Readers of the Messenger will find a ndw fea-
ture) on page five1 this wefek. “Bulldog1, Barks’ js the
title of this feature and Sit is strictly local, being
wriiftJte'n in its entirely by students of the Ho'Vp
schJool. W0 belierve this feature will be of interest
to, evtFyone, child! on grownup.
The Messengfej. is glad to be able to colciperate
yriXh the! students in this effort of th©irs. We be-
lieve tbe e^^Pericnc© gained will bcl of much bene
fit to them and might possibly be| the means of
Uncovering a future Horace Greeley.
Wig believe every oPP°rtunity should be given
the high, school student to g^ a scattering idea of
the various trade® and) profefesilous The trend to-
wards prevention of employment of young people
is creating a stfcrious condition. ’.Ihild labor regu-
iaftilon has been designed primarily to eliminate
youthful workers from dangerous and harmful oc-
cupations and is oommeoda'ale, but if is also re-
sponsible for boys and1 girls- reaching maturity with-
(OUt ha,ving had ,an oPP°irtunity to gain an insight
to storne type of work for which t|h!ey may bei suited.
Cotasequently we find, most of our high school
graduates either without definite' plans for the
future tor with an attraction to some line of work
for whlich they may be absolutely unsuitqd and
which they may not bnijoy after gf|tti'nig into.
There) is nothing mor-g tiresome' than being
engage^ ln an occupatitotni erne does not like. Far
too many of our young people ar0, taking coU go
work in preparait,iloin for some particular human en-
deavor and) then finding, after spending several
years iln preparation and upon becoming actively
engaged1, tjhht the work does not appeal to them.
Anything that cap. be dfjtne to give oUr high
School students an introduction to the various vo.
cations is time, money and eff°lrt well spent- The
Messenger hopes to be of some se'rvicg to thps
young- pf(ople by acquainting them with /ooir chosen
profession.

Income
At las£ ifs out- Governor Allredi’s sourcie of
Tevenue is to he an income tax—if he has llis way
with an already fighting Senate. The Governor evi-
dently thinks Texas has no ne'ed for further de-
velopment or for new cifcmtns. The fact that we
do not have an incom0 tax has been responsibly
foip a (number of wealthy capitalists moving into
Texas from Oklahoma during thte| past few months.
The Governor’s message1 is virtually an invitation
for them td move on-
Ato income tay, propefrly written, would be: a
fi'njgi thing and! would impose a hardship on niol one.
The trouble with itneome taxes as they ar0, wrif-
tdn today iis that they are purely and simply a
soak-th©-rich pbopositio11- We believe the man. of

means should! pay a higher fax than a poor man,
bu,t only (in protPortaloini t° diffidence1 iu their
incomes. The sam0l rate of taxation) should apply
to all alike. If one pe'r cent, thin one per cent
it should be whether tome ha.s an income off $200
a yijar or $200,000; whether such income is frum
private employment, public office, governmeut se-
curfties, relit If or pensions. Wg, believe that every-
one should pay slomething towards the support of
the government which protects him. There Sis no
more excuse for extknpting a man with small iu-
come from ,the payment *»f taxes than there1 would
be in expecting the grocefr to supply him with food
free of charge, for charging him less foj. them than
the! millionaire1. One is ais reasonable As the other.
When all people are madu to pay taxes they
will begin to. stud/y their ^ wernmemt and demands
upon the government will decrease. TCxas needs' a
sales tax. If is the only tax whereby efveryone will
pay part of the cost, and in proportion- to ability.
Checks
The appointment of Senator Blaick to the Su-
preme G urt bench and; th<J resultant storm of
protest, has demonstrated the ne.td of checks and
balances in our govertimefalt, if nothing tUs©. In the
matter of appointments, suchl as this, three cheeks
on tln( app! injtee are proa-idled. First, the exe'eu-
tlivO; Second, the Senate; and third, th0, Consti-
tution’.
Pi’e'sidfent Roosevelt, in his dlesire to reward
a faithful one, acted with tpo., much haste in mak-
ing the appointmb -It. He. failed t0 investigate the
appoint )b’s qualifications as thoroughly as he
shofuld Ihlave and1 there is no, denying that he is
greatly embarassed over the incident. Ini fact, this
is the 'first time that th©re has been any notice-
able) regret on his part for having madb a mis.
take. The firs^ check failed.
The Senators, providing the second check, failed
to function. Why they failed is probably due tA
one or all of several things. They were tired or
fighting with the President over the Supreme
Coui-t, for omf| thing. Another reason is that fhg
appoimtment came to them like a bolt from thqrt
Mue, aflid in thie closing rush of the session. A
third reason mliight he listed as one of pride—a
member of the Senate was being honored.
This hlaves only one check, the Constitution
and its application to the cas© by the Supreme
Court. This Last check is yet t0( be tried, but a
t<<st case has been filedj.
Thus we se'e two of three possibl0, checks up-
;on government action- fail. Pail in spitt) of a
clearly written section of the Constitution. The
Executive and! the! Senaitig followed a course iof ac-
tion that wtals clearly closed to them. This appoint-
ment is usedi as an example, ft is possibly not, a
danger us example. Justice Black cannot control
the Supreme Court and whiter ihle sits on the
bench or is ruled! off will probably hav0, lilbtle' ef-
fect oin thl future of the United States, but iu-'t
suppose this had) h©eki: the lappoli'ntment of some
individual as dictator of the United Stated. Would,
n’t you be gladi to know 'ifcjhat we have a Oonstitu-
tirtai and) an uncontrolled Supreme Com’t to pass
fihral jud-gtVuent on the act?

Safety
The City Council has gone t° considerable ex-
Pe'nsg, to pn teet the) lives of those using the high-
way through Howe by inisitalling lai traffic light
this week. This light djoes no^ posse-s-s magic pow-
ers. It cannot preve(nt accidents by itstif alone.
The preventit®. of accidents % this corner is still
-a matter of individual pre'eaution. Th0 light is
merely an assistance to this- end.
This ligh-j- js not for through traffic alone. To
make it serve its purpose its signals must be ob-
served by one and 'all; whetlifer qUi the) highway or
on the intersecting sbfqbt; ivhether pedestrian or
motorist; whether driving a mot) xr vehicle or a
farm wagon.
Observe) th0 Signals. Dq not “jump the guu”
while on amber; this signal is to allow7 moving
traffic to clear the ilniter^ection. Do not- run an
amb'lr or red light. Follow 'these rule's and the! light
will serve its purpose. Fail to do them and: we)
will have more stfrious accidents than in the past
and the question of responsibility will be e'aSily

LACKING!
No children in -the spacious blouse,
Nor ion the well-kept lawn,
Whifcfe flower blooms are undis-
turbed,
Till summer diays are gone.
N0 little fe'et to run and play,
Or scamper through the hiall,
No voices m-is.id in eager talk,
Of dolls and1 games and ball.
The gardner sets out figures gay,
Like rabbits, frogs -an|d cran-es,
To decorathl© garden lone,
And brighten cheer Ires lanes.
The grass is neatly trinnmjd and
shearedl,
No path across its -sod,
Fqr the little fe^t c°uld not r>
main,
Thtft7 w©!i(t back home to God.
