CONGRESSMAN
CLARK W. THOMPSON
•th TEXAS DISTRICT
In my newsletter of June first,
I wrote you some thoughts about
the Omnibus Farm Bill, H.R. 6400.
I said, in part: ‘‘Major legislation
is, without exception, the result
of compromise, deliberations,
study , blood, sweat, and tears.”
These have now been expended in
connecton with H. R. 6400; and by
the time this letter reaches you,
the Committee on Agriculture sh-
ould have acted on the result of
our many weeks of exhaustive stu-
dy.
Once again, we turned down the
recommendation that agriculture
should be at the mercy of prices
fixed in the market place. We
still subscribe to the principal
that a farmer’s income should
be on a par with other phases of
our economy.
The Committee demonstrated
very clearly than it has no idea
of giving up any of its legislative
functions. We will continue to
write the bills and to submit them
to the President for signature or
veto as he, in his wisdom, thinks
best. The original bill would have
modified this process to permit the
Secretary of Agriculture, after
consultation with farmer elected
committees, to write a proposed
piece of legislation and submit
it to the Congress where either
House could pass a Resolution
rejecting it. This idea seems to
work very well in the recom-
mendations of the old Hoover Com-
mission, but we didn’t like the
idea of applying it to agriculture
legislation. Now, we will go a-
head pretty much as we have in
the past. Each commodity which
requires legislation will have to
battle out its destinies in separate
measures. It is going to be very
touch because of the shrinking
proportion of rural Repre-
sentatives in the Congress. The
city boys have listened to a ‘ ‘hymn
of hate” directed toward agricul-
ture over the past eight years.
Their city constituents are de-
manding that there be no more
price supports and other financial
aid to farmers. We will do the
best we can, but it won’t be easy.
I wish, more than every, that
Agriculture could present a united
front.
Sincerely yours,
Clark W. Thompson

NOTICE—Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing,

to appear In the columns of The Journal will be corrected gladly if
brought to the attention of the management.
Gentlemen:
We your Finance Committee, advise that we have checked over the I
reports of the Assessor and Collector of Taxes of the City of La I
Grange and examined the tax rolls for the year 1960, and herewith I
submit to your Honorable Body a list of the Delinquent Taxes duel
the City of La Grange, Texas as of June 30. 1961, the names of the I
tax payers and amounts are as follows:
When payment of any of the taxes listed above is made, an additional
penalty of 8% interest must be added.
Respectfully Submitted,
HOW ABOUT A FAIR SHAKE?
Sooner or later, Congress will have to face up to
the need for equitable labor legislation. There’s
a mighty good reason: the public is gagging over
strikes, violence and other abuses of organized
labor’s privileged position under the law.
We heartily recommend that Congress protect
the public interest by using as a guide these five
basic labor relations principles:
Individuals should be guaranteed freedom
to join or not to join a labor union, without
intimidation or coercion from any source.
Monopoly practices, both by employers and
by labor unions, should be prohibited.
Collective bargaining serves the best inter-
ests of those concerned when conducted at
the local level.
The use of force and violence in labor dis-
putes violates individual freedom, and is
against the public interest.
Government intervention in labor disputes
should be restricted to impartial administra-
tion of applicable laws.
