History Prof To Write
Politician’s Biography
One of the principal architects
of national farm legislation dur
ing the Roosevelt years is the
subject of a biography underway
at A&M.
He is Marvin Jones of Ama
rillo, whose political career be
gan as the “Panhandle Kid” in
1916 and expanded to that of
close advisor to FDR in Depres
sion times. He was a confidant
of House Speaker Sam Rayburn
and political mentor to a fledg
ling congressman named Lyndon
B. Johnson.
Long-time observers of the na
tional legislative scene will re
call Jones as the prime mover,
father and savior of the old
Triple-A (Agricultural Adjust
ment Acts), a testament to his
New Deal fervor. Other major
legislation which bore his stamp
included the Farm Credit Act
and the Soil Conservation and
Domestic Allotment Act.
Jones’ biographer is Dr. Irvin
May, assistant professor in the
History Department. May also
is serving this summer as assist
ant professor and agricultural
historian in the Agricultural
Communications Department.
Dr. William Tedrick, editor and
head of the Agricultural Com
munications Department, said the
Texas Agricultural Experiment
Station initiated the project be
cause “we believe that it is im
portant to document the contri
butions Jones has made to agri
cultural development in Texas
and across the nation.
“We see this as what may be
the first step in a rather exten
sive agricultural history focusing
on Texas men and women who
have had a part in bringing agri
culture to where it is today,”
Tedrick said.
Eventually, May’s studies will
lead to a book, now tentatively
titled “Marvin Jones: Agrarian
Advocate.”
The historian’s extensive re
search into the Jones era, which
has produced mountains of notes
and documents, has already borne
fruit from an unexpected source.
While gathering data on Jones,
he interviewed Washington news
Correspondent Bascom Timmons,
whose news career in the na
tion’s capital dates back to 1917.
At the professor’s suggestion,
Timmons has turned his files
(described as one of the most
efficient and complete in Wash
ington) over to the A&M library.
May regards Jones as a father
of farm legislation with more
than 50 years of service as con
gressman, administrator and jur
ist. Texas A&M bestowed an
honorary doctorate on the offi
cial in 1952.
The historian’s detailed re
search and interviews have
traced Jones’ career back to his
birth in 1886 on a farm in Cooke
County. Jones attended South
western University in George
town and the University of Tex
as, and received his law degree.
Marvin Jones practiced law in
Amarillo until elected to the U.S.
House of Representatives in 1916.
The young politician represented
his district from 1917-40. Dur
ing that time, he served 20 years
on the House Agriculture Com
mittee and chaired that powerful
group from 1931-40.
May said he knows of no other
congressman who has sponsored
more significant agricultural leg
islation than has Jones. Soil and
water conservation were favored
projects.
In addition to the legislation
already named, Jones was one of
the. principals in the Emergency
Farm Mortgage Refinancing Act,
Jones-Connally Farm Relief Act,
Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenancy
Act, Jones-Costigan Sugar Act,
agricultural marketing agree
ments and commodity exchange
legislation. Such activities kept
him in close contact with Henry
A. Wallace, then secretary of
agriculture.
In 1946, Jones was appointed
to the U. S. Court of Claims by
President Roosevelt. His judicial
duties were interrupted during
World War II when the presi
dent made him advisor and as
sistant to the Director of Eco
nomic Stabilization, and later,
administrator of the U.S. War
Food Administration.
He returned to the Court of
Claims as the war ended. Two
years later, President Truman
tapped the Texan as the court’s
chief judge.
In 1964, Jones asked to be
placed on inactive status. Presi
dent Johnson rewarded his for
mer political teacher with an
appointment as Senior Judge, a
post he still serves.
