Eighteen months ago. the may-
or and county judge from El Paso
conferred with the Commissioners
on traffic problems resultant from
that city's status as the third fast-
est - growing city in the U. 0. in
the decade ending In I960
Highway Department told them
it could do nothing unless the peo-
ple of El Paso got busy. They did
— and pased a 515.00o,000 road
construction bond program in Oc-
tober.
When city officials came back to
ask the Highway Commission for
help, it came in a hurry, since
57,500,000 worth of local right-of-
way funds were ready.
AG OPINIONS — Attorney Gen-
eral Carr has ruled that state law
does not authorize a discount for
the taxpayer for early payment of
and absence of competition from the politi-
cal opposition will make it possible for the
Johnson administration to stay square in
the middle of the road or, if it chooses, to
move over to the right a little bit more.
(2) . At the same time, pressure against
further federal growth is organized and ac-
tive. Demand for more tax money at the
local and state level is strong. Good times
tend to emphasize high tax rates and the
cry for relief is loud. In order to bold to-
gether the coalition of business, farm and
labor support which elected him, President
Johnson is very likely to accede to these
pressures. This will mean lower taxes at
the federal level with greater opportunities
to local and state governments to pick up
these monies for use at home.
(3) . World conditions offer no imme-
diate threat to the shaky peace. Let us re-
member that the powerful federal govern-
ment we have today grew from the need
to meet great challenges to our nation.
World Wars 1 and II and the great depres-
sion created the massive federal structure.
Our government appears strong enough
today to meet the challenges we face. There
is nothing on the horizon we can see which
would cause us to need more power at
the federal level than we have today. So
we need not fear new federal growth forced
by external threat to our well-being.
This analysis may be all wet. Armed
with the mandate of the century, President
Jonnson may embark on a wide range of
federal projects which will carry forward
the centralization of government and con-
tinue to enlarge the burden of our taxes
and public debt.
But this was not the program on which
he was elected. This is not what the people
have Indicated they want. And this is not
the way to keep the House of Represents--
tives Democratic in 1966 or to keep the
White House Democratic in 1968.
Conservative winds continue to blow.
Unless sailor Johnson has changed might-
ily, he’ll take full advantage of them dur-
ing the next four years.

I jut Friday night the largest
crowd ever assembled in Bowie
gathered to witness the Ku Klux
Klan parade that was advertised
to take place on the streets of Bo-
wie that night. The speaker of Ft.
Worth gave us some interesting
information regarding the Ku Kl-
ux Klan. He spoke for over an
hour after which the Klansmen
made their parade.
From An Ad
If you like to trade in the kind
of a store like the kind of a store
you like. You need not pack your
clothes in a grip and start on a
Irng, long hike; There are clothes
to be had that will suit every fad
in quantity galore, at the best
store in town so just call, around
at Brite’s Dry Goods Store.
America will move in more conserva-
tive directions for the next four years.
Does this seem a contradictory pre-
diction? Didn’t ths Republicans warn that
• votefor the Democrats was S \jpte for
Socialism? Yes, indeed they did. But con-
servatism in the United States has been a
growing force for the past 10 years and
will, in my opinion, keep right on growing
until and unless our economy takes a ser-
ious down turn.
Sunday was Open House at the new
Jacksboro High School and it’s a shame
everyone in Bowie couldn’t have been
there: it would have made us proud of the
vote we cast to build a new high school
for Bowie.
The Jacksboro high school has an un-
usual, circular design which is as pleasing
to the eye as it is functional. The “aye”
of the circle is a large, perfectly lighted,
library. Hallways circle this one big room
and the classrooms, office space, etc., form
the outer ring.
Outstanding features are:
Year ’round weather conditioning.
High, narrow windows that let in
plenty of light without any heat or glare.
Exceptionally good lighting in all
rooms.

As Pres. Johnson Relaxes
While it is true that Barry Goldwater’s
particular brand of ultra-conservatism was
decisively defeated Tuesday, it is also true
that the victors in the contest offere^ very
little in the way of a program which could
justify the label of “socialism "
Only the Medicare plank, a hold-over
from the Kennedy administration, fits the
label, if, indeed, it does.
Three factors lead me to predict that
the moderate conservatives will be the do-
minant voice in the administration and in
congress:
(1). There is no pressure for big, new
federal programs. In past adfninistrationa
the Republican leadership has appeared al-
most as eager to solve problems at the
federal level as have the Democrats. With
both parties competing against each other
for votes through federal largess, growth
of federal programs was inevitable. This
competitive factor has disappeared. The
Republicans are, for the time being, led
by those who want to cut back present
programs and who, presumably, will take
no initiative to add new ones.
Political pressure for federal expansion
Is thus nill.
Times are good, so there is little pres-
sure from the people at large. There re-
main pockets of poverty to be attacked and
some specific problems, like the mushroom-
ing cost of higher education and medical
care, may result in small federal programs
but economic demands for major federal
action simply do not exist.
Absence of pressure from th< economy

AUSTIN, Tex. — This city once
again became the seat of the exe-
cutive branch of the federal gov-
ernment as President Johnson
moved back to his home grounds
for an expected prolonged post-
election stay.
The President preferred to vote
in person at his old box in Johnson
City, rather than cast an absentee
ballot.
An elabor ate communications
network was prepared for the
election day party here. Hundreds
of national press, radio and tele-
vision representatives accompani;
ed Johnson to Texas Monday
night.
Major developments are antici-
pated at the vacation White House
during days immediately follow-
ing counting of the votes.
The president, while resting up
from the campaign, undoubtedly
will be formulating his plans for
the future and staying abreast of
national and international deve-
lopments at this important period.
He is scheduled to entertain at
least one distinguished visitor at
the LBJ Ranch. Mexico’s Presi-
dent - elect Gustavo Dias Ordaz
will visit him November 12 - 13,
according to early reports.
Most observers predict the
President will remain at least un-
til mid - November, possibly long-
er.
COURTS SPEAK — Court of
Criminal Appeals criticized state
courts of inquiry but declined to
declare unconstitutional the law
authorizing such procedures.
Issue came before the court in
the appeal of Pasadena Attorney
N A. Smith who claimed his consti-
tutional rights were violated in a
of inquiry into Pasadena city fi-
ances. Judges ordered Smith
treed of contempt of court charges
arising from Ms refusal to testify
at a court of inquiry held on June
2.
Court of Criminal Appeals also
ordered a new trial for Arthur
Geter on marijuana charges 1 n
Barrie County, citing a new U. S.
lupreme Court decision that legal
representation in trials is a con-
stitutional right. Geter began '
aarving a life term in 1962.
