HELPING TO
BUILD TEXAS
SEES HEAVY CLAIMS
ON FUTURE BANKERS
Mr. Sterling Accepts
The Challenge
»
Mr. Sterling, in his opening address
at Huntsville, must have disconcerted
certain of his opponents who had pre-
viously been rather gleeful over the
fact that the Houston candidate was
irrevocably "tied to" the State high-
way bond issue and who had antici-
pated his slurring it over in the pre
sent gubernatorial race. Mr. Sterling
did not slur it. Instead, he paramount-
ed it and met the issue squarely. The
question is, as Mr. Sterling explains,
/ whether State highways shall be built
scientifically under a unified program
by the State itself or wheather they
shall be built haphazardly by county
action, a^ has been the case in the past,
He is personally, of course, under the
conviction that the efficient and sensi-
ble thing to do is to employ the State to
bond itself as a whole at the same time,
Mr. Sterling disclaims any stubborn-
ness of opinion.He has, he says, an open
mind on the subject and, if the Leg
islature can suggest a better solution,
he is willing to adopt it. Eventually, at
any rate, he makes plain, the entire
problem is one for the people to decide
upon. The issue, as it now stands, is
not whether Mr. Sterling himself is
for the State bond issue, but whether
the people of Texas would like to have
the matter submitted to them through
legislative action for their possible
rejection or approval.
Mr. Sterling, dealing with the same
subject, also pointedly met the critic-
ism that the proposed $350,000,000
bond issue would saddle the people of
Texas with a hopeless debt. It is un-
doubtedly a fact that nine out of ten
voters in Texas do not understand the
bond proposal. The mere stupendous-
ness of the amount involved scares
them away from any analysis of just
■what is suggested. Mr. Sterling, how-
ever, leads his audience persuasive-
ly up to the genie and shows them tha"
it is of the benevolent species, after
all. The adoption of the program, he
asserts, will not raise taxes; it will
lower them. The farmers, the rancher
and the small property owner will
obtain relief rather than an addition-
al load. Counties, moreover, will have
refunded to them bond money already
raised at a sacrifice. The cost of th
highways will be borne by those who
get the greatest value from them. Th
bond issue will be secured, not by a
tax upon the lands, houses or person-
al property, but by a tax upon gaso-
line.
The Houston candidate, in short
bids fair to make his greatest politi-
cal capital out of what had previously
been regarded as the weakest of his
assets. That this is true would seem
to be borne out by the reaction of the
Walker County audience to Mr. Sterl-
ing's discussion of his State highway
and bond issue plank. The speaker's
declaration that the "politicians would
deny the counties a refund" of their
bond money by refusing to allow the
people to vote on the question of wheth-
er they want Texas as a State to as-
sume unified control of its highway
construction or not was applauded
more vigorously than any other pass-
age of his speech, according to the
News' correspondent.—Dallas Morning
News.
Wheather the new fashions in skirts
are sensible or not is not the question.
They're pretty.
The 8-mile spur track built by the
Santa Fe to get access to the West
Dallas industrial district is nearing
completion. Contract for a $4,000,000
passenger and freight terminal and
warehouse at Fort Worth has been
let by the Texas & Pacific. Santa Fe
is building a $250,000 storehouse and
platform at Cleburne.
Texas towns and cities also are go-'
ing ahead. Amarillo voted $150,000;
for street paving and $25,000 for park!
improvements. Waco's new city hall
is ready for occupancy. Perryton has
a new $50,000 hospital. Spearman, J
Eagle Pass, Bryan are added to the!
long list of Texas communities pro- [
viding funds for handsome new school!
buildings. Port Arthur let contract for
a $247,000 pleasure pier.
American Bankers Association
Official Declares That Banking
Changes Creating Large B?. nk
Systems Will Call for BroaJer
Social Viewpoints.
