Optimism Is-
(Continued from Page One)
advocacy of certain legislation, in-
cluding the agricultural bill under
which West Texas will obtain a
fairer cotton quota, and bpposition
to other, such as the standard soil
conservation act.
Legislation Is Studied
The chamber also opposed aboli-
tion of Hie embargo on foreign im-
portations of cattle and cattle pro-
ducts and any increases to taxes on
oil -production, while working for
creation of the Big Bend Park and
carrying on much advertising of its
territory.
The opening of the convention,
which is expected to draw thous-
ands of visitors, was with religious
services and a welcome 'by Walter
D, Cline of Wichita Palls.
The Rev. J. W. McKinney, pastor
of the Highland Heights Christian
Church of Wichita. Falls, gave the
Invocation, the Rev. S. Stephen Mc-
Kenney, pastor of St. Paul’s Meth-
odist Church of Houston, an ad-
dress. and the Rev. O. L. Shelton,
pastor of the First Christian Church
of Wichita Falls, the benediction.
Monsignor Patrick, J. F. CBeirne,
pastor of the Sacred Heart Church
of Wichita Falls, was director of the
program.
Tax Matters Up
Although the convention started
oil to. a religious atmosphere, there
will be plenty of whoopee when 36
bands, including the one from Cole-
man, official band of the conven-
tion, as well as the main body of
delegates, begin pouring in.
Speakers listed for the agricultur-
al and livestock, conference were H.
H. Williamson, director of the Ex-
tension Service at Texas A. & M.
College; E. N. Holmgreen, agricul-
tural administration director for
Texas; Albert Mitchell of Albert, N.
M., prominent cattleman; and Clif-
ford B. Jones of Spur, former presi-
dent of the chamber. Jones will an-
nounce a soil and water conserva-
tion contest.
Mayor Fiorelio H. LaGuardia of
New York will -address the first gen-
eral convention session Tuesday af-
ter a mammoth parade and United
States Senator Tom Connaily will
speak Wednesday.

MOTHER NATURE sometimes gives man forceful sermons on
how to live. The White Pine forest of Greylock Park is a typical
picture of the “Never Say Die” spirit. Some of the trees had the
main trunk broken completely off, only to have a new branch
carry on the work of the lost member.

Debt Liquidation-
difllculties was the over-capitaliza-
tion of our industries, the selling of
watered stock, the issuance of 6tock
dividends, particularly with prefer-
ence to holding companies.
"From 1929 to 1933, instead of
trying to maintain the private debt
structure and making government
loans to bail out banks, railroads
and industrial concerns, we should
have permitted them to 'be liquidat-
ed and then passed legislation to
prevent over-capitalization again.
‘Sooner or later we are going to
have to be realistic about this mat-
ter. We have got to realize there is
a debt burden on the fanner, on
industry, on cities, counties and
States which is impossible for the
people to bear,
“The easy way, of course, was to
do what’s been done, -beginning in
1929, but it wasn’t a cure for the
evil, -and we've carried on the same
policy from 1929 to the present
time.
“In the long run, it means we are
either going -to -have to go through
general liquidation or we will have
to go through an inflationary period
as other countries have done, and
with the same results.
“The tax burden today and the
interest burden can be carried on
prdbaibly for some time longer by
inflationary measurees, but the ulti-
mate end must be liquidation of the
debt structure, and the sooner it's
done the better.”

Wheeler’s views on pump-priming
conflicted sharply with those of
others in the liberal-progressive
bloc, with which he was -associated
for many yeans. In 1924 lie was the
vice presidential candidate on the
LaFoliette third party ticket.
The La Follette progressive group
favors heavy government spending.
Wheeler conceded it was “neces-
sary to take care of men who could-
n't get employment to periods of de-
pression,” but added, “we haven’t
done anything very fundamental to
correct the evils which brought
about the depression of 1929 and the
consequent depression of 1938."
Recalling that he had opposed
creation of the Reconstruction FI
nance Corporation under President
Hoover, Wheeler added:
“I felt then that one of our great
Night,” and many city homes will
be open to the public for one of the
most interesting alnd entertaining
musical programs planned for the
week.
