Father OF HOrseracing'

In more than name he vas the
"father OF horse racing in Texas"
He first became interested in thor
oughbrcds in 1897, and built up a
creditable stable on his ranch near
Electra.
His silks we're retired from the
nations racing ovals from 1909.
when the sport was banned in Tex
as. 10 1924. but since that year he
and his two sons had built up the
Three D stable. which produced u
merous winners.
Almost unaided az the start he
carried on the fight 70 legalize
racing again in Texas. Gradually
his following grew until in 1888 the
legislature passed and Governor
Miriam A. Ferguson signed a bill
permitting pari-mutuel betting at
tracks.
RI was on the day after the gov
ernor signed the measure that he
was stricken the first time.
In the meantime, however. he
had invested sums estimated as
high AS 100000 in making Airing
ton Downs one OF the country's
fastest and most beautiful tracks.
He had conducted brief meetings
there without gambling even before
the pari-mutuels were ] galized.
1t was one Of the tragedies Of his
life that encroaching blindness
made him able 70 see only the dim
outlines OF the speeding thorough
breds. competing legally on his own
track, after the legislature passed
the measure.

w. .WACCONER
OF HORSEBACK
fame IS DEAD

FORT WORTH, Dec. l2.=tRl-
w. 7. Waggoner, who built one
Of the biggest fortunes west Of the
Mississippi River on cattle and oil,
Is dead at the age OF 80.
The capitalist and horse racing
enthusiast died at his home here
Tuesday night as the result OF a
stroke Of paralysis suffered sunday.
He had been IN III health since
1888 when he suffered a previous
stroke. He had recovered sufficient
ly. however, TO attend the races
last month at Arlington Downs,
the racing plant between here and
Dallas which stands as a monu-
ment TO his love OF fine horses.
OIL and Cattle
waggoner was q cattleman and
horseman first and above al. II
was on cattle that his fortune was
founded. In his later years oil was
discovered under a huge slice OF
his wide landholdings and added
more millions than the ranch buSi-
ness had produced. but he retained
big livestock interests.
II was on the range, 700, that MS
love OF competing horsefleSh be-
gan. There was keen competition
between him and Burk Burnett, a
ranching contemporary, in the
matter OF fast cowponies.
Waggoner had lived in Fort
Worth for nearly 30 years. but had
retained active management OF his
holdings.
He was a leader in civic enter
prises here. Honors bestowed upon
him in that connection included
designation by the Exchange club
as Fort Worth's most distinguished
citizen of 1888, and presentation by
a citizens committee in 1929 Of a
$1,000 trophy in appreciation OF his
work in behalf Of this city.
His illness prevented him from
attending the banquet at which
the most distinguished citizen"
award was celebrated in 1888. but
speakers on that occasion praised
him for business acumen coupled
with scrupulous fairness, his pow
ers or leadership. and his willing
ness to lend himself TO deserving
causes.

ChapteF Twentv-O One


Il can I figure out why you re so
steamed up about Congress meeting
in January" Pa Jones protested.
1T looks to me that with ali these
Democrats In. It's just going to be
a rubber stamp for the president.
Congress has Just about given up all
its powers to the president anyway.
John. Jr., looked up from the
evening paper. He had managed TO
get hold Of 1t on this particular even
ing. For since the news Of every
day had begun TO be news that af-
fected their daily lives. the Joneses
we're finding themselves in a free
for-all race for the paper each night
alter supper.
But they didn't always read 1t
the same way. and John. Jr., found
himself disagreeing with Pa once
AGAIN.
Il can't see IL that way. Pa" he
said. Il think the radical Demo-
Gratis and progressive Republicans
are going 20 furnish Just as hot
battling as there eve; was between
Republicans and Democrats.
And ! don't see any justice in
the calm that Congress has Just
handfd everything over to the
president. You remember that
when all these emergency laws
were passed in March. 1893. every
body said, Well, Congress has abdi-
Gated
But those laws were for a short
time only and some OF them have
to be renewed this winter IL they're
to go on.
Congress Boss On Money
"Also. Congress stiIl holds the
purse strings. II It doesn't appro-
pirate the money, none Of these
things. CCC. PWA, Hole. FERA. or
none OF the others, can 60 on. Con-
gress Is still boss, all right. and we
are going to sec 1t this winter"
But Pa wasn't satisfied. Sure,
Congress holds the p~urse-strings,
all right, but I'm afraid II isn't hold
ing them very tight. There are
more than enough Of the new con-
gressmen pledged to paying the bo-
nus than 1t takes to override a
veto.
There's a big number who'll vote
for any and all money-spending.
Its easy TO vote money. IL doesn't
cost the congressman anything. It's
you and I who have to pay it,"
There you are" burst out John,
Jr. First you're afraid congress
has Just stepped aside to let the
president run things. then you're
afraid congress Is going to run wild
on its own hook.
Personally, I don't care how much
power Congress gives the president.
provided II limits the time, keeps the
right 10 limit the money. and sees
TO 1t that we can elect q new presi-
dent IL we want TO-"
