Mrs. Maury Maverick, wife of a Texas member in the United States House of Representatives, objected to having to pay for Washington dirt. "I wanted to pot and plant some beautiful Texas cactus plants," she told an Associated Press reporter. "I tried to dig up some dirt in the backyard of the apartment house where we live, but found it frozen. The only thing left to do was to go down town and pay 65 cents for it. At that rate our Texas ranch would be worth about three thousand million dollars."
