THE BANKER'S ADVICE.
THE
I
EVOLUTION of the banking
business during the past two de
cades or so has been marked: but
no more marked than has been the
.. evolution of the public's attitude to
ward the banker. The public now
'depends upon the banker not only for
the safe handling of deposits but for
-5
expert and dependable advice as to
investments and similar matters so
that the bank is not only an institu-
tion with b. vault and strongbox but
with ft heart and a mind as well.
i "People are getting away from the
X
Idea that bankers are. a cold lot of
men too busy to discus3 investments
with the average person" said K. C.
Bfearne prominent fort "Worth bank-j
eir -recently. "Instead the people j
( are .gradually beginning to feel that
their tanker's opinion on proposed
.investments is a prerequisite to the
investment. It makes the bankers
feel good to know that the Investing
. public feel we are here to serve them
3n!any capacity whatever. Heretofore
people especially those with a small
'amount to invest -have shied at the
iflidealof consulting a banker as to mak-
ing investments; but last year saw
this feeling disappearing. Our cus-
tomers came to us for "-advice on all
kinds of investments' large and small.
They began to realize that it is part
' of the banker's business to keep up
with the doings of the financial world
and that he was willing and even
glad" to advise them about investing
their savings."
The lbss of thousands nay of mil-
lions of dollars in worthless stock
investments may have "taught the
people a lesson. But it is good to
note that whatever may have caused
vit the public is now turning to the
banker as the expert and dependable
advisor on all matters of a financial'
character for it means that in future
there will be a minimum of the sort of
.investments which enriched fraudu-
lent stock promoters and sent many
of them to jail.
The community looks to its min-
isters for religious advice. to its doc-
tors for health advice to its lawyers;
for legal advice to its- editors for all
kinds of advice; why should it not
go to the banker for financial advice
since he is the one man who keeps
himself posted as to financial mat-!
ters knows exactly the financial con-
dition of the investor as well as the
prabable value of the proposed in-
vestment and realizes that upon the
success of the people of the commun-
ity depends his own business success?
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
BECAUSE they are deficient in
English about ten per cent of
the candfdates for degrees at the Uni-
versity of Texas are doing extra work
now in order to meet the tests which
will come before the coveted sheep-
sin is awarded! The lack of ability
to write and speak clear forceful
English bars any student from a de-
gree according to the University au-
thorities and a surprisingly large
number are affected by the ruling.
There must be a reason somewhere
for such a condition as that existing
among the University upper-class-znama"
At some point during the years
of their school work a mistake was
made else-they would not' approach
the end of their fourth year of Uni-
versity work with an insufficient
knowledge of the English language.
The educational survey now being
made ought to be able to discover
the point at which such mistakes oc-
cur and to recommend remedies. AVe
have long suspected that the fault be-
gins before graduation from High!
School for the modern tendency is to
substitute for "reading writing and
arithmetic" the "three R's" all
manner of fancy courses designed to
be "practical" and not so difficult
and uninteresting as ordinary Eng-
lish or mathematics. And if there is
inadequate preparation In English
there is certain to be inadequate prep
aration in other fundamental courses
which ought to be required before a
college degree or a High School di
plomais awarded to any candidate.
In these days one gets a great deal
of schooling but not always an equiv-
alent amount of real education.
Less than twenty-four - hours after
the crime was committed a. 'Ken
tucky negro had heon given a- jury
trial and a sentence of death and was
on his way to the state penitentiary
for execution. Justice must " be
prompt. The passions of tile mob
are aroused by delay.
The mysterious loan of $100000 to
former Secretary Fall by Mr. Doheny.
has some marks of similarity to a loan
of $156000.00 made in Texas a few
years ago.
Tips for Tax Payers
TITS TOR TAXPAYERS.
No. 11.
To determine his net income a tax-
payer must first compute his gross in-
come. - Regardless of the amount of
net income upon which the tax is as-
sessed a return is required of every
individual whose gross income for
1923 was $5000 or more. Gross in-
come includes salaries wages and
compensation- for personal services
rendered and "gains profits and in-
come from professions vocations
trades businesses commerce sales or
dealings in property real or personal
or the transaction of any busi-
ness carried on for profit or gains or
profits and income derived from any
source whatever." Net income is
gross income less certain specifled de-
ductions for husiness expenses losses
bad debts contributions etc.
Taxpayers may be divided Into four
general classes the wage earner or
salaried class business professional
and agricultural. AH compensation
for personal services received by a
salaried person or wage carder is in-
come including salaries commis-
sions bonuses fees pensions paid
retired employes and tips.
The gross Income of the usual busi
ness consists of the gross profits on
sales together with income from In-
vestments and from incidental or out
side operations or sources. The re
turn must show the gross sales pur
chases and cost of goods sold. To
reflect net Income correctly in any
business in which the production piir-
cnase or sale or merchandise is an
income-producing factor inventories
are necessary at the beginning and
end of each taxable year.
j. ne lawyer doctor architect au
thor dentist clergyman or other
professional man must include all
fees salaries and compensation for
professional services.
The farmer is required to report as
gross iucome all profits -derived from
uie saio or exenange or larm pro
ducts and livestock whether producecl
on the farm or purchased and resold.
The fair market value of groceries or
merchandise exchanged for farm pro
ducts must be included also profits
from renting a farm on the Crop-share
basis and the rental and sale of farm
lands.

"Delichtfully blendinctho emotions
of two girls of Contrasting natures in
search of romance "Wandering
Daughters" James Young's First Na
tional picture vprsion of an original
story by Dana Burnet comes to the
Lyric Theatre today for a two days
snowing.
Devoid of the dry sentiment? of so
many pictures dealing with timely
topics "Wandering Daughters ' is said
to be pleasingly different and highly
entertaining drama appealing to the
most discriminating critics of the
croen.
Revealing the adventures of two
debuntantes enamored of a male vamp
and their activities in his company.
'Wandering Daughters" develops
many unusual angles and numerous
surprising situations as it runs its
length according to its critics and
the entrance of two respective fathers
Into the social affairs -of their inex-
perienced daughters is reported both
amusing and highly dramatic.
Marjorie Daw and Mauguerite do la
Motte are cast as the two principal
"wandering daughters" and William
V. Mong Noah Beery and Allen For-
rest are assigned the leading male
roles.

Convention Work
Making Satisfactory
Progress in Planning
The Central committee which has
in hand the arrangement of all local
details concerning the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce convention at
Brownwood In May Is moving stead-
ily ahead appointing sub-committees
and attending to such other matters
in connection with the work in hand
as are necessary at this time. The
entire local machinery is now moving
in harmony and as the days pass
perfect order ig being reached in re-
gard to all local features.
One of the very Important commit-
tees is the Finance committee which
is as follows: George Kidd John T.
Yantis Fred S. Abney O. C. Walker
Ward McConnell. It is probable that
this committee will have an interest-
ing report to make in the near future.
On the Housing committee Mrs. D. F.
Johnson is one of the members in-
stead of Mrs. D. J. Johnson who will
aonear on other important assign
ments and duties in connection with
the vast amount of work to bo done.
The outlook for a great convention
grows more satisractory uay oy iay
and as the various committees finally
settle down to their respective lines
of work great things will be accom-
plished in the right way.
