C, T. “Pete” Matthew, De-
Witt county’s state repre-
sentative, made a rather po-
tent statement to Cuero
Lions a lew days ago when
he declared ... “a govern-
ment is as good as the peo-
ple who elect It”.
“If the people will demand
good government when they
go to the polls they will
get It.”
The apathy of the average
man on the street as to the
way his state, his nation, is
being operated is pitiful.
We are going to get in the
operation of our govern-
ment, only what we demand,
and it is high time we start
demanding.
Waste and corruption is
growing at a speed beyond
belief. And we sit and chew
our nails and say nothing.
The problem is our Mr.
and Mrs. Texas . . Mr. and
Mrs. America and nothing
is going to be done about It
until we do it.

To help farmers survive
a nuclear attack, county a-
gents are being supplied a
booklet "Defense Against
Radioactive Fallout on the
Farm.”
“While those on the farms
and ranches are not in the
critical target areas," warns
William L. MeOUl, state co-
k online tor of defense and
disaster relief, “many would
be critically affected by ra-
dioactive fallout in the ev-
ent of an enemy nuclear at-
tack. This pamphlet, U. S.
D. A. Bulletin 2107, is an in-
valuable aid to rural survlv-

downwind from the target.
Generally speaking this
catilld cover an area 140 miles
long and up to 20 miles in
width. Several factors de-
termine the area where fall-
out would seriously threat-
en lives of persons and live-
stock; altitude of bomb
burst, power and design of
bomb, wind speed, etc.
The closer to earth that
the explosion takes place,
the greater will be the fall-
out because larger quanti-
ties of soil, rock, and debris
are drawn up into the as-
cending cloud. After mixing
with the highly radioactive
material, particles fall back
to the earth with the great-
est hazard existing during
the early hours following the
explosion. The radiation
hazard decreases with the
passage of time because the

BIG SURPLUS
PROSPECT FOR
CUT IN TAXES
Tax Revenues Of Nation
HH A New
High
By VINCENT 4. BURKE
United Frees Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 20.~<UP)
-A 31.649,000,000 federal surplus
for fiscal 1957 left a big question
mark today over prospects for a
tax cut next year.
Administration officials and law
makers found both good news and
bad In the final figure* on federal
income and outgo for the fiscal
year which ended June 30.
The good news: Tax revenues
held up better Ilian anyone ex-
pected, soaring to 370,989.000,000
3363.000,000 over the adminis-
tration January estimate.
The bad newt: Total apendlng
at 369,344.000.000 rose even fatter,
exceeding the January eatimates
by 3444.000.000.
Moreover, administration offi-
cials acknowledged that apendlng
would have gone much higher ex-
cept for aome lucky circum-
stances. For one thing, the British
government decided for the time
being not to draw any of a 3400 -
000,000 loan which the adminis-
tration had figured the Treasury
would have to pay out last spring.
The administration has foreesat
a federal surplus of 31,800,000,000
for the current fiscal year which
began July 1 31.200.000.000 less
than the surplus moat tax experts
agree is needed for • major tax
cut.
The uptrend in lax revenues, If
continued, could provide a sur-
plus of that size this fiscal year
ovldtd the ' administration
achieves Its “hope” of holding
spending one billion dollars be-
low the 371.800,000.000 it has bud-
geted.
However, the rise in spending
during January-June made it
clear the administration will have
a tough time trying to prevent
spending this fiscal year from
equaling or exceeding 371,800,000,-
000.
