SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 1939. THE PARIS NEWS, PARIS, TEXAS Lectures Of Mrs. Davis Are Praised Paris Stores Commend Work Of Training Director of Mrs. Beatrice M. Davis, training director for distributive education, before em- ployes of Paris merchants have been well rejeived, a survey of business men showed Saturday.

All were high in their praise of the work she is doing here. Mrs. Davis' services are free to Paris business concerns. Her work is carried on under the sponsorship of the state board of education. Tiie Paris school board is sponsoring her appearance in Paris, where she is to remain during January.

She is slated to return here again in the spring. Her lectures 'before Paris business house employes are purely advisory but all who have her lectures agree she has a sound understanding of personnel direction and salesmanship. Mrs. Pnvis appeared at Perkins Brothers company Tuesday morning at a store-wide meeting of employes Shi lectured briefly on salesmanship and merchandising practices. Mrs.

Davis is to appear before Perkins' employes again on Tuesday morning. She will also make two more appearances at that store, Tuesday, January 24, and again Tuesday, January 31. Mrs. Davis and hsr work were lauded highly by Herman Coker, manager of the Perkins Brothers company store here. "She is doing a fine work and knows what she is talking about when she appears before employes.

Mrs. Davis has a wonderful and pleasing personality and there is no doubt she is A Valiant Officer Seeks Promotion doing a wonderful among the employes of business firms of Paris," Coker said. She has also made several other appearances before employes and business men of the city, including a meeting of shoe dealers and their employes at the Famous Shoe store Thursday night. This 'was a city-wide meeting of shoe dealers. Mrs.

Davis will lecture before this group each Thursday night during her month-long stay here. "Mrs. Davis is certainly doing a fine work here and I know we shoe men are glad to have her services available and I feel we nre getting a lot of good out of her lectures," Glenn Edwards, manager of the Famous Shoe store said. Budget Floyd Moore in presenting his formal announcement to the citizens of Paris, seeking election to the office of city marshal at the April 4 election, asks a fair consideration of his claims for promotion in line of duty. Born Feb.

17, 18fl6, in the then Indian Territory, near Tishomingo, he worked with an oil drilling crew for nine years. He responded to ihe call for men to make up a local unit for World war service at Duncan, and went with the expedition to France where he saw plenty of service. For the past years he has been ri city policeman where his close application to the study of crime prevention and apprehension of criminals, plus his unquestioned fearlessness and broad sense of fair play, fit him well for the discharge of all duties incumbent upon the city marshal. While he is comparatively a young man (43) he is well seasoned jnd to give a progressing city the kind of administration needed. He is a man of exemplary moral habits, highly esteemed by friends who know him best.

(Political Adv.) (Continued From Page One) dent from a mere gavel pounder and diner-out to one of great power and prestige. Nothing like it ever has happened before. Certainly he is the most popular man in the party. But the president is still the most popular man with the people. has the confidence of more members of both house and senate than any other man, because he has dealt fairly and honestly with them of their party or their different political views within his own party.

In politics, confidence is about all you can go he has that. But confidence is one thing and the great power and prestige of the office of president of the United States is another. Especially is this true when the president happens to be an exceedingly personable a man who has demonstrated that he is master of most situations he has been forced to face. Congressmen tell you they don't know where "this thing" will stop. They admit that it must stop "some time." They confess that the spending of 16 billion dollars to "solve the depression" has left it right where it was as far as unemployment is concerned and much more vulnerable to inflation, repudiation and chaos than ever before.

But they do not have the nerve to try to stop spending money. Only a few have the nerve to advocate a tax bill that will get receipts up to these newly considered necessary expenditures. By the same token, the president seems to be almost the inevitable candidate of the Democratic party for president in 1940. As congress has no answer for the spending program, Democratic congressmen also have no answer to the question as to xvho is to be the party's candidate in 1940, but Roosevelt. They appear to look upon his nomination as inevitable thai Ihey would like to shove away as Caesar did the which they feel is futile to attempt.

Despite all the efforts of others to get control of the 1940 Democratic convention, some of the so- called conservatives admit that the P.oosevelt men, the United States marshals, the collectors of internal revenue, the federal job holders from every section of the nation, will be the people who will constitute the delegates to the convention. They will tell you here that when the favorite sons are get their lukewarm cheers, somebody will step to the platform and place in nomination "our peerless leader, that great liberal, Franklin Delano Roosevelt," and the stampede will be on! It is a surprise to find that so feel exactly this way and many express it in almost the same language. They do not want him. But they feel as impotent' against him as they do against the spending program, or an adequate taxing program. It is more prev- alent, apparently, this time than before the 1938 elections.

