ologists say was made not later than

The Sinews of War
By Victor Schoffelmayer
Agricultural Editor
of The Dallas News
mHE farms and ranches of
A Texas are still producing a
breed of people whose patriot-
ism, courage and faith nave no
superior.
The indomitable spirit of the
Alamo, of San Jacinto and Ta-
rawa still permeates the wide
open spaces where for a century
Texans have enjoyed the free-
dom won by their heroic fore-
bears.
The devotion and sacrifice of
thousands of Texas farm and
ranch boys on the farflung bat-
tle fronts in Europe and Asia
will serve as a challenging pat-
tern to their fathers, mothers
and sisters on the home front.
As their Country again calls
for aid in the coming War Bond
Drive, Texas farmers and ranch-
men will not fail to meet their
responsibility to the full. No
group knows better that a sure
way to stop inflation is to invest
a substantial sum in Govern-
ment War Bonds, thus not only
providing its Country with the
sinews needed to carry the war
to its ultimate success, but as
a hedge against the uncertain-
ties of the future.
The men and women in rural
Texas who have given their
sons, husbands and brothers to
the war effort will not fail them
in this perilous hour. They will
meet their responsibility not
only only as patriotic, loyal
Texans but as loyal Americans!

To the Citizens of Lamar County:
I hereby make known to you that
I am a candidate for the office of
County Clerk.
I was born and reared in Lamar
County, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. L. Anderson. I am a gradu-
ate of Howland High School, Paris
Junior College, and East Texas State
Teachers College of Commerce. I
taught school in the county five
years, two at Midway, and three at
Direct. Aside from my teaching ex-
perience, I was employed by the War
Department for over a year, and in
this work I certainly feel that I bet-
ter qualified myself for the position
for which I am kindly asking you
to elect me to.
I am a very ambitious young lady,
wife of a soldier, who also was a
Lamar county boy, and I feel it my
duty to do the very best that I can
here at home while he is doing his
best over there. I know of nothing
better or more honorable than to
serve you, the citizens of Lamar
county as your County Clerk. If I
am elected, I shall serve you effi-
ciently and very gratefully.

allow a maximum of $40 per month Old Age Pensions instead of
$30 per month as now authorized. This increase can be provided
with revenues now produced by the Omnibus Tax Law and there
still would remain annually several millions surplus. With your
support of me at the polls and my work for you in the Legislature
’nay we all hope to bring about the results proposed.
Respectfully vours to serve,

As a candidate for Representative of the 38th District, com-
posed of Lamar and Fannin Counties, I now state my attitude on
the subject of Old Age Pensions:
In 1935 the voters of Texas adopted an amendment to the
Constitution authorizing state aid to the Blind, Dependent Child-
ren, Teachers Retirement and Old Age Pensions. After several
years delay the Legislature in 1941 passed the Omnibus Tax Law
to provide funds for these four groups of citizens. From a recent

Mrs. Roy Coker who will be re-1 bus Clearance Fund the following allocations were made: To The
membered as Miss Lorene Pettit, re-j Available School Fund $14,836,234; to the Blind Fund $470,000; to
cently left for Durham, N. C., to the Children Fund $1,500,000; to the Teachers Retirement Fund
1 $3,593,170; to the Old Age Assistance Fund $17,371,658; to the Texas
Relief Bond Fund $1,092,146. Then after certain allocations were
made for administrative purposes there remained in the Omnibus
Clearance Fund a surplus of $20,536,612, which balance was trans-
ferred to the State General Fund. From this report it can be
readily observed that sufficient revenue is now being produced
by the Omnibus Tax Law to pay off in full the four groups of citi-
zens specified in the constitution, including $30 per month for
every Old Age Pensioner in the State. However, the Omnil
Tax Law as passed finally in 1941 under article XX, sub-sectior
limits the amount of money that can be alloted each month fi
the Omnibus Clearance Fund to the Old Age Assistance Fund,
which represents about 60 per cent of the amount authorized by
the constitution. The voters of Texas expected the Legislature
to provide the necessary funds to pay every Old Age Pensioner
the full $30 per month without discrimination when they adopted
said constitutional amendment and I believe the mandate of the
voters should yet be met. A question is never settled until it is
settled right and Old Age Pensions should be adjusted on a more
with her husband’s parents, Mr. and j equitable .and humane basis. As a member of the next Regular
Mrs. Oral Courtney at Grandview,; Session of the Legislature I would introduce a bill to strike out

I passage of such a law and full payments made these citizens there
still would remain from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 surplus annually
in the Omnibus Clearance Fund, which balance could be transfer-
red to the State General Fund. By January 1, 1945, the State
General Fund will be out of debt with a considerable surplus be-
Then there will be no good reason why the Legislature at
