LAW ENFORCEMENT TO BEGIN
IN TEXAS
GOVERNOR ALLRED in his inaugural addreai* made it
clear that there is to be strict law enforcement m
Texas. "No citizenship can be happy, no benefits in govern-
ment can be worthwhile in a state where that government
is not respected," he said. "Perhaps the saddeat feature of
the past few years in Texas ... is the wholesale flaunting
of the law by a dangerous minority which does not typify
Texas . . . Primarily, it is the duty of local officers to en-
force law. As Governor of Texas it is my duty under the
Constitution to 'cause the laws to be faithfully executed.'
I am going to perform that duty."
Mr. Allred well knows there has been widespread dis-
respect for state laws. There has been a breaking down of
morality. Outstanding examples are seen in some counties
where saloons run openly, where houses of prostitution op-
erate under protection of local officers, where ""gambling
dens are winked at, and where all sorts of crimes are
hatched. Prosecutors have become discouraged, officers cor-
rupt and politicians in some cases have become the "pardon
peddling accomplices" of the criminals.
We l5ok f6r a new state police force to be organized
out of the rangers and highway patrol, perhaps. We loak
for strict enforcement of the law not only by the state offi-
cers, but by the local officers as well for they know they
have the support of the governor and the state in their
campaign. v ,1.
Thare are other delightful spots in the governor's ad-
dress in Austin, but , this law enforcement feature stands
out as the greatest of them,all. The good people of Texas
who are in the vast majority will welcome the new leader
of law enforcement and give him every bit of cooperation
possible.

; THE LAW AND COMMON SENSE
WHILE sticking as close" to th£ law and the constitu-
te tion as possible and practiealf^the United States Su-
preme Court, in its decisions, has always held uppermost
in mind the good of the country. Seldom have there been
decisions which have wrought disaster just to keep the laws
in line wth the constitution. r
Congress has the power to regulate the currency, and
that is what President Roosevelt asked Congress to do. But
many bonds were issued "payable "iff gold" and that would
mean $1.69 right now for each dollar promised. It is true
that the bond was a contract and courts require perform-
ance of contract.
Five cases involving the old program have been ar-
gued before the court. In three of them the plaintiffs con-
tend that their railroad gold clause bonds must be paid in
gold or the currency equivalent, $1.69 to the dollar. In an-
other they charge fourth 4'4 Liberty bonds called last
Spring should be paid-in the same way. The fourth suit
charges similar payment should be made on gold certifi-
cates turned in under the anti-hoarding orders.
The government has argued to the court thai none of
these claims should be upheld because they interfere with
congress' power to regulate the currency.
Naturally the financial structure of the country ser-
iously involved should the Supreme Court now rule that
gold must be paid. It means much to the country.

Prepare for Larger Harvest,
Says Allred in Centennial Plea
BUFFALO, Texas, Jan. 16. (U.R)
— Four leisurely bandits today
robbed the . Citizens State Bank
here of between $2,000 and $.1,000
and escaped in an automobile.
The robbers waited at the bank
until President Robert E. Bur-
roughs came to work, anil forced
him to admit them. Two remain-
ed on guard outside while the
others made the president open
the vault.
When < 'ashii'i 6. K. .lowers,
two state bank examiners and a
number of customers entered the
bank they were herded together
In a small room and told to "keep
quiet, this is a holdup.''
.Towers said the robbers went
about their business calmly, tak-
ing an hour and a half to com-
plete the job.
"We won't know exactly how
much they got until after a
check," he said, "but they took
between 12,000 and $3,000."
The robbers fled in a black
Ford coach with one door knob
missing and bearing a Louisiana
license. They started northeast
toward Palestine but subsequent-
ly doubled toward Houston. A
filling station attendant on High-
way 75, said he saw the car
speeding toward Houston several
minutes after the robbery.
.Towers said by the time the
bandits finished robbing the
vault, "twelve or fifteen of us
were lined up together in the
room."
AUSTIN, Jan. 16—(UP)—Gov.
James V. Allred today called upon
Texas to "prepare for the larger
harvest,"
In a statement to the American
Legion and Auxiliary, the Ameri-
can Legion Texas Centennial com-
mittee and the Texas memorial
museuVn comission, Allred aaid:
"We are beginning a year, rich
with possible accomplishments of
service to Texas.
"The eyes of the world will be
upon Texas tturing the next 12
months. This is an hour that calls
for the best in every man and wo-
man.
"Moving together we can set
Texas upon the pinnacle of the
states. Rich in resources, blessed
with climate, populated by the sons
and daughters of pioneers, strate-
gic in location, ^n empire in it*
own right, Texas faces a future
bright with promise.
"We have merely scratched the
soil. It is time for us now to pre-
pare for the larger harvest.
"Centennial year will soon be up-
,on us. We pause from our busy
tasks to commemorate 100 years
as a free people. Under six flags
including our own Lone Star, we
have come through 100 years of de-
velopment.
"Looking back across the dim
vista of the century, we can re-af-
firm the stout cry of our fathers at
the Alamo: 'We shall never sur-
render or retreat.'"
The governor told the legion and
other groups that they "occupy a
central place of opportunity in this,
the Centennial pra." ,