The fifth annual West Texas Press
Association will be held in Abilene
July 11. A program representing all
Texas has been announced by Jimmy
Smith of Snyder, including as speak-
ers Joe J. Taylor of Dallas, "Mefo"
Foster of Houston, Jim Lowry of Hon-
ey Grove, Erasmus Tack of Amarillo,
Amon G. Carter of Fort Worth and
Charley Guy of Lubbock. For the in-
formation of all concerned, the West
Texas Press Association always has
a good convention.
Grapevine is intei'esting an Indiana
sewer pipe concern in the fine clays
found in that section. Flatonia is go-
ing in for poultry with more than 50,-
000 baby chicks distributed there this
spring. An egg-breaking plant is an
early result. Cameron's cheese plant is
going ahead with increased milk re-
ceipts and "farmers more interested in
dairying and diversification." Gorman
is seeking a potato curing plant. Work
on the Big Spi'ing terminals of the
Texas & Pacific is progressing rapid-
ly—total cost $2,000,000.
Potato shipments from the Valley
will exceed considerably the total of
1,650 last year, according to the Donna
News, and will go well past the 2,000-
car mark. The average price per car
to the shipper is $1,000. The first car-
load shipments of roastings ears and
tomatoes-were shipped from the Valley
recently. The Swift poultry and pro-
duce plant at Taylor, employing 75
persons and furnishing a market for
Williamson Country poultry and dairy
products, was recently put into opera-
tion. East Texas Canning Co. plans a
branch cannery at Jasper where it is
expected to raise 300 carloads of truck
of all kinds this year.
Dick Andrus, formerly of Diamond,
Okla., has entered the Texas newspa-
per field with the purchase of the
Wheeler News-Review and the Mo-
beetie News. Would-be buyers of the
Kerrville Mountain Sun were so num-
erous that Mrs. W. A. Salter asked the
Texas Press Association Bulletin to
announce that it positively was not on
the market. P. S. N. editor attended
and enjoyed the Heart o' Texas meet-
ing at Llano and the East Texas meet-
ing at Paris. These devoted to busi-
ness almost exclusively and are do-
ing a very helpful work for the Four-
th Estate. Attendance at the Corpus
Christi meeting of the Texas Press
Association may set a new record.
San Angelo seems likely to win the
1931 meeting and Port Arthur is get-
ting in line for the 1932 session. Riv-
alry among cities for the T. P. A. is
so strong that almost invariably it
requires two years to land it.
—TRY A BEACON WANT AD—
Only relatively is there any slow-'
ing up in Texas' industrial advance-
ment, and there are many projects,
large and small, under way, starting
or projected in various towns over the
state. American Cynamid is reported
to have secured options on land at
Corpus Christi for a plant to manu-
facture fertilizers and chemicals and
using a lot of sulphur from the Duval
County mines. Donna and San Benito
are slated to get concrete plants, ac-
cording to the San Juan Sentinel.
Mente & Co., New Orleans, are es-
tablishing a branch bagging factory
at Houston to employ 75 workers on
a site purchased from the Missouri
Pacific. Paso-Tex Petroleum Co. is
spending a million and a quarter on
an additional unit to its El Paso refin-
ery. Placing of machinery in the Mar-
ble Falls plant of Certified Labora-
tories is proceeding preliminary to
manufacturing surgical gauze and oth-
er products used by the medical pro-
fession.

Larger scale group or branch bank-
ing will Inevitably bring a new era of
banking organization and operations
to the United States and bankers v, ill
have to develop "new conceptions, v ow
administrative methods and new eco-
nomic views," Rudolf S. Ileclit, Chair-
man of the Economic Policy Conuls-
sion of the American Bankers Asso !a-
tion, recently told the members of the
American Institute of Banking.
The Institute is the educational r ac-
tion cf the association and he enn ia-
slzed the point that the new era in
hanlcing demanded "that we must s.jp-
up our education so that banking si all
be fortified for new responsibiliti a."
