But Mr Rockefeller Is not citizen OF
Texas Il g. question whether he has
ever been in that state. lie Is a citizen
OF New York. in order 10 commit an
oncuse against the lave Of Texas. t D.
not necessary that the offender small be
in the state az the time the offense was
committed II seems therefore that Mr.
Rockefeller s. capable Of violating the
criminal laws OF Texas without going
outside Of New York
Apparently GOV. Roosevelt thinks that
this Is persecution rather than an effor:

II is a FAC, that they are spending money

ready money than heretofore. Il would
naturally be supposed that. under such
circumstances. they would pay their taxes
