Some people enjoy u wild
obsession,
That now, wel'll have a bad
4 depression
They have no faith; ho they
spread their fear,
And «re always crying in their
t beer.
They rant and rave like
pedagogue*,
The market's going to the dog !
Their grandad, in dark mental
fog*,
Said things were going to the
dogs;
His grandad, in his old skin togs,
Said things were going to the
dogs;
' His ancestors, back to the polly-
wogs.
Said things were going to the
dogs.
' But this country's strong — it's
future great,
And the dogs have a had a
damn long wait.

An Editorial
From The Dallas News
Under the orderly processes of
Texas State Government, this hap-
pens: '1 he Legislature finds a
worthy purpose, a psychiatric hos-
pital for instance. It provides for
same. It enacts a bill, appro-
priating x dollars for the purpose
Senate and House have whooped
it through. But it does not go to
the Governor for signature. It
goes instead to the Comptroller
of Public Accounts.
Says Art. Ill, Sec. 49-2 of the
State Constitution: "No bill con-
taining an appropriation shall be
considered as passed or sent to
the Governor for consideration
unless the Comptroller endorses
his certificate thereon showing
the amount appropriated thereon
is within the amount estimated to
be available within the affected
funds." If the Comptroller does
not find the funds available, he
returns the bill to the house of
origin without certificate. The bill
stops right there.
Astonishingly, The News has
found Texas teachers who think
that the pay raise enacted in 195:',
had to wait on the special session
in 1954 because Gov. Allan Shivers
vetoed it What happened, of
course, was that the Legislature
passed the- hill and the Comptrol-
ler found no funds available. The
Governor nad no bill to veto.
Instead, he had a problem to
solve. And he did solve it. He
called together a committee to
work out ways and means. They
came up with both the bill mid
tne necessary appropriation to
cover it. The Legislature was
called into special session to pro
vide both, and did

Texas teacher would know that
