Automobiles for Highway-
Department are Costly to
Taxpayers.
The following sample of prices
paid for automobiles for the
Highway Department indicates
the economy practiced by that
Department. This brand of
economy is what the taxpayers
are trying to get away from.
The Dallas News re|k>rt8 the fol-
lowing:
Austin, Texas, June 20.—The
Highway Commission has bougt
a new seven-passenger touring
car at a cost of more than
$5,500 fortheuse of its members
who will use it on their tours of
inspection. It may be broken in
on the West Texas good will
tour. The commission gave four
old cars in trade at $1,402 and
will pay $4,193 cash when the
new car is delivered.
How Texas Grows.
Boston Herald: Do we New
Englanders realize that Texas—
whose Governor has recently
been visiting us—while univer-
sally known as the largest State
in the Union, stands a good
chance of becoming tbe most
.populous, too? Watch the
trend. In the assignment of
seats that followed the admission
•of Texas iuto the Union, and for
the whole of the decade that fol
lowed, Texas had just two con-
gressional districts, based upon
population,as against thirty lour
io New York. Roughly speak-
ing, Texas was one seventeenth
'as populous By the Civil War
census of I860, Texas came to
the front with four congression-
al districts, as against thirty-
one in New York; a little more
thi'.u one eighth as populous
The next, census stand five Tex-
ans to thirty three New York-
ers, a little better than one-sixth.
The decade of the eighties gave
Texas eleven to New York's
thirty four, close to one third.
'I lie n xt census stood thirteen
Tex a ns to thirty-four New
Yfirkers. Then came sixteen
Texans to thiity seven New
Yorkers. Now it is eighteen
Texas seats to forty three for
New York.
The disparity in area is so
great as to give Texas a wonder
ful opportunity. It has 265.000
square miles against New York's
49,000. II Texas were one fifth
as thickly settled as New York
per square mile it would have
the larger population. Is that
ratio impossible of achievement?
The Texans say no.

Blind Girl Is the Editor of
Biggest Magazine in
World.
Miss Helen Day of New York,
who has been bliud since she was
ten years old, is now tbe editor
of "The Searchlight," a maga-
zine foe the blind written in
Braille. Her magazine is per-
haps the most bulky periodical
in the world, the average issue
being over three inches thick, al-
though it contains fewer words
than any other quarterly in cir-
culation. This is because of the
size of the lettering. Each num-
ber contains only about 2000
words in all, hut the bocSk is so
large that it is inconvenient
to hold.
For eight years Miss Day,
though sightless and almost to-
tally deaf, has been one of the
busiest editors in New York.
Seated each day before a Braille
Typewriter in her office in her
mother's home in Harlem, she
edits copy, reads proof and se
lects manuscripts for her maga-
zine, which is seut all over the
(Jolted States to readers who
cannot see.
Can Business Regulate Itself?
The way is now open, accord-
ing to Judge Edwin B. Parker,
chairman of the board of the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, for setting up the
machinery by which business and
government can co-operate to
eleminate wasteful and question-
able trade practices.
He urged, in an address before
the domestic distribution section
of the national chamber, the or-
ganization of joint trade rela-
tions committees along vertical
lines to pass upon trade customs
and practices which are a
source of waste. The findings of
the committees, he said, can be
passed upon by the Federal
Trade Commission in the interst
of the general public.
"Where representative individ-
uals in each branch of an indus-
try agree." said Judge Parker,
that a particular practice consti-
tutes a trade abuse, it is apt to
be such. However, there is an-
other interested class—the ulti-
mate cousumer—whose voice
should be heard that the trade
as a whole may not gain any un-
due or selfish advantage at his
expeuse. This class may be
properly represented by the Fed-
eral Trade Commission, a wholly
disinterested public agency.
When the joint trade relations
committee, formed in the man
uer which has been suggested,
agrees that a particular practice
constitutes a trade abuse and its
reports is approved by the Fed-
eral Trade Commission. it may
be accepted as not ouly in the in
terest of the trade, but in the
general public interest.

To any soul, to you or me?
The best friend is an atmosphere
Warm with all inspiration dear.

Of life that hath uo taint or

Our friend is an unconcious part
Of every true beat of our
heart;
A strength, a growth whence
we derive

An Editorial
From the S<ju Saba Nws:
We are going to vote against
the "salary grab" amendment
to be voted on in August. This
anient would raise the salary of
the Goveuor from $4000 a year
to $10,000, the salaries of the
members of the Legislature from
$5 00 and mileage to $1,500 a
year, or $'3,000 for each two
years term, and would also give
the Legislature power to fix all
State salaries. The Govenor's
Mansion is furnished for him and
a liberal allowance for upkeep,
repairs, servants, etc. The raise
in member salaries would be in
the neighborhood of half a mil-
lion dollars and all this would
be adding to the already heavy
tax burdens of the people who
do all the paying. And the Leg-
islature has already condemed
itself as a "salary grabber" by
raising the salary of every judge
in the state. They tell us the
judges have been underpaid. 1
tell them that if there never had
been a salary raise there would
never have been a resignation on
account of salary. Since the or-
ganization of the State there has
never been a vacancy iu office
but that there were from a doz
en to a hundred applicants for
the job. Swat 'em all, people.
It is the ouly safe way.
"Spare" Stocking Latest Fad
Women who care a rip about
their hosiery may now buy their
stockiugsjn "threes," as well as
in pairs. With the "spare" car-
ried in the handbag, women no
longer need worry about runs,
tears or spots from spattering
motor cars. Apart from its
complication of the problem of
Christmas giving and receiving,
t his innovation is a colorful com-
mentary on the high pressure of
life in the great cities—a "three-
stocking" girl may be no quicker
ou the draw than her "two-hose"
sister, but tbe odds just natural-
ly give her the drop. Perhaps
men will see in the emergency
changes only another reason
why telephone booths seem al-
ways "busy."—Nations Business

Deflated Heroes.
Quauab Tribune-Chief:
Most men are very brave
when they have tbe advantage.
Matthew Kitaes, the Oklahoma
bandit, reputed to be the most
dangerous desperado in Oklaho-
ma, turned out to be an arrant
cowurd when the Arizona offi-
cers got the drop on him.
State Press, Dallas News:
Matt Kitnes proved himself
made of the same sleazy stuff
other melodramatic bandits are
made of He was a killer when
he could kill with.safety to him-
self! He was a bad young man
herding unarmed bank cashiers
into the vault. He was bad
when lie got the drop on luck-
let's deputies. . . But when be
sauntered up to the Grand Can-
yon and got an eyeful of the
dusty Arizona Sheriff's gun he
squeaked and surrendered. He
was quick to shoot others when
they couldn't shoot him, but he
mortally -bated to be shot him-
self. All bandits are heroes on-
ly in their own and similar
minds. They are, like Kimes,
1 illiterate braggarts, itchy for no-
toriety and ready to whimper
when their jig is up. . .
