only an engineering problem I’ll
leave to others, say the urban
renewal people.
But the basic solution is there
for any city that wants it. It's as
good as any solution ever thought
up. in a city for the farm prob-
lem.

floor of a building. Take the
lane with the sign reading: All
16th floor traffic take this lane.
Sure enough, before you get in-
to the city p r o p e r you' U have
gradually climbed to the street
that serves the 16th floor. With
other street levels for the 2nd
floor, 3rd, 4th, etc., you could
get anywhere you want, with
plenty of parking room for
everybody. I can prove it.
Take any smalltown in Amer-
ica and if the stores don't go
above one story, there's always
plenty of parking room on the
streets. What the small towns
have discovered and the cities
haven't is that it takes one street
per floor in this modern automo-
bile age. Most backward thing I
^Ver heard of, adding on more
floors without adding on more
streets. How can cities continue
to overlook something small
towns discovered years ago?
Of course, there are a few
technical flaws in this, like
making sure the 16th floor of one
building is the same level as the
one across the street, but this is

cision to lower the land com-
pany's value to $16. 50 per acre,
the Commissioners did call in
the Tax A sse ssor-Collector,
Willie Bean in and sought to get
him to approve the settlement.
To Willie's credit he refused to
go along with this sellout of the
people's interest. His was the '
only voice raised in behalf of
the small lan downer, and his
voice does not count. Long ago
this Commissioner's Court has
decided to set the tax policy of
this .county with no regards for
the duly elected Tax Assessor-
Collector’s views. Here was the
naked truth. Willie Bean was
fresh from a 4 to 1 mandate from
the people of thiscounty to stand
up for the welfare of the people.

He stood there, but he stood
alone. His 4 to 1 majority at the
recent election made no impres-
sion on the members of the
Commissioners Court. But the
wishes and desires of the com-
pany lawyers did.
Our Commissioners Court was
eating out of the Corporations’
hands. They called the tune,
our Commissioners fiddled and
you and I will have to pay the
fiddlers as well as the large cor-
poration’s just share of the tax
burden.
Some of the apologists for
every twistand turn of the Com-
missioners Court's a-ction have
been pretty hard put to find de-
cent grounds for an apology. No.
one now has the gall as to claim
that our taxes have been equa-
lized. No, I believe that this
newspaper has seen to it that
that old chestnut won't be
bought.
But they have come up with
the company claim that the large
land and oil companie’s must
have special tax treatment if the
companies are to stay in busi-
ness. Yes, that's what they are
saying now.
Did they ask you if you could
afford a tax raise? They did not
ask me. In fact, they laughed at
me when I suggested that I was
unable to assume the land com-
panies' share of the tax burden.
They told me my valuation de-
pended on what my property was
worth-not what I was able to
pay. There must be some ex-
planation better than that offer-
ed why the little taxpayer should
be taxed more than his share
while the large corporation
should be let off the hook.
If we had persons representing
the people of this county on our
Board of Equalization, they
would demand to see the books
of these companies.
God created the land and he
created mankind to enjoy it. No
one has suggested, at least up to
now, that corporations should
haveperference over man in en-
joying God's creation.
Everyone knows that the com-
panies' spokesmen are convinc-
ing. Eve ry one knows that the
great unorganized common peo-
ple have no spokesmen except
through Democratic elections.
And, of course, it is easy to un-
derstand that the elected offi-
cials who have just taken one
seaton the Commissioners Court
from the true winner, may feel
secure from the wrath of an
aroused electorate. But, this we
can be sure. The people are at
the point where they will not
take much any longer. We are
tired of electing officials to rep-
resent us and finding that the
lions are lieing down with the
lambs. The people of this county
will not be denied their just
rights.
The people's eyes have been
opened. This is the great thing
that the citizens of Hardin Co-
unty have to be thankful for this
Thanksgiving.
