gave everyone a fine exhibition of
basketball and proved himself a great
performer on any man’s club. Pala-

through the use of ineligible players,

Would Reduce Taxes.
"Among the most pressing needs of
Texas are a reduction of taxes of all W
kinds, and especially those on farms Nd
and homes and a fairer distribution
of the tax burden. As lieutenant gov- 2
ernor at the session of the legislature 27
in 1933, when I appointed the senate Ng
finance committee. 1 urged upon this
committee and every member the DP
necessity of reducing state expenses D
at least 25 per cent. This was done €
for the first time in the history of 28

Former Bay City
Girl is Singer in
“Dancing Lady”
Miss Lucille Fowler, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fowler, former
residents of Bay City several years
ago, is the unseen voice in the show
Dancing Lady” which will be shown
at the Franklin Theater tomorrow
and Wednesday. Miss Fowler, quite
a renowned singer in the United
States is the niece of Mr. and Mrs.
Z. W DeLano of this city. She sings
in this picture which stars Joan
Crawford and Clark Gable, as the
voice which is supposed to be that of
Miss Crawford.
tinue the program.
"All able-bodied Texas citizens
should be afforded an opportunity to
work and earn their own living. Re-
lief to the unemployed by means of a
dole will not only make tax burdens
mount higher and higher, but will af-
ford no permanent relief, and will
ruin morale and character. There are
ample fertile acres available for those
who can and want to cultivate them
and be self supporting and self re-
specting. The stat should protect
its taxpayers, and provide for its un-
employed at the same time, by pro-
viding some method whereby those
who desire may purchase and live
on a farm homestead
Opposes Business Racketeering.
"Recent congressional investigations
and other disclosures have shown that
the people have been exploited by big
business. 1 think the state should
follow the lead of the national gov-
ernment in preventing as far as pos-
sible, business racketeering and profi-
teering for the benefit of the few at
the expense of the many. However
our laws should not interfere with
the conduct of business, both large
and small, at a profit because only
by profitable commercial and indus-
trial activities can employment be
provided for workers and a market
created for the products of our farms
and ranches. Our laws should, there-
fore, recognize the distinction between
profitable business and profiteering
business.
“While the economic situation and
its problems are paramount, the
liquor question will claim the atten-
tion of the voters and interfere with
the unbiased consideration of other
questions, and of all candidates for
