Rep. Joseph w. Byrns Of Tennessee is chairman Of
the democratic national congressional committee.
He IS on the firing line Tor his side Of the political
lineup.
He says blame for the tariff fiasco must rest square,
" with the Hoover administration.
He says efforts to place It at the doorstep Of demo-
Gratis and progressive senator's need not be taken Sc
riously.
He says the republican administration has a nomi-
nal majority Of more than 100 votes In the house and
of II in the senate. And IF the administration does
not possess the leadership to make this nominal ma
jority a cohesive. working majority. the blame can
not by any stretch Of the imagination be placed on
the democrats
Furthermore, and TO the point. he says the demo-
cratic and progressive coalition should be praised
rather than censured for preventing passage Of the
tariff monstrosity adopted by the house, thereby keep
ing the living cost Of the American people from be-
ing increased between six and eight hundred mil
lion dollars by the Hawley-house tariff bill"

Public Buildings For Texas

According 10 an Austin correspondent q minimum
OF s4717s4s for state public buildings and improve
ments Is set by j. d. Hall. state budget director, in
supulvinr the figures to Gov. Dan Moody as a basis
for his estimate TO the president Of state money to
be spent In Texas next year.
OF that amount 50. $40. 800 is for building and ST.
O77.O53 IS for permanent buildings and repairs. This
estimate does not include any part OF the $~35OOe,oOo
to be spent by the state highway department.
And the $35.OOO.OOO is contributed BY the buyers Of
gasoline who operate motor vehicles under the skies
Of Texas.
All these appropriations were made In the winter
months OF 1929. There will be another legislature
elected in the fall OF 1880 and now is the time for
the people to think OF the material which will offer
itself for the legislative Job under the big dome.
Why not pay the poll tax? Why not pick con-
structive men when picking time comes?

American relations have known that
Clark has been Morrow's right hand
