NOBODY'S BUSfNESS
BY
JULIAN CAPERS, JR.
AUSTIN—Speaker Coke Steven-
son named his 35 important commi-
tees in Texas House of Representa
tives this week-end, and the ponder-
ous machinery of democratic gov-
ernment made ready for action.
During the next three and a half
months it will grind out the laws un-
der which Texans will live during
the ensuing biennum. It will raise
{40,000,000 or more—and appropri-
ate the sum to the various agencies
and departments of government to
conduct the budgeted departments
of government.
* * *
Besides the routine of financing
the government by taxes, the solons
must determine conclusions upon a
dozen or more major issues of poli-
cy. Included is the liquor problem—
probable submission of repeal of the
amendment, and consideration of a
method of regulation of the traffic
if prohibition is wiped out in law,
ns it already has been in fact thru
Texas. A bitter fight against resub-
mission is indicated before the a-
mendment ever gets to the people—
if it does. With Governor Allred
pledged to resubmission (although
personally dry himself) and the
Democratic state platform likewise
ton record for passing the problem
back to the people, the prospect is
that an old fashioned prohibition
campaign will resound through the
hills of Texps by the Fourth of July.
* * *
Youth is having its fling in Texas'
New Deal in State Government. Dy-
namic Jimmie Allred is 36; Attorney
General Bill McCraw is 39; Lieut-
Governor' Walter Woodul is just en-
tering the 40's; Carl Nesbit of
Mineola, the new Adjutant Genera!
is in his thirties, Ernest Thompson,
railroad commissioner, is stit! in
the early 40's. The elder statesmen
are still represented on the Railroad
commission by Commissioner Lon
Smith, in the Comptrollers office
and the General Land Office. The
Legislature, as usual, has a generous
sprinkling of youthful members.
* * '*
Gov. Allred, the cynosure of all
eyes at present, has taken a leaf out
of the Book of President Roosevelt
in his relation with the newsmen
)who cever the Capitol. The Presi-
dents happjy relations with the news-
hawks in Washington is traditional,
and is largely responsible for his ex-
cellent press. Gov. Allred has adopt-
ed a policy of holding his daily press
conference promptly at 9:30 without
name was read out. This quilt may
never warm my body but it has and
will always warm my heart.
This quilt bears the names of my
friends and came from a community
that I feel very sure that all present
were glad that I received the quilt.
My prayer is that I may meet those
who have their names on this quilt, in
the sweet beyond where death never
comes. Thanks.
W. M. Thomas.
GENEROSITY OF JESUS
^vould be a: Ranger. Gov. Allred and
his aides handle the job-hunters sua-
,vely, but firmly. There have occur-
red no untoward incidents such as
ithe "bawling out" that Jim Ferguson
gave the assemblage after his wife
took office two years ago, when he
bruskuely told us to go to work.
This story has no particular !egi&
lative significance, but here it is:
Two gentlemen, well-known mem-
bers of the third house (the lobby-
ists) were discussing a freshman
(member of the House who had prov-
ed a bitter disappointment to them.
Quite frankly, he told them he fav-
ored certain legilation they opposed
and they had understood his vote
^against could be counted on.
They were discussing him in a
hotel lobby.
"If Huey Long had a half-witted
brother, he would look exactly like
that guy," ventured one of them.
"Oh no, he wouldn't," remarked
the other. "If Huey Long had a half-
witted brother he would BE that
guy."
* * *
A veteran East Texas representa-
tive was reading the mimeograph-
ed summary of new bills introduced
at his desk in the house.
He came upon a bill proposing a
tax upon certain luxury items, in-
cluding perfume, cigars and snuff.
"Who introduced that?" he de-
manded, suddenly all attention.
He hastily consulted the sheet and
learned the snuff tax! bill was sign-
ed by another East Texas legislator.
"Can you imagine a guy with no
better political sense than that?"
"Living in East Texas and offer-
ing a bill to tax snuff. He ought
to include black bass and fox-
hounds and Model T Fords, tco, if
Ihe wants to be sure and retire next
election."
At the Methodist church Sunday
night, the pastor will speak on the
subject, "The Generosity of Jesus"
and the following Sunday night the
"Chivalry of Jesus" wilt close the
series of sermons on the "Character
of Jesus" that was begun sometime
ago. We have had a number of ex-
pressions of appreciation for the
series thus far and requests to go on
to the end of the series. This! we are
doing gladly. It is a wonderful priv-
ilege to preach the gospel and the
study of the Character of Jesus is one
of the most thrilling subjects of all
the Bible.
Our Sunday School last Sunday was
some improvement over the Sunday
before but we were not ail present
last Sunday. Let's try to be there
next time.
The improvements on the church
building are not quite completed but
are paid for as far as we have gone
and we will finish the paint job at
least before we quit and then will be
ready for the dedication.
Our young people go to Oakwood
Friday for their district meeting and
I hope that they all have conveyance
that wish to go. Let's help to see that
they do. Call Mrs. Baine or the pastor
if you can help.
Invite your friends to come to
church next Sunday and at other
times. The gospel will not reach
them unless they hear it.
The public is cordially invited to
tworship at the Methodist Church.
J. Carroll Cooper, Pastor.
There will be no preaching at Mt.
Zion next Sunday, as the Presiding
Elder will be at Mt. Zion the second
Sunday in February. There will be
services at the church in the morning
and afternoon. Everyone has a spec-
ial invitation to come and bring lunch.

