It appears from the research
done that cancer “ does not
start unless there is an irrita-

which are inherited from par-
source will naturally increase.
At a time when federal,
state and local governments
are continually seeking means
of raising additional revenues.
It will not be, good if Texas
is swept by Secretary Wal-
lace’s program of slaughtering
hogs, as a moment’s reflection
will show. Texa has hundreds
and thousands of farms with-
out a single hog on them. We
are deficient in hog raising and
have been so from the begin-
ning. The State normally im-
ports millions of pounds . of
pork products, despite the fact
that we have a healthy pack-
ing industry in this State.
This is to say "frothing

general. The point is that in

struction of surplus, Texas is
the State .in which to plow up
TAX GUESS TOO LOW
Generally when a new tax
is passed the estimates of the
amount of revenue to be de-
rived are too high. A striking
exception to this is seen in the
amount of revenue derived
from the sale of 3.2 per cent
beer, since it Was declared
legal by Congress on April 7.
At that time government
officials predicted that the
beer tax would yield between
$100,000,000 and $125,000,-
000 to the national treasury in
a year. But figures made pub-
lic by the Treasury Depart-
ment a few days ago show
that in the 15 weeks between
April 7 and July 31, the federal
Government had received $54,-
119,739 in heeto taxes, or ap-
proximately one-half of what
was expected in a full year.
