its rejection.

right direction. We urge you to vote FOR

Proposition No. 4 calls for the repeal of
the $1.50 school tax. This is now handled
directly by the Navasota Independent
School District and is no longer a.function
of the city government. It should therefore
be repealed.
Proposition No. 5 would do away with
the charter provision which calls for a
$1.00 city poll tax This has not been en-
forced for years and should be repealed.
Proposition No. 6 would do away with
the provision which defines and sets forth
the city-school relationship. The two have
now been divorced and the provision con-
sequently has no meaning. It should be
deleted to bring the charter up to date.

amendments to the City Charter.
Proposition No. 1 provides for and re-
quires that every candidate for the City
Commission shall file ten days prior to
the date of the election and state the
number of the position for which he is
running. This latter provision hinges on
the outcome of Proposition No. 3, which
provides for numbering the City Commis-
sion positions. Advocates of position
numbering declare that this would enable
a candidate to know exactly who he is
running against. As this charter provision
is now written, all candidates run at large
with the two or three receiving the highest
number of votes winning. Just which is
best for the city we honestly do not know.
The numbered position plan does have the
advantage of putting a political campaign
out in the open, giving the voters a dear
cut choice. It also would help eliminate

all news today must be dis-
counted somewhat because of
the competition between the
various news media. The
newspapers have to come out
with an edition on schedule,
while radio and television
grind out material for
eighteen hours daily. Owing
to the fact that these newer
methods of communication
get tremendous income from
advertising In connection with
these newscasts, probably
twenty per cent of the news
has to be manufactured and
certainly much of it is exag-
gerated. Therefore anything
called a crisis today should
be discounted.
The Struggle Between Those
Who Have And Those Who
Have Not
It seems as if this struggle
all started with Caln and
Abel, and has continued
throughout the ages. A read-
ing of the Old Testament
shows how crises constantly
developed in Persian, Baby-
lonian, Egyptian, and Roman
history. Whatever change has
occurred In military warfare,
there seems to have been no
change in human nature.
Furthermore, each nation
has its cycle. Those who are
at the bottom gradually come
to the top; then power and
wealth deteriorate and they
go back to the bottom again.
Even the stock market has
its cycles. Moody counts ten

Your vote is important, make no mistake
about it. With it we will either join in
endorsing a vital plan or we will turn our
backs on it . . . and at the same time
turn our backs on our future growth. With-
out industrial expansion there is litple hope
of holding qur young people at hpme.
High school graduation each year is
made doubly sad by the realization that
these young people, to survive, must give
the benefit of their drive, ambition and
abilities to some other city because we
have so few job opportunties to offer.
In nationwide competition for industry,
nothing is free. Total dependence on luck
and the courage of a few produces few
rewards. The $2,500 to be raised by this
industrial proposal would enable the In-

English History
During the past summer, I
have been reading a most
complete history of England.
It consists of seven volumes
and about six thousand pages.
It is entitled THE PICTORI-
AL HISTORY OF ENGLAND,
published by W. and R.
Chambers of London, Eng-
land, about 1850. The story
consists of continual crises
beginning with the year 56
B. C. As one reads these vol-
umes, he thinks that England
could not possibly last more
than a hundred years. The
serfs were continually fight-
ing to get a litle property
and freedom, while those who
inherited their property lived
in great castles. The conflict,
however, was much the same
as today.
From my reading of his-
tory I see no possibility of
either Democracy or Com-
munism being wiped out.
Both will be suppressed at
certain times in certain na-
tions, but will rise up again
in other nations. Whether, in
the final analysis, it will be
the same old struggle with
each group alternately be-
coming stronger, or whether
the two groups will gradually
merge by becoming more
alike, no one can tell.
East Versus West
At present, the Communist
nations consist of Russia,
China, and their satellites,
with India more or less on the
fence. These Communist
countries are controlled by
Dictators and hence are more
efficient In time of war
(whether cold or hot) than
are the Democratic nations.
The Dictators of these
countries can control the news
and actions of the people
much better than can the
President and the Congress of
any Democratic coun-
ty. Furthermore, I belelve
