“We fight not to enslave*

to make room upon the earth
for honest men to live in."—
Thomas Paine.
The Wichita Daily Times Sun-
day had this to say regarding the
petition of newspapers in the
present time of emergency:
The Dallas Journal Quits
With the suspension of publica-
tion of the Dallas Journal, Dallas
becomes one of very, very few
Mties in its population class to
he served by one morning and one
evening paper. Current trends in
the newspaper business support
the prediction that the number of
sUch cities will increase. Last
tion has been set for April 8, 1942,
by the Supreme Court at Austin,
Texas.
The 47th Legislature passed
what is known as H. B. No. 161
reorganizing the 30th, 90th and
97th Judicial Districts of Texas,
which would place Young county
in the 90th Judicial District with
Stephens county, and Wichita
county would compose the 30th
Judicial District, and which act
provides that it shall take effect
after or on January 1, 1943.
The Act makes no provisions as
to where the citizens of Young
county entitled to vote, shall cast
their vote in the July primary
election and the general election
in 1942 for district judge and dis-
trict attorney. It does provide
that the district judge and dis-
trict attorney of Stephens coun-
ty, shall serve as such for Young
county after the taking effect of
the Act and that district judge
and district attorney of Wichita
county shall serve Wichita county
from and after the taking effect
of the law, January 1,-1943.
Henry J. Anderson. Jr., of Wich-
ita county, candidate for district
attorney at the July primary elec-
tion, presented his application to
be placed on the official ballot of
Young county at the July primary
election 1942, to the chaimmn-r»f-
the Democratic Executive Com-
mittee ftt Young county, which
was refused by the chairman, on
the grounds that the candidates
for office of the 30th Judicial
District composed of Wichita
county under the new Act would
in no way serve as such in Young
county, and that the voters of
Young county should npt be per-
mitted to vote for the candidates
for office of the 30th Judicial Dis-

Jury panel is also being ■select-
year there were ^bponuwf^1 comiV term of court
newspapers to cease publication*
Irt all probability that number will
be equalled this year. All news-
papers, .large and small, are being
squeezed just now between rising
production costs on one hand, and
the loss of advertising revenue,
due to war-time restrictions on
many products, on the other.
This condition exists at a time
. when the number of newspaper
publishers would -like to expand
their facilities, improve their serv-
ice to their readers. The ot^er
world war waa helpful to Ameri-
can journalism in many ways;
This one is due to deal harshly
with them. ^

the regular meeting Friday: The' Aptrj‘ ^,rst' Wednfday
program was under the direction
of Pat Bryan.

inger and Bradford from Bryson.

and Rev, Downing with H. L#.
Thornton.
Election of officers for the com-
ing year will be held April 17,
President Koen announced:"
I. T. Gilmer closed his term as
program chairman with this meet-
ing. He introduced Pat Bryan
who introduced Mr. Carlton Smith,
former director of the business
administration department of
Hardin-Simmons university and
now assistant sales director of
the Southwestern Life Insurance
Co. His talk on “Inflation” dealt
with the possibilities of inflation,
what it means and how it can be
avoided to some extent. His defi-
nition was “condition wherein pur-
chasing power is made available
\o the public faster than goods
can be produced or manufactur-
ed.” More money is in circula-
tion than can be used because of
the freezing of various forms of
buyiftg which consists of the nor-
mal consumption of the American
public. One way to fight inflation
is Jo buy defense bonds and keep
paying taxes even though they
increase. He suggested that all
club members write senators and
congressmen asking repeal of the
•tO-Kolir week,., stop non-essential
spending, stop excessive war prof-
its- and to cooperate in those
things for the betterment of the
country. In the short time in
which to cover the heavy subject
assigned Mr. Smith did an excel,
lent job and was congratulated by
the entire club on bringing the
subject in such a manner that it
could be understood by the aver-
age man.
If there are those who have
these licenses, please take them
to the local office,of the highway 1
department in the court hoaae •
where they will be renewed for
the period necessary for applica-
tion for new ones.
All operators are requested to
make application for the pew li-
cense NOW, and not to wait until
the last minute as all licenses ex-
pire in 1942 and must be renewed.
