may not have died in vain we pledge
our cooperation with every agency ac-
tive in the cause of World Peace.

• To adjourn or to recess.
That question comes into each
man’s mind daily now. It is
customary to adjourn and let
the Governor call a special
session if needed. Some feel
that conditions in the world
are happening so quickly, and
changes may be overnight in
which we would be called upon
to consider necessary measur-
es to assist the federal govern-
ment. If we adjourned, we
could of course meet again, but
would consider only the specific
measures for which we were
called. If we recess, we could
be called by the governor,
lieutenant governor, and the
speaker of’ the House, and could
take up any matter confront-
ing the state and nation.
Of course most of us would
like to go home, since we are
only paid enough now for ac-
tual expenses, but we feel it
our duty to finish certain mat-
ters. The bills to appropriate
funds with which to operate
the state for the next two
years have all passed both
houses. They are now in con-
ference committees, who are
attempting to adjust differen-
ces in amounts. This takes
time. It will probably be two
weeks before these bills get to
the governor for his consid-
eration. I have voted against
raises in all departments except
to provide places for the in-
sane, so we can take them out
of jails. No need to pass large
tax bills and then give it all to
state departments when it was
intended for social security.
Among the bills we must
pass before leaving is one de-
termining allocation of excess
money in the state’s county
and road indebtedness fund.
The House voted to give this
money to the counties, but the
senate voted to give it to the
highway department for mili-
tary roads. We have several
roads in my district which were

made possible by this money,
and I am working hard to see
that we get it this year. The
bill must be reenacted every
two years, but several of us
are holding out for our coun-
ties.
The daily newspapers gave
favorable comment on my bill
just signed by the Governor,
which allows the commission-
ers courts to purchase fire
fighting equipment for com-
munities outside of cities. It
also allows them to contract
with cities to furnish this pro-
tection, and until this law was
passed, the cities had no legal
right to go outside city limits
to a fire, but now they can go
out and fight fires when need-
ed. The bill was endorsed by
the state volunteer firemen
and the Texas League of
Municipalities. Another bill of
mine signed last week was one
to allow presidential electors to
draw their per diem. Mr. Ed-
ward Vint, our former repre-
sentative, was the last elector
from our section.
We passed a law eliminating
penalties on state and county
deliquent taxes, as of July 1,
1940, if paid before Nov. 1,
this year. Cities and school dis-
tricts may adopt the plan if so
desired. I have always opposed
tax remissions to individual
counties, but feel that if re-
mitted to one county, they
should be remitted to all coun-
ties. Such a general remission
bill is now being worked upon
by us, and stands a chance of
being passed. It would assist
my counties greatly, as no
counties have more flood dam-
age than we have. Between
the Colorado and Brazos rivers,
the Mill, Brushy and Bernard
and other creeks, we have suf-
fered much loss of valuable
property as well as some lives.
