ty:
In announcing my candidacy for
re-election to the Texas Legislature,j
I desire to express to you my ap- i
preciation for the splendid vote of
confidence and trust you placed in
me two years ago, and to say to you >
that I tried to merit that confidence
and ask your closest investigation of
my record (in the last legislature '
Space will not permit an elaborate
discussion of the issue before the j
next Legislature, but I desire to
make a brief mention of the fellow,
-ing:
The old age pension question is
an issue that must he met and solved
in keeping with the spirit and in-
tent of the constitutional amendment
adopted by the people. The present
administration of this issue is un-
satisfactory, ;unjust, discriminatory,
and entirely unfair to the aged peo-
ple. It is unfair and unjust in that
under the present set-up children are
beig required to support their aged
parents, when the intent of this
amendment was to make the aged
parents independent of their chil-
dren. Oftentimes the children them-
selves are in distressed circum-
stances; it is unfair and unjust in
that the aged Who have a little home
and a few acres of land are being
told to sell their land and live off
of the proceeds, which lento i the
benefit of thi.? aid to those who have
contributed to the support of the
government, but who, by force of
circumstances, broken health and
age, are no longer able to provide
for their support and maintenance.
The present law is based on need, but
this term is defined not by the law
but .hy the administrators of this
aid. Need should be defined by law
in no Uncertain terms so that the 1
aged will know what to depend up- |
on, and that need should be based
upon his individual income inde-
pendent of his children, and if he
has a little home and a few acres
o? land let him keep his home and j
small farm and rest in peace and :
security with the consciousness that
he will at least have the necessities
of life.
T favor the reduction in the cost j
of the administration of the State
Government, I believe that a saving
of from 25 per cent to 33 1-3 per
cent can be had in the administrative
cost of the state government by el-
iminating useless employees and re-
ducing the salaries of those whose
salaries are out ''n2 w'-h the sal-
aries paid by private industry for
the same type of service. I voted
against the departmental bill last
Legislature because I believed it un-
reasonably high.
I am in favor of carrying out the
express will of the people in pro-
viding for the needy blind, destitute
children, and the state meeting its
obligation fhr the teachers retire-
ment fund.
Soil Conservation has become a
necessity; I, therefore, favor the
State's co-operating in this program
wih the land owner and the Fedeiai
Government.
I favor liberal supjbrt for the
public school system. I have always
taken an active part in trying to
make it possible for every boy and.
girl in the rural districts to receive
a free high school education, and
shall continue to do so. I favor lib-
eral aid for the rural schools. I be-
lieve that rural education is one of
the greatest and most important
problems before the state.
I favor the liberal support of the
eleemosynary instiutions and doing
IT IS DANGEROUS
it is dangerous to seii a SUBSTI-
TUTE for 686 just to make three or
four cents more. Customers are your
best assets; lose them and you lose
your business. 666 is worth three or
four times as much as a SUBSTI-
TUTE.

every thing possible to restore their
unfortunate people to their normal
condition. In this connection I favor
paying those who have these people
in charge a living wage.
I believe in home ownership, but
believe that if we continue to be a
state of home owners that home-
steads up to a fixed valuation must
be exempt from all taxes, and in
this connection I advocated the sub-
mission of a constitutional amend-
ment to the people to accomplish
this purpose in the last Legislature.
I believe that in a democracy that
we should have the expressed will
of a majority of its adult citizens on
public issues. The prerequisite to
voting now is the payment of a poll
tax, which costs $1.75. Since $1.00
of this amount goes to the public
school fulnd, I favor reducing the
poll tax payment to $1,00) which
shall go to the school fund and ex-
tending the date of payment as a
prerequisite to voting to June 1st.
I believe that the state should ob-
tain its funds for highway purposes
from some other source than regis-
tration fees on automoblies. I favor
the reduction of the registration fee
to meet the needs of the county
only, and that for lateral roads.
A bill was before the last Legisla-
ture, known as the McFarland bill,
which sought to set up a state board
of equalization to supercede the com-
missioners courts in equalizing the
values on land, livestock, merchan-
dise and other property. I led the
fight against this bill and shall do
so if presented again, because the
real purpose of it, or rather the real
effect of it, will be to place a fur-
ther tax burden or, land, livestock,
and merchandise, which are now ov-
er-burdened, and because it will for-
ever destroy the uiiu privilege
the man with limited means has to
appear before his board of equaliza-
tion to protest any increase in the
assessed valuation of his property
It is a very dangerous and far-
reaching bill but it only lacked a few
votes passing or.e of the houses of
you? last Legislature.
As stated above, I cannot discuss
all the legislative issues in this ar-
ticle. I want to say to you that 1
am now a member of the Legislature
ard am familiar with pending legis-
lation ar.d the workings of state
government ami believe that I am
in a position to render Cherokee
County and the State some efficient
service. If you believe in my ability,
honor and integrity, I will appreciate
your active support whether I have
the privilege of seeing you in per-
son and soliciting your vote or not.
and I assure you that I shall contin-
ue to serve you to the best of my
'
ability free from any ir.f'uenee other
than to render the best service I can
to the masses of the people of Cher-
okee County and the state of Tex^s.

