AUSTIN NEWS LETTER
By Representative Jesse E. Roach
With enough work favorably re-
ported by the 38 standing committees
in the House of Representatives and
the 37 in the Senate, the Texas Leg-
islature ended its halfway mark of
120 days Friday with enough work to
last for more than one year, from
the 1,200 bills offered. The ninth week
found the members of both houses
of the Legislature still wrangling as
to which member could be “wettest”
in submitting to the people of Texas
the proposition as to what method of
liquor repeal it would have them vote
•on about the fourth Saturday in this
coming August. The wets are still
demanding outright repeal with no
method of control in case the people
repeal it, only allowing them the lo-
cal option privilege. The supposedly
drys are demanding the submission
proposition be worded by this Legis-
lature so in case of repeal Texas
will not be thrown wide open and
the saloon cannot come back. Drys
argue that to forever kill the boot-
legger the private profit must be ta-
ken out of liquor—meaning the state
would dispense all liquors. This liq-
uor question will probably extend far
into this coming week.
$3,000 Homestead Exemption
The House of Representatives ad-
opted by a vote of 109 to 22, a res-
olution by Jasper N. Reed of Texar-
kana, calling for an election on a
constitutional amendment exempting
$3,000 of the valuation of all resi-
dence homesteads from all forms of
taxes, including state, county and
cities, and political subdivisions there-
of, except the school tax.
The amendment had attached to it
Uncle Bud Ownsby Gone;
Passed Quickly Friday
Death thrust in his sickle Friday
morning about 10 o’clock and quickly
cut down one of our oldest citizens in
point of years and residence in the
community in the person of J. C.
(Uncle Bud) Ownsby shoi’tly before
he reached his eighty-first anniver-
sary.
As he arose at the hour named Mr.
Ownsby suffered a heart attack, ask-
ed for someone to raise a window
that he might get air and shortly af-
ter that was done the spark of life
flickered and went out.
The news of his death was a shock
to the entire community and news of
it passed rapidly from one to ano-
ther until all were apprised of it.
The funeral of this pioneer was
held at the First Methodist Church
at 2 p. m. Sunday by Dr. C. S. Wea-
ver, pastor of the First Christian
Church of McKinney, assisted by the
Rev. LeRoy M. Anderson of Denison,
pastor of the First Christian Church
of this city; the Rev. O. M. Turner,
pastor of the First Methodist Church
of this city; the Rev. R. B. Evans,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of this city; the Rev. W. J.
Epting, pastor of the First Baptist
Church of this city, and the Rev. L.
T. Grumbles, Baptist minister of this
city. Every seat, both in the auditor-
ium and balcony was occupied.
Special music was rendered by Mrs.
Jack Smith of Anna and by Mrs. Guy
Bunch of this city, each rendering a
vocal solo in a beautiful and impress-
ive manner.
The last earthly tribute to this pio-
the property re-classification amend- neer was paid in a beautiful setting
ment and provided further that the of the most beautiful flowers that
Legislature cannot levy a general
sales tax. The re-classification amend-
ment would give to the legislature
the right to reclassify property, real,
personal and mixed, for taxation.
That is, if a farmer owned a home
it would exempt his home from all
forms of taxes except school taxes
and give the legislature the right to
classify the notes and mortgages
held on this farm by the big giant
loan companies and tax them instead.
It would also prevent the legislature
from levying a general sales tax for
supplanting the lost revenue. I be-
lieve this is the finest piece of legis-
lation ever offered in any Texas Leg-
islature. It shows that this legisla-
ture is composed in the majority of
a strong desire to help the forgotten
man. I hope this passes the Senate
of Texas, for it will encourage more
people to buy homes and enable them
to buy a home instead of renting.
General Sales Tax
of the most beautiful flowers
those who loved him could assem-
ble.
After the service at the church a
large concourse of people followed the
body to its last resting place beside
that of his departed companion in Ce-
lina Cemetery.
Pall-bearers were C. B. Smith, Jim
Glendenning, Mayor S. M. Francis
and W. J. Gearhart, all of Celina, and
U. N. Clary and Raymond Wilson of
Prosper.
John Campbell Ownsby was born
May 11, 1854, at Celina, Tenn. His
parents were James F. and Evelyn
Ownsby, the father a minister. He
came to Texas in his young man-
hood, working for a time as a farm
laborer at $15 per month, his first
engagement as such being with the
late B. F. Gearhart.
Unknown to this young Tennessee-
an, Miss Mary Ruth Stone, his child-
hood sweetheart and schoolmate, had
moved to this community. Learning
J-iissi.::; sjsssts j rSa- 'Ks™
has a resolution calling for a consti-
tutional amendment levying a 2%%
general sales tax and to exempt real
estate of all forms of taxation what-
soever, Much would mean that the
tall buildings in the cities of Texas
would be exempt from paying tax-
es, and that the man without much
means would have to pay a 2Yz% tax
on everything he purchased. I asked
“Uncle Elmer” if the legislature
Avould levy a general sales tax would
he raise the salary of his cowpunch-
ers on his big 8,000 acre ranch which
would be exempt from taxes if his
resolution passed. -His resolution was
killed by a 10 to 2 vote in the com-
mittee. The resolution calling for a
general sales tax by Rep. Alfred
Petsch of Fredericksburg, of a simi-
lar nature, was also killed by a com-
mittee vote of 12 to 2. Pope and West-
fall represented the two votes for
the resolutions. Other speakers for
he proposals were A. J. Swenson of
‘"amford. I asked Mr. Swenson on
oss examination what was the value
of his property in Texas, which
brought the following answer: “I be-
long to a New York corporation
which owns 237,000 acres of Texas
land and have 12,000 head of cattle
on it.” On further questioning he
stated last year they paid $45,000 in
taxes to Texas but if this amendment
passed they would be relieved of this
amount annuaully. He further stat-
ed, oil cross-examination, that this
corporation was capitalized at $1,000,-
000 and that all but $200.00 is owned
in New York. Other speakers were
larger land owners or represented
tremendous land holdings. Represent-
ative Harlee Morrison of Terrell, who
is always after the big boys, asked
Mr. Swenson if they ever tried to
break up this land into small homes.
Among those appearing against the
sales tax proposals were Joe Stead-
for his life companion and they set
up housekeeping on the site where
death overtook Mr. Ownsby last Fri-
day morning, about three miles south
of Celina. Her death occurred July
13,^1908, after they had labored to-
gether, sharing each other’s joys and
sorrows, for 27 years.
The surviving children are J. W.,
Lee and Ben Ownsby of Celina, W.
S. Ownsby of Cleburne, and Mrs. Ruth
Tate and Mrs. C. F. Choate of Celi-
na. All were present at the funeral
Garza Sheriff's Attorney
Given Federal Prison Term
Dallas, March 11.—A federal court
jury today convicted N. C. Outlaw,
west Texas attorney, and C. M. Loe
of conspiracy to obstruct justice dur-
ing a grand jury investigation of the
slaying of Narcotic Agent Spencer
Stafford at Post, Texas, Feb. 7.
Judge William H. Atwell sentenced
Outlaw to 15 months in the federal
penitenitary at Leavenworth and as-
sessed a $2,500 fine. Loe was given
a 12-months jail sentence but was
released on probation.
W. P. McLean, Outlaw’s attorney,
gave notice of appeal.
Outlaw, attorney for Sheriff W. F.
Cato of Garza County who felled
Stafford with a burst of machine
gun fire, was charged wTith bribing
Loe, a Post drayman, to testify false-
ly to the grand jury.
Loe was the Government’s star
witness. He testified that the attor-
ney offered him $500 to tell the grand
jury he saw the shooting, that he
saw an object in Stafford’s hand and
that a scuffle preceded the shoot-
ing.
Sheriff Cato and three others were
charged in connection with the slay-
ing.
Judge Atwell asked the defendants
whether they had anything to say
before sentences were passed.
Outlaw said he had no comment.
Loe said he had a wife and three
children and a dependent father. His
probation was on the condition that
he write to the U. S. District Court
Clerk every 15 days and give a de-
tailed report of his conduct.
“I make this difference in sen-
tences because of the attitude toward
the law taken by each of you and be-
cause of the sponger and weaker
mentalities involved which is recog-
nized in such cases,” Judge Atwell
said.
Federal court attaches said it was
the first conviction of a lawyer on
such charges in the history of the
Dallas court. Veteran lawyers said
they could recall no other similar
cases in Texas.
Request by Defense Counsel Mc-
Lean that appeal bond be set after
motion for appeal had been made was
refused by Judge Atwell.
Distsict Attorney Clyde O. Eastus,
who led in prosecution of the case,
said two indictments charging Out-
law with similar offenses would be
brought to trial at the next criminal
term at Lubbock. The term will open
there May 20.
Outlaw was charged on the other
two counts in connection with inves-
tigation of the Cato case.

