No. 1—Gentleman writing from a

item from Tyler: “The attached news
item states that the average price of
tomatoes’ Tor the past season was
$1.50. I’m handing you my sales slip
to show you that I didn’t get any-
thing like what the item says was the
average price. *.1 have a farm in your
county and, unless I can get better
returns for my tomatoes, I’m going
to quit renting it—and sell it.” (We
can’t enter into this matter. But it
has occurred to us, that we have nev-
er heard of an absentee, landlord who
made any money out of rentals on
tomatoes and similar crops—-and our
idea is that there are but few absen-
tee landlords anywhere who make any
money off of rentals for any agricul-
tural product. We have heard of|

Pres. Pat Mayse Launches
Etex. Civic Revival Here
A call to a “Civic Revival” of all
East Texas was the theme of Pres-
ident Pat Mayse of the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce on Friday
when he addressed the Kiwanis Club
arid Chamber of Commerce of Tyler
j in their monthly joint luncheon. Pres-
ident. Mayse and the Directors of the
j East Texas Chamber of Commerce
were special guests" of Gus F. Taylor,
.President of the local chamber, they
having come to Tyler for a directory
meeting of the regional organization.
Mr. Mayse delivered the principal
address at the luncheon. It was a
call to all East Texans to stir them-
selves more than ever in the matter
| of civic beauty and civic and commun-
ity service. His address was brief—
but it was a message that inspired
his auditors. The four outstanding
topics were Civic Leadership, Sources
of New Wealth, Self-reliance and the
Price of Citizenship—and the speaker
could have elaborated each' topic into
a lesson that might easily and prof-
itably have taken the whole luncheon
period.
Other “Civic Revival, meetings”
are scheduled to be held under E. T.
C. C. auspices at Sulphur Springs
September 24,. Nacogdoches', Septem-
ber 25, Conroe, September 26, Mexia,
September 27 and members of local
chambers of commerce are invited to
attend at least that meeting within
the list which Will be held at the
noint most convenient for them.

INDEPENDENT OIL
LEADER DIES IN
SHREVEPORT, FRI.
R. J. McMurrey of the McMurrey
Refining Company of Arp died last
Friday morning at 4:10 in a Shreve-
port hospital. Mr. McMurrey was 44
years old and the leader of the inde-
pendent dealers and refiner’s in the
East Texas field. '
According to a close friend of Mr.
McMurrey’s the deceased rose from
an obscure farm boy in San Jacinto
County to one of the outstanding
leaders in the national independent
oil industry. Among the various -es-
tablishments of which he was owner
and operator are the McMurrey Re-
fining Company of Arp, The McMur-
rey Corporation of Tyler, and The
Taylor Refining and Pipe Line Com-
pany of Tyler,
Although Mr. McMurrey was of a
quiet disposition and affable, he stood
steadfast in his belief that govern-
ment interference in private industry
was not iii keeping with the ideals of
our forefathers. He resisted with all
his power any efforts of government-
al agencies to encroach upon what he
believed his private affairs. His mot-
to was: “What I have acquired, I have
acquired honorably and legitimately.
It is my own’to hahdle and direct as
I please.”
Mr. McMurrey was a member of
the Baptist Church and a generous
contributor to all the church’s factors.
His vast holdings will in the future
probably be under the management of
his brother, M. H. McMurrey, who is
part owner in many of the enter-
prises.
Mr. and Mrs. McMurrey had liyed
in their beactiful, new home in.Tyler,
only threy weeks when death over-
, | took him. He is survived by his wife

Austin, September 18—Completing
the expansion Civilian Conservation
Corps enrollment by enlisting 14,819
Texas youths, district administrators
are now looking toward the October
enrollment when every additional-eli-
gible candidate in the state is ex-
pected to be given a chance to join
the CCC, State Enrollment Supervisor-
Neal E. Guy. has announced.
Not only will more new enrolles be
accepted, but present enrol lees may
remain in camps indefinitely, as man-
datory discharges have been discon-
tinued, Guy explained. “As long as
a person’s work and conduct are sat-
isfactory he will be allowed to remain'
in camps but an honorable discharge
will be granted him promptly if a
position is secured which will better
his condition.”
District administrators and case
supervisors have been instructed to
check their rolls, listing the number
Of unmarried youths between 18 and
28 whose families are on relief,
Guy again adyisfed all eligible boys
interested in joining the CCC to get
in touch with their district adminis-
trator or their county case worker.
In some cases, he said, applicants who
were rejected because of minor phy-
sics) defects* are now acceptable if the
defects have been corrected. :

