nine
ended in acquittials.
The administrators said the law-ab-
iding public was increasingly giving
its approval to the state's efforts to-
ward stricter enforcement, especially in
the larger centers of population where
the campaigns have been widely pub-
licized in the local press.
“When the people come to recog-
nize definitely and finally that success
of the liquor control act—and by the
same token the success of the old-age
pension system—depends to a large ex-
tent upon themselves, our job will be
more than half done," Miller predict
ductions from pay check, except for
union dues. Elimination of child labor.
Restrictions on company houses or
stores having the effect of lessening
the woraers real wage. Guarantee of
collective bargening. Issuance of la-
bels by the commission to be used vol-
untarily by manufacturers. Prohibition
of unfair trade practices, including un-
fair advertising, commercial bribery,
inducing breach of contract, and ot-
her basic practices. It would appear
that if business does not make chan-
ges designed to bring about better liv-
ing conditions in the separate industry,
that pressure will be brought on Con-
gress to do so for each industry. It
is more than likely that the Textile
Industry is behind this bill, believing
that the fine and imprisonment penal-
ty sure to be included in the bill, will
compell all manufacturers to be good,
and take the industry out from un-
der the fear of cutthroat competition,
as far as it is possible to do so. Tex-
ans interested in promoting the manu-
facture of textiles in Texas at the seat
jf the raw materials, will be inter-
ested to know that there is a propo-
sal to amend the present bill so as to
permit the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to make loans to textile
manufacturers for purchasing new
machinery and for establishing their
iwn markets. This proposal is bas-
jd on the belief of some of the mem-
bers of the sub-committee in charge
jf the bill that the law should be such
as will tend to rehabilitate the tex-
lile industry. Affecting the manufac-
turers, and growers, as well as the re-
tailers of the country, no doubt this
bill will be considered carefully
a great number of Texans, as to its
merits and demerits. In the case of
its passage, lagging Texas textile
business might desire to see it so am-
ended as to permit the R.F.C. loans.
Manufacturers may see in it an oppor-
tunity for a price stabulization, and re