F-r Signing 1935 Contracts
McKinney, Texas, March 12.—Pro-
ducers do not seem to realize that the
time for signing up 1935 cotton con-
tracts closes this week. There will
not be an extension of time as has
been given in the past except in ex-
tieme cases. Producers who signed
contracts in 1934 must renew them
this week or have their contracts
cancelled. In this case they will come
under the Bankhead Law, and will be
required to return all payment re-
ceived in 1934.
Men who did not sign last year,
but desire to sign this year, must
do so this week. All signing closes
everywhere Saturday night, Mar. 16
1935, in this county.

Money Taken From Safe
At B. H. Rucker's Store
When B. H. Rucker opened his gro-
cery store on the west side of the
square this morning it was discover-
ed that $14.82 had been taken from
the safe during the night.
The fact that the timber with which
the rear door was barred was remov-
,.th,er,e was nothing to show
that it had been done from the out-
side indicates that someone was se-
in th,e store when it was clos-
ed Wednesday night.
The safe combination was not on
and ail that was necessary to get to
the cash drawer was to‘twist the
knob. If anything else was taken, that
tact has not been discovered.

Bailey acting as W. M.
Uncle Bud, as he was addressed by
nearly all who knew him, acquired
in early days the tract of land on
which he had made his home for fif-
ty-four years. He worked hard and
wasted nothing. This, together with
intelligent management, enabled him
to acquire other tracts from time to
time until at his death he held title
to about 900 acres of fine land, all
surrounding his early home place.
He was a man who attended to his
own business, . always had a good
word for those of whom he had oc-
casion to speak and, despite the fact
that he was past fourscore, he never
lost interest in young people, always
having a kindly, encouraging word
