year.
State departments are clam-
oring for funds — a $41 mil-

A majority of the lawmakers
are expected to go along with
Governor Shivers on the money

Elsewhere: 1 year $3.00, 0 mos. $1.75. Foreign postage extra

Twice in the last 13 months
the board has issued a “ruling"
— and recalled it — outlawing
newspaper advertising by op-
tometrists, except for card ads.
This order was in direct defi-
ance of the state Legislature
and in spite of Attorney Gener-
al John Ben Sheppard’s ruling
that they had no such power.
Now the board has called for
“public” hearings, January 3,
at the statehouse, as a buildup
for another such ruling.

Money and Water
Financial and drouth pro-
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Arseriation
AUSTIN, Tex.—Highlighting
the news in Austin is the resig-
nation of U. S. District Attor-
ney Charles Herring.
Herring is the only remain-
ing Democrat in a federal at-
torney’s job in the nation. He
leaves an impressive record as
a prosecutor.
He will return to private
practice in Austin, when his
resignation becomes effective,
January 1.
Rumor is that he will be a
candidate for Attorney General
of Texas in 1956.
Russell Wine, San Antonio
attorney, is in line for the dis-
trict attorney’s post. He has
Republican National Commit-
teeman Jack Porter’s backing
for the job.
State Building Program
Karl Kamrath, Houston ar-
chitect and chairman of the
state planning commission, says
that state plans for new build-
ings in Austin will probably be
delayed until the capitol city’s
new “Master Plan” is develop-
ed, so that city and state plans
may dovetail. ,
Kamrath was here to talk
with the city’s planning officials
about the employment of a con-
sulting engineer for preparation
of the new master plan.
State voters recently approv-
ed a constitutional amendment
authorizing the transfer of sur-
plus money from the Confeder-
ate Pension Fund to a building
fund for the erection of a new
courts building and a new state
office building.
Another Attempt
If you wear glasses you’ll be
interested in the latest move by
the state optometry board.
Last year the Legislature re-
fused to pass an optometry bill
granting the board dictatorial
powers over newspaper and
other advertising.
Legislators felt that the pub-
lic’s interest came first, and that
the board’s bill would only
serve to jack up the cost of
Democratic Harmony
Maybe there is going to be
a little more harmony in the
Democratic Party.
Governor Allan Shivers ex-
pressed that possibility in a
press conference here.
He said that the trend of a
party meeting in New Orleans
seemed to indicate a feeling on
the part of Democratic leaders
to yield somewhat in their at-
titude toward southern conser-
vatives.
“It should be looked on in
that light,” the Governor said.
Legislators At Work
Texas legislators, with a $15
per day pay boost, will spend
little time in getting back to
work in January.
Committee appointments and
election of a speaker of the
House are expected to present
no problems.
Lieutenant Governor Ben
Ramsey is planning to name
the Senate committees by
January 11, when members
convene.
Rep. Jim T. Lindsey of Tex-
arkana is unopposed for speak-
er of the house and the first
day’s business will see him
elected. He’s also expected to
have committee appointments
ready early.
Under new regulations, legis-
lators receive $25 a day for the
first 120 days, and nothing
thereafter. Heretofore they
were paid $10 a day for the
first 120 days and $5 a day for
regular session overtime. The
new rule should speed up 1955
action.
Special sessions, under the
• new law, must end in 30 days,
with $25 a day applicable.
Highway Plans
A $2.5 million highway pro-
gram for Texas has been okay-
1 ed by a special committee ap-
pointed at the request of Gov-
ernor Shivers.
State Highway Commission
Chairman E. H. Thornton Jr.,
who set up the committee said
that the problem of financing
the program would be sub-
mitted to the legislature in
ed that ignorance was a re-
quirement for plowing and once
you improved your mind you
had to give it up.
The idea that manual labor
and education don't go together
is a new one on me too. Even a
college president with a string
of degrees is bound to have to
do some manual labor, unless
he has somebody hired to work
his tooth brush back and forth
for him I ain’t never consider-
ed calluses on your hands was a
bar to some education in your
head
1 don't know any farmers
who wish they were college
professors, but 1 have an idea
there are some college profes-
sors who wish they were farm-
ers, if for no other reason just
for the increase in income
they'd get I imagine there are
more teachers teaching because
they can't farm than there are '
farmers farming because they
can’t teach.
If we can produce too many
college graduates, why can’t
we produce too many high
I picked up in town yesterday
about the results of the vote
farmers delivered on cotton
marketing quotas this week, as
you know these quotas are
voted on because farmers have
produced too much cotton, I
saw over on another page an
article that revealed farmers
ain’t the only people who are
over-producing.
Colleges are doing it now.
According to a college presi-
dent the article was quoting,
“American colleges may be
turning out too many gradu-
ates.”
This bowled me over. You
mean to say colleges ain't no
smarter than us farmers and
are gonna have to have market-
ing quotas on graduates?
I kept on reading and got
more amazed as 1 went. This
college president added that
“there is a real question as tor
our society’s need for unlimited
numbers of college graduates
and its capacity to absorb them
into the fields for which they
may be trained.”
You mean to say that college
graduates are like bales of cot-
ton. after you get so many
there ain’t no need for any-
more? This seems to put a new
interpretation on education, and,
I’m looking forward to the time
when all quota elections are
combined and In one column
on your ballot you vote for cot-
ton limitations, for corn or
maize or wheat limitations in
another, for the size of the col-
lege crop in another.
This president even went on
He said that some educators
feel that in the future large
proportions of college gradu-
ates will have to be content
with manual labor, and he re-
minded his listeners of the old
