probably would have been put on the
pay roll. If a few more were taken
from the state pay rolls, there would
be plenty of money to pay the old-

crease in taxes.

While Governor Allred and many
members of the Senate and House of
Representatives are trying to tell the
good .people why the “nothing-but-
taxes” session failed to pass a tax
bill, only a few have mentioned the
fact that the taxpayers got a break
in the last session of the Legislature.
And it is the first time in many years
that the Legislature met and ad-
journed without putting additional
burdens on the taxpayers.

Newsprint and other products that
are necessary to publish a newspaper
are advancing in prices. All the
daily newspapers have recently ad-
vanced their subscription rates to
take care of part of the increases in
cost of production. The Sun has not
increased its subscription rate, but
may be forced to do so. Our special
subscription rate is still in force. Bet-
ter take advantage of it while you
can get The Sun one whole year for
only one dollar. The regular sub-
scription rate is $1.50 a year. The
special bargain rate may be with-
drawn any day. Do it nbw.

The old people will be glad to
know that the Old-Age Assistance
Commission will decrease the num-
ber of “investigators.” Nearly every
time an investigator called on an old
person something happened to his
old-age assistance. Too much money
has been going to “investigators” and
too little to the old people. Accord-
ing to news reports, the decrease is
being made because the Legislature
failed to pass a tax bill. If a tax bill I the WOrld is said to have cost the life
had been passed, more investigators 1 of a human being.

They say there’s no hope for
tenant farmer in Texas unless
Government pays him for not
ducing cotton and pegs the price for
all his crops and makes land cheap
for him to buy. Archie McNeelley,
three miles south of Italy, doesn’t
agree.
In 1932 he didn’t have a penny or
a job. He did have a good wife and
an insurance policy. The former
gave him inspiration; the latter en-
abled him to get a loan for a 60-acre
farm. The McNeelleys pitched in,
refused to go on relief, raised- cotton
and corn, chickens and turkeys and
sold cream and butter.
The other day McNeelley paid off
his last debt on the farm, is now
sending three children to school, has
money in the "bank for winter ex-
penses and taxes.
He says there’s nothing to it but
hard work, common sense and fru-
gality. Texas needs more like him.—
Dallas Journal.
A partial explanation of the slight
recession in business indices for the
last few weeks may be found in con-
sumer resistance to the long-con-
tinued rise in commodity prices. The
magazine Business Week reports
that two large distributors of wom-
en’s shoes raised prices in the spring
and summer months on the strength
of advancing leather and labor costs
but found it necessary to reduce
prices in August and September. The
reason given for the retreat is that
“the public just wouldn’t buy as
freely on the higher level as on the
lower, particularly in the lower-
price lines.”
A similar situation exists, in vary-
ing degree, in many other lines, from
pork chops to building materials.
Those who have things to sell have
had seemingly valid reasons for con-
tinued price hikes. But when prices
pass some intangible point, they meet
consumer resistance that results in a
decline in sales. Despite the wage
increases that many persons have
had, most consumers have to check
their buying when prices go beyond
reach of their pocketbooks.
The current slight recession in se-
curity and commodity prices does
not necessarily represent the begin-
ning of any serious deflation. It is in
part a reaction to war scares and to
overproduction of certain farm crops.
To the extent that it is an adjust-
ment of prices that had gone unduly
high, it may represent a needed move
toward stabilization at a level that
will be fair to both producers and
consumers. It is not good business to
push prices beyond the point of con-
sumer resistance.—Dallas News.

