Warning Given
Motorists About
Driving In City
We have bet n more than patient in
enforcing the ordinances in regard to
parking correctly and observing the
"stop” signs. The public in general
has not cooperated with us; therefore
we are forced to start fining those
persons violating the provisions of the
ordinances. The persons who do not
come to a complete stop or stand-still,
shift into low gear, and observe and
note the,, trend of traffic on Texas
Avenue before entering the intersec-
tion proper shall be fined not less
than $1.00 nor more than $5.00 for
the first offense, and not less than
$5.00 nor more than $25.00 for the
second and all subsequent offenses.
Motor vehicles shall be parked at the
curb and at right angles theieto and
shall not be parked otherwise or at
other places therein; no motor ve-
hicle shall he permitted to cross Tex-
as. Avenue between Eabadie Street
and La Salle Street othfcr than at the
street crossings and persons violating
these provisions shall he punished by
fine of not less than $1.00 and not
more than $20.00.
Study the above fines carefully so
that you will not be surprised when
the judge assesses your fine because
if you violate these ordinances you
are goihg to see the judge and when
you see him he is going to fine you.
This Ordinance will be enforced
beginning Saturday, September 4,
1937.

City Marshal.

tection can he carried to a point where

wiped out and stagnation results.
It is a popular political practice to
crusade against,.the capitalistic sys-
tem and security exchanges which are
the market places for private capital
as it flows into productive employ-
ment in every line of industry. Un-
less we are ready to adopt the social-
istic theory of government and w ipe
out all private capital, and everybody
work for the state, we roust have se-
curity exchanges (free markets) and
a continuous opportunity for the indi-
vidual to invest his own savings as
he sees fit.
up the sources of employment through
their inability to secure new money
for improvements, extensions and re-
pairs necessary to keep abreast of the
times and maintain payrolls.
Even the politician who would ham-
string capital, depends upon the indus-
tries which capital maintains, for the
tax money which pays the politicians’
salaries as well as all of their political
bills. If he taxes or regulate? cap-
ital to the point of stagnation or ex-
tinction, where will taxes and employ-
ment come from ? At present, in-
vestmnts and the normal expansion
of industry in this nation are lagging,
due largely to the fear of legislative
reprisals and regulatory restrictions
which seem to be carried beyond the
limits of reason.
Protection of the individual against
graft or crookedness is one thing;
but “protection” which destroys pri-
vate opportunities, discourages busi-
ness and dries up streams of capital
on which industry depends for its
existence, makes a travesty out of
protection.
It’s about time the people awaken-
ed to the fact that their jobs and their
prosperity come from the earnings of
capital, and not from political hot air
and abuse of capital.
Let’s enforce our laws to punish
♦he crook, but in the name of common
sense and increased employment, let
us encourage the individual or the in-
dustry who will invest or borrow cap-
ital to keep the wheels going in this
nation.

ROBINSON SPRINGS
CLOSED REVIVAL MEETING
Rev. Sam Bays closed a successful
Baptist meeting at Robinson Springs
last week. The attendance was good
and much was accomplished. The
baptizing will be held next Sunday.

(Continued from First Page)
VC. M. Caraway and Geo. Rollins.
The purpose of the preliminary
surveys made in each county was toi
assemble data which will be consider-
ed by the proper government agencies
and departments, to determnie the
extent of damages being sustained by
the action of flood waters, and from
the reports control measures may be
deducted.
A series of dams as a part of the
Brazos River Watershed development
program may result. But as yet
nothihg definite along this line has
been projected.
Norman Stephens went to San An-
gelo this week to visit in the home of
his si‘ter, Mrs. W. C. Jennings and
with other relatives.
1 was on your 7:00 a. m. schedule j
out of Dallas on the morning of June j
20th. The bus was loaded. There 1
must have been forty or more paS- I
sengers aboard. At a point about j
ten miles, I suppose, south of Buf-
falo, the left front casing blew out |
swerving the bus suddenly and most j
vigorously to the left side of the road.
There was a rather deep ravine on
each side of the road with guard
posts only a few feet away from the 1
pavement. t
With calm courage anil almost su-
perhuman strength Robinett pulled
away from these guard posts and
what looked to be an almost certain
abyss of death and brought the big
machine to a stand-still to the plau-
dits and praise of every passenger
aboard. They stood up and cheered.
A ilraver like this inspires confi-
dence fn highway travel and reflects
credit 'upon you and your company.
The many passengers on this bus so
expressed themselves then and there,
and I, therefore, efel no hesitancy in -
saying that this letter not only re-
flects my own sentiment but that of
the some forty-odd passengers.
i Let praise be had wherg praise is
dpe. In the twinkling of an eye al-
rpost Mr. Robinett has established for
himself a reputation that may some-
times be, hard to live up to but I
know thAt a man of his fibre will al-
wbys do it.
Yours truly,
