SBnds removed from the ranks of the unemployed were
being continued in their jobs, thereby creating an ab-
solutely new purchasing element in every community.
■
Certain phases of the National Recovery Administra-
tion's buying campaign merit careful consideration.
The President said in his statement of June 16, when
he signed the Recovery Act, that the long-dormant buying
power must be brought into line with increased cost of
production. But he wisely withheld advice to the people
as to when to start supplying their prudent needs until
>re was ample and unmistakable justification. He wait-
juntil he was convinced that the many hundreds of thou-
being continued in their jobs, thereby creating
~ ‘ ‘ '___ -J <_____ ________________
These recusciated citizens finally have been enabled to
qualify as consumers.
And other hundreds of thousands were removed from
part-time to full-time employment. Thousands of factories
all over the land continued to acquire stocks of raw mater-
ials in July, August, and September in a manner which
showed that the upturn was sustained by forward orders
from wholesalers who, in their turn, reflected what they
St last recognized as a genuine restoration of public con-
nce in their respective regions.
Banking and industrial statistics show that the re-
irption of 3,000,000 workers, based on minimum wages
rided by NRA, which apply only to what is termed
nmon labor," of itself creates a buying power in this
itry of several billions per year. That impetus in trade,
jh did not exist 4 months ago, would push up prices,
lout considering the logical incentive of employers to
r their increased costs of operation.
Another salient feature of this campaign is its name,
w is the time to buy." The people, upon whose intelli-
e the President depends for its success, should accept
gt support it for what it is—a considerate valuable
nder of our duty to ourselves and to each other.

What is believed by The News to be one of the most
important steps for the advancement of the civic, business
and industrial welfare of Nocona has been taken by the
merchants and executives of the town. There has been
organized, with ample financial backing, a Chamber of
Commerce, which will in a week or two be hard at its task
looking after the city’s interests.
Some twenty-five firms and individuals have contract-
ed to pay $10.00 per month for one year if that much is
needed, and they are to be congratulated. This is concrete
evidence that we are "sold” on Nocona, we liave faith in
our future and possibilities, which are fundamental re-
quisites for progress which never fail to produce results.
At a recent meeting, one of the directors suggested
a slogan, which, although not formally adopted, it ex-'
presses the sentiments of our citizenry. It was “GET
ACTION.” And nothing short of that will satisfy the
fifteen directors who have the destiny of the organization
in their hands.
It is the duty of every business, however small, every
clerk and worker in our city to lend his support to the
Chamber of Commerce which will fight the battles for
everyone who lives in Nocona. They will be given an op-
portunity to join and contribute according to their means
at an early date, and employers have a right to expect
everyone on the pay roll to "do his part.”
There will be kickers and gripers when the C. of C.
begins its work. There always are. But let’s smother the
selfish bickering under a wave of enthusiasm for good of
the town as a whole. There’s no good reason why Nocona
should not have a population of 4000 or 4500 in a
years if her advantages are broadcast to the world.
“GET ACTION.”
It cost every one of Texas’ 5,947,000 residents $11.44
per capita, based on an estimated population for 1932, to
maintain and operate the various departments, including
interest and outlays for permanent improvements for the
fiscal year ending August 31, 1932, total State expendi-
tures being $100,822,847. These figures were compiled by
the Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce.
Money allotted for educational purposes and for minor
civil departments of State amounted to $28,820,034; inte-
rest on debt totalled $18,976; outlay for permanent im-
provements $32,778,510 and operation and maintainense of
general department of State $68,028,361. State highways
cost Texas $39,269,080 of which $10,716,123 went for
maintance and $28,552,957 for construction.
Texas was one of’the few States in which revenues
exceeded expenditures, total receipts being $101,795,009
or $17.12 per capita, this exceeding the total outlay by
$33,750,672. The excess of revenue is reflected in the
purchase of investments and increased cash balances not
carried in these statistics. Property and special taxes re-
presented 28.2 per cent of the total revenue for 1932 the
per capita collections being $4.83.
Earnings of the general departments, or compensation
for service rendered by State officials accounted for 3.6
per cent of the total revenue, with business and special
licenses supplying 44.5 per cent. Receipts from business
licenses consisted chiefly of taxes exacted from insurance
and other incorporated companies of occupation taxes,
cigarette tax and sales tax of gasoline. The gasoline tax
brought in $28,213,021, a decrease of 6.6 from the pre-
ceding year.
The total funded or fixed debt outstanding August 31,
was $7,583,200. The net indebtedness (funded or fixed
debt less sinking fund) was $7,860,756 or $1.27 per capita.
The assessed valuation of property in Texas subject totaled
valorem taxation was $3,962,841,346, the amount of State
taxes levied was $27,843,605 and the per capita levy $4.60.
This was a decrease over the per capita levy of 1931 but
an increase over the 1917 per capita levy of $3.86.

No organization, whether it be a
literary, service or purely recrea-
tion club can amount to much un-
less It has certain goals and ob-
jectives toward which to work. The