You know I read a long time ago of
a little girl who had been taught by
her parents to set aside one tenth
of the pennies, nickels and dimes that
qme into her possession. One morn-
ing 'she was ready to go to church.
Her mother asked her if she had her
one-tenth x’eady. The little girl said,
’Yes, Mother, but that’s God’s anyway

let God have what is His own—I want
to GIVE Him something of my own,

All right,
TYLER IS AWARDED
ROSE CONVENTION
The 1936 convention of the Amer-
ican Rose Society which will meet in
Tyler, will probably ,be held just prior
to the 1936 Rose Festival, according
to A. F. Watkins, who is a trustee of
the society. Tyler was awarded the
meet at the 1935 session which was
recently hcltl in Rochester, N. Y.
Mr. Watkins stated that Tyler was
badly in need of- a local unit of the
society so that Die convention could
be staged properly next year. Mem-
bership is open to both commercial
rose growers arid to laymen. The 1936
Convention is the first to be held in
the South and will give southern rose
growers and fanciers a chance to at-
tend.
Upon receipt of the telegraphed an-
nouncement of Hon. I>eslie Florence
as District Attorney of the'-7th Judi-
cial .District, Gov. A'lred immediately
appointed to that office Hon. Frank
Benzoni, a young attorney of Tylip’.
The new District Attorney is a
young man of remarkable legal cap-
acity and his many friends here are
congratulating him on the appoiht-
ment. He was in nq sense an appli-
cant for the position and received the
appointment' from the Governor not
upon the basis of friendship, but be-
cause the Governor deemed him fully
capable of meeting the large respon-
sibilities of the post..
Mr. Benzoni is a graduate of A. &
M. College o? his native state of Ar-
kansas, of the class of 1934. In 1931 proportion oi uiese requests v»m icnvc
he came to Tyler and was associated ' . WPA n wide, latihfde
until a short time ago in the practice | WPA
of law with Judge Tom L. Beauchamp.
Thereafter, until his appointment Sat-1
urday, he was connected with the
legal firm of Glower & Sewell.
THROUGHOUT TEXAS
San Antonio, September 18—Hop-
ing to begin , a systematic, wrecking
of relief rolls in Texas within a week,
state Work’s Progress Administration
officials today were perfecting final
plans for the exeeutioiKof projects.
With State Director E. A. Baugh’s
report that Texas had requested a I
federal expenditure of $176,57(1,000 in J
the state, Administrator H. P.
Drought announced that the promo-
tional phase of WPA work is com-1
pleted. _ !
Works division staff members were
summoned to San Antonio to receive
instruction on the actual executions of
projects which have been proposed.
District engineering staff members
were called to state WPA offices
by Baugh last Friday and Saturday.
Coincidentally, women’s work super-
visors from the twenty Texas WPA
districts were convened for instruc-
tions from Mrs. M. K. Taylor, state
women’s wrirk consultant.
“We hopq to have men at work on
,the first $1,500,000 in .projects by
next week,” Baugh declared today.
“This represents the amount approved
-for Texas at this time by federal au-
thorities and will include work pro-
jects in every Texas WPA district.’’
Although the vast bulk of last-min-
ute projects rushed into the state of-
fice for approval last week made exftet
computations impossible at this time,
B&ugh explained, engineers reported
the 176 millions as the approximate
total approved by state examiners for
Included in the figure were 31
state-wide and mrilti-district propo-
sals asking approximately $95,940,000
in federal funds, Baugh reported. The
remainder of the total was contained
in local fu-bjects sponsored by agen-
cies in the various districts.
Federal approval of a considerable
proportion of these requests will leave

