WASHINGTON USES
IIIIHL SPEdlLATIOI
Austin, Tex., Dec. 27. (UP)
—Gov. James V. Allred was
en route today to Washington
leaving Austin full of political
speculation.
Announced purpose of the
trip was a consultation with
representatives of the Federal
Social Security Board “with
reference to various aspects of
the Social Security Law in Tex-
as.”
Politically-minded Austin
thought the trip might also re-
sult in other conferences. Suc-
ceeded topich were many. All-
red has been selected to make
the Jackson day address at Bis-
mark, N. Dak. It waa thought
he would consult with nation-
al leaders on topics to be dis-
cussed.
Allred has been mentioned
repeatedly as a possible ap-
pointee to a Federal judgeship
and every Washington trip re-
vives Buch a report.
Accompanying Allred to
Washington was Secretary of
State Ed Clark, who originated
the Allred-for-third-term
movement, and Orville Car-
penter, State Director of Un-
employment Compensation.
Members of the unemploy-
ment compensation commission
were absent for the holidays
so no statement for the prob-
lem requiring a conference at
Washington was available.
The commission force now is
being expanded to a personnel
of about 900 to handle the
claims that will be made dur-
ing the new year.

POIL TAXES PAID
Center News, Monday.
Shelby county voters must
get a move oh if the list
reaches the estimated 6000
tickets to be counted in the
1938 elections, according to
the report from the office of
Tax Assessor-Collector John
D. Windham. With only a lit-
tle more than a month to go
the number of poll taxes paid
in the county is less than 500.
To be exact just 384 receipts
for poll taxes have been issued
to date. There are approxi-
mately 1500 exemptions to be
accounted for. This leaves
over 4,000 polls to be paid be-
fore Jan. 31 if the usual elec-
tion year voting strength is
polled.

Washington, D. C-, Dec. 27.
—When the special session
was called six weeks ago, it
became evident from the first
that Congress was in a mood to
assert its pre-New Deal inde-
pendence. Business wanted re-
lief from an ill-distributed tax
burden and some assurance of
lettable 'go vernment policy tcP
ward labor. Labor factions,
factions, engaged in an internal
row, demanded clarification of
laws affecting collective bar-
gaining. Besides this, the
longer-standing problems of
relief, reorganization of gov-
ernment departments, region-
al planning, balancing of the
budget, and a threatening for-
eign situation all called for
timely, intelligent action.
The four-point legislative
program presented by the
White House which had been
prepared during the relatively
serene summer months failed
to click with Congressional in-
dependents who were in no
mood to tune up the ink-pads
for another rubber-stamp ses-
sion. But the working leader-
ship both in the House and
Senate was faced with the
many-horned dilemma of hav-
ing to cling to the President’s
"Must” schedule, throttle op-
position moves and if neces-
sary stall for time until de-
pendable majorities could be
swung solidly behind a more
up-to-date governmental policy
to combat the politically omin-
ious “Roosevelt Recession/

rates, easy credit, and recom-
mended consolidations. Public
utilities may be given a breath-
ing spell, and the present tax
structure will be modified to
relieve “middle-sized” busi-
nesses of their present oppres-
sive burdens.

Why Wilkins Bought a Safety Razor
a7 IRVIN S. COBB
pSt'M the lowlands a special judge waa sent up to the Aikaajas noua-
1 tabu to try a lot of murder cases growing out of a desperate and
bloody fend. He took with him as his official stenographer e young
man from Utile Bock, who dressed smartly and, in strong centnut to
the silent mountaineers, did quite a good deal of talking. For eosveai-
race let os call him Wilkins. ’
On kb first Sand ay morning in the mountain hamlet Wilkins felt
the need of a shave. He had no taxor and them was no regular barber
in the town; but he leaned from the hotelkeeper that there was an old
cobbler living a few doors sways who sometimes
Wilkins went to look for the cobbler. In a T
elderly native with straggly chin whiskers and a l
chap got out an ancient razor from somewhere, stropped it deliberately
and was soon scrapping sway on the patron's Jowls. Wflkiaa felt the
desire for a little conversation stealing over him.
"This iz a mighty lawless country up here, mn*t it?* ha began in
the way of opening up some conversatkn. _ *

“We dent gin’rally speak of ’em as murders,” said the old man in
a tone of gentle reproof. "Up here w* just calls ’em kilim's.”
*Td call ’on maiden, all right” said Wilkins briskly. “If shooting '
a man down in cold blood from ambush isn’t murder, than I don't know
a murder when I see one, that’s aD. When was the last man killed, **

-Why, last week,” said the patriarch- —

WHAT IS MEANT BY A BANK’S
CAPITAL AND SURPLUS?
The “capital” of a' bank is the amount id money the
stockholders have invested as owners of the bank.
The Federal and State governments have minimum
capital, and frequently subscribed surplus, require-
ments that must be met before a bank charter b
issued.
In addition, the "surplus” of a bank is further
built up, for the most part, oat of earnings set aside
to increase the protection of depositor*.
In addition, there are reserves for meeting known
liabilities or guarding against contingencies.
The capital, surplus and undivided profits consti-
tute an element of protection to a bank’s depositors
which supplements its policies of sound, honest
management in safeguarding the funds entrusted to
its care and applying them in useful loans end in-
vestments.
