Washington, June 23. A revision ot
quarantine regulation. governing
entry of seed or paddy rice from for-
eign countries is being prepared by
the federal horticultural board as the
result of a recent hearing and with a
view of keeping plant and seed dis-
eases out of the country.
The department quarantine now ex-
tends against paddy rice shipments
from India, Japan, Italy. France,
Germany. Belgium, England. Ireland,
Brazil and Argentina, and hRs a<»
existed since 1S»II>. It is now propos-
ed to extend the regulations to coun-
tries known to have the disease but
not covered by the quarantine,
when completed will i '
brace all rice-producing countries
The regulations will not Interfere
with the introduction of rice In forms
commonly used for food purposes,
either as polished or brown rice.
Mexico has recently taken to rais-
ing rice and is believed to he free
from the plant disease, and there is
much demand for the Mexican prod-
uct for planting in the United States
Entry of Mexican rice under safe-
guards will be permitted, the depart-
ment states.

PURPOSE
BEST POSSIBLE BANKING SERV-
This effort will not only start,
tilings, but can be made a splendid
business investment. We refer to the
building of a modern hotel,
such an institution would pay there
can lie no douht. The entire hotel
facilities of the city are taxed to their
fullest capacity practically every
night, and many people who would
spend the night in Bay City go else-
where because of the now shortage of
accommodations.
With adequate and modern facil-
ities, Bay City would soon become the,
hotel center of the entire section and <
many salesmen who now run back lol
Houston, or scatter to the several
other towns, would congregate here
for the week-end. This would bring
in more business, additional publicity (
and contribute in every way to the
growth of the town, l^et's get to-
gether and see if this greatly needed
enterprise cannot be inaugurated
scon The commencement of this ef-
fort would encourage the starting of■
others and soon we would have an
era on constructive growth that would
be gratifying.

"Then there is a section authoriz-
ing and directing the legislature to
enact legislation to put these provi-
sions into effect.
"First of all it should be said that
the provision which refers to ad val-
orem taxes can be ignored, for the
section which would have authorized
the issuance of bonds was trlcken out
by the senate. It was intended to
strike out also the reference to ad
valorem taxes, but in the rush of the
closing hours of the regular session
this was overlooked. But it is in-
operative and the same as though it
had been stricken out.
Waco, Tex., June 23.—-W. A. Craw-
ford, president of the Texas Highway
Association, issued today a statement
outlining the provisions ot the pro-
posed highway amendment to the
state constitution to be voted on by
the people on July 28.
"In spite of all the discussion in
the press,” he said, "there seems to
be a widespread misunderstanding of
the proposed amendment The many
inquiries we have received Indicate
that a great many people do not
know what it provides. It occurs to
me. therefore, that a simple state-
ment of its provisions is very neces-
sary.
"The amendment proposes to add
the following provisions to the state
constitution:
The legislature is authorized and
directed to provide for the creation.!

tlon. Under the amendment it could
be taxed for roads alone.
"And finally the amendment pro-
vides that counties shall retail all
their present powers and revenues
with respect to roads. This will re-
lieve the counties from constructing
and
leave them all their present revenue
for purely county roads,
sion for compensating

ot the legislature.
' "The system which thir amend-
ment would inaugurate in Texas is
the same as that in operation in all
levied if the amendment is adopted.
"If that point is kept in mind there
should be no difficulty in under-
standing the amendment. It provides
for the creation of a sta-te highway
system and for .the levying of 'spe-
cific excise taxes' for the establish-
ment and maintenance of such a
system
"If the amendment is adopted the
designated stale highways will be
taken over by the state and the coun-
ties will be relieved Of the duty and
expense of constructing and main-
taining such highways in the future.
"The excise taxes it authorizes does
not increase the power of the state
to raise revenue. The stat# can levy
excise taxes now, only they are called
occupation taxes. But one-fourth of
all occupation taxes must go to the
school fund, and this amendment
would make possible the levying of
such a tax for road purposes only
The gasoline tax is au InMance of

and in order that the state may pro-