Officers at Tyler believed that
two kidnapers who abducted J. C.
McCracken and Forrest Panther
early today and stole Panther's
automobile were members of the
bandit gang.
The kidnapers were joined by
three companions on the highway
several miles southeast of Tyler.
The gang was traveling in two
cars, one stolen from their Tyler
victims. One was described as a
black Ford sedan with the Louis-
iana license number 137-976. The
other was a black Ford V-S with
a Texas license.

CONSTIPATION
Can be Helped!
(Usc what Doctors do)
Why do the bowels usually move
regularly and thoroughly, long after
a physician has given you treatment
for constipation?
Because the doctor gives a liquid
laxative that can always be taken in
the right amount. You can gradually
reduce the dose. Reduced dotage, vs
the secret of real and safe relief from
MMtlpation.
Ask your doctor about this. Ask
your druggist how popular liquid
laxatives have become The right
liquid laxative gives the right kind
or help, and the right amount of help.
When the dose is repeated, instead of
more each time, you take leu. Until
the bowels are moving regularly and
thoroughly without any help at all.
The liquid laxative generally used
is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It
contains senna and cascira, and
these are natural laxatives that form

SYRUP PEPSIN
AUSTIN, Jan. IB
day was "moving day" at 'Texas'
White House.
Mrs. James V. Allred, slender
and dark-haired, whose clear grey
eyes bespeak her elncerity, became
"first lady" in Texas and house-
keeper for all the state.
"I'm terribly thrilled," she said.
Then she added with diarming
frankness: "I'm juat a little scared
too."
Being "first lady" in Texas car-
ries with it the responsibility of
holding frequent open house af-
fairs, teas, parties, dinners. It
means that strange persons from
everywhere will peer into the cor-
ners of hrfr home, run their fing-
ers over table-tops in search of
dust, remark the quality of up-
holstering and curtains.
Capricious plumbing, leaky roofs
worn carpets and stairways pre-
sent other problems.
Mrs. Allred refused to be daunt-
ed. "First of all, I'm going to make
it a real home for Jimmy and the
children," she said.
She hopes to make the routine of
homelife in the executive mansion
the same as it was when she lived
In a little cottage op a dusty side
street as the wife of Attorney Gen-
eral James V. Allred.
"After all," she reminded, "I
was Jimmy's wife, and the mother
of Jimmy, Jr., and David, before I
ever thought of being the wife of
the governor of Texas."
For 80 year* "first ladies" have
come and gone from the executive
mansion with changing state ad-
ministrations. Each left the man-
sion some evidence of her person-
ality.
Mrs. Allred will make two dis-
tinct changes. For the first time in
♦ ** *
(UP)—To- many years the grand piano in the
rear drawing room at the mansion
will be tuned to the classics of mus-
ic. Long before young James V.
Allied "popped the question," Joe
Betsy Miller of Wichita Falls plan-
ned a career in music.
She majored in public school mu
sic at Southern Methodiat Univer
sity in Dallas, studied in Chicago
and New York. A capable pianist,
she also is a composer. She has set
to music a poem "Farewell to My
Country," which David Crockett
wrote before leaving his Tennessee
home for adventure* in the West.
The music was written at the re
quest of Mrs. Ben G. O'Neal, wife
of the state senator from Wichita
Falls, who suggested it be made
part of Texas' Centennial celebra-
tion.
Her favorites among the classic-
ists are Chopin, Liszt and Bach,
but popular music has a place on
her music rack, too.
Second change in the executive
mansion will be manifested in its
greenhouse and flower gardens. "I
want growing things in the house,
too," she has said.
For inaugural ceremonies Mrs.
Allred chose a silvery gown with a
dominant note of imperial blue—
her favorite color. She saw her
husband sworn in a* Governor of
Texas, his hand resting on the
Supreme Court's 100-year-old Bi-
ble. With him she will preside over
receptions tonight at inaugural
balls to be held simultaneously at
four places in Austin.
Tomorrow, for the first time in
four years, Texas' dignified White
House will be gay with the laught-
er and plans for four young Tex-
ans: Jimmie, Mrs. Jimmie, "Jim
Boy" and David.

