tion regulations, assess liquor taxes
and license fees, determine who is to

so by a court of competent jurisdic-
tion. Here is the exact language of
Chairman Ernest O. Thompson, which
may be taken as a pretty good indica-
tion of what the commission is going
to do about it, when the testimony is
sen it, where, when and under what fact unless positively ordered to do
what conditions. Interesting to legis-
altors are rough estimates that taxes
and licenses ought to bring to the
state treasury $3,000,000 to $5,000,000
a year.
2. Enabling legislation to permit
the state to take advantage of the ’ all in:
federal old age pensions appropria- j “The commission has been confer-
tion, allowing states $15 each for in-j ring about this question and wishes to
digent aged persons on a matching make it absolutely plain that we are
basis. The enabling legislation is ex-: certainly going to follow the statute!
pected to fix rigidly the qualifies.- ! religiously, and certainly we are going!
tions of those receiving such aid, set-. to follow out the mandates of" the ]
ting age limits and requiring conclus-: court in their decisions, when we can j
ive proof of need. Otherwise, raids on understand them. . . . However, the!
the state treasury running into the extent to which this testimony has j
millions annually will result. Corpor-
ations and others interested in main-
taining lower state taxes can be de-
pended upon to bring pressure to bear
upon the legislators in drafting this
enabling legislation to keep down
costs to the minimum. Sales tax ad-
vocates will doubtless exploit the fu-
tile hopes of many persons, misled by
Townsend plan talk, into believing
that a state-financed millenium is
about to begin. They will seep to cap-
italize the pressure of these demands
to force through a sales tax.
Legislation to set up a system of
compensating certain county officers
in lieu the fee system, which, as this
is mailed, appears to have been writ-
ten out of the constitution by the elec-
torate. The returns likewise indicate
a respite from further constitutional
amendments for at least another two
years, the proposal to permit submis-
sion by special sessions apparently
having lost.
gone leads us to announce that this
commission certainly is not going to
stand for any share-the-wealth plan
with reverse English, taking from
those who do not have and giving to
those who have. This testimony so
far in the minds of the commission
leads inescapably to the conclusion
that small acreage will be of no value.
. . . The commission does not believe
that the Legislature by its laws or the
courts by their decisions, mean to
drive the little man ou of the oil busi-
ness in Texas.”
Romance of Old Spain
Theme of Exposition
Dallas, Texas.—“The romance of
sixteenth century Spain will be woven
into the theme of the Texas Centen-
nial Exposition, which opens here
next June, by the division of the
grounds into seven sections repre-
senting the Seven Cities of Cibola.
These seven legendary treasure
cities, whose streets the conquista-
dores believed were paved with gold
and whose walls were studded with
jewels, were the “will-o'-the-wisps”
which ever flickered ahead of Span- 1
ish exploration.
Cabeza de Vaca, shipwrecked on
Galveston Island in 1528, first heard
of these mystic cities from his Indian
captors. He carried the news of the
treasure trove to Spanish settlements
south of the Rio Grande and several
expeditions explored Texas in the
hope of finding them. j
Francisco de Coronado in 1540
crossed the prairies of West Texas,
marking his trail with stakes and
buffalo bones so he could find his
way back, thus naming the Staked j
Plains in this section. He went north.,
into Kansas and circled into western |
New Mexico. He found no treasure.
The cities of the legend were at the
rainbow’s end. In New Mexico he
captured half a dozen squalid Zuni
pueblos, the lintels of their doorways
being decorated with blue turquoisej
matrix. They were probably the jew- j
eled cities of Cibola. However, he did ,
open the Southwest for future Span- i
ish settlements.
The uncounted wealth of Texas, i
which has developed from Coronado’s j
exploration, will be displayed in the
seven sections of the Centennial Ex-
position. _Eaeh section will be named <
for one of the legendary cities. In i
great exhibition palaces will be shown |
the heritage '’of the conquistadores, j
cotton, corn, oil and cattle and all the j
tremendous industrial and natural re-!
sources of the Southwest.
Texas got the jump on most other
states when the highway department,
at the instigation of Chairman Harry
Hines, began preparation two weeks
ago of plans for a $4,000,000 farm-to-
market road program, to be paid for
by the federal government out of a
special allotment of WPA funds. Sec-
retary of Agriculture Wallace promul-
gated the requirements last week, list-
ing as first consideration the availa-
bility of suitable relief labor and next
That paragraph may become his-
toric in Texas. It serves to empha-
size again that the railroad commis-
sion, in all its dealings with the high-
ly technical and controversial ques- j
tion, must keep in mind that it is
serving not only the giant major oil!
companies who have invested millions
in Texas, but also the small inde- j
| pendent oil men who have pioneered;
much of the new development, and;
j most important of all, 6,000,000 Texas’

Regular Advertising Is
the Kind That Pays
Regular advertising is what counts.
The advertisement that appears in
your newspaper week after week until
it becomes an institution is the one
that gets the best results. Your name
or the name of your place of business
is right there in the same place week
after week until it becomes impressed i
on the sub-conscious minds of the 1
readers of the newspaper.
Then, whenever they have a need j
of your services or your merchandise,
they will of course come to you.
Whenever they think of your kind of
merchandise they think of you, be-
cause your name has become linked,
in their sub-conscious mind, with
that kind of merchandise.
A regular advertisement keeps your
name in the mind of the newspaper
reader.