WASHINGTON, D. C. — Strong
sentiment developed in the House
Agriculture Committee today
controlling the acreage a farmer
plants, but leaving him free to raise
and market as much as he can on this
limited acreage.
Chairman Jones, Texas, reported
the committee “generally under-
stood” benefit payments to farmers
under new legislation asked by Pres-
ident Roosevelt would be made on a
basis of tilled acreage.
Other features on which he said
there was a general accord included
continuation of the present soil con-
servation program, under which ben-
efits are paid producers complying
with prescribed planting practices,
and establishment of “ever-normal”
granary for those crops to which it is
most adaptable.
Acreage Control Stressed
The scheme to place added empha-
sis on controlling acreage in cultiva-
tion was advanced by some com-
mittee members as an effective
means of avoiding controversial pro-
posals for marketing quotas and ac-
companying penalties for non-com-
pliance.; '
Representative Farmer, South
Carolina, head of a subcommittee
writing legislation for cotton, told
reporters on an acreage basis farm-
ers would be permitted to grow and
sell all they could produce, without
restriction, on a fixed amount of the
total tillable acreage.
He recommended cotton farmers
abiding by the acreage limitations be
given soil conservation benefits, a
subsidy of 3 cents a pound on their
product, and perhaps benefits to be
paid from proceeds of a small tax on
the processing or manufacture of
cotton.
“The accumulation of benefits
would be so attractive,” Fulmer as-
serted, “every farmer would want to
come in on the program.”
Favors Dual Price Level
Representative Coffee, Nebraska,
of the subcommittee on wheat, said
he favored a dual price level for
farm products having an exportable
surplus. In the case of wheat he
would have some agency buy up ex-
port supplies at a price sufficiently
high to maintain domestic market
levels and find an outlet for them
abroad at world prices.
This could be done, he said, either
by direct use of public funds or by
assessing an “equalization fee” of a
few cents a bushel on wheat mar-
keted domestically. His plan recalls
the old McNary-Haugen principle of
farm relief, that a commodity served
should pay for the removal of its own
surplus.
Coffee estimated a loss of $20,00(1,-
000 to the Treasury in acquiring
wheat surpluses under such a system
would result in a net gain of $150,-
000,000 for wheat farmers.

DALLAS. — Statistics show that
600,000 persons in Texas have or
have had venereal diseases and that
these scourges are being spread at
the rate of 70,000 cases yearly, Dr.
George W. Cox, State health officer,
said Tuesday at the Texas Public
Health Association convention at the
Hotel Adolphus.
He urged that this information be
broadcast to the public so that in-
formed citizens might rise and de-
mand “proper protection against this
inhuman and unnecessary waste of
humanity.”
Of those now infected and to be-
come infected, reliable statistics show
that about 50 per cent are indigents
or in exceedingly low income groups
for which public aid is necessary if
treatment is to be given, he said.
$500,000 Needed
An appropriation of $500,000 for
State-wide program is needed, he
said.
Texas was pictured as ranking
thirty-eighth among the States in
public health work, having an appro-
priation for the year of only $219,-
000, plus $97,500 for establishment of
twelve district offices, against $400,-
000 for Alabama, which is smaller
than most Texas districts.
“The proposed venereal control
program is more than sound econom-
ically,” he said, “for the money saved
in keeping victims out of insane asy-
lums alone would pay for the work
several times over.”
Between 12 and 14 per
those in insane asylums
known victims of syphilis,
dared.
Of the 70,000 cases he declared are
being spread yearly, he said that
about 24,000 of these are syphilis and
46,000 gonorrhea.
“The Scandinavians reduced a
similar scourge to a fraction of its
former prevalence,” he said. “We can
and must do the same.”
In connection with need for educa-
tion along this line, Dr. W. K. Sharp
of New Orleans, ■ of the United
States Public Health Service, said a
test recently was made by the Amer-
ican Hygiene Association, in which a
young man was sent out to ask 100
strangers what to do for a pretended
case of gonorrhea.
Ignorance in Treatment
Of the 100 approached, twenty told
him just to let it alone, saying it
would cure itself. Twenty-one told
him to go to a druggist and ask for a
remedy. Thirty-two recommended
so-called specialists, who allegedly

POST.—The body of W. F. Cato,
50, former Garza County sheriff for
10 years, was found sprawled on a
bed with a bullet wound through his
heart an instant after a shot was
heard at his home here early Tues-
day, according to Sheriff Jim Power.
Justice of the Peace M. L. Morris
returned a coroner’s verdict of sui-
cide several hours later after an in-
vestigation in which he, the sheriff
and County Attorney Joe Moss par-
ticipated. The sheriff said a pistol
containing one discharged cartridge
was found beside Cato’s hand.
Investigators said they were
formed the former sheriff had been
despondent because of financial re-
verses. He had operated
smith shop in nearby Southland, his
former home, since his defeat for a
sixth consecutive term as sheriff in
1936.
Cato was tried and acquitted in
Federal District Court at Lubbock in
June, 1935, on a charge of murder
growing out of a machine gun slay-
ing of Spencer Stafford, federal nar-
cotic agent operating out of Fort
Worth, at Post on Feb. 7, of that
year.
