Ing. It appeared, that the amendment
was doomed.
Issue Is Revived.
Commissioner Fowler emphatically
stated last night at the Driski Hotel
that the campaign would go forward
from now on in the Interest of the
amendment; that organization to that
end was being rapidly perfected; that
he was surprised at the action of some
of the committeemen who met in Aus-
tin in not showing more combative-
new when the idea of abandoning the
campsign came forward. Some of the
members, he intimated, were as strong
for the campaign as ever, but had
been outnumbered in Austin and ac-
quiesced for the time being, that keing
the best they could do to keep down
friction and misunderstanding. At
Waco yesterday Commissioner Fowler
said, in substance, among other things,
that the proposed amendment was not
a bond issue, but simply an "enabling
act" Whereby the legtslture would be
empowered to raise money to build
roads. He stated that only one-tenth
of tbs amount sought after would be
levied at once, that amount being
37.600,040, and that the other amount
would be levied from year to year. He
further dectared that the legislator*
was empowered to levy taxes to mam-
tain the University of Texas. Texas
A and M. College, the public school*
and other similar institutions, and that
all these were necessary and vital to
the well being of the community, but
that the proposed tax for roads was
just as necessary as the other causes,
and should be provided for It was his
belief that the forthcoming revenue
from erode oil would more than pay
thin amonnt
Generous Donation to Milk Fund.
A hundred dollar check was received ।
yesterday for the baby milk fund for
Austin from Major George W. Little-
field. The committee was very grate-
ful to receive this generous donation,
which will help very much in keeping
the underfed poor babies of the city
supplied with the food they need.

Highway Commissioner C. F. Fowler,
who spent last night here, had just
returned from Waco, at which place
directors of the Texas Automobile
Dealers’ Association endorsed the pro-
posed constitutional amendment soon
to be voted on whtch will permit Texas
to issue bonds or levy taxes to the
amount of $75,000,000 to build perma-
nent State hizhways.
Mr. Fowler Aroused.
Commissioner Fowler addressed the
meeting. which was held at the Ra-
leigh Hotel, and afterwards addressed
a meeting of the Waco Lions, where
he was invited to make a second ad-
drees and responded to the invitation.
When he arrived in Austin he was yet
full of vim and ardor, and stated in
no uncertain terms that steps would
be taken to revive interest in voting
favorably upon the proposed constitu-
tional amendment. He is already in
the field, and says that numbers of
others will join him; that the people
viu be reached over Texas: that the
campaign will not lag, as might have
been mpposed from the action of the
executive committee, whose duty it
was to keep alive interest in the cam-
paign and direct IL and which held a

Skilled mechanic* and electriclans
have a chance to entar the submarine
service of the United State* navy, ac-
cording to information received by
Chief Electrician L H. Seselons of the
recruiting service here this morning.
The men who “go down" are privi-
leged character* in the navy similar to
the men who "go up." They get extra
pay for the hazard at the rate of a
"dollar-a-dive," which i* very likely to
be a 50 per cent or more inereas in
pay.
Nearly all men aboard the aubma-
rines are either officers or petty offi-
cer* and chances of rapid promotion
are excellent.
"Every submarine commander is
standing by to promote those who de-
serve the ratings,” says the sea-goin’
