AUSTIN.—A |2 P«r capita appor-

the benefit of the Texas public schools
was announced Tuesday by L. A.
Woods, state superintendent of pub-
lic instruction.
The apportionment affects 1,300
school districts, and Superintendent
Woods said the county common
schools will be. the first to receive the
money the latter part of this week.
The warrants, he said, should be mail-
ed to each of the independent districts
by March 8.
Superintendent Woods said this ap-
portionment carries with it the sec-
ond and last adjustment covering the
county administration fund for this
scholastic year.

ing their surplus in non-taxablc bonds
I know many men worth from $40,-
«)00 to $150,000 that arc holding down
jobs; many of them arc common lab-
orers in Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas. Thousands of non-citizens are
holding down good jobs here, while
our own citizens are crying, begging
and praying for work, with no place
to lay their heads at night.
I am holding down a job eight
hours a day, where 1 see it all. 1 want
to tell you it is heart-breaking, when
you see men and women, high school
hoys and girls, half clad, hopping the
(tops of ice-covered box cars, just go-
ing somewhere, because they have no
place to stop.
Will some one tell me what is going
to be done about it?Right now we
have enough jobs in the U. S. A. to
.give every U. S. A. citizen work, in
order to take care of dependents, yet
they are idle.
The Lord says that charity begins
■st home. So why do we give jobs to
foreigners and allow our home folks
to suffer with hunger and cold? Why
<lo we cry about the high taxes on
our homes, when we invest all our
savings in non-taxablc securities?
“Ye who are heavy layden come unto
tnc and 1 shall give thee rest
ed a certain spirit of self-sacrifice and
unselfishness.
But every opportunity for dentago-
gism has been exploited in recent years.
The history of the world is a history
of various cycles of human strength
and weakness. Is now the time for
the tide to turn again?
Our country is divided into selfish
interests, each wanting its turn at the
grab hag. "You can have what you
want, if you will only let me have
what I want.” is the system that
largely dominates our Government.
The functions of a Republic should
he simple. Let us reduce its activities
to the fewest common sense necessi-
ties. Elect new officials not posted too
Wei lin the present system.
Citizens who tend to their own busi-
' ness and respect the rights of others
* do not need control or interference.
The weak must he protected and the
[selfish restricted. But the complica-
tions of our present Government
furnish loopholes for the crafty and
hamper instead of helping the average
citizen.
Simplification will encourage hon-
estv and unselfishness. These two sim-
ple virtues arc the great need of these
United States and its people.
