The city is doing Its part by hauling
away without cost all indestructible

Democratic cloak room gossip is that Senator Huey
Long plans to run against Roosevelt for renomina-
tion in 1936 and hopes to take at least a few south-
ern delegations to the convention in an effort to
block the president.
Some Democrats take this more seriously than it
sounds, believing Huey may line up with other anti-
Roosevelt elements in the party and take advan-
tage of any subsequent decline in Roosevelt popular-
ity—which, by the way. is just as strong as ever, on
the basis of congressional mail.
Contemporary Thought
PROFESSORIAL THEORISTS
Now that Dr. William Wirt's “Communist plot"
bubble has burst we find that but little has emerged
out of the episode but a feeling that the practice of
putting theorists in charge of execution of practical
things is dangerous: Fortunately, but little of this
has characterized the New Deal. It being the presi-
dent's procedure to, listen to their advice carefully
and then act from a consensus of all of them com-
bined with his own thoughts.
That, after all, is the purpose of our highly spe-
cialized educational system which grows more high-
ly specialized each day. If our edueational institu-
tions in this specialization process should develop
into devices rubber-stamping students into facsimiles
of Wirt and other wild-eyed theorists with whom so
many of our colleges are infested, we should doubt-
less regret that we permitted the development to
go on.
We should not take our theorists too seriously.
They serve their purpose, but that purpose is limited
to advancing Information from which to select our
own theories, not to be accepted in toto as gospel

FTALKS
10 PARENTS
By Broke Peters cnurch,
A DOUBTFUL PLEASURE
Mrs, Thomas was in tlie habit of
reading to her children evarv day.
She chose execellent books, and nor-
mally the reading hour should have
been very enjoyable.
But before she started she al-
ways questioned her audience as to
what she had read the day before,
and if the children did not at once
remember, was apt to close the book
and refuse to go on.
If children are to enjoy books
and reading aloud the element pf
duty and edification must be elim-
inated. Perhaps they will not al-
ways remember what has gone be-
fore, but if to. the fault lies not in
the child, but in the reader or the
choice of the book. Sometimes, of
course, a child's attention wanders
and he misses something of impor-
tance. But lie is far more apt to
turn back and look for the cqhnect-
ing link or to inquire about it if
left to himself than if examined and
reproved for lack of interest.
If a parent really wishes to in-
troduce a child to the best in liter-
ature, she can accomplish tlie pur-
pose best by making the classics a
joy rather than a duty. It-is just
the element of work connected with
them which makes them so distaste-
ful to the child who is obliged to
read them in school, and the chief
reason for reading them to him is
to take them out of the scholastic
atmosphere and make them recre-
ation.
The School hours comprise enough
formal education for any child, and
whatever else is necessary is much
more easily and effectively instilled
by suggestion and unconscious guid-
ance than by direct teaching

_ _ 60-CENT OIL TAXED $132 ___________
W. R Boyd Jr., executive vice-president of the
American Petroleum Institute addressed the South-
western division of the institute the other day in
Fort Worth and pointed out that while the producers
of oil received 80 cents a barrel for their product, the
Texas tax collectors got 61-33 a barrel for the oil
and its products This is a rather heavy tax burden
to be laid upon one community, but it isn't paid
by any one individual. Everyone from the producer
to the ultimate user of gasoline and motor oil pays
a portion of the tax, and while the individual bur-
den is small, the aggregate presents a serious ob-
stacle to the oil industry as a whole. The oil industry
has been made a sort of tax collector for the State
and federal governments, and the burden has been
increased from year to year without much prospect
of a limit being reached.
Oil, tobacco and sulphur are three products that
supply a good percentage at Texas' income. Beer re-
cently has been added as a new source of revenue,
and the lawmakers are seeking other products that
can carry a part at the burden. The trouble is that
it is the tendency to pile on more taxes on the few
products, rather than to distribute this load.
But she is also a member of the
Council of National Defense. Smith-
sonian Institution, National Emerg-
ency Council and Executive Coun-

though this has been largely over-
shadowed by the National Labor
Board.
She has revitalized the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, and the Im-
migration and Naturalization Serv-

