The Plot Thickens

The day after cousin Nat"
exhibited the Carpenter good
will offering to his fellow Texan.
Mr.. Sellers, he made known to-
the same brother .longhorn, that
he, Congressman Patton had
committed an act of patriotism.
He had just purchased $1,000
government baby bond. Nephew
Shook, who Is palpably given to
talking out of his turn, upon be-
ing congratulated by Mr.. Sellers
for having such a patriotic
uncle, made the Illuminating
comment, Eyes, uncle bought
bond and It wasn't payday"
Questioned by Senator
Black, the chairman of the
investigating committee, Con.
gresham Patton not only adj
mittcd the purchase of the
$500 baby bond but allowed
further that under two pre-
vious attacks of patriotism he
had increased his financial
family by buying a pair of
twin bonds at $3.50 per twin.
In response to a slightly
amazed inquiry from Mr. Black
how he had managed to perform
such a feat in these hard times.
cousin Nat" announced that it
had all come out of his savings
as a Congressman. The reaction
among the committee members
was terrific. With the high cost,
of living in Washington eating
into their own incomes they.
wanted further information
from the money making miracle
man. Little by little the truth
emerged.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-08-02
How It Was Done

Congressman Patton had re-
ceived in salary 100 for
four months slavery In the
legislative mill. He had
brought from Texas 100000 i'm
the family sock, making S3,-
200 I'm all. Out of that he had
lived and saved $4,000 with
which to enlarge the Patton
baby bond nursery.

Wen Never Know

The real truth about the little
box may never be forthcoming.
It might well be, as Congress-
man Patton insinuated, that tlia
young son of the President Of
the Texas Power and Light
Company gave him the cigars
because Mrs. Carpenter, the wife
Of the President of the Texas
Power and Light Company,
would not allow the five-centers
to be smoked in her apartment.
It is also possible that Mr.. Pat
ton honestly believed all the
time that he was being pre-
scented with cigars. He must
realize by now that what he was
being handed was an assort-
ment of dyna m tie sticks
wrapped in cotton wadding.

They base their dissent on two
grounds.
FIRST, that as the area they
serve produces most of the coun-
try s'passenger tarffic, they
should receive chief considera-
ton in any rate-fixing program.
SECOND, that modern and
faster equipment, not lower
charges, is the best way of bat
Ting motor competition.
ACE IN THE HOLE
The lines favoring the rate cut
have potent factual evidence to
back up their arguments.
The Southern, which has been
experimenting with cheap fares
for several years, increased its
passenger revenue 1876 per cent
in 1884 over thaht of 1888. The
Seaboard Air Line obtained SINH
lar results.
Western lines have been equal
ly successful in boosting passen-
ger traffic. Some of them re-
ported increases sa high as Al
per cent.

cut deeply into rail travel is

The present basic rate of 3.6
cents has been in effect since
1920. when 1t was boosted from
3 miles. Prior to 1918 the basic
fare averaged around rs cents a
mile.
In addition to proposing q
two-cent maximum fare the ICC
also recommended a Scent rate
for Pullman fare and the WHIP

MISS LIE HAND
The woman who could write
the most interesting biography
of current times reads herself to
sleep with biography of per-
son 400 years dead.
The subject Of that biogra ply
Is Margaret of Navarro. The
subject of the biography she
might write is Franklin D. Roose-
welt.
The lady I'm question is the
Presidents confidential sec.
friend, Marguerite, LELAND.
However, Miss LELAND will
never write that biography.
"T'he chief require cent of

No one outside his immediate

The Texas Power and Light
Company Is a subsidiary Of the
Electric Bond and Share holding

John w. Carpenter. Mr.. Car

Of Congressman Patton but also
thinks enough of him to call
him Cousin Nat" When the
Wheeler Rayburn bill, with its
death sentence clause for hold
Ing companies, was being debat-
ed Mr.. Carpenter just happened
to be in Washington. Naturally
he wanted to contribute his mite
towards killing Off the execution

House of Representatives was to-
vote on the question of putting
the holding companies perman-
emily out of business, cousin
Nat" dropped in to pay a friend

OF the Texas Power and Light

The Play Begins

The great state of Texas knew
there was such a person as Hon.
Nat Patton but the nation at
large remained in blissful ignor-
ance Of the fact until the COM
mittee of the Senate investigat-
ing the holding companies lobby
started to dish its dirt. Mr.. Pat
ton crashed into the headlines
at a recent hearing before the
COMMITTEES when he appeared to
explain away the suspicious
which certain acts OF his had
engendered. He wore for the
occasion, among other articles of
apparel, a hard boiled shirt and
stiff starched collar; a get-up
SO incredible for Washington in
July as to make the wearer open
to suspicion for a dozen reasons.

black bow tie of the true states
man but fail to show his cheek
filled out with that generous
cud of 'eatin' tobacco" which
untutored Northerners expect
the well dressed Southern law
maker to wear upon formal
occasions. This social error may
well result in Mr.. Patton losing
his seat In the Halls of Congress.
The reasons for his appearance
before the Black committee re-
quire some rehashing.

The Point of All This

l do not say that Congressman
Patton's accomplishment is i'm
possible. He could have fed OF
free seeds from the Department
of Agriculture and bunked in
the Smithsonian Institute. thus
eliminating the items of Bed
and Board from his personal
budget. 1t was a great trick II
he did It. But what I do insist
upon is, that any man who pos
sesses such ability to increase
his personal bank account under
the admitted circumstances
should be given the job Of
handling every penny of govern
ment money. And that too, at
once. Permitting Mr.. Patton to
bury his talents as a mere rep
resefitative of a congressional
district in Texas is a crime
against the tax payers, treason
to the nation, and an insult to
the intelligence of the people of
the United States.

due to slippery highways. The first Of
the week he was out hunting and was
driving up the hill into McGinnis
Meadows At one point the road was
very icy, and Bolyard noticed that the
car was slowly slipping backwards
although the wheels We're in motion
forward. Whereupon he slapped On
the breaks, but the car still continued
backwards, moving very slowly II
also was slipping gradually to the out
side Of the grade. Mr.. Bolyard battled
with the slipping car until the rear
wheels started off the grade, when
the front Of the auto then raised high
in the air as it went off the grade,
turned over on its side and skidded
down grassy slope to the bottom Of
the hill. some two or three hundred
feet A new top will probably nave 10
