“Working
Dollars”
College Station - "Working
Dollars" best describes the
money Texans are investing in
research conducted by the Tex-
as ,
tion.
For example, a single acc-
omplishment at a field station
near Stephenville in 1962 re-
turns more i
economy each year than has
been spent for all research pro-
jects at that station since it
was established 28 years ago.
That year, the Starr variety
of peanut was released to grow-
ers and it immediately boos-
ted annual farm income by
some $5 million.
The Texas Agricultural Ex-
periment Station, founded in
1888, is administered by the
College of Agriculture at
Texas A GM University and op-
erates as the public agency for
scientific research in agricul-
ture. Findings of the Station
are brought to the public pri-
marily through educational

The notion that lawmen should just stand there and let the law-
breakers shoot first is nonsense. We’ve been brainwashed by a gen-
eration of fiction writers.
The fact is that our wild West was tamed the first time by law-
men who shot first.
When Chicago Mayor Richard Daley recently issued a directive
to his police to shoot to kill arsonists and shoot to cripple looters
he aroused a wail of righteous indignation.
"Inhuman, " the sob-sisters bleated. "Immoral, " some clergy-
men protested. "Un-American!" cried the professional protestors.
The critics don’t know what they're talking about.
Coincidentally, I visited ---
Tombstone, Ariz., and Dodge
City, Kan., within the week
that Mayor Daley stuck his
neck out. I had an opportunity
to cull the old files of the
Tombstone Epitaph and the
morgue of the Dodge City
Globe and research how their
early law enforcers enforced
the law.
No place in those complete
archive? do I find any referen-
ce to the "fast-draw" or the
"who-drew-first" controversy
of television fiction.
Let me tell you how the West
. was really won.
A generation ago, when Dod-
ge City was the rail head for
the cattle drives, no place was
wilder, rougher or wickeder.
Today there are few places
quieter, tamer, gentler or more law-abiding, with much less per-
capita crime than our national average. How come ?
The lawless and the unlovely, the anything-for-a-buck buffalo
hunters and the naughty ladies of the Long Branch saloon--the drun-
ken cowpokes and renegade soldiers and professional outlaws—were
tamed by tough cops.
1116 names of Dodge City’s crisis years lawmen became legend
while they lived and remain enshrined today in the grateful city
which they broke to harness: Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson.
Even today a lawman in their image, Marshall Ken House, in a
rolled-brim Stetson and wearing two six-guns, patrols the now quiet
streets of Dodge City—streets named for Masterson and Earp and D
Doc Holliday.
Thirty-two churches in that city of 15, 000 helped the good peo-
ple keep faith, but the bad guys didn't go to church. They were dis-
ciplined by law guns with a soft trigger and by the hangman's tree
in Horse- Thief Canyon.
Those days, when the marshall was tipped to a bank robbery, he
was waiting for the bank robbers when they came out. There was no
"who-draws-first" dilemma. The lawman, usually from behind
something, shot the bank robbers dead—then, perhaps, he advised
them of their "rights".
The practice distressed some gentle people but it discouraged
Dodge City has preserved its past in a museum on Boot Hill. In
that mirror you can see that the "good old days" were not really.
You come away mightily appreciative for these good new davs. for
the modern city out there in the sunlight, the tree-lined streets
where carefree children play and gentlewomen walk unmolested
and you remember it was iron men with tin badges and drawn guns
tired with an annual retirement who taught manners to the ill-mannered--and can again,
income of 25-hundred-dollars
three years ago have lost more
than 200 dollars of that annual
income to inflation.
This inflation is perpetrating
the greatest dollar robbery in
the history of the world. It's
picking the pockets of every
American, cheating workers,
looting the Lhrifty and penaliz-
ing the poor and elderly. ■
This fiscal insanity permitted '
by the federal government is
the very worst tiling a govern-
ment ban do to its people—it
is destruction of the buying pow- «
er of the people's money.
It's obvious to me, then, that
our number one national task
today is the saving of the doll-
ar. Unless we can maintain a
solvent society our society will
be neither secure nor great.
What's basically wrong? it's
federal deficits. They are just
out of hand. We face a 20- g
Billion-dollar debt this fiscal
year. Next year it will be at
least 10-Billion more. In five
years it is 50- Billion. The to-
tal indebtedness of our nation
now is more than 352-Billion
dollars.
That's our debt, It's growing
by leaps and bounds. We keep
spending abroad more than we
can earn abroad. Our interest
rates are marked up to the
highest levels since the Depre-
ssion.
And unnecessary federal spen-
ding goes on and on. Congress
was actually asked in this
year's budget to spend 60 thou-
sand-dollars to study Blackbird
Social Organization.
Instead of the habits of black-
birds, we'd better devote atten-
tion to federal banking pract- J
ices.
The severe nature of this in-
flationary dollar crisis has led
the Senate—with my concurr-
ing vote—to pass a 10-percent
income-tax surcharge coupled
with a six-Billion-dollar cut
in federal spending.

Most Americans are currently aware that our federal government
is in a serious fiscal crisis.
We've had a federal fiscal crisis for years. You've heard me tal-
king about the need for restored fiscal sanity for a long time now.
I made some strong recommendations about it in 1966. You and I
worried about it considerably in 1967. And, now in 1968 the alarms m°st4WO^.d2,3K banl< robbeJrs.’
are again being sounded about the instability of the dollar; about
the imbalance of American
Agricultural Experiment Sta- national bank accounts; and
about continuing Administra-
tion unwillingness to do any-
thing.
What's at stake here is quite
money to the state's simply the future worth of our
dollar.
Mr. William McChesney Mar-
tin---who's chairman of our
Federal Reserve System, and
essentially our top federal ban-
ker---calls the current situa-
tion the "worst financial crisis
since 1931. " I think he knows
what he's talking about.
Each Texan who spends doll-
ars can understand what infla-
tion is doing to us.
It has made our dollar of three
years ago worth only 92-cents.
It has made our ten-dollar bill
lose nearly a dollar in pur-
chasing power in those same
three years. It means that if a
Texas family had 500 dollars
in savings three years ago and
