And vhy do we have these unemployed?
Would we have them if it were not for those thirty millicn
prople driven from farms into cities in less than thirty years?
Would they have been driven out if it were not for the pro-
gram intended to take care of “the forgotten men”?
Would they have left our farms if the cotton acreage were
not taken from them, though they were not responsible for any
surpluses?
Would we have lost our cotton export markets if it were
not for the guaranteed parity price, making it impossible for our
cotton to compete with other cotton sold at the market price?
And did not Walter Reuther, with big farmers, urge just
such program? Now he will want the congress to do something

— Dallas News —
Sen. Karl Mundt. Republican from South Dakota, tossed a le-
gislative bombshell into labor - management relations. His bill
would force a strike vote by mail. If the strike is approved by
secret ballot, it could not begin for 20 days.
If a vote is taken, that procedure is fair. If a strike is ap-
proved, a cooling-off period is fair. The Worker is denied nothing.
Management gets time to prepare for layoffs. The public has
nearly three weeks to adjust.
But the Senator's bill hasn’t a ghost of a chance. Organized
labor's control of senatorial legislation is too firm.
The Kennedy-Irvin bill is nothing but a face-saver. It corrects
a few practices between labor’s membership and labor’s leader-

T‘-7,
which I have discussed in an ar-
ticle a couple of weeks ago.
Frankly, if I had nothing
more to do than study these Tax
Bills my time would be well
spent for the remainder of this
Session. The above mentioned
tax bills will bring in some
fifty-one and one-half million
dollars additional taxes and re-
peal some eleven and one-half
million dollars in taxes. The net
total would be forty million dol-
lars in new revenue.
SALES TAX
A general Sales Tax, which
has been introduced this past
week, would bring in some one
hundred forty million dollars in
new revenue during the bien-
nium. A Broad Base Tax Bill
which has been introduced would
bring in some two or three
hundred million dollars in new
revenue during the biennium.
This is a lot of money but it
will take a lot of money to get
us out of the situation we are
presently in attempting to pro-
vide the goods and services de-
manded by the ro ple of Texas.
As I have stated before, the
greatest cost of our govern-
ment, that which consumes 90%
of our budget is education, high-
ways and roads, public welfare,
and state hospitals.
As a matter of fact, the cost
of State Government outside of
the three big items is not great
relative to that of other states
of comparable population, nor
has it increased out of propor-
tion to other public and private
cost increases in recent years.

did not have to worry with the

burdens of education, highways
and roads, public welfare, we
would have no great difficulty
in raising money for the current
budget.
It is my sincere hope that we
can find a middle ground where
we may provide the things that
are necessary to meet the de-
mands of our growth without
placing an undue burden upon
any segment of the tax paying
public.
rules. Beginning Monday, it will
take a two-thirds vote of the
Senate to obtain permission to
suspend the rules to introduce
any new bills, which pretty well
means that any bills where there
is conflict to anv great extent
will be very hard to vet intro-
duced and the possibility of
their passing this session will
be very slim. To date, there are
approximately 383 Senate Bills
and 759 House Bills on almost
every known subiect.
The Senate Education Com-
mittee today passed out favor-
ably a bill authorizing the
Board of Trustees of all school
districts to insure students par-
ticipating in interschool athle-
tic competitions. I know this will
he of interest to mothers and
fathers of students participating
in interschool athletic competi-
tions, as well as to the students
themselves.
I plan to be in Sealy Friday
evening with Representative
Sanford Schmid to talk to a
large group on pending matters
in the Legislature. I will be in
Bellville next Thursday night,
the 19th, to introduce Senator
A. M. Aikin. who will speak on
the Hale-Aikin Program as it
is now before the Legislature.
I thoroughly enjoy visiting o-
ver the district and I try to
make all the functions to which
I am invited. Sometimes pre-
vious engagements and commit-
ments or pressing matters here
at the Canitol keep me from
accepting. This, I know you un-
derstand.
I voted “No" again today on
adjournment, because I feel we
should stay and put in a full
week so we can get our business
tended to.
Sincerely yours,
— Culp Krueger,
Walter Reuther will lead a march of the unemployed on Wash-
ington, as “General” Coxey did in 1894.
Evidently Reuther wants to make the same name for him-
self as this “General” did.
This because less than five million are unemployed, accord-
Rice Industry and we in the
Congress felt it should have.
We heard testimony from the
Department of Agriculture, the
State Department, and the Rice
Industry and came out of the
sessions with the feeling that,
while the program has not mov-
ed as rapidly as it might have:
still, in view of its newness and
the many complications of for-
eign negotiations, it has made
good progress. We further con-
cluded that in the immediate fu-
ture it will improve, and much
of our surplus problems will be
taken care of.
The Committee expects to
hold some hearings in the Rice
Belt later in the spring. We
want the advice of the produc-
ers and the entire Industry as
to a long-range( future pro-
gram by which we can dispose
of more rice in the foreign mar-
kets at a competitive price.
The Secretary of Labor got
himself in a hornets’ nest last
week. He had published a ten-
tative set of regulations con-
cerning farm labor. If they
should be made official, agri-
culture would be saddled with
a tremendous burden of in
creased labor costs, plus work-
ing conditions that would be
impossible to meet without great
additional costs, which would
have to be passed on to the con-
sumer. Members of Congress
from Maine to California and
from Texas to the Canadian line
swarmed in on the Secretary and
told him of the ill effects of his
proposals. At this writing, he
has agreed to restudy the whole
problem, and he assured us that
he would give consideration to
the needs of agriculture as wo
explained them to him.
On last Thursday, Hawaii was
voted into the Union as the 50th
State. After certain formalities
are complied with, this newest

