r Vorkuta,
ixth Texas District, re
cency tried a comparatively
novel experiment for the leg
islating field. Teague, deter
mined to have some idea of
what huH voters wanted, sent
que$tionnaires to all persons
registered on his poll tax list.
Detailed answers from some
5,000 citizens of this district
were received and compiled
by percentage for and against
pending and prospective laws.
Ajthough far from being com
pletely accurate, the percentages
give art approximate picture of
just! what the sixth district voters
expect and want from their Fed
eral goyerpment. Some oU the fig
ures are surprising in their size
and some ^prove to be startling in
that they.exist at all. For instance,
11$ of those answering from the
sixti district expressed a desire
for lighcr personal income tax.
O hetj answers reveal that Sl9%
favor universal military training
for yoqng men and 56% believe
that our best chance of preserving
word peace is through supporting
the national defense program and
givhg economic aid to foreign
couutrifls. [
Tpe Federal farm program re
ceived the majority approvut of
those answering. The crop insur
ance! ami price support farm struc
ture whs favored by 77% of ! the
district arid the soil conservation
program by 84%.
It the jieople of the sixth dis
trict vtHv took time to ank^er
Teague’s questionnaire hold views
representative of the nation, so
cialized plans are in for-a bad
timri Government medical and den
tal iservicC was opposed by 69%.
Wh^n asked if they favored the
government paying part of con-
stnictioh hosts of houses for low-
incqme people 47% said a firm
no as opposed to the 43% who
were for the idea and 10% who
offered no opinion. However Fed-
era aid to education was favored
by 57%. Teague said that many
of those answering in the affir-
malivesi concerning aid to ediica-
tior stipulated that they did not
want any Federal control or in
ter! erencej tied on to the appro-
printed funds.
Rent control measures were a-
gre^d to by 47% who wanted con
tinuation of these laws. However
fool rhtidning and price controls
appeared desirable to only fj%.
, Yfheri ajsked how additional Fed
eral expenditures should be finan
ced with taxation-many suggestions
weie given. 33% favored an in
crease in the corporation tax rate,
33% akked for a re-institution of
excess—profits taxes, 4% wanted
a luxury tax, 4% a sales tax, 3%
suggested a higher tax on natural
resources and the conscientious
11%, 4 ie htioned before, thought
thaft higher personal income taxes
wo ild answer the need for funds.

From this job, he went to w'ork
for the Associated Press and for
the Springfield Republican.
This was during that paper’s
greatness under the last of the
three Samuel Bowles. Later he
was called into AP service in New
York to work for many years in
a job that called for almost con
tinual travel over the nation.
Cap takes great pride in the
fact that he helped to organize
the AP sen ice in Texas and Okla
homa. In 1940 he ended his service
with the AP by retiring.
His last full-time job was as as
sociate extension editor for A&M.
He held this position for five and
a half years at th.e end of which
time he assumed his present duties.
