Faced with a decisive defeat of one
of their bills, the Leonard bill to raise
the truck load limit to 20,000 pounds,
the board of directors of the Texas
Motor Transport association, which
group has backed the fight for the
trucks, this last week went on record
continue the fight against the
7000-pound law without compromise
or abatement. Senator Rogers Kelly
of Edinburg secured approval by the
Senate highway committee, 9 to 6, of
his bill allowing the highway depart-
ment to issue special licenses to
parks^jvith it instead of carrying a
lot of unnecessary supervisors and
tick inspectors on our .rolls at great
cost to the state?” he asks.

Officials of the State Livestock
Sanitary Commission were in Austin
this week from theii’ headquarters in
Fort Worth in support of their plea
for an emergency appropriation of
$107,000. Records show this depart-
ment was allowed $635,484 by the
45th Legislature and an additional
sum of $376,865 at the last special
session, making $1,012,349 for the
two year period, yet they seek $107,-
000 more to carry them until next
September 1st. Representatives Al-
bert Derden of Marlin and Alsup of
Panola are fighting against this em-
ergency appropriation, both pointing
out that the federal government re-
cently allocated $324,000 to Texas
for the same work—tick eradication.
Representative Derden charges that
Chairman L. J. Wardlaw of the com-
mission draws $3000 salary and, be-
ing an attorney, cannot possibly
qualify as the right man for the job;
also, that Wardlaw’s private secre-
tary (who works in his legal firm and
not in the commission’s office) draws
$1500 yearly of state funds. In oth-
er words, Representative Derden’s
contention is that the livestock sani-
tary commission’s program is costing
the state millions when it could be
administered by the
vestigating lobbying activities at the I necessary that parity payments
Capitol, and it is reported from an '
unimpeachable source that some of
the lobbyists were so bold they even
approached some members of this
grand jury individually in an attempt
to learn “if they meant business”. On
the other hand, there are many legit-
imate lobbyists who deal in a fair
and just manner, so this is not an in-
dictment against all of them. For
instance, Chairman Ely Thornton of
the appropriations committee reveal-
ed a day or so ago that “everytime I
open my files, I see a certain teach-
ers college president at my elbow”!
Believe it or not!
One of the most badly needed
pieces of legislation now facing this
legislature is an effective law to curb
the invidious loan shark racket in
Texas. Small towns are not yet in-
fested with these buzzards as much
as the cities where they prey on the
laboring man and the small salary
men and women. Representative
Mason D. Harrell of Bastrop is auth-
or of a bill that seeks to limit the in-
terest rate within the legal 10 per
cent, with certain service charges al-
lowed. A bill by Representative
Homer Leonard is along the same
line. A compromise measure is ex-
pected to come out of the subcom-
mittee this week. The Better Busi-
ness Bureau of Dallas reports that
50,000 persons in Dallas alone are in
the grips of these up-stairs loan
sharks who charge all the way from
40 to 200 per cent interest. A law is
needed to put these leeches under the
State banking department, it is point-
ed out by supporters. Victims of
these loan sharks should write their
representatives now to support one
of these bills.

This young lady and her pure-bred
companion were photographed while
attending ground-breaking ceremon-
ies for the “Dairy World of Tomor-
row” on the World’s Fair grounds at
New York.
The “Dairy World of Tomorrow”
is to be one of the striking exhibits
at the 1939 Fair. Here 150 dairy cows,
each a queen on the basis of her type
and performance, will be on exhibit.
These cows will be selected by the
Breed Association representing the
following breeds. Jerseys, Guernseys,
Holstein - Friesians, Brown - Swiss,
and Ayrshires. These cows will be
milked three times daily on a rotolac-
tor equipped with magnetic milkers—
giving the public a chance to observe
the most modern methods in hand-
ling milk. In addition to the cows
mentioned, calves and a bull of each
breed will be on display.
The “Dairy World of Tomorrow”
is being staged by the five breed as-
sociations mentioned above in co-
operation with The Borden Com-
pany for the purpose of showing the
place of the pure-bred cow in the
economics of dairying.
Already the dairy barn is built;
some of the cattle selected, and defi-
nite plans have been made for taking
150 of the finest dairy cattle of North
America to the New York World’s
Fair. In the above picture is shown
the ground-breaking party that
started the project on its way. The
calves came to represent the five
dairy breeds which will participate
ind from left to right they are Guern-
sey, Jersey, Brown-Swiss, Holstein,
and Ayrshire.
The folks with them are: (Left to

selves for a fight to the finish to
see that the old folks in Texas get
justice from that Old-Age set-up,
now dominated by hold-over politic-
ians of the liquor-drinking, poker-
playing crowd. More on this next
week.

