WHEN SANITY SUR-
PRISES.
SO EXTRAORDINARY is the situa-
tion over at Waco that it provokes
surprise. A' negro murderer self-
. convicted as the arch fiend ol the
year's criminal records has been
held In a county jail" for moreMhan
a week without the semblance of a
" threat by a mob; and at this time It
appears that there is little danger of
moVaction in his case. If thatfnegro
lives until he can be brought into a
Texas court and given a fair" and im-
partial trial conviction and execution
according to xhe law -of the state a
- new chapter will have been written. .
Z The people in many sections 'of
Texas during the past year became
insane with a savage desire for ven-
geance and unlawfully executed a
" number of negroes accused of crime.
For weeks and weeks the story of mob
action was quickly available after the
capture of a negro arrested for crime.
It was so even in Waco the home of
Governor Neff and a recognized cen-
ter for education and religious activ-
ity. It Is probably because of a lynch-
ing tfiere last year that there has
been no moh action in the case of the
negro Mitchell now held under charg-
es of having plain five white persons
and having assaulted . three white
women. For one of the crimes which
Mitchell has admitted is the same
crime for which a negro was unlaw-
fully killed last year after having
been identified by .his Tictim; and that
negro's body was burned in the center
otthe city while thousands of ren-.geance-mad
Waco citizens danced in
glee around the fire. The mob has
learned that it can be mistaken; that
the justice it administers "is some-
times not justice but murder. Per-
haps this is one of the reasons for the
peace - that has prevailed In Waco
-since Mitchell admitted his many
' (crimes.
A life is a Jife and it matters little
how It may be taken away from a
person; the effect is the same. A
negro murderer Is just as dead after
having been banged as he is after be-
ing burned. The suffering imposed
by the tortures administered by the
tmob is incidental if his life is to be
taken away. The state of Texas has
provided capital punishment for cer-
tain crimes and has provided that
capital punishment shall be by a hu-
mane method.. The very life of the
.Estate depends upon the perpetuity of
jts institutions ror enforcing the law.
Mob action destroys these institutions
!gpd. those who participate in . mob ac-
tions are therefore destroying'the very
(agencies which have been established
-for their own protection. Persons
V
who. thus cheat themselves-are not1
!sane; hence moos are noc eane.

"IT'S IN DALLAS."
M
ONDAY morning the Dallas News
published a front page story tell
ing of a stranger who visited Dallas
and paid a taxi driver three dollars
for a trin from the Union Terminal
to the Jefferson hotel "just across the
street. Tuesday morning The News
admitted that the story was errone-
ous and declared that the spirit of
"It's in Dallas" undoubtedly would
prevent any such imposition upon a
stranger visiting the town. . Indeed
says The News any taxi driver or any
other person in Dallas familiar with
the location of the hotel and the union
station" would be glad to inform a
stranger that it would not be neces-
sary to call a taxi for a trip across
the street. Evemnore says The News:
"Very likely too after giving tho cor-
rect information a proffer of assist-
ance something like this would be
made:
"It's just across the street sir but
if you will permit me I shall be glad
to assist you with your baggage and
.help you through the traffic. Glad
to have you visit Dallas and hope your
stay here "will be pleasant"
Which is that But in Tuesday
morning's papers not The News
heavens no! The News would not
print such calumny there was a sto-
ry about a Dallas messenger boy 15
years old who is In a serious condi-
tion as a result ot being struck over
the head by two negro highwaymen-
who robbed their victim and fled.
Now the question Is were the neg-
roes merely fighting with each other
for the honor of opening the door for
the messenger boy . and accidentally
struck the hoy with a piece of lead
pipe or were they by some strange
chance Fort Worth negro bandits op-
erating out of their own precinct?
The "It's in Dallas" spirit ought to
get busy and clear up this mystery. .
The technological college bill has
been signed. The fignt of West Texas
has been won after seven years strug-
gle. The next big battle will be over
the question of location; for there
are no less than half a thousand West
Texas towns which are the "logical"
sites for the million dollar Industrial
school which the state proposes to
establish. Since none of these towns
are within two hundred miles of any
industries with which the tech col-
lege will be concerned one town will
have just as good a claim as any other
and the battle will probably wax warm
before it is ended.

No. 13. .
Business expenditures are not al-
ways business expenses within the
meaning of the Income tax law. -For
pvample a merchant may build an ad-
dition to his warehouse at a cost of
?ioOU000. This is a capital expendi-
ture for an addition to his assets. Cap-
ital expenditures are not deductible.
Distinction Is made -between expen-
ditures for an asset and expenditures
in connection with an asset. If the
merchant should during the year
spend $500 for repairs to his ware-
house such as painting the roof or
replacing broken windows he may de-
duct such amount as a business ex-
pense. Medical law or other professional
books machinery tools Implements
qr surgical instruments purchased by
a ta'xpa'yer for use in his trade or
profession and which are of a perma-
nent character are capital assets and
their cost is not ajlowed as a deduc-
tion. A farmer may not deduct the
cost of a threshing machino or trac
tor these being capital expenditures
but is allowed to deduct tho cost of
hoes rakes and small tools which are
used up in course of a year or two in
farming operation.
The purchase price of an automo-
bile even when used wholly for busi-
ness or professional purposes is not
deductible but is regarded as invest-
ment of capital. The cost of gasoline
repairs and upkeep of an automobile
Is deductible if used wholly in busi-
ness. If used partly for business and
partly for the pleasure or . conveni-
ence of the taxpayer and his family
such cost should be apportioned ac-
cordingly. f
