THE BATTALION
‘Texas Can’t Exist Without Free
Trade,’ Says Landrum to Club Here
“I do not we how Tenu can ex-
for long without free trade,”
•aid Lynn Landrum, Dallas News
columnist, before a meeting of the
Economic* Club in the me** hall
parlor Wednesday night
The former editorial writer for
the old Dallas Journal represented
a News policy of long standing in
upholding free trade.
“The Erosion of Economics in
the Flood of Politics” was the topic
for Mr. Landrum’s address, in the
course of which he stated his belief
that politics is undermining eco
nomics principles among the nation
as a whole.
Purposely ignoring the concept
of Jefferson—“the greatest good
for the greatest number”— in his
speech, Mr. .Landrum criticised the
present administration for Ha
spending policy.
‘The attitude toward taxation in
politics—which is no more than -the
art of getting elected—is to take
from one person because he has
more than I think he should have
and to gro to another because he
doesn’t have what I think he should
have, 1 * he wid.
Confronted during the forum fol-
lowing his speech.with a discussion
of the “ability to pay” principle of
taxation, he said thgt the principle
is a good one but that it must he
used within limits because of the
danger of stifling enterprise.
Anti-New Deal in his outlook
since immediately ^following the
1936 election, Mr. Landrum employ
ed cynical barba throughout the

Upon graduation from the train

jular Araqr Air Corps Unit He
draws the same pay as a Regular
Army Air Corpa officer and may
remain on active duty for a period
of from three to five years. It is
believed that ever* a longer period
of active duty may soon be author
ised. After three years of satisfac
tory service as a second lieutenant,
an officer may be promoted to the
grade of first lieutenant and aerve
the remainder of the five-year per

substantial salary wcn-a.M
The Air Corpa expansion pro
gram calls for more than 3,000
regular Air Corps officers. It b
proposed gradually to expand to
that number over a period ©f sev
eral years, with increments as great
as 306 per year. Only Air' Corps
Training Centier graduates are eli
gible for a commission in the Reg