Lord.

Dr.
Speaking of children and
susceptibility to tuberculosis,
John W. Brown, State Health Of-
ficer, said! "Few people realize that
babies and young children are very
likely to catch tuberculosis if they
are kept in the rooms with people
who have the disease use the same
dishes, sleep in the same beds or are
handled and kissed by people who
Without attempting to pass upon
the merit or otherwise of the bil!
which has been introduced by Sena-
tor Wagner of New York and Rep-
resentative Lewis of Maryland, pro-
viding for a national system of old
age pensions, we believe that the
'great majority of Americans are in
hearty agreement with the funda-
mental principtes involved.
Wd know of nobody who is not in
favor of soma effective system of
providing for those whom in old age
lare unable to support themselves in
decent comfort.
We believe that the plan of build-
Sng up, during an individual's work-
ing !ife a fund to which the worker,
the employer and perhaps the State
pre contributors, which will provide
an annuity for old age, is the sound-
est possibly way of accomplishing
this end. It removes completely any
possible stigma of pauperism, which
is inevitably attached to gratitous
grants of unearned benefits.
As to what amount of such pen-
sions should be, and whether the
compulsory retirement age should be
60, 65 or 70 years, there is a great
[diversity of opinion.
There is much to be said for the
[voluntary annuity system proposed
,for the self-employed, whereby the
{farmer, the doctor, the lawyer or
any one who is not attached to a
payroll, can place a small part of his
or her income in trust with the Gov-
ernment from year to year, to accu-
mulate until the retiring age is
reached, when an income for life
may then be derived from the accu-
mulated fund. We understand such a
system has been employed in Eng-
land for more than two hundred

have tuberculosis.
Babies and young people pick up
the germs of tuberculosis just as j To the hopeful elderly persons who
readily as they pick up the germs of been looking forward to imme-
,measles or whooping cough or any of oM-age pension checks from the
other of the so-called children's dis-
ease. But tuberculosis is different
from other diseases in certain parti-
culars. Unlike most diseases, it has
more than one form. Babies who get
tuberculosis may not show the symp-
toms we associate with the disease
{in older people. But the disease in
&nost cases develops lapidly and is
likely to end fatally. Tuberculosis in
babies and young children is a very
serious matter, but recent studies
Shave shown that if young children
pre removed promptly from contact
with the disease and given the neces-
sary care, many lives can be saved.
"A great deal can be accomplish
fail. No matter who may be waiting ^ whenever tuberculosis develops
or in the office the newsmen know
they have carte blanche to crash the
gate to his office when the dock
strikes. Smilingly, Jimmie meets
them and answers all questions.
The press conference during the
Ferguson regime had declined until
they were nat held once in two weeks
sometimes. Usually, Governor Jim
was on hand, and did as much talk-
ing as the Governor. With certain in-
dividual newsmen, Mrs. Ferguson had
[fairly cordial relations; toward others
"whose papers dealt harshly with her-
self and Jim, she was bitterly an-
tagonistic.

Job-hunters stil! haunt the capi-
tal. More than 3,000 have applied

[der the present setup. Every vet- The man who relies on himself i*

whether in young or old, if the pres-
ence of the disease is recognized
when it is in its early stages and if
medical attention is secured prompt-
!y.
"Tuberculosis doesn't just hap-
pen. Nobody is bom with the dis-
ease. Everybody wno develops tuber-
culosis gets it from some other source.
Children and young people who
have been in contact with persons ill
with tuberculosis are especially like-
ly to contract it."
Finland is the only nation which
has paid her war debt in fu!l and on
time. Does anybody remember, by
the way, which side Finland was on
in the Great War? No, you're wrong.
Fin!and was on neither side.
Government, the bill as introduced
offers little solace. Provision is
made for joint state and federal re-
lief for those who are practicalty
destitute, but the age at which this
relief shal! begin may be placed as
high as 70 years. This does not bring
much comfort to those in their six-
ties who have been led to believe
there was a chance of getting {200 a
month right now.
At any rate the Wayne-Lewis
bi!! is a start toward a goal at which
Ithe nation, sooner or !ater, must ar-
rive.
Business concerns that have en-
joyed a prosperous business year
after year have been constant ad-
vertisers.

convenience the world would suffer