welcome.

cents an hour.”
Even 50 cents an hour used to be very good pay, when a new
Ford cost $700, and a 5 or 6-room cottage could be bought for
less than $1,000.
Now the pay may be several times higher, but so are the car
prices and a small fortune has to be paid for a small city home.
The federal government used to cost only one billion dollars
a year. And our state government less than one fifth of that.
Now our state government alone costs more than a billion
dollars a year, while Democrats think that not even $75 billion
is enough for the federal spending. And Walter Reuther too, is
of the same opinion.
In spite of those high union wages and benefits a depression
is on with millions of unemployed, since nothing better can be
expected from inflation. What goes up, has to come down one
way or another. And the labor unions have much to do with
it.
As to the big money power today, it does not even count
against the labor bosses today.

In a holp wanted ad being

There is a growing idea that
a worker should get big pay re-
gardless of whether he is worth
it or not, or whether the bus-
iness can afford it. That’s not
what labor unions care about.

In other words, the main i-
dea is that other people owe

not have to earn it, but should
get it anshow. That's what

It has been called to my at-
tention by a member of the cle-
rgy from my area that at the
present time clergymen are not
granted the right of privilged
communication and could be
held in contempt of court for
failure to disclose information
obtained from a communicant
seeking their spiritual advise.
Some thirty states now. by Sta-
tute, grant immunity from pro-
-cution to tlie clergy in this re-
gard.
In mv estimation, it is only
right that the members of the
clergy be given the full protec-
tion of the law to discuss mat-
ters of a confidential nature and
give advise to those seeking it
without fear of reproach from
the courts.
I have introduced House Bill
65 I w hich would grant this pri-
vilege of communication to
members of the clergy. This
right is now enjoyed by attor-
neys onlv. I hope those inter-
ested in this type of legislation,
which I think is for the best in-
terest of our society, will write
me their comments.

Dear John and Friends:
The biggest crowd ever to fill
the Senate Chamber was on
hand Monday to witness the Ed-
ucation Committee of the Sen-
ate vote out favorably Senate
Bill 5, having to do with the
improvement of our school sys-
tem.
The Senate gave quick appro-
val on Tuesday morning to some
corrective amendments in a bill
sponsored by the County Clerks
Association, of which John Ku-
bena of La Grange is Legisla-
tive Chairman. There was con-
siderable interest expressed in
this bill because it makes sure
that newlyweds are not over-
charged in obtaining their mar-
riage license from the County
Clerk. As we all know, money
is usually very short at the time
a person gets married. The total
fee which can be charged bv the
Co’ntv Clerk for recording, in-
dexing and so forth of the mar-
riage license will be $3.0,
should this bill succeed in pass-
ing the House and be signed by
the Governor.
In an effort to think ahead
to what we hope will not hap-
ren, vour Senator introduced 4
bills, Senate Bills 340, 3-11, 342
and 343 this morning to assure
the continuity of civilian gov-
ernment - ■ judicial lecislative
and executive — and the con-
tinuation of civil law and order
in the event of atomic attack.
These bills are important in Pre-
paring for survival and revival
and to avoid martial law in case
of atomic attack, and as a de-
terrent to attack. Briefly, they
provide for line of succession
for the Governor, the Courts,
the Legislature, and other offi-
cers of political subdivisions of
the State; provide for the es-
tablishment of emergency tem-
porary locations for seats of
government of the State and
political subdivisions.
Beginning on Monday, March
16, it will be much harder to
get bills introduced in the Sen-
ate and the House. For instance,
up until now, bills could be in-
toduced free — to speak
without having to suspend any
