THE FAIRFIELD RECORDER, FAIRFIELD, TEXAS, AUGUST 15, 1935
PAGE SEVEN
The Amendments
Amendment Number 6
Two years ago a Senate investi-
gating committee discovered a num-
ber of flagrant abuses of the fee
system as practised in Texas for re-
compensing certain pubic officials.
The fee system was established and
written into the Texas Constitution
at a time when it was impossible to
pay salaries and the theory was that
an officials was entitled to “all hs
could make.” Since the Senate com-
mittee discovered and revealed the
malpractices existing under the sys-
tem there has been a demand for a
Constitutional change on this score,
according to Secretary of State
Gerald C. Mann.
Proposed Amendment No. 6 on the
ballot provides that the fee system
as a method of paying certain pre-
cinct, county and district officials
shall be abolished in counties having
20,000 or more population according
ot the last Federal census. The Leg-
islature will, if the amendment is ad-
opted, set the salaries for officials
now receiving fees in such counties.
In countie of under 20,000 population
the Commissioners Courts may put
their county and precinct officials on
a salary basis if they so desire. The
Amendment does not specifically
state who shall set the salaries of
such officials in this case.
If this amenment is adopted all
district officers must be compensat-
ed on a salary basis.
The amendment provides that fees
shall continue to be collected as at
present but they will go to the
county instead of the officer. The
evident purpose of this amendment
is to place as many pubic officials on
straight salaries as is possible and
thus abolish, insofar as is possible
the payment of officials through
the present fee system.
SAN AUGUSTINE—Six quarts of
wild summer huckleberries have been
canned by Mrs. Amanda Fox of San
Augustine county for making pies in
the winter or for serving with sugar
and cream, according to Miss Esther
Ross, home demonstration agent.
“Summer huckleberries taste very
much like the ones which ripen late
in the fall but are much larger and
are on smaller bushes so that they
are easier to gather,” says Mrs.
Fox. “I am going to can all that I
can get.”

Oardul stimulates the appetite and

Ratliff, of Hinton, W. Va., writes:
“After the birth of my last baby, X

DALLAS BOY TO
ENTER ALL AMERICAN
SOAP BOX DERBY
Impatient and eager to test his
skill and his mount in the National
finals of the Chevrolet All American
Soap Box Derby at Akron on August
10th, is fifteen year old L. C. Haw-
kins, winner of the Chevrolet deal-
ers’ Soap Box Derby staged in Dal-
las a couple of weeks ago.
<rYoung Hawkins,” said Mr. H. C.
Howard, Dallas Zone Manager of
the Chevrolet Motor Company, who, in
conjunction with the Dallas Dispatch
sponsored this novel and interesting
contest, “with a racy looking speed-
ster built from a bed slat, a lead
keg, an old automobile fender, axles
salvaged from a junk lot, and hour
bicycle wheels, sped ahead of the en-
tire field of 101 contestants to finish
in first place, on the Maple Avenua
Speedway between Parkland Hospital
and Turtle Creek Drive Sunday af-
ternoon July 21st.”
Enthusiasm was raised to feverish
pitch shortly before the start of the
race with 101 daring and hopeful lads
giving their homemade racers one
last squit of oil and a final inspec-
tion and grooming for the two block
dash down the smooth asphalt hill.
“We have been advised by local
sports writers,” said Mr. Howard,
“that this Soap Box Derby was one
of the largest amateur or profes-
sional sports events ever staged in
Dallas. I was amazed at the wide
spread interest in the contest not
only by the youngsters themselves,
but by the people of every age who
were in attendance, to the extent of
15,000."
Mr. Howard was host to the
youthful race drivers, their parents,
and friends, a crowd numbering ap-
proximately 2,000, that evening with
an ice-cream supper and picture
show at Revershon Park.
Young Hawkins and 53 other Soap
Box Derby Winners from all the
principle cities over the United
States will gather in Akron on Aug-
ust 10th for the National Finals of
the Chevrolet Coap Box Derby, the
winner of which will be given a four
year scholarship in any state uni-
versity, College, or technical school
he may choose. A Master DeLuxe
Knee Action Chevrolet Coach js s- fi-
end prize, and a Standard Model
Chevrolet is the third prize— all con-
tributed by Mr. M. E. Coyle, Presi-
dent of Chevrolet Motor Company.
Ghaham McNamee will broadcast
the race over a Coast-to-Coast net-
work, and four major news-reel com-
panies will photograph the event.
The visiting Champions as well
as 75,000 anticipated spectators will
not only see this outstanding race
but also such events as 21 planes fly-
ing in formation, two Chevrolet sky
writers, fifty Hagenbeck-Wallace
clowns, Gar Wood’s “Miss America”,
Bill Cummings’ racing car, and such
celebreties as Babe Ruth, Jimmie
Braddock, “Wild Bill” Cumming3,
Grantland Rice, Paul Galileo, Damon
Runyon and many others too num-
erous to mentio, will be present.

Fairfield Trades Day Saturday,
August 17.
By H. L. McKISSACK
To those who would vote for liq-
uor August 24, we plead with you in
the language of Henry W. Grady,
the great Southern orator, when the
people were trying to establish liquor
in the State of Georgia:
“My friends, hesitate before you
vote liquor back into Atlanta, now
that it is out. Don’t trust it. It is
powerful, aggressive and universal
in its attacks. Tonight it enters an
humble home to strike the roses from
a woman’s cheek and tomorrow it
challenges this Republic in the halls
of Congress. Today it strikes a crust
from the lips of a starving child, and
tomorrow levies tribute from the
Government itself.
‘There is no cottage in this city
humble enough to escape it; no palace
strong enough to shut it out. It de-
fies the law when it can not coerce
suffrage. It is flexible to cajole, but
merciless in victory. It is the moral
enemy of peace and order. The des-
poiler of men, the terror of women,
the cloud that shadows the face of
children, the demon that has dug more
graves and sent more souls un-
shrived to judgment than all the pes-
tilences that have wasted life since
God sent the plagues to Egypt, and
all the wars since Joshua stood before
Jericho.
“Oh, my countrymen, loving God
and humanity, do not bring this
grand old cky again under the domi-
nation of that power. It can profit no
man by its return. It can uplift no
industry, revive no interest, remedy
no wrong. You know that it cannot.
“It comes to destroy, and it shall
profit mainly by the ruins of your
sons and mine. It comes to mislead
human souls and crush human hearts
under its rumbling wheels. It comes
to bring gray haired mothers down
in shame and sorrow to their graves.
It comes to turn the wife’s love into
despair and her pride into shame.
It comes to still the laughter on the
lips of little children. It comes to
stifle all the music of the home and
fill it with silence and desolation. It
comes to ruin your body and mind, to
wreck your home, and its prosperity
by swiftness and certainty with
which it wreaks its work.”
Let every voter, vote in protection
of every home, boy and girl in this
great State.
P. S. Amendment Number 7
sounds good, but if carried would
violate one of the fundamental
principles of this government, that is
separation of Church and State, in
that it would give free text books to
religious school pupils. If anyone
wants to send their children to reli-
gious schools instead of the free
public schools they should pay for the
text books. This is a dangerous am-
endment; let every free-born Ameri-
citizen vote against it.
