Walter Harris
Our dear beloved; gone from our pre-
rence but not forgotten. His work on
earth is done, and he was so patient
with the trial.
He was born in Corinth Mississippi,
in 1679; his age is 56 years. He was
married to Miss Jociflne Turner in
1899, and to them were born two
children, Gertrude M. Harris and Willie
R. Harris.
He gently fell asleep March 11th,
leaving behind his faithful and devoted
wife, daughter, little grand-daughter,
Kathryne, and a host of friends and re-
latives to mourn his loss. He was
laid to rest in the OakTawn Cemetery
Friday at 10 o’clock. Pallbearers were
Messrs. H. C. Black, Vance Kilpatrick,
Jess Thompson, Bob Ragan, Jack Kyle,
and Terry McLeod.
So we commend him to his Heavenly
Father, who doeth all things well. To
know him was to love him. He never
thought of self, always thinking of
others.
There Is never such a day so lonely,
But God can make it bright,
Ar.d unto the soul that trusts Him
He giveth songs in the night.
There is never a path so lonely,
But God will show the way,
If we seek the Spirit’s guidance
And patiently watch and pray.
Help us to help each other, Lord,
Each other’s cross to bear;
Let each his friendly aid afford
And feel a brother’s care.

Mrs. E. L. Rice
Mrs. E. L. Rice, 71, died at her home
near Milano Monday night, and was
burled Tuesday at Prospect, Elder Dan
ad valorem tax rate for 1936 has been
reduced from 77c to 62c, a total rebel
of 15 cents. This was done through
policies advocated by Mr. James in re-
ducing the expense of the government
and shifting the burden to those inter-
ests who have not heretofore been
bearing their just proportion of the
costs of government.
Mr. James advocates an Old Ag?
Pension in accordance with the terms
of the Constitutional Amendment voted
by the people.
Under the rule of promotion Mr.
James should succeed to the Chairman-
ship of the Committee on Taxation in
the next Legislature. This would give
him a commanding positon to serve not
only the people of his district but the
people of the entire state.
The following statement was issued
by Mr. James covering his announce-
ment:
"To the people of the 65th District:
"Responding to the many inquiries
that have been made, I herewith sub
mit to my friends, the people of the
65th Flotorial District of Texas, my
candidacy for re-election to the Hcus<
of Representatives.
"I have always measured my con-
ception of a representative in terms Oi
honesty and conscientious endeavor tc
truthfully represent the best interest
of his state in the Legislative halls oi
Texas. To that end I labored unceas-
ingly as a member of the 43rd and 44th
Legislatures " stherance ol
that end I h '.dilate myself tc
a program of . vindeavor and hard
work in the in tc nisi of the people t‘
Milam, Lee and Burleson counties.
"As a member of the 43rd and 44th
Legislatures I was constantly opposed tc
the levy of additional taxes on the act
ual necessities of life for the reason
that in its final analaysis such a tax
would be an additional burden upon
that class of people least able to beai
it. I have not brought myself to the
belief that the necessities of life, the
actual links which bir>d us to existence,
should be further hazarded by the levy
of additional taxes. In the 45th Legis-
lature, I shall continue my oppe>sltion
to tax measures on necessities of life
“I favor an Old Age Pension Law
written in the language of the Consti-
tution; giving it to every man and wo-
man in Texas, who has lived here the
required time, and and who is 65 years
cf age, who is not a habitual drunkard,
nor a habitual criminal and who is not
an inmate of a state supported institu-
tion. These men and women who have
passed the 65th milestone are the sur-
vivors off a noble people who made and
built Texas. These men and women
have done their part. It is not their
faul that the time has come when it is
hard for even the able oodied, brainy
business man to make a living. These
men anu WOnieii utroC i"Y c the IHOdCSt
pension voted them by the noble peo-
ple of Texas last year. They have
earned it and I want Texas to honor
herself by paying it. I wrote and .pass-
'd through the House of Representa-
tives a bill <H. B. 46) providing for
the Immediate payment of the Old Age
Pension.
‘‘At all times I have given a listening
ear to the voice of the laborer and have
acted consistently to further the labor-
er’s interest, believing that the govern-
ment should function for the majority
of the people rather than for the ma-
jority of the capital.
"I wrote, with the assistance of ot-
hers, and pushed through to final pas-
sage a resolution calling on each mem-
ber off the Legislature to disclose the
names of all corporations or associa-
tions, if any, that give them a retainer
fee. This of course, is to reveal the
corporate connections of members of
the Legislature. You can find this in-
formation in House Journals.
“I wrote, with the assistance of ot-
hers, the present chain store tax law,
introduced and pushed to final passage.
“It Is a well taken axiom of logic
that the longer one serves in the Legis-
lature the more efficient servant one
may make. T do not propose by this
statement to offer to perpetuate myself
the following committees: Revenue and | is now open for bualneJe in these new
Taxation Vice Chairman; Labor, vice | quarter*. With tlie added facilities and
chairman; oank and banking; oil, gas j easnferta of ihr new office. I feel tha?
I can give you better service in the lu-
aud Mining, State Affairs; Highway
Motor Traflic; State Eleemo&enary, and
Public Health Committee. If re-elect-
ad to the 45lh Legislautre, I will, of
course, as a member of these commit-
tees, be in a position to deal in your
behalf with the most important prob-
lems to confront the law making body
I resi>ectfully ask your vote and support
as a candidate for re-election.
Sincerely Yours,
JESSE JAMES

Bill Alex Bonds, one of the most com-
petant and popular public officials
Milam county has ever had, this week
makes his announcement for re-election
to a second term as county tax asses-
sor and collector. Mr. Bonds says:
To the voters of Milam county:
With a grateful heart for the gen-
erous support given me by you two
years ago, I now announce my candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for a second term as tax assessor and
collector of Milam county.
By your favor, after two hard-feught
primary campaigns, I was elected to
the office of assessor and collector and
am now serving my first term in that
office. In keeping with the time hon-
ored Democratic oustom, I am asking
for a second term .
As you know the consolidation of
these two offices into one office became
effective during the term which I am
serving and I have had the responsibi-
lity of setting up the office system and
organization to carry on the duties oi
the consolidated office. I have tried to
do this in a way that would serve the
people efficiently and well.
Because of the experience gained
during this term, I feel that I am in a
position to give you better and more
satisfactory service for another term.
The Commissioner’s Court has re-
cently provided new quarters for the
tax assessor and collector in the base-
ment of the court house, and the office
lure than you have received in the past
and I desire another term in which to
demonstrate to you my gratitude and
appreciation for your past generosity.
I assure you that your vote and in-
fluence in my behalf will be deeply and
sincerely appreciated.
Gratefully yours,
BILL ALEX BONDS
