Cotton Houses
Seen For South
In Near Future
Houses built from cotton are a
dream which may come true on a
large scale in the not far-distant
future, the National Cotton Coun-
cil revealed today in reviewing ex-
perimental work conducted with
cotton building fabrics.
Department of Agriculture ex-
periments in cotton house building
in the South have shown that cot-
ton coverings may be used success-
fully on both interior and ex-
terior walls as well as for roofing.
Experiments are also being made
witli cotton insulation material.
“Cotton construction lends itself
to prefabrication and mass-pro-
Wallnefx duction, it is aesthetically pleas-
waildcc liicaiic ing, and it produces houses of

spokesman reports. "The houses
are also highly fire resistant; and
last, but far from least from the
Southern point of view, cotton
houses could provide an outlet for
a considerable quantity of the
present burdensome surplus. We
can hope to see the day when the
South can be housed in buildings
made of material grown on its
own farms."

Basic data on the extent and
quality of underground water in
Hockley County is contained in
a survey just completed with the
aid of the Work Projects Ad-
ministration, it was announced
in a. publication report issued to-
day by the Texas State Board of
Water Engineers.
This is one of a series of county
publications relating to water
wells in the High Plains of Texas,
compiled by means of WPA pro-
jects under the supervision of the
State Board of Water Engineers,
cooperating with the United Stales
Department of the Interior, Geo-
logical Survey, and The Bureau
of Industrial Chemistry, Univer-
sity of Texas.
The records serve as a guide to
land owners, well drillers, and
others who need information re-
garding wells, the depth to water
in different parts of the. county
and the chemical character of
water yielded by the wells. They
also afford a basis for the more
intensive investigation, now be-
ing carried on in the High Plains
under the direction of Walter N.
White of the Geological Survey.
The Hockley Cbunty release
contains a map showing the lo-
cations of the water wells, records
of 336 water wells, 60 drillers’ logs, J
logs of test wells, and chemical!
analysis of water taken from 180
wells. A part of the Littlefield-
Lubbock irrigation district lies in
the northeast portion of the coun- j
ty and this data will be especially |
interesting to those who reside in !
that portion of the county.
Copies of the Hockley county
j release will be placed in school and j
public libraries as well-Tas in the I
j various county offices in Hock-
j ley County. Mr. C. S. Clark. Chair-
j man of the State Board of Water
[ | Engineers states that a limited
I number of copies are available for
frecT distribution from the Austin
office to interested individuals who j
request them. , i
(Editor’s Note—This is the first
of a series of brief, analytical ar-
ticles on the tqjc programs of the
candidates for Governor, as the
I method of raising revnue to meet
social security and other needs
appears to be the chief issue.)
In his campaign for Governor,
State Highway Commissioner
Harry Hines calls for $15,000,000
In new state taxes.
This sum would be divided: $1,-
500.000 for dependent children,
$400,000 for. needy blind, $3,600,-
000 to match teacher retirement;
and increases as follows: $6,408,-
000 for old age pensions, $1,000,-
000 for eleemosynary institutions,
$250,000 for public health, $350,-
000 for the Department of Public
Safety and $1,500,000 for state
colleges and universities.
To raise the additional $15,000,-
000 called for by his platform,
Hines advocates: An increase of
$12,500,000 in the taxes on oil, gas,
sulphur and other natural re-
sources, and an increase of $2,-
500.000 in franchise taxes on cor-
porations.
Critics say that, while his pro-
gram calls for $15,000,000 in new
taxes for social security and the
other purposes named, he actual-
ly will have to levy new taxes to
the extent of $18,125,000 because
one -fourth of a tax on natural re-
sources must go to the public
schools.
The candidate is not specific as
to what is meant by "other natur-
al resources.” Are there to be new
levies on any or all of the follow-
ing: potash, grave! granite, sil-
ver, coal, marble, timber, salt,
lead, pottery clay, glass sand and
brick sand- all of which are nat-
ural resources—and how much is
such new tax, if any, to be? Nor
does Hines "break down” his $12,-
500.000 increase on natural
source taxes to show how much
per barrel on oil, how much per
thousand cubic feet on gas nor-
how much per ton o.n sulphur the
increases would be.
