Warnings about erroneous reflections in local columns and a call to stock up before price hikes frame a broader review of oil, bank, and tax news. The piece notes gasoline price momentum, the headlight certificate repeal, a bank moratorium, and a beer tax plan aiming to raise 150 million dollars from 30 million barrels sold nationwide.
A First Nation Bank customer, a woman, supported the bank moratorium last week by offering to forgo cash use to aid the nation's war effort. She explained she would sacrifice sugar and other essentials to help defend the country against Germany and preserve the economic structure.
The Texas delegation largely supported Roosevelt's economy bill which the House approved 266 to 138. Representative Sam Rayburn voted for the measure and urged its passage on the floor, saying he backed the President in every emergency in his twenty years in Congress. Voters will remember which lawmakers supported the program come election time.
The Dallas News notes two classes of campaign contributors: those giving a dollar and those giving larger sums tied to federal patronage. It contrasts the motives of small mite givers with big donors seeking influence in Texas appointments, ridicules Maury Hughes on patronage policy, and links Republican boltage to Democratic rise and Texas penalties.
Four Republican senators supported President Roosevelt in his campaign but faced no discipline from the party.

They fled after the blaze drew crowds and a broken window revealed their torch left behind. Marshal J M Blackwell found the scene, freed the captives, and seized the acetylene torch. Hyde said he waited for a ride when seized.
Hyde obeyed as Sanders staff were attacked and tied during a bank intrusion. The bandits failed to breach the vault with a torch. acetylene gear was later turned over to the Bonham sheriff. Fire damaged a vacant house, and stolen equipment from Dallas Mosler plant linked to the Leonard robbery.

Incumbents and holdovers are named and the district reports stable finances despite salary cuts and ongoing cost reductions. The board warns further savings may be needed without new state funding.
A New York society leader spoke at length endorsing the Buy American movement and nearly missed the Bermuda-bound boat, according to the Détroit News.
