Wilbur Mills
Wilbur Daigh Mills (May 24, 1909 – May 2, 1992) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from the state of Arkansas. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from January 1939 to January 1977, becoming one of the top three longest serving Arkansas officials, and was chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. He was briefly a candidate for President of the United States in 1972.
==Youth and early political life==
Mills was born in Kensett in White County to Abbie Lois Daigh Mills and Ardra Pickens Mills. Kensett was the first public school in Arkansas to integrate, under Mills' father, who was first superintendent and then chairman of the school board and the banker for the school district. Mills attended public schools in Kensett but graduated as valedictorian from Searcy High School in the county seat of White County. He thereafter graduated from Hendrix College in Conway as salutatorian, having resided in Martin Hall. He studied constitutional law at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts under Felix Frankfurter, who was subsequently nominated and confirmed (1939) as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Mills received his law degree and was admitted to the bar in 1933.
Mills served as the 29th County Judge of White County, between 1935 and 1939, and began a county-funded program, with a $5,000 fund to pay medical bills, prescription drugs which were sold at cost, and hospital treatment for the indigent which were lowered to $2.50 per day, as well as have doctors see qualified patients free of charge. Patients were qualified for the program through petitioning the local Justice of the Peace, who would in turn make a recommendation to Mills as County Judge.