Frozen Stiff,
Snakes Survive
NEW YORK, Jan. 16. (U.R)—A
dozen Gopher snakes arrived at
the Bronx soo from Texas—fro-
zen stiff.
The freezing was due to lack

Dr. Raymond L. Ditmw had
them thawed out. Eight survived.

and radishes. Farmers are offering
winter cabbage plants on the mar-
ket. Little preparation of land is in
evidence for the year. Government
leasing of farm lands continues
with some degree of success. Erec-
tion of farm buildings is alow, and
few have been started, under gov-

families have been returned to the

MEXIA GRAIN CO.
FLEMINGTON. Jan. 1«—(UP)
—Four more handwriting experts
piled up their accusations today
that Bruno Richard Hauptmann
wrote all 14 of the Lindbergh ran-
som notes. v
In an attempt to speed up the
testimony of Harry E. Cassidy,
Wilmer Souder, of the United
States bureau of standards, Albert
D. Osborn, and J. Clark sellers,
All of them agreed that Haupt-
mann wrote the ransom notes, and
that the scripts In those notes was
the same a* was contained in his
applications for an automobile li-
cense and In the handwriting sam-
ples he furnished police after his
arrest. in New York.
Osborn, a 40-year-old replica of
his distinguished father, added the
weight of his handwriting know-
ledge to six previous experts, and
declared, at the start of hi* testi-
mony, his conviction that the hand
that wrote the ransom notes also
wrote Hauptmann's application for
an automobile license and the "re-
quest" writing, done after his ar-
rest.
Disguised Writing
Like the previous witnesses, the
yoiknger Osborn testified to his be-
lief that the ransom notes were in
disguised handwriting, and that the
specimens of the prisoner's hand-
writing taken after his arrest also
were S part disguised.
Osborn has the build of an ath-
lete. He delivered his testimony
forcefully. Like his father, he has
made a study of script his life work
and with him stood *ide by side in
many court cases involving disput-
ed documents.
Osborn followed the outlines of
his six predecessors in explaining
his reasons for condemning the
Bronx carpenter.
Lighter Vein
Previously Cassidy, possessor of
an engaging southern drawl and a
sense of humor, had enlivened the
normally dull scientific testimony
by "wise-cracking" at the examin-
ing attorneys. But he had stuck to
his proposition, and refused to
waver under the cross-examination
of Pope, associate defense counsel.
Wilmer Souder, of the United
States bureau of standards, consid-
ered one of the government's great
est invest/gators of handwriting
and documents, had followed Cas-
sidy, and delivered a scholarly pro-
nouncement regarding his opinion
that Hauptmann tried to disguise
his handwriting when he composed
the ransom demands.

Five Million to
File Returns on
1934 Income Tax
(Copyright, 1935 by United Press)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 18— (UP)
—More than 5,000,000 Americans
will file federal income tax returns
this year, pouring $500,000,000 or
more of revenue into federal cof-
fers, treasury officials estimated
today.
As a result of recent revenue
legislation and the treasury's vig-
orous campaign against tax delin-
quents, gangsters and racketeers,
treasury officials estimated about
half the millions of forms placed
in the mails today would call for
payment of taxes. The returns are
to be filed by March 15.
Five million income tax returns
this year would set an 11-year
record. Last year approximately 4,-
800,000 returns were filed. The all-
time peak was in 1923 when 7,698,-
321 returns were filed. The highest
volume of income tax payments
was in 1010 when heavy war time
taxes brought in $1,269,630,000.
Affected by current income tax
returns for tha 1934 calendar year
are single persons earning $1,000
or more, or married persons earn-
ing $2,500 or more. Present laws
are not greatly changed from
those affecting the 1933 incomes.
Treasury officials estimated in-
come tax payments for the year
ended June 30, next, would amount
to $444,000,000, and for the fol-
lowing fiscal year to $506,000,000,
Along with the regular collec-
tions, they estimate back tax col-
lections in the current fiscal year
would bring $167,000,000 into the
treasury and for the following year
at least $173,000,000.
Corporation income tax pay-
ments are expected to increase.
Corporation payments in the year
ended June 30, next, are estimated
at $440,000,000, a gain of $119,000-
000 over the current fiscal year.

Protest Holding
Rotarv Meeting,

QUINCY, Mass., Jan. 16, <U.K
—Protests to the Rotary Inter-
national against holding their
annual convention in Mexico City
in June because of Mexico's stand
against the Catholic church have
been made by the Knights of Col-
umbus here through District De-
puty James Cavanaugh.
Cavanaugh lauded the Rotary
and pointed out that Mexico City
was chosen as the convention site
prior to the present anti-Catholic
situation there. But said pxoteats
resulted because Catholic laymen
' and priests who are Rotary mem-
bers could not, in justice to them-
selves or their faith, attend tha
convention.
-He called upon Knights of Col-
umbus members who are also
Rotarians to transfer the conven-
tion to some American city. *
