Charlie Harris Pleads Guilty
. to Perjury Charge—-Gets
Two Years. ^
TRIED TO SAVE A FRIEND
Trying to help a friend in time of
need will cost Charlie Harris, a local
negro two yean of his freedom, it was
decided by a District court jury this
«
morning. * Harris was sentenced to servo
two years in the state penitentiary on a
charge of perjury, alleged to have been
committed during the triad of Lee Mc-
Kennon at^ the summer 1921 term of
court.
IfeBaads was convicted of attempt
log to commit burglary through the us^
of firearms and given a fifty year sent-
ence. As a .’emit Harris who swore the
defendant was at another place when the
act was committed, was indicted by the
grand jury for the present term of court
for giving false testimony.
MeKeunon is still confined in the De-
Witt County jail while his case is on ap-
peal, while Harris began serving the
state today. The latter entered a plea
1 . . L‘ \
of guilty to the charge and asked the
ccarts mercy, receiving the minimum
and the half-masting of the flag on
the Quirlnrfl in foaming for the
pope, are commented upon at length
by both the, press -and public. There
are many expressions favoring an
;v. .-yc.t
agreement .between the government
and the Vatican and these two events
are' being poinded to aa significant of
such s potley.
■ While there aeems no doubt that

the next pqpe will be- an Italian, the
newspapers draw a distinction be-
tween Italia^ popes, expressing the
hope that the ftjpi pointiff may be
one who will fit an end to the long
tween the ohnrch and
the Italian government. Seemingly

PROPOSAL TO TAX FEDERAL,
STATE AND MUNICIPAL BONDS
A BIT OF PATH08 WITH
PRE8ENT WEEK’S JURY
Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.—Finr-'-
ual conditions and heavy taxes have di-
rected much attention to the propoeed
twentieth amendment to the Federal
Constitution. It affects all taxpayers
without regard to political affiliations.
Three resolutions providing for an
amendment to permit Federal taxation of
8tate and Municipal bonds have been in-
troduced and referred to Congressional
committees.
They are all in harmony with the rec-
ommendation, \ of President Harding ’3
message to Congress: ,
“I think our Tax problems, the tend-
ency of wealth to seek don-taxable in-
vestment, &nd the menacing increase of
public debt; Federal, State and Munici-
pal—Ail justify . a proposal to change
the Constitution so as to end the issue
of non-taxable bonds. ”
The last resolution introduced, that ’ ”
Representative W. R. Green of Iowa. -
received with favor because it prohil i j
any discrimination between Federaf an l
State securities. The Ways and Means
committee of the House has it under
consideration. It would add as the
amendment the following:
“That from and after the adoption
of this amendment as part of the Con-
stitution the provisions of the sixteenth
amendment to the Constitution shall ap-
ply to and include income derived from
securities thereafter issued or created by
any State or political subdivision there-
\
of, or any dependency of the United
States; but taxes on incomes derived
from such securities must be laid with-
out-'discrimination in favor of incoine
derived from other securities of the sa''-0
tonh and general class issued or crer.tc !
after the adoption of this amendiqent as
part of the Constitution. “1, «
Perhaps never before in the history
of this county were forty able bodied
and apparently healthy men of ages
for jury service drawn to serve on, a
jury in the district court, to find that
at the time for service a^few months
later, %our of them would have depart-
ed this life. *k
The four members, who constituted
10 per cent of the men drawn, were all
residents of Cuero or4 immediate vic-
inity, though J. H. Dagg, was better
known at Yoakum where he had
spent a greater part of £iis life. He
had been here only a matter of a few
months. * , -
The other three were our own home
folks, regarded as much of our citizen
ship as most any other men could be
and their deaths were all deeply re-
gretted by great numbers of friends.
Besides M. Dagg, the other members
drawn for Jury service the 4th week
of District Court, and who have since
been called from our midst, are Otto
F. Buchel, Ben Cole and Floyd Buchel.
All of the arguments were eloquent
and beard by a crowd that packed ev-
ery inch of tire main floor of
* tita court room and In the galleries.
