F ALFURRIAS FACTS
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 22 193*
Nobody's Business
By JULIAN CAPERS
AUSTIN—Oov. W. Lee O'Daniel
wants the people of Texas to “ad-
journ" politics because some Euro-
pean nations, 3,000 miles away,
have gone to war over trade and
ti - rlt' rial disputes, peculiar to the
continent of Europe and to the na-
tions involved.
The European war is not likely
to affect the politics of Texans, at
least not at any time soon. Analy-
sis of editorial opinion, and the
expressions of leaders throughout
the state, indicates that the senti-
ment of Texas people, like that of
people In other 8tates of the Union,
is fairly unanimous in favor of i>ur
keeping out of the European em-
broligo, and letting the affected
rations do the fighting. The forth-
coming special session of Congress,
if advance indications can be re.
lied upon, is likely to amend the
neutrality law so as to permt a
“cash and carry" system of sales
ol war materals and other supplies
to all comers who pay at shlpside
and haul away their own purchas-
es.
Of course, Oov. O'Daniel would
like very much to "adjourn” poli-
tix.s until after he is re-elected to
a second term, and let the folks
concentrate upon war in Europe.
But t<> most Texans, the war Is a
pretty remote affair. They are
pretty determined to stay out of It.
Its economic effects may be help-
ful to Texans. In fact, sharp in-
creases In the price received for
wool, mohair, beef, stocker cattle,
and hogs, have put Texas produc-
ers in a happy mood.
But before adjoumament of pol-
ities takes place, the folks are like-:
ly to ask Gov. O’Daniel some per-
tinent questions about $30 a month i
pensions for everybody, no new!
Taxes, a fact ry on every hillside,!
the sales tax, and several other1
things that Leon and the Hill-Billy
Band can’t answer wth a rendiiton

and this week they repaid the $5.- that starts out after some rene-

feature of LCRA policy is its use
of newspaper advertising to sell its
power, buying space in about 25
dally and weekly newspapers in Its
territory to tell the story of low-
priced power, just as the private
utilities have found the papers to
be the most effective method of
selling their product. For this In-
novation in publicly-owned power
policy, Oord«.n Fulcher, Austin
newsman and public relations ad-
visor to LCRA, is largely responsi-
ble.
Criminal Judge To Retire
Presiding Judge W. C. Morrow of
the Texas Court of Criminal Ap-
peals. has let it be known he will
retire in 1940, after many years of
sterling service on the State’s
highest criminal tribunal. State
Senator Clay Cotton of Palestine, a
former district attorney, and Lloyd
Davldsnn, of sulphur Springs, who
has been the State’s representative
before the same court for many
years, will be candidates for the
post, which will probably attract
several other candidates before the
campaigning begins next Spring.
Pension Racket Law Void

curb “pension rackets”, wherein
promoters seek funds from the old
gade Indians; and gets ambushed
at a water hole; while the Indians
pick them off, one by one. There
is also a Betty Boop cartoon and a
new chapter of Kit Carson.

West has been bitterly anti-Roose-

Senators as the reason for the re-

as the Daily Tribune. Jack Padgett,
