The boys on Capitol Hill who are

Several years ago the Bureau no-
tified members of congress that
they would have to declare and pay
income tax on that part of their
mileage allowance which was not
actually spent on travel. This was
a sad blow to a lot of the boys who
were making a nice thing out of
the 20-cents-a-mile allowance.
New the bureau is seriously con-
sidering geing a step further and
requiring members to report and
pay tax on clerk hire “takes.”
These take various forms.
Some members do the trick by

bushels of whea: in the state. Held
over in farm storage from 1939
were 192,000 bushels, making a total
of 17,492,378 bushels which will be
subject for delivery to the corpora-
tion if not redeemed by the date
the loan matures. The first loans
in/ Texas will mature in February.
April 30 is the final maturity date.
Eligible for resealing are 1,534,227
bushels of wheat under the loan
and stored on farms. Only six bar-
ley loans were made in the state.
The state committee was inform-
ed that the corporation did not
anticipate, insofar as practicable,
selling any of the 1940 crop wheat
that is in good condition - except at
prices not less than loan values
plus charges. A small part of the
wheat can be disposed of by the
Surplus Marketing Administration
in export channels and in relief
distribution. There is also the pos.-
sibili’y the Red Gross may be able
to use small amounts of it. Some
wheat may be sold or transferred
to the Federal Crop Insurance Cor-
poration or to the other government
agencies.

Others require their office workers
to “kick back” part of their sal-
aries. This practice, incidentally, is
a lot more prevalent than is gener-
ally believed, even though, it is a
felony with heavy penalties for
conviction. No congressman, how-
ever, has yet been caught.
Congressmen are allowed a flat
sum of $6,500 a year for clerk hire.
The only string on its expenditure
is that no one employee be paid
more than $3,906. Senators are al-
lowed six employees at salaries

D. W. I. Charges
Any man should be ashamed of being drunk. Such a
condition usually signifies that he has little regard for
the good name of himself, his parents, his wife, his chil-
dren, and his friends.
To drive while intoxicated is an act that should bring
even greater shame upon an individual, for such an activ-
ity clearly implies that he has little thought of the safe-
ty of others. To bring humiliation upon those that love
a person is degrading in itself, but to injure others by
driving while under the influence of liquor is to show a
flagrant disregard for others.
All too frequently are charges of driving while intox-
icated filed against white persons. Usually the person so-
bers up, paying his fine and court costs, thanks the offi-
cers for taking care of him when he was not in a condi-
tion to look after himself, expresses his appreciation to
the judge or considerations granted him and returns to
his home or business.
Too often in Texas the culprit is let off too lightly,
for there are few crimest that are more dangerous in their
implications than is driving while intoxicated. A few pen-
itentary sentences for such offenses probably would re-
sult in a decrease of such violations.
In the days of prohibition, public sentiment was not
sufficiently strong to enable the laws to be endorsed rig-
idly. Today public sentiment against D.W.I. should be so
unanimous that the guilty person’s own brother would
vote to send him to prison.
• ------o------
Today the public schools of Ennis are among the
greatest possessions of this city. Every resident is proud
of the truly democratic educatio that is given each stu-
dent. * w*M
What type of an educational system would Ennis
have if this country should become totalitarian? It would
be such that few would be proud of it. Realizing this
fact, it behooves each Ennisite to so act and work that
democracy may prevail in this country at all times.
Dr. C. A. Nichols, a T'exas educator who is well-known
in Ennis, has written the following article concerning the
relationship of education and totalitarianism:
What changes would take place in American public
schools and in American education if this country should
become totalitarian? In recent years the first steps of
dictators, whether communistic, nazi or facist, have been
to place their hands on the public schools and the univer-
sities. The practices have not been identical in every
country, but the purposes have been the same—the com-
plete conformity of all thinking to the pattern set by the
government.
The actual classroom procedures would not be chang-
ed very greatly so far as forms are concerned. There
would be less freedom of expression both on the part of
teachers and students but discussion would be carried on.
While there would be a verbal respect for truth, the facts
presented and the topics discussed would have to be ap-
proved by representatives of the government. No criti
' eism of the government or of officials would be tolerated.
In public schools teachers are now encouraged to de-
velop individual thought by boys and girls. Under the to-
talitarian scheme the teachers would tell the children
what to think. Only those ideas considered favorable
to the government would be allowed. Uncomfortable facts
would be withheld. Manual training classes would be de-
i voted to making airplanes, tanks, and other minature war
materials. Formal salutes, parades, picture shows would
all be used to impress young people with respect for the
government and a reverence for its leaders.
For those of school age, all youth organizations such
as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Campfire Girls would be
taken over and directed by the government for the pur-
pose of controlling the ideas and attitudes acquired by
young people. Recreation would be provided and many
of the traditionally high ideals of the country would be
combined with new political theory to make it appear
more plausible.
National fear and racial hatred would be aroused and
sustained by varying types of conflicts, broadcasts, organ-
ized exhibits, and magnified reports on everything that
might appeal to the emotions of individuals.
Individual efficiency in skills required, by the govern-
ment would be secured through vocational schools and ac-
tual participation or. apprenticeship. The totalitarian gov-
ernment would train, utilize, and try to make happy the
individuals it needed and persecute, destroy, or banish •
the people it did not like. In a totalitarian goverment the
individual exists for the state. The individual is nothing,
the state is everything.

A witness, testifying before the
house committee investigating mi-
grant labor, related how he, his !
wife and twelve children slept in i
a small tent pitched in a ditch I
along the roadside.
Stocked at the. story, Represen-
tative John Toland, idealistic chair-
man of the committee, remarked
ironically, “And I suppose you had
the latest sanitary conveniences?”
“What’s that?” asked the witness.
Toland explained.
“No, not the latest,” was the re-
ply. “The earliest.”
Gummed Up Training
Training workers for defense in-
dustries, like certain other phases
of the defense program, appears to
have become gummed up with good
intentions.
The program is centralized in
the public school system, which is
applying the role of universal edu-
cation and it isn’t working out.
When the program was launched
last July 1, the schools enthusias-
tically opened the doors wide on
all applicants and turned over their
vocational shops and staffs. They
are now learning industry won’t
take some of the trainees on a bet.
In one mid-western state, which
has become a center of defense pro-
duction, a check of the first batch
of trainees revealed a large number
who couldn’t get jobs because of
inability to meet rudimentary
qaunlifications for physical condi-
tion, aptitude and background.
The schools also have discovered
