Most of the larger Texas daily newspapers
carry news accounts datelined Austin and
giving a monthly report on the deficit or
balance in the state government’s general
revenue fund.
We advise our readers to ignore these
articles because the figures are never ac-
curate. This fact should be known to every
newspaper editor in the state but for some
reason it continues to escape most of them.
The inaccuracy is due to the state govern-
ment’s queer system of bookkeeping and to
the fact that both the comptroller and the
treasurer make public figures on the state’s
financial situation. 4
In these reports for th fiscal period from
Sept. 1 through Dec. 31, 1963 the comptroller

Here’s ome newly hatched word that ought te
be anutfed eat immediately before It gets any
farther: "defimitized."
It seems to have first appeared in a news re-
lease put out by Manhall Space Flight Center, in
which it was stated that NASA “baa definitized
a contract . . .“ (for research on a certain rocket
engine).
Presumably, the word means that all details of
the research task have been worked out (“the
parameters have been delineated,” we should per-
haps ray). If that’s so, what in heaven’s name is
wrong with good old "finlized"? Or to feat recent
barbarism already obsolete?
The space agency these days is a veritable
spawning ground for neologisms, as is only to be
expected in this new field on the frontiers of
human endeavor But ao few of the words have
been noted for their grace or euphony or far filling
a need ao older word could fill “Impacted’’ and
"destructed" are two ugly examples that come
to mind.
If it keeps up, we'll really need a new word:
“linguacide’-the murder of language.

Since the U.S. Treasury Department announced
its intention to gradually replace its Silver Certif-
icate dollar bills with Federal Reserve notes, it
has been bombarded with frantic queries from aU
over the country which say in etect:
"Now that our dollar bills are ra longer
beaked by silver ere they just popert"
In the post, the Treasury was always willing
to demonstrate to«t its billo were becked by silver
’ bullion. Anyone could exchange Silver Certificates
for the equivalent to silver dollars.
For the record, the new Federal Reserve notes
are backed just as fully—by 2S per cent gold and
by n per cent assets of the Federal Reserve
Bank. These assets ere in the form of gUt-ed-ed
securities.
.But tor the time being, the Treasury has de-
cided to continue its policy of giving doubting
Thomases silver dollars for paper money Main
reason is probably because no one in the depart-
ment bra yet figured how to give 1-240 of a share
of Du Pont in exchange for a one dollar bill.
Other doubting Thomases who don’t went to
travel all.the way to Washington can prove the
validity at their Silver Certificate dollars simply
by spending them aa they always have

What right do we have to go
into another country and tell

have we as Americans to say
we are better than another race
of people? What right do we
have to raise our children—the

that everyone must do aa we

That’s all Time had to say about East .
Texas and of course when compered with
the true facts involved with the territory the
article is ebout as inaccurate and misleading
as it is possible to be.
We are not, however, as much concerned
with the inaccuracies as with the primary
reason for them. East Texans simply have
not been as diligent as they should in giving
the nation the true picture of themselves and
their region.
Certainly we hive our shortcomings, and
nobody in the area makes any effort to hide
them from public view. But we are far more
than a vast forest of skinny pines populated
by semi-illiterate and starving old people,
beset with racial tensions, and living off
moonshining and the wood products industry.
With just a little effort on the part of its
research staff, Time could have come up with
a far more accurate picture of East Texas
than is projected in its article. Bv the same
token, more effort on the part of East Texans
to give the nation and the world a true image
of their territory would do much to avoid the
kind of libel to which they were subjected
by Time. ' i

Folklore tip: If you walk
around an owl, it will turn its
shows the year-end general fund deficit as
$24,660,457 and the treasurer shows it as
$23,849,434.
Neither figure is anywhere close to being
aecurate. The treasurer also ahows on hia
report the aum of $22,342,692 dollars in the
"omnibus tax clearance” fund. A major part
of that money belonged to the general fund
but had not been credited to thia account
before the figures on the deficit were com-
piled.
This is but one of many things which are
wrong with the archaic accounting practices
of our state government. And we hope that
before he leaves office Gov. John Connally
will find the time to inaugurate a program
for improvement of the bookkeeping system.

The East Texas Chamber of Commerce
and its affiliates are trying to launch a major
program for tourist development in this re-
gion. One of the more critical parts of this
undertaking is to give the nation and the
world at large a more accurate picture of the
territory than now prevails among those who
don't know much about it.
Time magazine made crystal clear the
need for an effort to improve our public
image in the cover story for its Jan. 17
edition. In the broad sense, this report on
the State of Texas and its governor,'John
Connally, is well done and as comprehensive,
an.could be expected considering the subject
matter and the necessity tor dealing with it
in limited space.
But the portion of it which describes East
Texas reflects two things: (1) the generally
unfavorable public image of the territory in
other parts of the country, and (2) an excep-
tionally sloppy job by Time's research de-
partment witness:
“The ‘Piney Woods’ area, from Beaumont
north to Texarkana, is the farthest western
reach of the great Southern U.S. pine forests
that begin in Virginia and North Carolina.
Skinny pines, including a kind rather pleas-
antly known as the loblolly, grow thick as
weeds over some 35 million acres.
“The area provides a poor living for its
older residents, most of whom crossed the
border from Deep South states and are poorly
educated. A majority of Texas' roughly one
million Negroes live in East Texas, and it is