Nobody is going to shoot Santa Claus until Santa Claus goes to picking dad's pocket after he fills the stockings by the fireplace congress is not going to tax anybody until it is driven to do that is not going to be until after the presidential elections of 19-10.

R. L. MORRIS Sales Representative, Duncan Coffee Co. Lawmakers Brace For Inaugural And O'Damel's Demands For Funds Due AUSTIN, Tex. Coasting through a week-end recess, Texas lawmakers braced themseves Saturday for a mammoth inaugural celebration and its Governor W.

Lee O'Daniel's demands for revenues to support his gigantic old age pension program. Members hoped that Wednesday morning the new governor who has kept them in the dark, would lift the curtain on plans for taxation to finance his promised $30-a-mon(li pensions (o all over 65 years old, regardless of (heir wealth or destitution. Already some bills have hit the legislative hoppers proposing a two per cent sales tax designed to produce in excess of $40,000,000 additional annually to pay the constitutionally limited $15 state pension. But, O'Daniel has condemned the sales tax plan. Several proposals would drastically alter the present old ngc assistance act.

One would place the paying of pensions entirely in the hands of county commissioners courts. Two other would saddle the burden solely on county judges. A number would eliminate the ability of children to help their aged parents from consideration of pensions eligibility. Another would levy a one-cent tax on every bottle or glass of beer consumed to provide funds for expanded pensions. More than 175 bills and 20 proposed constitutional amendments have been filed for introduction ami consideration.

Among those filed are a large number dealing with complicated changes in criminal and civil statutes and designed to simplify court procedure. A glance through the files reveals bills to: Put teeth in the drivers' license law; revise credit union and mutual insurance association regulations; transfer $3,000,000 excess funds to the highway department from the board of county and district road indebtedness; establish an R. O. T. C.

unit at the University of Texas; Create a self-governing Texas bar; appropriate $20,000 for enforcement of anti-trust laws; revise freight rate laws to eliminate alleged discrimination; eliminate employes hauling farm products to market from coverage unemployment insurance; changing the Texas planning JDoard to the state planning and industrial commission and extending its life; Venereal Diseases Requiring medical certificates for women, certifying they had no venereal disease, before issuing them marriage licenses; extending remission of taxes to Jirn Wells, Jim Hogg, Brooks, Kleberg, Willacy and Duval counties, to be used to protect Corpus Chrisli from storm disaster, from 1946 to eliminating permits for merchant-owned carriers transporting the merchant's goods; Would Lift J. T. A. C. Enforcing safety regulations for mine workers; regulating building contractors; creating a state department to regulate public utilities; raising John Tarleton Junior college to senior college status; compelling persons in accidents to report them to the nearest police station; refunding gasoline taxes to cities and towns; Kidnaping Making kidnaping punishable by death; making escape from jail or penitentiary a felony with a penalty of 10 years imprisonment; prohibiting the sale of beer where public dancing is allowed; requiring registration of firearms; broadening the Jim Crow law to provide separate compartments Negroes; creating civil service- for state employes; taxing salt $1 per iong ton; collecting automobile ad valorem taxes simultaneously with issuing of license and prohibiting purchases by the state from anyone not a U.

With the Horton brothers were Mr. and Mrs.

D. G. Busby and William Pickrell, all of Greenville. The two Horton.s and Pickrell were accompanied by girls whose names were not learned. They had driven out the north highway, and had turned to start back into Paris.

The brothers are son.s of Mr. and Mrs. Wade R. Horton of Greenville and nephews of the late Fred Horton, who was publisher of The Greenville Banner and postmaster there. Mr.

and Mrs. Horton were notified soon after their son brought to the Sanitarium of Paris, and funeral arrangements were incomplete pending their arrival early Sunday. Thomas Wayne Horlon was graduated from Greenville High school, and for several years had been employed as pressman at the Bland Printing company in Greenville. (Continued From Page One) In August, 1938, the counjy commissioners' court appointed E. L.

Myers as special tax attorney to collect delinquencies. Or. November 23, Myers filed the county's first suit in the current drive to the back taxes. It was against the King Candy company, ct nl, to collect $359.72 due on property at 25 Twenty-first" street. Many Others Ready Numerous other suits have beer, prepared for filing since that time, Whitten disclosed, and tlieyo arc now to be directo I against those owing cies.

