piained to soma extent tho crimo wave

Outlines Platform.
Judeo Barker dwolt brleflv on the
planks in hla platform in which he
fmontlonod first tho proposition of the
CWcst Toxaa A. and M. College. "I'm
ifor tho West Texas A. and M. College
(first last and all tho time" said Mr!
Barker. "If you send mo to the Sen-
Hate ovctrytlmo the "West Texas A. and
EM. College is mentioned I'm going- to
woto for it.
S "X have no promlso to mako you
?when I ask for your voto othor than
Uo say that if oloctcd I'll do my very
Cheat In tho matters that como up in
;tho Senate. You all well know that
4t would bo useless to tell you that I
rtvlll do something down thor'o unless
-X can Ret sovoral hundred other men
to think Ilka T thinly trnt.un t ...-.
So say to you that I faVor amending
hls law few criminals In the oil .iolds

tiary and the vast majority go free
iinder tho suspended acntonce. I bo
3nal law. and that tho law Is very
tnuefc all a. It we aro to have- good
laws wo should enforce them
"My remedy of the suipondcd sen-
tence law l to establish an age limit
for its workings I would not allow
anvono to plead tho suspended sen
tencoyho fa. pvjjr Xwonty-qnojyears of
"Another proposition' f want to
mention is tho matter of taxation
West Toxas pays a urcatcr proportion
of taxes Into tho Stato Treasury than
East Texas whero the.riohe;rrpovmtjoa
are located. We pay mora taxes ac-
cording to our valuation fhffh Hast
Texas. Tho reason of this Is becauso
hore in west Toxas whero tho popula-
tion I thin nd tho country undavtlon.
ed avb havo to put a htBltcrvaluatloh
on our property In ordor to pay for tho
court nouses school houses good
roads sinking fund etc and honco
tho individual has to nay hlfthor taxes
according to actual valuation. Thon
tho State qomes along: and puts tho
name high valuation on nur property
ana wo nave tn pay tp tno State in tho
same proportion ns wo Co to tho coun-
ty Over in East Toxas tho population
is denso tho country is more tlovolop-
cd most of tho court houses and good
roads are paid for tho commissioners
oourt puts a low valuation on tho
land and henco they don't havo much
taxes to pay. Then tho stato comes
along and puts that samo low valua
tion on tno land.
"My remedy Is to havo a Stato Cfiual-
lzatlon board that will levy a valuation
on all property acordlns to actual val-
uation and' not according to tho run
ning expenses of tho rcspcctlvo coun-
ties. Is For School Aid.
"Everywhere I go I am askod the
question Are you for Stato Aid for
thn tMlrnl Britannia T n.. v.aiitiAM.t..n
u. law giving tho counties in Toxas tho
power to voio in mo respective pre-
cincts n maximum tax of fl00 to bo
unfilled on tho school atd fund In thnr
precinct. If tho results of this law
docs not yield enough money for tho
schools then I'm for Stnto Aid for ru
ral scnoois.
I'Thfl 1nf 1fti-la1ntiiiA nnixi.l n lw
on motor trucks requiring a 4 o. or

inero nro in jjast Texas tho rucic
Industry is a big industry In Vest
Texas.STVhen put into effect this new
truck law Will pret-ont the- trucks from
operating on account of tho excessive
tax. This law was passed ostensibly
for tho protection of tho railroads. Wo
aro now paying tho railroads moro
than Wo over did before. I want to
say to Vou that Jf you send me to tho
nunato I will voto to rcpcall this truck
law. By tho way this Is one of Mr.
Burkott's laws ho votod fdr It and de
fends it on the stump.
"Now Just a word about Mr. Burkett.
Ho (s our present; representative from
Eastland and Stephens Counties. A-
oto for Barker does not hurt Mr. Bur-
kett. A vota for Mr Burkett defeats
mo and causes a vacancy In tho house
Of representatives. Why didn't ho re-
sign from that offlco when ho an-
nounced for the Sonato and lot ono
election flit both vacancies? Ho
wanted n cinch on ono of the Jobs. Ho
wants to play heads I win and tails
you low. It Is a question of only ono
thing with Mr Burkett satisfying hlq
ambition nnd forco on you another
election.
"A voto for 3. D. Barkor keops Mr.
Burkott In tho Homo oi Representa-
tives. Whon you voto for Barkor you
voto for two West Toxas men. Why
should wo elect Mr Burkett just to
riatisiy mi ambition. I think Mr. Bur-
kett mikes a good representative and
I promlto to back him ' i the Senate
It you will elect me."