What the Future Calls For
"Wo must broaden our social con. op-
tion of banking," Mr. Heclit said. "..Tot
only for the technical operations of he
new banking must wo fit ourselves, but
both as individuals and an organ' ed
profession we must charge oursc". es
with serious consideration of the so-
cial problems that are Involved. Al-
ready we hear murmurings and fears
and doubts as to whether the charges
that are coming about in hanking in
the extension of group and branch sys-
tems do not constitute the lonmiiv of
a new financial menace, a monopolize
threat not only to the individual t ail,
banker, but to the financial liberty of
society in general. I am stating tl :so
things merely as facts that must be
taken into consideration in our stuCes.
"Public opinion cannot he ignored
by any business, least of all by b. ik-
ing, which is admittedly semt-pv ':11c
in character and is, therefore, sul oct
to special supervision by the co :ti-
tuted authorities. If banking devc'ips
tendencies that give rise to p\-' lie
fears, we must so conduct oursr.ves
as to reassure all doubts.
"For this is true,—that business r.uc-
ceeds only by serving society—that no
business can permanently prosper
which does not both render service to
the public and at the same time con-
vince the public that it is rendering
that service. Banking, therefore, must
t.alte cognizance of what the publk; is
saying of this now era in its develop-
ment.
"It must bo part of tho technique
of modern banking administration,
whatever form our enlarged institu-
tions take, to avoid tho creation of
monopolies, or even the appearance of
such a centralization of financial
power as to he ablo to exercise an un-
due Influence over public or private
finance or other lines of business. The
public's right to the safeguards of fair
competition must ha observed.
Must Preserve Individual Initiative
"It, must nlso be an item of man-
agement that individual initiative and
opportunity shall be maintained. If
America has outstripped other nations
iu (lie distribution of the benefit:? of
its progress, it is due to the fact that
there are no barriers of social caste
or business tradition against advr.nce-
ment for character, ability, and initia-
tive. American business has learned
'.hat. it serves itself best by encorraf,-
'sg by every practical means ind."vid-
;:al ambition and initiative, and ln;rti
itself most by repressing or negler'inr-
them. Competition for efficiency, hot]'
-.vlthin an organization and betveer
organizations, will prevent, any i.:3t'
i.ution from long enduring in which
maintenance of opportunity and recog-
nition of initiative are not cont.ro;!inr
principles of management. As h idr:
if the greatest of our financial and lii-
lustrial institutions staud men v.'hr
started from the humblest of be ".in
ningn. Through a'1 the grades of ex-
ecutive authority and reward stand
men in positions in keeping, gene-, ally
■peaking, with their individual merits
I, personally, see no reason for fer./inr.
i.hat. the enlarged banking organiza-
;ions which tho future may hold wuld
necessarily supply future bank em-
ployees with any less opportunity (01
achievement than unit, banking.
"Again, a major consideration cT ad
ministration in an" multiple for' v, oi
banking organization must be its ;-ub-
ilc relations in every community if
couches. ■ Its foremost consider: ion
must, bo actually and visibly to rrvc
he economic upbuilding of that • nr.
nunity. No system will be long tol
jrat.ed whose local members work, c
ire suspected as working, t.o drav.
"oonomic strength from one place t(
tilarge the finanlcal power of another.
The local unit bank has always been
part and parcel of tho communities:
where it lives—and no system can last
which does not. make it a major prin-
ciple of operating technique to cerve,
and net. exploit, tho communities into
.vhose business lircn it enters."
Growth of Banking Education
DENVER, Colo.—At. the American
Institute of Banking convention held
here last month the growth in the
effort, among bank employees to pro-
vide themselves with banking cduca-
tion was shown by the fact, as re-
ported by one speaker, that 12 years
r,go the institute had SO study chap-
ters, today 208, and that its enroll-
ment in the study courses had grown
from 11,000 to 4K.O00, or an increase
of over 800 per cent. The graduates
number nearly 14,000. The institute
is the educational section of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association through
which bank workers are given instruc-
tion in theoretical and practical sub-
jects relating to their business.

