Texas needs money for a $15,000,000 deficit and increased running expenses. Moreover, a number of Texas legislators have it in for the sulphur companies, particularly for Texas Gulf, whose $46,000-per-year director of public relations, Roy Miller, was Texas finance chairman for the Democratic National Committee in the last campaign. Sulphur and other big Texas industries spent a deal of effort on their favorite candidates for the Legislature, many of whom were defeated in the primaries. This fact has not been forgotten by the winners, notably by San Antonio's quick-tongued little State Senator...
Preliminary 1936 earnings figures showed a net profit of $580,000 for the K.C.S., comparing with a deficit of $955,000 in 1935. The L. & A. showed a $334,000 profit last year, comparing with $428,000 the year before. What the deal last week meant was that Harvey Couch's ideas on co-operation would be applied to freight operations, especially since the two roads together would have the most direct route between New Orleans and Kansas City by way of Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Texarkana and Joplin...

Old England, with less than one-third the population of the U. S., has been building 300,000 homes year after year...
Even if the U. S. decided to catch up on its housing deficit, there is growing doubt whether it could now rustle enough skilled labor to do the job in a hurry. Even last year reports of labor shortages cropped up continually-of bricklayers in Duluth, of ironworkers in Kansas City, of all trades in Des Moines, of various trades in such assorted communities as New York City, Baltimore, Denver, Los Angeles, Altoona, Pa., Ann Arbor, Mich., Charleston, S.