last week when they
night, their vote fox* the proposed in-
come tax amendment by Leighton
Cornett of Red River County. The
overnight switch brought about de-
feat of the income tax resolution af-
ter it had been passed on Wednesday.
Governor O’Daniel’s influence was
said to have been the deciding fac-
tor! One member of the House was
seen to carry four different groups of
his fellow members into the gover-
nor’s office Wednesday afternoon!
Yes, the fighting over the pension
tax measures gets hotter day by day
The 66-day rule became effective on
Monday of this week when it is no
longer necessary to have a two-thirds
majority, or 100 votes. Parliamen-
tary maneuvering is the order of the
day from now on. And it is really
an interesting fight. But the great
majority of the members want to pro-
vide revenue for the old folks, for de-
pendent children, the adult blind and
for the teacher retirement act. The
transaction tax, as advocated by the
governor, is far from dead, as it will
be offered this week as an amend-
ment. Neither is the income tax
amendment exactly dead.

4. The American farmer is entitled
to a fair share of the national in-
come and to an American price foi
the domestically consumed portion
of his crop in order to give agricul-
ture equality with protected industry.
I To bring this about we recommend
loans, parity payments, and crop
surance.
It is recommended that loans
made at a rate which takes into
count the world market so as
avoid accumulation of a burdensome
supplies within the United States.
It is not anticipated that loans and
conservation payments will enable
the grower to achieve parity income
at all times. Therefore, it will be

[provided in years of low prices. It is
recommended that in order to provide
sufficient funds for parity, a process-
ing tax be levied so that the commod-
ity will pay its own way.
Crop insurance will provide again-
st the risk of unfavorable seasons
and will provide for the producer a
more uniform source of income from
year to year. It is recommended
that procedure be worked out to per-
mit assignment to the Federal Crop
Insurance Corporation of 1939 Agri-
cultural Conservation Program pay-
ments to pay 1939 crop insurance pol-
icy premiums. It is further recom-
mended that wheat delivered to elig-
ible growers as indemnity under crop
insurance policies should be eligible
for wheat loans.
5. It is recommended that faulty
distribution be corrected by means of
freight rate adjustments and surplus
■ purchases for relief. The wheat
growers heartily endorse those pro-
visions of the Agricultural Adjust-
ment Act of 1938 which give the Sec-
retary of Agriculture the power to
.intervene in rate hearing cases and
recommend that a thorough study of
the freight rate structure be made in
the wheat producing areas. It is also
recommended that surplus purchases
for relief distribution be continued
only in times of emergency as at pre-
sent.
6. It is recommended that the farms
on which the normal production of
the planted acres is fess than 200
bushels of wheat be exempt from
marketing quota provisions instead of
the 100 bushel exemption as now pro-
vided and that this be considered as
a more satisfactory approach to the
problem of the non-commercial‘ wheat
producer than the designation of a
commercial wheat growing area.

ZEKE SEZ
(By Nugent Ezekial Brown)
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration today made public the
following text of
I submitted to R. M. Evans. Adminis-
trator of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, by a conference of
wheat farmers which met January 26,
27 and 28 in Washington at the in-
vitation of the AAA:
Dear Mr. Evans:
In accordance with the invitation
of the Department of Agriculture,
wheat growlers representing all the
major wheat producing States have
met in Washington and have consid-
ered the problems confronting ths
growers of the Nation.
The approach to the wheat problem
involves changing the use f surplus
acres, increasing the income of wheat
growers, correcting faulty di^tribut- ,
ion, conserving the soil, and safe-
guarding the consumer against scar-
city. The Agricultural Adjustment
Act of 1938 contains a sound ap-
proach toward the sat’sfactory solu-
tion of this problem.
1. I4 is recommended that the pro-
gram adopted for 1939 un- er this Act
be carried out with a m'nimum of
change.
2. It is recommended that acreage
allotments be the tool to be used in
solving the surplus problem. In the
. use of this tool, it will be necessary
’ to shift a total of 30 million acres
. from soil-depleting to soil-conserving
uses. In making this shift a wheat
acreage allotment between 55 and 62
million acres will be necessary, de-
pending upon the supplies and mar-
keting outlets. Conservation pay-
ments should be continued as a com-
pensation to growers who shift the
use of their land from wheat to soil-
conserving purposes. Special atten-
tion should be given to a long-time
rotation of this land to perennial
permanent grasses with ample pro-
tection against loss of conservation
benefits.
3. It is recommended that the prob-
lem of surplus production be met by
means of the Ever-Normal Granary,
export subsidies, and marketing quo-
tas. The principle of the Ever-Nor-
mal Granary assures protection to
the consumer against scarcity and
high prices and protection to the pro-
ducer against abnormal surpluses
and low prices. Export subsidies
should be used to maintain our fair
share ef the foreign market as long
as other nations are using the same
means. Marketing quotas should be
used only as a last resort in years of
abnormal surpluses to avoid the pos-
sibility of a collapse in our wheat
