The Texas Highway Department puts a
yellow stripe down the center of a highway and
almost every motorist knows that means a
no-passing zone.
To prompt the motorist's memory, the de-
partment also puts up signs along highways
saying "Do not pass when yellow stripe is in
your lane," or something to that effect.
In other words, when you're driving, you
are to keep your vehicle to the right of the
yellow line.
A few miles east of Naples, at the edge of
Bassett, the highway department did some re-
pair work on the highway and detoured traffic
around the old highway while the main road
was under repair. Double yellow stripes were
painted from the center of the main highway
off the edge of the road and onto the detour.
Barricades and signs also pointed the way
around while a section of the highway was
closed.
But now the work has been finished. The
highway is in use again and the detour signs
and barricades have been taken down and haul-
ed away.
The only thing left is a double yellow
stripe at each end of the old detour. The one
at the west end leaves the center of the high-
way and trails off to the right of the pavement.
At the east end, the double yellow stripe angles
off from the center of the highway to the left
shoulder.
A motorist who heeds the advice of the
department not to cross the yellow stripe is in
for a rude jolt. If he's eastbound, the stripe
will lead him off a steep embankment at the
west end, or into the path of approaching traf-
fic at the east end.
A tired motorist, conditioned by years of
practice in staying on the right of the yellow
line, may not always be alert enough to notice
that the ones on Highway 67 near Bassett lead
nowhere except to a deep ditch and disaster.
The work has been completed on the high-
way and the stripers have outlived their useful-
ness by several weeks now.
The stripes ought to be removed before
they cause a serious accident.

Pamper in^ His Pet
SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Wonders if voters will be
asked about their finances '
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm tackles the
presidential candidates' finan-
cial statement problem in his
letter this week.)
Dear editar:
As I understand it. it's not
a Constitutional requirement,
it's just a new fad, but presi-
dential candidates and their
running mates are now pub-
lishing financial statements and
we have now heard from all cf
them, none of whom is living
in what you'd call a poverty
pocket.
What I'm wondering is if
the thing will spread and voters
will be expected to publish a
financial statement before vot-
ing?
If so, there's one point I'd
like to get over. I notice that
there is considerable argument
over the kinds of financial
statements the presidential and
vice presidential candidates
have published. Some are us-
ing figures based on what their
holdings cost, others on what
♦i <ty could be Fold for now.
This has brought on an ar-
gument, with one side arguing
what something cost is no basis
for determining what it is
•worth now. "That's nc way to
reflect your financial stand-
HAD VISITORS?
CALL US WITH YOUR NEWS
THE MONITOR
ing," they argue. "Publish the
true current figures."
Well. now. technically T sup-
pose maybe they're right, but
let's not go overboard about
it. There are times when a
cost basis is better than a sales
basis.
For example, take my 1946
model tractor. It'd show up a
lot better on a financial state-
ment at its cost when new 18
years ago than its current mar-
ket value, which I estimate is
around $135. if I could get all
four tires to stay up long
enough at the same time to get
it to town for an appraisal.
The same is true of my two
shares of General Livery Stable
stock, or the rubber-tired bug-
gy I've had in a shed out here
for years, holding it against
the day when man finally will
pump all the gasoline out of
the ground.
The current market value,
you see, is not always the best
basis for making a financial
statement, but on the other
hand, lots of times it can be
fine for tax assessing pur-
poses. A man who doesn't
know whether he's making
out a financial statement to
the bank or a tax report to
the tax assessor, he's in bad
shape to start with. I'm not
saying this is the way it ought
to be, only the way it is.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