esthetics, singly, in combination,
or in series. And yet fundamental-
ly, we lackessential knowledge as to
how and why narcotics and anes-
thetics render us insensible to pain.
Originally it was thought that
prolonged inhalation of anesthet-
ics such as chlorform and ether pro-
duce certain constitutional changes
in the brain cells and that these
changes accounted for insensibility
and unconsciousness later, it was
found that in addition there were
modifications in the vial activities
at the cells at the nervous system.
This was witnessesd in their de-
creased utilization of oxygen and in
their decreased resistance to the
passage of electrical currents.
More important, however, Is the
finding that anesthetics and nar-
colics not only affect the nerve cells
and the brain, but all other tissues
as well, though not necessarily to
the same degree.
Narcotics and anestheties appar-
ently have the ability to dampen and
to retard essential vital cell func-
tions. If enough anesthetic ts ad-
ministered to a living thing, death
can be produced. This is true of
all living substances, vegetable as
well as animal.
An apple, a living thing which
previously was breathing, taking in
oxygen and giving off” carbon di-
oxide, was altected by a nareette
in an experiment. If enough of it
is introduced, the apple’s respiration
ceases, it shrivels, turns brown and
soon rote.
The problem of how anesthetics
achieve their results is not yet com-
pletely solved. but this better ap-
preciation of their effects has taught
medicine to apply them with great-
er caution.

DENTON, TEXAS, APRIL 23, 1934
CURTAILED OUTPUT NO SOLUTION
The Columbia University commission on economic
construction has completed its report on how so-
ciety can overcome the evils of poverty and unem-
ployment, All that is necessary, the report says in
some 65,000 words, is to produce at a maximum ca-
pacity and distribute income more equitably.
The report also calls attention to the "dangerous
x fallacy" that is gaining adherents in many ports Of
the country to the effect that curtailed output
and the resultant higher prices will aid business re-
covery. Quite a few economists and lawmakers hold
to this belief, and most at the National Recovery
program, especially the industrial codes, are predi-
cated on a control of production in order to increase
prices.
But regardless of hjgher prices, there is one ele-
ment that cannot be overlooked, and that is the wU-
lingness and ability of the public to buy. Higher
prices and less volume may enable higher wages for
the present, but American prosperity has been built
by directly the opposite process of greater production.

Are underprivileged children in
Denton to be given a chance? That
is a question tacing the people of
this city and the answer to which
is in their own hands. Finding there
was a vast field for worth-while
work tn the interest of underpriv-
ileged children, the Kiwanis Club
in 1927 presented a minstrel to raise
funds with which to carry out this
project. The response of Denton
people was whole-hearted The show
was attended by perhaps the lar-
gest crowd that has ever paid ad-
mission to an indoor entertainment
in Denton. The next year, a show
was presented again. The response
was excellent. And so year after
year, the club has. with much work
on thespart of its members, pre-
sented a benefit show, and year
after year the people at Denton have
shown their whole-hearted co-oper-
ation. As the years have gone by.
the amount of work needed by un-
derprivileged children here has in-
creased. and today there is a great-
er demand for funds than ever be-
bore. For the eighth year in succes-
sion. the club will present a show in
the North Texas Teachers College
auditorium Tuesday night, May 1.
It is hoped to raise at least 31000
for this year’s activities. Only
through the general co-operation at
the public can I his goal be realized
Work on the show has already been
started. More entertainment than
the price of the tickets is promised,
and all the funds raised will go for
the benefit of the children at Den-
ton. The club members believe they
can count on the unstinted support
of Danton people again this year,
as they have in the past; if so, the
most needy children of Denton are
assured of the service they so badly
need and deserve.

This bore, factual report from the Consumers' Ad-
visory Board makes no comment. It bristles with evi-
dence of open price association abuses, coercion of
small industrialists who can profit on reasonable
prices, prise-fixing, under axles which have no price-
fixing provisions, and practices which drive prices far
ahead of purchasing power. The citations show

code authority that he would be violating the code
if he didn't raise a certain price from 310 to 324 25
