“Oh, Lord, no!” was Governor
Ma’s feminine reply when a news-
paper reporter asked her if she was
expecting the resignation of the
chairman of the State Highway Com-
mission. But the chairman did re-
sign, and the people are now wonder-
ing if quitting in shame is going to
be the extent of his punishment. If
high officials can so maladminister
public affairs entrusted to them, then
wash their hands with a resignation,
there is something lacking in our code
of procedure.
lieves that the extra amount of adver-
tising done the past few weeks is re-
sponsible for most of the extra busi-
ness brought to Whitewright
Fall. It still pays to advertise.

(From Denison Herald.)
It appears The Herald has not fully
made its position clear with respect
to the Texas highway situation, or at
least its editorial expressions have
been somewhat confusing. .In the
last issue of the Whitewright Sun our
esteemed neighbor and friend makes
the following observation:
“We have come to lean quite heav-
ily on the usual sound reasoning of
The Denison Herald in its editorial
expressions, but our esteemed con-
temporary is getting us a little wool-
gathered in its dual discussion of the
state highway muddle at Austin and
throughout the state. The cartoonist
has a way of sketching the human
face so that it will greet you with a
smile from one direction, but frown
ominously at you from another an-
gle. Not unlike these freak por-
traitures are some of The Herald s
comments on the highway mess. In
his effort to recover for the highway
maintenance funds the outrageous
and unauthorized profits which the
State Highway Commission is hand-
ing out to fake contractors and to
stop the further prodigal waste of
these resources, The Herald seems to
think that the attorney general is en-
deavoring to accomplish nothing
more than to advance^ his political
fortunes, with the resultant effect of
a cessation in highway work.
The Herald expresses a willingness to
double the illegitimate profits of the
‘contractors’ if such a course will in-
sure more work on the highways of
Grayson County. It ought not to be
any trouble for The Herald to recall
that the highway work in this county
slowed up when our county was fed
to the contractors, which was nearly
a year ago. We agree with The Her-
ald that something ought to be done
to remedy the present deplorable con-
dition, but it is our conviction that
these conditions will improve but lit-
tle until the Legislature makes some
radical changes in the laws that place
all of the authority and nearly all of
the funds in the hands of three men
at Austin.”
The Herald has at no time entered
into a defense of the Highway Com-
mission for the improvident contracts
it may have made for upkeep of state
roads and surfacing. The Herald is
free to'admit that information avail-
able rather sustains the contention
that many of the contracts were un-
wisely entered into. But, under the
law, as this paper interprets it,
awarding of contracts rests within
the discretion of the commission,
which may select either the lowest or
highest bidder. if it so elects. The
fact that awards were made to bid-
ders at a higher price than others of-
fered to do the work does net of it-
self carry the implication of fraudu-
lent intent, in absence of proof of
which we doubt if the attorney gen-
eral will be able to sustain his suit—
if he is permitted undei- the law to
I sue. And since the Travis County
grand jury has had the matter under
investigation for approximately sixty
days with no indictments returned,
■ the presumption is that that body has

The deposed highway chairman
might soliloquize: “What kind of a
State would this State be, if all of its
citizens were just like me?”

If the State highway “mismanage-
ment” recently disclosed doesn’t kill
the Fergusons politically, then, like
the cat, they must have nine lives.

Although Mayor Will Leslie didn’t
mention it in his proclamation as one
of the things which Sherman should
be thankful for, nevertheless the pop-
ulace over which he presides are pausing
breathing naturally again under the
great relief of having their star foot-
ball player cleared of ineligibility
charges.

not as yet been able to find sufficient I
evidence of fraud on which to base
a ^>ill of indictment.
As a matter of policy and for the
peace and good order of the state in
future, this paper regards is as ex-
ceedingly unwise for one department
of government to exercise supervis-
ory authority over another depart-
ment. Should the precedent become
established, whether it be to protect
the public interest or in furtherance
of political designs, chaotic condi-
tions will inevitably result. And in
this connection is it not appropriate
to inquire of the attorney general
what he proposes to do with respect
to the contract awarded to the Amer-
ican Book Company whose bid he in-
sists did not comply with the law and
therefore is not binding on the state.
What is the difference between that
award and the highway contracts?
The Herald does think that road
work will be retarded over the state.
Furthermore, while considering and
lamenting the deplorable condition of
Grayson County roads, we rather
think had it not been for the attorney
general’s activities this county might •
have secured relief before the end of
the year. Texas is a big state and it
is not possible for every section to be
investigated promptly. But although
our roads have been neglected, the
system is not thereby proved bad.
The law may need amending in some
respects—we rather think it does—
but a connected system of highways
with the federal government partici-
pating can only be had through a cen-
tralized authority. And should .the
persons entrusted with that authority
prove themselves incompetent to dis-
charge the duties, we can oust them
at the proper time and get somebody
who can.

Whitewright merchants have been ’
giving The Sun force all the worK it ’
wanted for the past, three weeks. 1
The force has enjoyed the work and ’
the merchants have gotten good re- '
suits from the dollars they invested [
in printer’s ink. Several merchants
had large sales dodgers printed and
mailed io the people of this section.
^One merchant mailed but three thou-
sand double-page circulars, another-
mailed twenty-five hundred and still
another, four thousand five hundred
three-page circulars. In addition to
the above, several have mailed out
smaller circulars. All report that
they got good results from the adver-
tising, some of which went to homes
fifteen to twenty-five miles from
Whitewright. In addition to the di-
rect mail' advertising each merchant
has had large advertisements in The
Sun. Whitewright merchants have
enjoyed a good business this Fall.
They have advertised more than us-
ual this Fall. Of course, The Sun be-1
