OIL COMMISSION FIGHT
One of the big- fights coming up before
the next session of tire legislature concerns
a separate oil and gas commission, which
would take regulatioh away from the
Texas Railroad com mission.
Probably the chief reason for the fight
is that Commissioners Ernest O. Thompson
and Jerry Sadle^ ran lor governor last
summer. Charges were made thht with
these two men running for office and Lon
A. Smith, the other member, in poor health
that there was little done for many months
to give the state an efficient railroad com-
mission.
State Senator Clint Small of Amarillo,
who retires next week, is termed the
“quarterback” of the movement for a
sqiiarate organization—and he says he
represents oil alone, not even the gas
interests.
Small was in the statq senate 12 years
and it would be interesting to know
whether he led any such fight for a
separate commission during the many
years he< was in office.
Anything that comes up at Austin is
tied up with politics. Whether oil is regulat-
ed by an elective or Ian appointive com-
mission, there* undoubtedly will always be
the issue of politics.
Many complaints are made that it costs
oil interests tens of thousands of dollars to
get action at Austin and that the lawyers
are in their hey dey. Charge^ have been
made that one ciannot get even a permit
The American’s Creed
I believe in the United States of America, as
a government of the people, by the people, and
for the people; whose just powers are derived
from the consent of the governed; a democracy
in a republic; a sovereign nation of many
verneign states, a perfect union, one and
inseparable; established upon those principles
of freedom, equality, justice and humanity
for which American patriots sacrificed their
lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country
to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey
its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it
against all enemies.— (The American’s Creed,
by William Tyler Page, was adopted by an
Act of Congress, April 6, 1918.)
for an oil well without attorneys appearing
in behalf of a simple application.
Should a separate commission be
established, don't look for too great an
improvement, for this is probably just a
fight of another group of politicians at-
tempting to run things.
A NEW CONGRESSMAN
No more will dispatches from Washing-
ton give news concerning Congressman
Marvin Jones, for this week he took the
oath of office of a judge of the court of
claims.
Our new' congressman is youthful Gene
W7orley of Shamrock, who succeeds Jones,
an able office holder for 24 years.
The good wishes of the Panhandle go
out to Worley as he starts on a career,
which will be interesting to observe with
the( passing of the years. As a congressman
has to be reelected every two yetars, he
must have his thoughts continually on his
district.
The 18th congressional district has a
young nlan who will work hard and who
will try to do the right things. The people
should do all they can to help him make a
good congressman. He will appreciate the
wholesome interest of thq 18th district in
his work.
Favorite gag these days:
shopping days to Christmas.

Ochiltree County Herald. If all
the figures are correct—and there
is no sound reason to doubt them
—prosperity is no longer around
the corner, but is here.
Of course, the thought at once
occurs that the county is lifting
itself up by its bootstraps. In
other words, by piling up debts for
national rearmament, it is spread-
ing lot of money around. But the
fact remains that this same money
is making airplane and munitions
factories hum and these in turn
are having their effact upon many
other lines of industry. The back-
wash of this reaches far and deep.
Curry County Times: In a
recent address, Holcombe Parkes
of the Association of American
Railroads, observed that attacks
on the American railroads would
undoubtedly be a prime objective
of saboteurs.
“Our railroads,” said Mr.
Rarkes, “more than any other
segment of our national life,
symbolize all that is Amerca—the
conquest of vas distances; the
mass transportaion that made
possible our mass production; the
Working of private enterprise to
provide a public service. In addi-
tion, our railroads represent the
backbone of our national defense.
. . . that is why our railroads
would be the target of the first
attacks of enemy sabotage.

Memphis Democrat: As you
have probably heard most of your
life an ordinary year consists of
52 parts, called in the manner of
our time, weeks.
The year 1941, which as you
have als0 heard, is already here—-
and it is going to have, from all
deports, more than 52 weeks.
Strangely enough, each of these
weeks, more than 70 in all, will
have a special name.
Just where all these weekB
originated is not exactly known,
but it’s hinted that some smart
Advertising men thought up most
of them. And then some of them
Were born in the minds of the
publicity agents for various
•organizations—at least that’s the
report.
Many of them you have heard
of. For example there’s Boy Scout
Week, whfn Scours over the
hation do something special to
point out the advantages of their
organization,

Moore County News:' Those of
us who groped for a key to the
problems of 1941 might do worse
than accept the one handed us in
President Roosevelt’s speech of
Sunday night.
The gist of it was that if we
want to save our hides, we will
roll up our sleeves and dive out
on the assembly lines enough
ships, planes, guns, bombs and
munitions to build up our own
-defenses and load up John Bull’s
'huapsack with enough “sbootin’
irons” to send Hitler to the
'Hinterlands.
Happy Herald: American
medicine, as an authority recently
observed, has a week spot. It is
not a weakness affecting the
patient, the sick mail or woman
anxiously seeking a return to
health. Curiously enough, this
weakness has helped the patient,
for the weakness lies in the fact
that the medical profession has
been so busy fighting disease in
experimental laboratories as well
as bedsides of the ill, that it has
found little time to tell the public
of its tremendous achievements.
The undeniable record is there
for all who wish to read it. And
it tells, through the figures, a
dramtic and inspirational story of
an endless battle against disease
and suffering and death.
The battle has won victory af-
ter victory. In the period of a
century and a half, in this coun-
try, the life expectancy of man
has nearly doubled—from 36 to
62 years.

White Deer Review. Fire is no
respector of age, value or use-
fulness. Aand fire’s worst ravages
lie in the destruction of things
which insurance can never re-
place.
We can defeat fire. We can de-
story the great destroyer. But to
d0 that calls for the cooperation
of every one of us. There should
be no slackers in the war against
fire.

Canyon News: Word from
Austin predicts that Governor
O’Daniel is toying with the idea
of running for a third term. He
was greatly • impressed .with the
campaign of President Roosevelt
for a third term, in spite of the
fact that the Governor gave no
assistance to the campaign. His
election is ihe first primary two
years ago, and his re-election in
the first primary has caused the
Governor to believe his popularity
is so great that he can break
precedents by runnnig for third
them. Hie visit with members of
the legislature this fall was for
the purpose of lining up senti-
ment for his program. If the
legislature falls in line and passes
his program, the Governor may
feel safe in making the bid for
a third term. The coming four
months will do much to determine
whether or not Governor O’Daniel
will again be a candidate.

Wellington Leader: Now comes
the season when the old year, its
record written, becomes a mere
small page in the book of eternity,
and when men look hopefully to
the new: year, always in the hope
and pray for better things.
It is the season when many a
vow is made personally to turn
a new leaf in the conduct of life.
That being so, here are a few
thoughts on resolutions.
The American people over-
whelmingly want peace, so they
can go on developing the Ameri-
can way of life without inter-
ference by anybody. The way to
insure that peace is to be strong
that none will violate it.
Let’s all resolve to do all in
oUr power to back up our govern-
ment in evevy endeavor it makes
to build up the defenses of the
nation.
McLean News: The oldest news-
paper in Texas is no more. The
9S-year-old Semi-Weekly Farm
News passed out of existence this
week. The passing of the Farm
news is like the passing of an
old friend. The laws of change
makes for different arrange-
ments iu the newspaper fra-
ternity, just as in other things,
but many will regret seeing the
News drop from the deeds of
men. Subscribers are being
taken care of by the Dallas
Morning News, published by the
same company, but will be a long
time before thoughts of the Farm
News fade from the minds of
thousands of Texas families.
