chamber of commerce, has born

Great Plains Highway association,
snonsor of the Great Plains route
from Canada to Mexico, according
to a bulletin received at the local
chamber of commerce office. Sum- j

work is progressing on grading from
Guthrie, in King county, south to
the Stonewall line. Grading has
been completed from Guthrie north

line at Portal. North Dakota, to the
southern end. at Brownsville, re-

almost as much as he does with vo-
ters and officeseekers.

afternoon.
J. T. Williamson was called from
his home to introduce the candidate
because, as he said, ’’everybody else
local address before filling an en-
gagement at Santa Anna.
"This pamphlet," he said, holding
dhe in the air, "tells you and me
how to cook reindeer meat and yet
there is not a reindeer in the Uni-
ted States unless a pet or in a pub-
lic park. But in it there is some
useful information. Here it says the
meat should not be put in the skil-
let until the skillet Ls hot.’1
“This pamphlet." he said, holding
another aloft, "tells how to nurse
babies. It was written by an old
bachelor in Boston. Mass.” Another
pamphlet referred Jo by Mr. Jones
dealt with how to make baby romp-
ers, how to make house dresses and
how to cook mutton.
The candidate referred to his op-
ponent several different times dur-
ing his address. "Mr. Blanton has
proudly referred to himself as the
watch dog of the treasury,” he said,
“and yet he has watched it until it
is depleted. In my opinion we need
a hunting dog." Mr. Jones also re-
ferred to the amount of money that
has been paid Mr. Blanton and
members of his family and severe-
ly criticized the practice of congress-
men putting relatives on the public
payroll at handsome salaries'while
millions of people are Walking the
streets hungry.
“The Texas nepotism law prohib-
its a president of a School board,
who serves his community without
pay, from employing his daughter
as a teacher.” Mr. Jones said..“and
yet congressmen, drawing $10,000 a
year, have placed members of their
families on the public payroll. I
was astonished to learn that our
own congressman has a member of
his family drawing $3,000 a year
from the government.
“The mere fact that a Texas con-
gressman crosses the state lirte does
not give him the right, in my opin-
ion. to disregard the law that the
people of Texas have enacted. This
practice ought to be stopped. It is
one of the things that has made
government so high that taxes have
become almost unbearable to the
people. If I am elected I can save
you this $3,000 I know because my
two children are too young to be
placed on the pay roll.”
In condemning the practice of
congressmen in sending campaign
matter through the malls at the tax-
payers’ expense. Mr. Jones said:
“A Congressman is paid $10,000
a year in salary and he ought not
to expect the people to finance his
campaign for re-election, too. One
congressman four years ago sent out
760,000 pieces of mail and the pub-
lic paid the bill, which was about
twice as much as his year’s salary.
This is nothing short of an outrage.
“The failure of Congress to vote
a reduction In the pay of its mem-
bers while urging economy for ev-
erybody else is very regrettable.
Congressmen should set an example
during this present emergency by
voting to cut their own salaries in
half."
“Jydse Blanton has been on the
payroll 22 years. We taxpayers have
paid him $180,000.00 already, not to
mention thousands of dollars paid
to other members of his family."
Mr. ^qnes went from here to San-
ta Anna for an afternoon address.
He expected to rest at his home
Sunday before invading other parts
of the big district in the interest of
his campaign.