The religious census of Rusk was
taken Sunday afternoon. The cards
hve been tabulated and given to pas-
tors of the different churches. By
reason of the fact that a good many
families were away from home, the
census was incomplete. Much helpful
information, was secured.

The largest attendance of the year
was present at the Methodist Sun-
day School last Sunday. There were
197 present in time to count on the
) ecord. This is a fine start toward
a record attendance for the whole
year. There were 52 children below
the age of nine years. Let us adult-
get in there and match that record
in proportion, and we will see our
record approach what it should be

bring a Communion Meditation on
"What We can See on Calvary".
Following the Meditation, we shaii

removes the treed ana destroys their
valuable protective action. Forest
fires and over-grazing destroy not
only the trees but also the forest lit-
ter. With the litter burned, the top
soil is left barren, and the run-off
of rainfall is so accelerated that soon
bed and erosion is started. Continued
the top soil is carried to the stream
erosion means the filling of the
stieam bed artd the forcing of the
water from its regular course, thus
causing floods.
Establishment by the U. S. Forest
Service of National Forests in the
mountainous areas of our southern
states is part of a program of sound
j forestry development that will per-
) mit the forests in these areas to ex-
! ert their greatest influence on the
regulation of water flow by protec-
tion of the forests from fire, refor-
, estation of denuded lands unstoited
for agriculture, regulation of graz-
ing and selective cutting of timber

HOUSTON COUNTY'S SEMI-
ANNUAL SINGING
Public ownership of lands in criti-
cal watershed areas has proven the
only practical method of providing
"protection forests", as this enables
ing to be subordinate to protection,
such activities as cutting and graz-
while private owners in a majority
of cases are primarily interested in
revenues.
It should be emphasized, however,
however, that it is not proposed to
supplant forestry for engineering
works in flood control, but that for
ests located in the watersheds of
large rivers be permitted to play
their important part hy the restora-
tion of watersheds to their natural
state for prevention of acceleraed
run-off of rainfall. Thus, with the
fftgineerlng "developments at the
point of flood, this yearly national
catastrophe will be greatly reduced.
Houston County's semi-an|nual
singing convention will be held at
Shilo on the night of April 30th and
Sunday May 1st. The Stamps quar-
tet and V. O. Stamps are expected
to be present at this convention and |
other good singers from all parts of |

FLOODS AND FORESTS
By U. S. Department of Agriculture
Rushing waters from mountain
Streams resulting . in "flooded low-
lands and deplorable losses in human
lives and property brings home to
our people in no uncertain terms the
folly of forest devastation by fire
and unwise cutting in years past. To
say that forests prevent floods
would be a misleading statement,
but proof that forests are an impor-
:ant factor in the reducion of flood
waters has long been an established
fact.
Under natural forest conditions,
rainfall is retarded by the trees and
forest litter and the absorbent top
soil which lies ju?t under the forest
litter. In this manner the forest acts
as a regulator in permitting a con-
trolled passage of water from the
hillsides to the streams Tests con-
ducted by scientists have proven in
some instances as high as fifty per-
cent o? the rainfall on heavy-forest-
ed slopes is carried to the streams by
springs as a result of underground
seepage. This seepage is made pos-
sible through tree roots and the pro-
tected top soil.
