PALESTINE COUPLE
ACCUSED OF MURDER
C. N. Avery, candidate for water and
light commissioner, to basing his race
for tbis city council post on his inti-
mate knowledge of the operation of
big business enterprise* such as the
water and light department is classed
as by virtue of the big business it
does. He has had intimate contact
also with public affairs as state high-
way commissioner and as secretary of
the city board of tax equalisation.
"In making the announcement that
I am candidate for water and light
commissioner," Mr. Avery said, "I real-
lie that this is one of the largest busi-
nesg enterprses in the city of Austin
and should be handled as such. It is
also one of the most vitally important
because it affects the health, and to
a certain extent, the happiness of every
person in Austin. As a business enter-
prise it should help develop Austin in
a large way. It should furnish power
to smaller industries at such a rate
as to encourage their use of it, and to
induce them to locate here. It should
furnish lights and pure water at a
reasonable rate and in as large quanti-
ties as may be desired, and it can be
mado to do this.
"In view of the fact that additional
equipment to about to bo installed at
the power plant which will provide
100 per cent more power than is at
present being consumed, I favor the
promulgation of such a rate as will
attract large industries to establish
here. This will have a salutary. effect
on other rates of the department, a3
the more power we market, the cheaper
can the average rate be made after the
fixed overhead charges are cared for.
"t have had many years experience
in running large industries and have
given many years study to machinery.
I know what Austin needs and believe
I can help supply that need. I am
opposed to the sale or lease of the
water and light plant to any firm or
individual, and if elected will do all in
my power to make this plant the pride
of every citizen. I have often been
urged to run for office in Austin, but
have never felt that I could afford to
do it until now. Austin has been good
to me, and I want to' do my part for
Austin. I will appreciate the support
of any citizen and if elected will per-
form the duties of the office to the
very best of my ability."

Jack Adams and Joe Adams,
brothers, were lodged in the Travis
county jail Saturday night as the pair
of alleged liquor runners who eluded
local officers Friday after a wild
chase that led from Austin to Bastrop
and thence to Elgin. The two men
were arrested Friday night at San
Antonio on information from the Aus-
tin officers and were brought back to
this city late Saturday by Deputy
Sheriff James E. McCoy.
Coincident with the lodging of the
two prisoners in the local jail, came
the announcement from the Bherltta
office that the two men had already
been Indicted by the Travis county
grand jury on charges of transporting

ST. PAUL, Minn, March 17.—Mike
O’Dowd of St. Paul, formed middle-
weight champion, who was knocked
out by Jock Malone here last night,
announced today that he probably will
retire from the ring.
"I will think things over for a few
days before announcing my future
plans,” O’Dowd said, "but the chances
are that I am through with the ring
forever.”
St. Paul promoters are making ef-
forts to match Malone, who is also of
St. Paul, with Johnny Wilson, middle-
weight champion, for an outdoor bout
to be held here in May or June.
Tomorrow at noon the forty students
making up the personnel of the Long-

will leave for an extended tour through
Southeast Texas. On this musical
jaunt the Varsity musicians win visit
eight cities, in the following order:
Brenham, Galveston. Port Arthur. Or-
ange, Beaumont, Houston, Bay City,
and Victoria. The coming of the band
has been well advertised, and the Var-
sity "tooters" are anticipating record
audiences.
It is interesting to note that Burnett
Pharr, director of the band, and Miss
Dorothy DuMara "entertainer ex-
traordinary,” who will be the only girl
in the party, are both Austin students.

by ths coming congress. It’s ratifica-
tion by the states would be prompt
and unanimous. There is no doubt
that such an amendment would bring
the dear old constitution back in high
favor with all sections of the people,
be they dry or wet.
There has been no draft of the
amendment as yet by the business
men who will be Instrumental in hav-
ing It Introduced, It is not to be
doubted, however, that there will be
quite a scramble in both senate and
house for the honor of introducing
such a popular piece of legislation.
In,outifne It is proposed now that the
arendment should limit the powers
of the government to 5 per cent or less
of the net earnings of an individual
or corporation.
Such an amendmest would severely
cut down the h eome of the govern-
ment as now gained through the in-
come tax law which still reaches as
high as 60 per cent of net incomes of
individuals.
It is proposed that in lieu of the di-
rect income taxes there shall be a
general sales tax. All suggestions for
a sales tax in the last congress were
blocked by the farm i oc. The farmer
thought it was aimed at him. He
figured he would have to pay a sales
tax on all he sold and then pay an-
other sales tax on all he bought. The
farmer's general position has been
somewhat ameliorated now, however,
and it may be that next winter he
will be in a more receptive mood as to
the sales tax idea.
Some Idea of the tremendous tax
burdens now being borne, may be had
by the study of national. state and
county figures. It is shown by gov-
ernment statistics that the general tax
bill today to no less than 14 per cent
of the gross Income of the nation.
Federal, state and county taxes for
1922 will amount to something like
>8,500,000,000, where as the highest
estimated national income is $60,000,-
000.000.
In the revision of the tax laws to
be proposed at the following session
of congress, another effort will be
made to differentiate between earned
and unearned incomes. This will in-
clude an effort to exempt all incomes
of $5000 and under. Above that sum
it is proposed that the unearned In-
comes be taxed at a much higher rate
than earned.
Another taxation effect will have to
do with tax exempt bonds of state and
county municipalities. There is great
complaint now that the income tax
law is driving money out of industry
and into tax exempt securities. Un-
questionably this is one of the most
serious fiscal problems before the
country today.
From any and every angle it is
plain that the next congress will be
a taxation congress, if President
Harding and the other officers of his
administration can bring it to a seri-
