Mr. and Mrs. Gene Crane and
two daughters of Corpus Christi,
stopped over night Saturday with
her grandmother, Mrs. W. J.

election, but it would be awfully
hard to find many men who could
qualify for this type of control.
There are lots of good argu-
ments for electing county offi-
cials for four years instead of
two, but eliminating their worry-
ing over getting re-elected ain’t
one of em.
It’ll be all right with me if we
elect em for four years, but I
* r one-fourth of em
ought to be elected at a time, so
we could have elections every
summer, not just every fourth
summer. Enough fun has been
eliminated in life as it,is without
eliminating the fun of voting in
county politics no oftener than
once .every four years. Life is
based on the promise of a better
tomorrow and you cut all elec-
tions in half and you slice the
number of promises in two and
where does that leave you?
Yours faithfully, A. A.

For Four Years is Very Good Idea
Editor’s note: Achin Al-
corn, philosopher, on his
Johnson grass farm on Sul-
phur, is off on the subject of
worry again this week, a top-
ic he knows very little about.
Dear Editar: I’m about as close
to being a Constitutional author-
ity as I am to being a loan shark,
but J was interested in reading
about oqe of the proposed Con-, .
stitution amendments Texans are | __ *”17x
gonna vote on in November.
I wasn’t so much interested in
the amendment itself as the rea-
sons some people are advancing
for passing it. This amendment
is the one which would allow
county officials to serve four
years instead of two, and the ar-
guments for it are that under the
present system of serving two
years and having to run again
for reelection, an office-holder no
more than gets in than he has to
turn around and start worryin
about getting elected again. This
they sav cuts down oh his effi- j 1> 1 ■ M I? TP
ciency. DankniDl Il.Ei.l.
Elect em for four years and ‘
they’d have to worry less about
the next election and could be
freer to devote more time to the
duties of the office, the argument
goes.
I do not believe this argument
t-' es into consideration much
h man nature, as I have not yet
sc in an office-holder who, re-
gardless of how long his term
was, two years or four years,
wasn’t immediately aware as
soon as he got in that there was
another election coming up and
he’d better sail his ship with the
prevailing winds in mind, and
sailing a ship and keeping your
ears to the ground at the same
time has always been a delicate
job.
In fact, the only way I know
to produce a worry-free office-
holder is to elect him for life, but
while that would free him from
worry, it would multiply the
public’s, and when it comes down
to a choice of whether you’d ra-
ther have the worrying done by
office-holders or the public, I
guess you know where the ma-
jority lies.
Of course, we might vote a
Constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting office-holders from giv-
ing a single thought to their fu-
ture until 30 days before the
