PROFITS—WAR AND POLITICAL
The public will smile a little over the furious protest of
Senators Nye aucl Vandenberg,* Republicans, against the
President’s plans for legislation to take the profits out of war.
Still, it will be'an inquiring smile. Apparently there is pros-
it of political profits to be made out of the elimination of
v(fcr profits. Also, one may read between the lines of the Sen-
ators’ protest the suggestion that there are political deficits

Whether the President was prompted to Lake action at I Who desire reserved seats, can pro- i adopted at Waco October 5, and
prespt time by his natural disposition toward swift de-
ion in all matters, or whether it was response to the need
a little political maneuvering, is something that only he
can answer, Possibly there was a mixture of the two prompt-,
h£gS. Certainly, there can be no criticism of his steps toward
legislation to eliminate war profits. Yet, the formulation of
a.conclusive program just at present might cramp the style
,0g the investigators. It would be better if the President were
to leave his program open to further suggestions from the
Senatorial Committee. It would keep the war profiteers on the
msive and at the same time give all political profit-seek-
an even opportunity for public recognition of whatever
it they are entitled to. Let the investigation and the Pres-
ent’s plans go forward side by side.—Dallas News, a

NEW TAX PLAN
The secretary of state last week issued a charter for the
as Real Estate Tax Limitation league. The indicated the
“would assemble and disseminate information and
ics relating to real property taxes” and would sponsor
Texas a constitutional amendment limited to one per cent
true value the sum total of aggregate of taxes which
be levied in any year against real estate by the combined
lg divisions.
Seven states have already limited the tax which may be
upon real estate and according to sponsors of the
league, the results are amazingly satisfactory. Contrary to
tain predictions the essential services of government have
been strengthened rather than weakened, the* league main-
tains. Government functions such as schools, roads and sani-
)n have been placed on a sounder basis and no longer are
ident chiefly upon real estate for their income. Govern-
nfjpnts are more economically administered, and tax collec-
tions are increasing because the burden on real estate has
b€en reduced to a point where owners are both willing and
aitfe to pay. The league believes that Texas needs such a con-
structive tax policy.
Yesterday a Record reporter had j
the pleasure of meeting Mr. Merk- j
ell, the electrician of St. “Louis who
, came down at the instance of Mr.,
: Buchel to investigate and estimate
j the cost of putting in his electric
light plant. He is very much im-
pressed with Cuero, the orogressive-
ness of her citizens and particularly
the dam! He says it disolays a won-
derful amount of enterprise and
will no 'doubt bring ab?ut a big
revolution in this country. Factor-
ies will spring up and prosper, truck
gardens will prove wonderfully
productive from the irrigation and
thousands cf other enterprises will
be carried into successful execution
by the water ppwer from the dam.
Mr. Merkell will report the result of
his investigation to Mr. Buchel
sometime teday and much depends
on his report.
Just take a peep through the fine
line of clothing samples of Kinley
& Keller.
Government Short
Half Million in Debts
t Without a doubt the tax on real estate has been over-
bearing during the past few years. Real estate has been bear-
ing more than it’s share of the tax burden. Progress made by
the league in its drive for lower taxes on real estate will be
wptched with interest in this state.

It was a. lcnel.v day lor Uncle Sam

was Finland, which continued to

the close of the world war to holn it I
