: and then, to

tests in other State - notably Illinois.
The strongest point in tavor of the resolution,
however, is that which recommends that high-
way construction and maintenance Be provided
for by “an adequate tax to bo derived from the
sale of yasoline and motor fuel."
The State has during the past few years, it is
true, been contributing to the highway program
a fund derived from a tax imposed on gasoline
and auto vehicle license; but it is equally true
that property owners, bonded and taxed, are
bearing their proportionate share of these gaso-
line and license imposts. And it is further true,
that counties and districts, out of local taxes, had
contracted a considerable portion of the highway
mileage of the State before either State or Fed-
eral aid becomes part of our policy.
In the case of these highways, they are in the
main intra-county roads at the time of their con-
struction. With the increase in motor traffic
they became next inter-county roads, and today
many of them may be considered national routes
of traffic.
Where, formerly, loads were instituted for the
use of those who, by taxation, incurred the ex-
pense of their building they are now, generally
speaking, dedicated to the use and benefit of
those who, in their original construction, incur-
red no expense whatever.
The proposed plan looks, ultimately, to the re-
lief of the land from increased taxation—a bur-
den that rests with ever-increasing weight on the
already burdened shoulders of Texas’ chief source
of income—agriculture. It recognizes the prin-
cipal of a just system of taxation—a civic virtue
we cannot boast so long as railroad corporations
are taxed to aid in building highways to serve as
roadbeds for their motor-driven competition; nor
so long as the lightest user of State highways—
the farmer—must pay a disportionately large
share of the expense.
It may be several years before the Constitu-
tional Amendment necessary to place the East
Texas Plan in effect is passed, but it is economic-
ally sound in that it places the expense of our
State highways on the users thereof, and, ulti-
mately, it will be adopted. The resolution fol-
lows ;
Whereas, we realize that permanent road con-
struction, maintenance and a connected system
of highways, is one of the most important ques-
tions with which we have to deal; and,
Whereas, the method now employed under the
present system of financing, the burden of which
falls largely upon land owners in counties through
which these highways traverse, many of which
are sparsely settled and undeveloped, and who are
unable to finance their portion of the construc-
tion; that there is now, and always will be, im-
portant gaps which render continuous travel im-
possible, thereby causing expensive stretches of
highways already constructed to be practically
useless as far as through travel is concerned;
and.
Whereas, It is highly important that this con-
dition be remedied by the immediate construction
of missing links of all important highways; and,
Whereas, We fully realize that permanent road
construction and maintenance is a national and
state problem, and that the burden of further

Diminishing returns in taxation may rt
from excessive rates. There is a point in
form of taxation beyond which it is unwis
proceed.
There is no reason to hold a tax to be* a just
tax, . imply because we do not feel itr It may be
undermining the economic structure upon which
we are depending for a livelihood.
File canons of taxation cannot be ruthlessly
violated without eventually causing harm to the
tax payers. As for the tax spenders, they can
eldom be depended upon to reduce the burden.
Paternalism —What Does It Mean?
How many people understand the real mean-
ing of paternalism in government?
Paternalism means fathering or mothering.
In government it means the assumption by the
governing power of .a fatherly relation to the peo-
ple, involving strict and intimate supervision of
their business and social concerns, upon the the-
ory that they are incapable of managing their
own affairs, says Webster’s Dictionary.
It is a well known fact in family life that the
child which is dominated and controlled by the
parent so that its own initiative is killed, reaches
maturity under a great handicap and unfitted for
the struggles and problems of life.
The same rule holds good in government. Where
private initiative and enterprise are killed by of-
ficial control of the individual or operation of his
business, the citizen lacks spirit and ambition,
and the nation stagnates and degenerates into a
helpless political subdivision.
Paternalism and public ownership of industry,
with resulting destruction of private initiative
and enterprise, are foreign to the principles upon
which our government was formed. They should
be rejected by our people, when proposed in what-
ever form by persons socialisticall.v inclined and
who would undermine the right to private prop-
erty and to private development of industry in
this nation.

“Governor Dan” has been charged w’ith speed-

with these pestiferous cops in the matter of a
little harmless speeding, of course.

UNCLE JIM SAYS:
STOMACH UPSET
Youo aren’t feeling right, can’t enjoy a meal;
Stomach's all upset, It’s rocky how you feel;
You can’t eat this, and you can’t eat that;
Nerves all jumpy, don’t know where you’re “at.’’
Don’t need a new stomach. Just need nerve relief.
Chiropractor'll do that beyond belief.
