so it seems that a little
advice on our political
aid have been cruelly slapped with
smaller checks. We must do
something.
My Inexpert advice Is to break
up these huddles. Let both groups
admit -the Impossibility their pet
plans and see if they cannot work
out some common sense way oi l
solving the problem.
Here are a few free suggestions:
First: Abolish the pernicious
practice of requiring a' Texan to
buy the right tio vote. Retain the
poTJ tint, fcy sit- means. * -
ged. Seaehem retirement |
and help for the blind: and one
tftlng beyond a doubt. Is' the
people of Comanche and, Mills
Counties need than 1.000-pound
truck law abolished. This law has
been a major problem of the fruit
growers and cattle raisers. Texas
has one of the lowest load limits
of any State to the Union and
produce and more cattle and fruit
tp be hauled by truck than al-
most any StAte. That law, my
friends, must be corrected and
going to Austin to vote will not
get the Job done: you’ve got tp
have the guf* to fight. .■

Comanche. Saturday. May 11th.|
and to the meantime will be ex-
peettng ytfer cards and letters ex-
pressing your ideas as they will be
of great help to all of us.