Considerable time is taken in preparing a suit for filing, ne explained. Since Myers has started his work as special tax- attorney Whitten said, collection of delinquent (axes has run "about $10.000 a month." This, he said, is double the average monthly collection of past years. Whiltcn declared his office has Riven properly owners plenty nC time fo make arrangements toward paying all or a part of their delinquencier. "Must Sue" "Now," he said, "we will have to take steps provided for by law. We will have to sue those who make no effort to pay thei- back taxes." In a prepared statement, he said: "In the past few month 1 1 have been asked a question so frequently that I feel that I must now answer this question openly through the newspapers.

Tin- question asked is: "Will suits br; filed on property that hns delinquent tax against it?" My an swer is yes, and I do not at all mind to state what I think about Ihe filing of suils. believe that it is not nl all right for a small group of people (o pay the majority of tax. 1 think "what is good for the goose, is also good for the gander." Of course. realize that many people have delinquent tax and if is impossible for them to meet the entire amount in one payment, ar.d we do not expect them to do 30, but we do expect them to make some effort to pay. Nevertheless I have found that the people who own a smal! amount of property and who have delinquent tax on that property, are doing everything in their power to gel tl-c debt cleared and most of siu-h tax payers are clearing the debt and getting ihcir property in good condition so far as the taxes are concerned.

It is not the taxpayer who owes a small amount that is working a hardship on his government, but it is the one who has more property than he what to do with and never taxes. It is this type of person that we intend to sue and we are not going to wait long to do so. The general public demands that suit be filed and it is our duty to collect this tax and this we are going to do. "Four "We have four types of people in our county and stale. Firjt, the typo who pays every year and is never behind; second, lync who may get a year or two behind, but who is striving at all times to meel his obligations and who will come out of the red in a very short Umc; third.

Ihe who is several years behind is paying out slowly but surely: and fourth, the type who nevi-r pays tax and who doe. not seem at all interested about paying. This last type is the one we concerned nhout and -he one we intend to sue immediately. We have people who brae that they pay no tax but who do not stop to realize who is paying for all the protection they might be cet- ting and nil convenience furnisn- ecl bv the government. "Within the next days nuili will begin to be filed and will continue to be filed until the linquent lax of Lamar couniy and the school districts completely settled.

"Ooinsr My Duty" "I am making thi.s slaternent so that those who arc able 1o pay and are not doing so rnny up to the fact that they -ire ine to be sued unless 'hey do When 1 was elected lector it became my dut.v In ni- and collect lax and I bo lieve that it is still my duly.

The brief case was left in the car when Daniel leaped from it and dashed into a drug store, screaming: "Don't let him shoot going to kill me." Daniel's car was found by the arresting officers near the spot where they picked up the suspect, Threatened To Kill I Inn Daniel said the man admitted he had Rjijjlaiid and threat- encd several to kill him ns they raced along East Texas highways. The abductor he intended to get to Arkansas or Louisiana, imd repeated he never would be taken alive. The man apparently had been drinking, Daniel asserted.

Congress (Continued From Page One) bulion of. relief funds, reserving judgment on that.

Hatch said he believed there was no disposition on the part of the committee to attempt to put its recommendations into effect in the emergency relief bill, on which hearings will be begun Monday by a senate appropriations subcommittee. He said the- committee's repcct, carrying also recommendations for specific legislation to prevent politics in relief, would be pressed when the appropriation for the WPA for the next fiscal year is before- congress later this session. Sentiment existed among some senators for further trimming the of the relief appropriations bill, in sddilion to throwing still more restrictions about administration of Ihe fund. The measure called for $725,000,000 when it passed (lie house Friday. Speaker Bankhead insisted, in an interview Saturday, that the house action was not a "rebuff" to President Roosevelt but merely represented the ideas of individual members of the size of the fund needed for WPA.

Although (be relief issue elalmcrl (he major share of attention in congress, the senate made ready for final action on confirmation of some of President Roosevelt's nominees. The judiciary committee arranged a macting for Monday to consider the nomination of Felix Frankfurter to be a member of the supremo court and of Frank Murphy, former Governor of Michigan, to be attorney general. Roth nominations have been approved by subcommittees. The senate commerce committee will vote Wednesday on the nomination of Harry 1,.
