“LANE—THE LI MIT"—AGAIN.
One W. P. Lane, now serving his
second term as Comptroller, is very
muchly agitated over Governor Col-
quitt’s veto of the 9:30 closing bill for
saloons, and is trying very hard to
get before the people as a “country-
saver” and demolisher of the liquor
traffic.
Let’s see where the trouble is:
There was a technical error in the?
bill as drawn and passed, which if fol-

cause the present law permits them

that this -v^as clearly an error and
should be passed over as such, as it
did not meet with the purpose and
intent of the law.
The Attorney General is the official
to pass on the binding quality of a
piece of law in every other state ex-
cept Texas, and the officers of the
state look to him for opinions on
any and all points of law that are in
doubt or not clear, however, in grand
and glorious Texas—the home of big

WATCH OUR WINDOWS
the biggest and strongest Fraternal
Societies in America have been and
are still doing business below cost,
enmeshing themselves deeper and
deeper each year into hopeless in-
solvency, unless a raise is made in
their rates, which has now become
necessary by reason of the passage
of the New York Conference Bill, bet-
ter known as the “Mobile Bill.” Un-
der this bill, which is now a law in
Texas, Fraternal Societies selling in-
surance below cost, will either with-
er and die for lack of members or be
forced to raise their rates.
In other words, we have had two
extremes; an enormously high ratte
on one hand and an unreasonably low
rate on the other. However, such
conditions cannot last, and a great
light is dawning before the insuring
public! People are beginning to
think and reason.
They want a cheap insurance, yet
they don’t want it so cheap that it
cannot be depended on for absolute
permanency and solvency. Th^ plan
of the Fraternal Societies—insurance
at cost—is an ideal one; the only
trouble has been thatin the struggle
for business many of the mhave fig-
ured their cost too low.
As a solution to the insurance
troubles of Texas and the South Our
United Brotherhood* of Sulphur
Springs, Texas, .has come on the
scene with four different kinds of
policies; a “Whole Life Level,” a "Fif-
ty-Year Term,” a “Sixty-Year Term”
and a “Twenty-Payment Life,” all
based on the National Fraternal Con-
gress table of rates—collecting pre-
miums that are' not exorbitant, yet
sufficient to carry the Society on and
on into the hundreds and thousands
of years in the future. America’s
greatest actuary has pitmounced
their rates adequate to carry for all
time, and there is no longer any ne-
cessity or reason" for the people of
Texas to be sending out of the state
annually FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
more for insurance than they ever
get back.
Our United Brotherhood is only
a little more than two years old, but
is rapidly taking front place in the
fraternal insurance ranks in Texas.
It offers the “remedy” called for
above and thousands of common-
sense, patriotic Texans are taking 1L
(If any reader desires to know more
about this solvent Fraternal institu-
tion that is building upon the rocks
of eternal permanency, a letter to
the Gazette or Our United Brother-
hood, Sulphur Springs, Texas, will
bring the desired information.)
We see now where the “old Alcal-
de” was right when he said that “civ-
ilization begins and ends with the
plow.” Never before in the history of
the world has this fact been more
apparent, and as the years come on
the guardianship of the plow is mak-
ing more profitable and happy the
lives and homes of men.

Last Monday y?as San Jacinto day.
That day seventy-seven years ago
General Sam Houston took over Gen-
eral Santa Anna and his Mexican
horde and Texas was free. On the
morning of that eventful day, April
21, “Deaf Smith” rode into Houston’s
camp, threw his axe on the ground
and shouted, “the bridge on Vince’s
Bayou is down.” Houston gave his
order to march on Santa Anna with
the battle cry of “Remember the Al-
amo.”

time to ^perform such other trifling
little duties for state as passing oa
the laws enacted by our legislature
even before the Attorney General has
handed down an opinion.
Immediately after the error was
discovered in the 9:30 closing bill,
this man of almost super-human intel-
lect—this Gollah in the political af-
fairs of our state, donned his war-
paints and climbed to the top-most
pinnacle of his self-erected tower of
“Might and Fame,” the* component
parts of which consist of demagogic
“flim-flam” and self-laudation, bassd
upon the shifting sands of lgnoranee
and egotism; here he - lighted Ms

ble, Just think what a wonderful
thing he could have done for the peo-
ple of Texas?—think how he could
have endeared himself to the prohi-
bitionists of this great state (?) Could
he have actually eliminated the open
saloon in Texas? Oh, no! but he
could have given us a change of sa-
loon men; Bill Jones would have tak-
en Tom Smith’s place and Henry
Johnson John Jones’ place, and so on,
down the line; every saloon in the
state would have run along just the
game,—only an automatic change of
ownership would have occurred.
We have no way of knowing what
Governor Colquitt’s original idea was
as to whether or not the bill ought
to be adopted, but we feel reasonably
sure that the main reason he vetoed
the bill was because of the conflict
that had arisen between the Attorney
General and Comptroller Lane. He
evidently figured that inasmuch as
there was to be strife and dissen-
sion over the bill, the better
course would be to send it back to the
legislature and let them correct the
errors.
It appears to us that the Governor
is not to be censured over the 9:30
closing bill’s failure to become a law.
Whatever blame there is should fall
first upon the legislature for making
such a clumsy error, and next upon
Mr. Lane for trying to over-ride the
opinions of the Attorney General of
this state.
PURE FOOD
One of the best evidences that the
split log drag is the best and most
available road builder is the hearty
approval it is meeting. McLennan
county has in operation one hundred
and fifty split log drags. A drag can
be built for twenty dollars and is so
effective it speaks for itself—needs
no boosting to herald its merits. The
only thing necessary is to use them
persistently.

WE HAVE THE “REMEDY.”
Last year life insurance companies
collected in Texas 56,665,270 in pre-
miums, and paid in losses only $1,170,-
700. This is a clear loss to the peo-
ple of Texas of more than $5,000,000.
This great annual loss has occurred
for many years, and will continue as
long as private companies have ac-
cess to the pockets of the people—

Conditions ,as stated above are, in-
deed, deplorable. But, who is to
blame? Surely not the large insur-
ance corporations that are organized
and operated for PROFIT the same
as any other gigantic enterprise. It
is a business proposition with them,
and each stockholder expects a nice,
fat dividend on his stock each year;
their officers draw princely salaries
and live in palaces of bronze and
marble and It requires enormous
profits to meet all these “extras,”
over and above the actual death loss-
es.
The “old line” (stock companies)
have been able to gather in many
millions of dollars in Insurance from
people who KNEW they were paying
from one-and-a-half to THREE times
as much as their insurance should
cost, simply by reason of their re-
sourceful and compelling argument
that their “cheaper” competitors (the
Fraternal Societies) “were selling in-
surance below cost; that they were
not on a solvent basis and COULD
NOT live and make their promises
good;” while c e other hand, “the
old line companies charged more, but
gave the people insurance that was
absolutely dependable.” And, worst
of all this has been true. Many of