Parsley is no longer considered sim-
ply a bit of green to dress up a plate
of cold meat or a potato salad.
Few people realize the interesting
flavor that may be added to salads,
soups, sandwich fillings, and cream
sauces by the use of finely chopped
parsley in rather liberal amounts.
Parsley forms tho chief ingredient
of a delicious sandwich spread to be
used with sliced meat, cheese, or egg.
A cup of chopped parsley mixed with
two tablespoons salad dressing may
be used for four sandwiches. In cream
soups, one-half tablespoon finely chop-
ped parsley per cup of soup adds fla-
vor and color and is especially good
in potato, celery and tomato soups.
For creamed vegestables, one table-
spoon of the minced green may be
added to one cup of white sauce. This
also makes a delicious sauce for cro-
quettes and for salmon or meat loaf.
The parsley may very conveniently
be cut into bits with scissors. To avoid
the muddy-looking green particles in
a white sauce, the parsley should be
minced finely and placed in a square
of cheese cloth so that it may be wash-
ed under the faucet. It should be press-
ed well with the lingers to wash out the
grayish moisture. The result will be
attractive bright green specks in the
white sauce. Another precaution to
observe is that of adding the minced
parsley to the sauce just before serv-
ing.

KNOW TEXAS
Texas led all the states in pro-
duction of crystalline graphite in 1929.
One Texas gas field—there are sev-
eral others, some almost or quite as
important—is estimated to have 8,000
billion cubic feet in available reserve.
Texas had 7,021 farms electrically
served from transmission lines at the
end of 1929. This represented a gain
of 1,236 over 1928, but only 1.5 per
cent of the 405,046 farms in the state.
Texas has more prisoners confin-
ed for violation of the prohibition
law than any other state in the union
and more than 32 other states com-
bined 011 that count. (Authority:
Representative Bachman, W. Va.)
Measured by the electrical output
yardstick, business conditions in Texas
are eight times as good as the aver-
age over the United States. For the
last three months Texas' electrical
output gained 8 per cent against an
average over the United States of 1
per cent.
DING, DONG
DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK
. By Edson R. Waite

That advertising has the power of
suggestion, which creates a desire to
possess.
Continuous advertising is the most
effective kind.
Continuous advertising causes read-
ers to form a friendly feeling towards
the concerns advertising and makes
customers and prospective customers
realize that only the best in quality
is continuously advertised.
Persistency in advertising is un-
questionably the greatest force in the
building of business. It increases turn-
over and breaks down sales resistance.
Truthful advertising of quality
means satisfied customers. It is build-
ing better business everywhere for
those who use its aid.
Advertising is the Magnet that at-
tracts the attention of all. It reminds
the people of everything they need.
Business concerns who handle well
advertised lines and back them up
with local advertising are tho ones
who profit most.
Only the concerns who are continu-
ous advertisers can successfully sur-
vive competition.
Business men who do not believe in
advertising are just sleeping,, while
local competitors, neighboring cities,
door to door peddlers and mail order
houses are getting the business they
should get.

To get an adequate appreciation of the
real value of Electricity in household
work, one needs only to visualize the
home without Electricity.
Such a home would be poorly lighted
with kerosene lamps, or other make-
shifts, filling the air with unpleasant and
probably unhealthful fumes, and caus-
ing a great deal of troublesome and
sometimes dangerous work in cleaning
and filling lamps and carrying them
about the house to provide light where
needed.
There could be novacuum sweeper, elec-
tric percolator, fan, or other conven-
ience to help make home pleasant.
Contrast this picture with the Electrically-
served home, where abundant, safe
light is available in all rooms at the turn
of a switch; where numerous inexpen-
sive electric appliances eliminate work
and make housekeeping easy.
The miracle of Electricity is that this
great value is available at a cost of less
than a dime a day.
#*
Truly, the r esident of the Electrically-
served community has much to be
thankful for.
