“The cattle buying program by
the government helped. The <h-ought
also assisted in keeping up the price.
But I predict that when production
in this country gets bark to normal
that you will see a great reduction in
prices if the terms of the present Ca-
nadian agreement are retained and
enforced.”
The Texan said government statis-

was 10.65 cent* when the Canadian
agreement became effective in Jan.

and that the average monthly price

with 10.93 in 1935.

This marathon can, by no stretch
of the imagination, be termed legiti-

have banned such endurance conteHs
as morally and physically degrad-
ing.
The promoters of this exhibition
have been arrested, plead guilty ami
were fined. Why have they not been
forced to close down an exhibition
that outrages the moral sense of the
whole community? It could he done
by getting out an injunction and
forcing tho show to close its doors.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 20.—Harold
L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior,
vigorously championed President
Roosevelt’s Supreme Court, prpposal
in an address Friday night to ;a joint
session of the Texas legislature.
T|je State Senate earlier in the
month overwhelmingly condemned
the Roosevelt recommendation and
the House refused to adopt a resolu-
tion of either denunciation or praise.
Ickes was interrupted frequently
by appiausls from the galleries as he
defended the Rooseevlt proposal as
the only way of putting the new deal
program into effect in the next few
years.
Rap< Amendment Method.
“Some of you probably would sug-
gest that Congress submit a constitu-
tional amendment to bring about
change,” -he said. “How long would
it take for the legislatures of the var-.
ious States to ratify such an amend-
ment? The child labor amendment
has been knocking at the doors of
legislatures far- thirteen—year*- and
hasn’t been adopted yet.
“Didn’t the people vote for the
new deal during the next four
years? Are they willing to wait
twenty?”
Ickes warned his listeners that
“Democracy cannot survive if it can-
not function properly and no democ-
racy ean function properly if it is
constantly ‘hamstrung’ by decision*
of the Supreme Court.
“We must reform the judiciary
and bring it within speaking dis-
tance of modern times,” he said. “In
these days, when issues develop so
rapidly, we can’t wait forty or fifty
years to go forward.”
Ickes also defended the National
Government’s oil conservation poliey
notwithstanding advice he said he re-
ceived from some of his friends not
to touch this subject.
“The Federal administration has
never wanted to run the oil busi-
ness,” he said, “butjt has been an-
xious to co-operate with Texas or
any other State to conserve its oil j
and market it in an orderly man-
lier.”
S«y« Prorfttion Helpful.
He commended the sound oil pro-j
ration policies of the Texas Railroad
Commission and congratulated the
Legislature ami the Commission for
their sharp curtailment of natural
gas wastage.
“As a result of conservation meas-
ures put into effect in East Texas
by the Railroad Commission,” he]
said, "experts have raised their esti-j
mates of the recovery from that
field by 600,000,000 barrels. With j
oil selling at $1.27 a barrel, you can
figure for yourself what that will
mean. And I believe oil is going
much higher.”
“The Federal Government has seen
to it that illegal oil has not moved |
in interstate commerce. That has.
been the sum total of the Federal j
Government's contribution.”
The chapter hoard adopted resolu-
tion* saying “the wounds created by
the war between the States should
not be freshened and the deed* and
act* of this army officer^ should not
be glorified.” A general boycott
was hinted..
Other Opponents included Mrs.
Mary C. Goudeloek, matron of the
Confederate home; Mrs. Helen Wil-
liams Coxon, State legislator, and
Mra. Herbert Fay Gaffney of Colum-
bus, president of the Lizzie Ruther
ford U. D. C. Chapter.
On the other side of tho question
was McWorty Milner of AtlanSta,
commander of a Six-State division ot
the Sons of Confederate Veterans. .
“I don’t believe creating a fight
will do us any good," he said.
At least one Confederate joined
him. J. T. Milner, 94, advised to let
the dead past bury its dead.
Genera! Sherman campaigned
through the heart of the South, with
the strategy of cutting off Confed-
erate supplies.
At Washington Roy M. North of-
the Cost Office Department, himself
a Georgian, said protests were great
for sales. Jue added that the depart
meat will issue other stamps next
next month honoring the Southern
leaders, Robert E. Lee and Stone-
wall Jackson.
