the duty of the state not only to
provide the youth with an educa-
tion but to restore conditions that
this youth may have an opportuni-
ty to accomplish his well-being in a
field of open free competition, Tom
Hunter of Wichita Falls, will dis-
cuss the various phases of his state
recovery program in a series of
speeches in various sections ofTex-
as, during the next three weeks, he
announced here before starting on
his speaking tour.
“To accomplish a rehabilitation
of this state, to make available
funds for the employment of our
thousands of jobless, to restore
hope for the others on our relief
rolls, we must do two things. These
required accomplishments are the
restoration of an easy available cre-
dit and the retention as a buying
power for the people of Texas the
profits and proceeds of our state’s
natural wealth,” Hunter said.
“In’ writing of my recovery pro-
gram I have kept well in mind the
means for restoring credit and the
steps necessaary to halt the unfair
exploiting of our natural resources
by eastern combines of wealth.
"In order to restore an easy avail-
able credit it is necessary that the
unfair burden now resting on real
estate be relieved. While real estate
bears 77 per cent of the ad valorem
tax burden it brings us but 15 per
cent of our income. The other 85
per cent of the values in this state,
representing income from sources
other than real estate, is bearing
only 23 per cent as contrast to real
estate’s load. A blended tax plan
must be adopted in order that the
tax burden may be reallocated so
that all pay in proportion to their
ability and that the interests which

In his blended tax plan, Hunter
explained, a net earnings tax is pro-
posed to be placed upon the larger
brackets of income.
“Such a plan will eliminate a case
in point, that of a great pipe line
company, which during a depres-
sion year made a net profit of over
twenty millions of dollars and paid
in all taxes in the state only $471,-5
000 or two and three-tenths per.
Wardrobe Demonstrations.
The adult wardrobe demonstrat-
ors and their co-operators assem-
bled in Canton Aug. 7 for what was
primarily a lesson and secondarily
a contest. Each woman styled her
dress and Miss Alice Murrey, head
of the department of home econom-
ics in Wills Point schools, told
them that the supreme test of the
attractive garment was whether it!
complimented the wearer. Under
finishes are merely to insure a sub-
stantial garment and to aid in ob-
taining a smooth fit,’’ Miss Murrey
said.
In open house discussion the
score card was compiled and the j
women decided upon what points
their garment were to be judged.
The score card included suitability
of material, choice of pattern, and
fit of garment. Each dress was dis-
cussed and scored publicly in order
that each woman might correct her
own mistakes. Miss Murrey com-
plimented the group on the univer-
sal good fit and suitability of shoul-
der and neck lines.
The reports turned in by the
group show that there are 17 ward-
robe demonstrators in the county,
9 of which have learned to keep rec-j
ords of expenditures for the first
time. There have been 66 founda-
tion patterns made and from these
114 dresses and 21 princess slips.
One hundred and four non club
members have been reached by
help given in dress fitting. Twenty-
four closets have been built and
nine remodeled as a result of ward-
robe work. There have been 40 new
sleeve boards made in the county.
Miss Maurine Norrell of Elberta
was awarded first place in the
wardrobe contest, with second place
going to Mrs. Florence Black of
Board Club.

Hunter declared that their control
by the state to permit regulation of
rates “on a fair basis is essential to
a Texas recovery." He quoted fig-
ures to show that in Winnipeg,
Canada, where utilities are con-
trolled the rate for 350 kilowatt
hours of service per month is $3.08,
while in Texas cities, San Antonio
being given as an example, the
same service costs $25.
“These utilities, too powerful in
their set up to be brought into line
by any one community are taking
millions out of Texas annually in
unfair profits," Hunter said.
Hunter declared, in regard to
Texas’ natural resources, that “our
natural wealth is being siphoned
out of the state for the benefit of
out-of-state exploiters with little or
no tax payment to recompense the
state. He urged a larger tax levy
upon sulphur of which Texas sup-
plies 80 per cent of the world's con-
sumption.
