। The county commissioners are going
। to be asked for an election embracing
the Lufkin commissioners’ precinct, on
1 the question of a $150,000 bond issue
for the building of good roads in the
precinct. It will require a tax levy of
: only 25 cents on the $100 worth of
property to take care of the interest
and create a sinking fund sufficient
to retire the bonds at maturity. In
other words, the individual who ren-
ders $1,000 worth of property for taxes
will have to pay the insignificant sum
of $2.50 a year to secure roads that
will be a pleasure to drive over. Some-
thing like one-half of the taxable
wealth of the precinct is within the
town of Lufkin proper, and hence the
property owners of this city will be
required to pay practically one-half of
the cost of this bond issue, and not
one cent of the money will be spent
on the streets of Lufkin. More than
50 per cent of the remaining one-half
will be paid by the corporations, such
as sawmills, railroads and non-resident
property owners, leaving only a small
per cent to be paid by the farmers of
the precinct, the men who will be most ।
benefited. Under such conditions as j
the above, every farmer of the pre-
cinct should see his way clear to go
to the polls and vote for the bonds
when the time comes. Lufkin people
are anxious for the development of
the county and the building of a mod-
ern little city right here at home, and
they can conceive of no better plan
than the building of a system of good
roads. They realize also that a town
twice or three times the size of Lufkin
will afford a better market for the
farmer for his produce, and that good
roads will give him an easier access

for the Mexican situation which Pi

points out that “Mexico is apparently
no nearer a solution of her tragical
troubles than she was when the revo-
lution was first kindled." Meanwhile
’’she has been swept by civil war as
if by fire.” and. in short, "is starving
and without a government." In these

in his Mexican statement and in his
earlier appeal under Red Cross aus-
pices for help for the starving people
of that unhappy country, seem almost

extemporaneously he is not deep

his study he does not mix enough
with the people; if he is seen
around on the streets he ought
to be at home getting up a good

Coppage, pastor of the Washington
Avenue Methodist Church, preached
his sei mon on the subject, a synopsis
of which was given by the Houston
Chronicle the following day. Some
of the epigrams of the sermon as
printed in the Chronicle were brought
to this office on last Wednesday by
Hon. W. B O'Quinn, with the request
that the same be given space in The
News. There is no doubt in the minds
of conservative people that some of
the conclusions of the pastor are
rather far-fetched and unreasonable,
and should not have been uttered: but
they were just the same, and here is
onstration that the business of raising
first-class cattle in Texas is a paying
one. The steers were fed on products
of Texas soil, too—silage, ground kaf-

to the market. In other words, the
time is here when Lufkin and Ange-
lina County must go to work on new
and modern methods if we ever hope
to accomplish great things. The News
will be glad to give space in its col-
umns for a discussion of the question,
pro and con. in order that all sides
may have a hearing. Of course The
News is for the bond issue, is for the
development of Lufkin and Angelina
County, and for any old thing that
will be of benefit to her citizens.

During the past decade there has
been less development of the farming
interests of East Texas than in any
section of the State. Even away out
on the plains, where the rainfall is a
doubtful quantity ana crops as un-
certain as the verdict of a petit jury-
in a murder case, there has been won-
derful strides in agricultural devel-
opment; but right here in East Texas,
where conditions are a hundred to one
more favorable for the thrifty farmer,
there hns been but little doing. In
the west the roads are good, and the
farmers know they can get to town
and back with any kind of a load. and
with the greatest ease. When good
roads are built in East Texas, there
is no power under the sun to keep
the rich agricultural lands of this sec-
tion from coming to the front.
--------o---------
According to the Galveston News,
the people of El Paso County are in
the throes of rather a novel good
roads controversy. All seem to be
agreed that El Paso County is sadly
in need of good roads, but there is
sharp difference of opinion as to the
character of roads that ought to be
constructed, and the pending question
is whether the county shall issue from
$100,000 to $300,000 of bonds, not to
build a system of good roads, but to
experiment for the purpose of deter
mining what kind of roads are best
suited to the needs of the county. And
when this little matter is finally set-
tled El Paso County will vote a mil
lion or two million in oonds to build
the roads the county needs.
Former Senator .1. W. Bailey, who
is enjoying a vacation among his Tex-
as friends, was in Austin one day this
week and called on Attorney General
Looney, and forthwith the rumor be
came current that he would be re
tained by the State in its prosecution
of the breweries of Texas for an al-
leged violation of the anti-trust laws.
Bailey is recognized as a great law-
yer. and states to his friends that he
- out of politics. That, hoewver, does
not altet the opinion of The News
that Mr. Bailey is laying in wait for
the scalp of one little Morris Shep-