“TYLER ROSES ON
THE AIR” FOR TYLER
ROSE FESTIVAL
Tyler “Roses” went on the air Sat-
urday evening over KRLD, the Dallas
Tihies-Herald, tq invite the world to
the coming Rose T’Wtival—and to all
the festivities incident thereto. A
radio urogram by Tyner talent was
offered from 7:30 to 8\00 p. m., un-
der surfnsorshiw of HnroM J. Bryant,
Bob Haves and A. F. Watkins actine
in behalf of. the Tyler Chamber of
Commerce and the Rose x^estival
Committee, all three-of the gentTfejpen
being connected with vboth organic
tions. We haven’t a copy of the com-
plete program, though it was the
Editor’s privilege to sit in the studio
of KRLD and witness the performance
at its source. Vocal and instrumen-
tal selections were offered by Mrs.
George M. Murphy, accordianisf, Mrs.
E. A. Hilleary, soprano and by the
following distinguished and talented
violinists: Misses Ruby Lawrence and
Martha Christian and Nora Bryant
(whistler) and Mesdames Lee Powell,
J. H. Crutcher, Jr.,, and Mrs. Paul
Brush, pianist.
Many telegrams and telephone mes-
sages came not alone from' Dallas
people but from those in Tyler and
elsewhere. Mrs. Hilleary’s rendition
vocal of “Roses of Picardy” was one
of the high lights of the program,
the accompaniments were wonderful—•
and the1 violin numbers, single and in
ensemble, were, we should say, in-
comparable.
The “invitation address” was given
by Judge Galloway Calhoun—and he
invite the world 'by telling of the
'Tyler roses and Tyler rose-
fiends* Hie charmed with a word
picture of East Texas, its hospitable
and happy life, its scenes of content-
ment and the happiness abouhding
among its people as they pursue “the
even tqnor of their way.” Judge
Calhoun was at h.is best, quoting
poetry, giving salient points in the
Festival program for each day—and
in his invitation to the world to at-
tend. * ‘

Baugh pointed out. *
“Although 176 millions requested
obviously will be more than necessary

ployables on relief rolls', we have at-
tempted to secure allocation of enough
federal funds to MloW a proper lee-
way in the selectioii of projects when

said.
'‘Expenditure of such a huge sum

continued, “but it is to the interest of

“Old-age pensions could cost .Texas
taxpayers as much ' as $56,073,402
yearly if each of the 283,199 people
65 years of age and over received the
full $15 monthly allotment provided
for in the recent Constitutional
Amendment,” State Auditor Orville S.
Carpenter, said today.
At the request of Governor Allred,
Carpenter and R. B. Anderson, State
Tax Commissioner, prepared the re-
port “Cost and General Plan for Old.
Age Pensions.” Upon the Governor’s
suggestion it was mailed to members
of the Legislature September 10.
“Experience of other states has
shown that they have attempted at
first to take care of only those, ac-
tually in need of assistancef Re-
quirements made of applicants have
been with a view of eliminating those
who, although of eligible age, did
not actually need assistance. In this
way other states have greatly reduced
the costs from the amount necessary
.to pay if all persons of the required
age'had been included,” Carpenter
said.
“As there are 41,787 persons 65
years of age and pver' on the Texas
Relief Rolls, this apparently is the
minimum number able to qualify for
olcFage pensions. At $15 a month and
with 10 per cent administrative cost
added, this would be $8,273,826 year-
ly,” Carpenter Explained.
Carpenter believed the figure 62,933
most nearly represented the actual
number who probably would receive
old-age pensions, in Texas. He deter-
mined this figure by considering the
experiences of other states. If 62,933
people, in Texas 65 years of age and
over were to receive the full $15 a
month, the yearly cost to the taxpay-
er would be $12,460,734,’Carpenter
calculated. In this he included 10
per cent administrative expenses.
“The F'ederal Government, if funds
are available, will provide an amount
equal-to that spent by the State plus
5 per cent for expenses. This depends
upon approval of the Texas plan by
the Social Security Board in Wash-
ington. The Texas Legislature will
formulate a plan for distribution, and
it- will- decide-whether or- not tha full
$15 maximum will be used,” Carpen-
ter concluded.

Following is the comparative din-

ernment on September 8, the data giv-
en being as of September 1, for Smith
and those counties immediately ad-
joining. Certain adjoining counties,
it appears, made no report to the
Government in time to be included in
this report which is the first of the
present cotton year. These counties
are Upshur, Wood and Raines. For
the State as a whole 383,709 bales
were ginned in 1J)3B against 936, 768
ginned to the corresponding date last
year. This is due to the fact that
a drouth last year caused the cotton
to mature at a much earlier date
than it is maturing this year. The
outstanding county of the State, so
far this year, is Nueces county in the
lower Gulf Coast area—that county’s
ginning this year to Sept 1, is 66,106
