The State tax rate was fixed at 69c (Ferguson had
highest in history, 77c).
Confederate Pensions are $25 monthly (under -Fer-
guson $11 approximately).
The prison system is turning back to the treasury
$500,000 with 5-cent cotton (Ferguson had a deficit
of $1,882,000 with 20-cent cotton).
Governor Sterling has effected substantial savings
in every department under his control and has aided
in the investigation of fees charged by county of-
ficials, which resulted in a tremendous saving and
conviction of several alleged fee grafters.
Rural school aid is $2,500,000 per year (Ferguson,
$1,500,000).
Part of the tax burden was shifted from the home
and farm owner through the enactment of the cig-
aret and cement tax laws and the incerase in the
sulphur tax.

He declared martial law in East Texas to restore
order and enforce conservation laws, resulting in
a tremendous increase in the revenues of the land
and royalty owner and great benefit to the people
over all the State through greater oil tax collections.
His action to permit the State to drill for oil in the
Sabine River bed is estimated to be worth $3,500,000
to the State treasury.
AND ALSO
Governor Sterling proposes drastic reduction in !
country road bond taxes where the money was spent !
on State highways.
As chairman of the Highway Commission and Gov- I
ernor, Mr. Stealing has built more roads in 5V4
years than were built in the 20 years preceding.
He proposes to keep the State on a sound financial <
basis as he has done in the past.

The voters of Lamar County are going to elect a
Representative on August 27, (Saturday) 1932.
Think before you vote, whom you choose to re-
present you, whether he is going to be a person who
has an idea of what will be beneficial to the tax payers,
or whether he is going to be a person who is seeking to
use the Representatives* office as a stopping stone only .
to further his own personal interest.
Here is what I fayor for the benefit of the peo-
ple, and what I have advocated during my campaign:
Consolidation and elimination of unnecessary of-
fices and office holders in both county and state.
Re-Districting the state and elect fewer Repre-
■Mtattves.
Abolish the present fee system of pay to officials.
Abolish the present highway patrol in Texas.
Enact a law whereby homeowners and farm own-
ers will have an opportunity to repossess their homes
and farms within two years.
Enact a law that will place taxes on the ones
holding notes or mortgages on your homesteads or
Yams whereby a proportionate tax will be paid as to
I the amount you own, and the balance of taxes to be paid
by the owners of notes or mortgages.
I solicit your vote and influence on these princi-
I pala, as I will at all times work to the best interest of
I the people and for a reduction in expenses so that our
I taxes will be reduced.
You must remember that taxes cannot be reduc-
ed unless expenses are reduced, and you should be able
to know what a person stands for and on what plans he
to going to try to reduce expenses, as it is to your own
persona) interest to know whether he is able to do this
