amount that could be hauled on 3001
roads is also a great big item of sav-
ing to you."
As has been pointed out. this
question of road improvement bonds
should be settled on its merits. Any
attempt to bring prejudice into the
calculation, to array any one set of
citizens against another, to cover up
the true points by unfair innuendoes,
insinuations or the like should be
deprecated. The question hinges it-
self on the one point: Do we want
good roads and are we willing to get
them in the only way that now ap-
pears possible—by a bond issue?
The originators of the movement
have done all they could unselfishly
and with only the interest of the

It greatly to t& ci

substantial r-cognlt'on to the farm-

the question—shall we have good

That's all there is to it. A vote for

we shall continue in the way we have

Modestly disclaiming the title: of

swered by the statement that the

N. Rayzor— a man who studies
cause and effect, digs out the root
of a question and gets at it- merits
as quickly as any. Get this, for in-
stance, from his Je-i-nt talk for gool
roads:
"Every dollar of the iimoun; too,
would be spent outside of the c ty
limits. It seems to me that the plan
presents one of the fairest and finest
propositions to get good roads that
has ever been offerel. If the town
people are willing to tax themselves
for good roads in the country, the
country man should not object. The
towi ma-^knows, however, that if his
town succeeds the country round-
about must succeed and in putting
better roads in the country districts
a big stride is taken toward bettering
the town."
That from a general standpoint.
Then read this from the farmer's:
"With a system of good roads you
could work in your crops during all
of the fair weather and when the
fields were too wet to work you
could bring in your crops and market
them, thus making every day a

It would he worth lo;s to Denton
county to secure the location of one
of the five new experiment, stations.
On the other hand. Denton county
offers advantages in the way of a di-
versity of soils that few counties in
the state possess, and an experiment
farm located here would be easy of
access to practically all of the black
land belt of counties. Dr. Harring-
ton. chief of the experiment stations,
recently gave out the following state-
ment concerning the location of these
new stations, which should be of in-
terest to Denton county and more es-
pecially to the Denton Chamber of
Commerce, The statement follows:
"The recent law passed by the
Thirty-first legislature establishing
additional experiment stations, pro-
vides that two of these stations
shall bo established west of the nine-
ty-eighth meridian, one of which
shall he in West Texas and one in
Northwest Texas; one shall be locat-
ed in what is known as the black
land belt, i.i Central or Northern
Texas, and one shall be in the rice
belt of South, or Southwest Texas,
and at such other points as said
board shall des'gnate. An appropria-
tion of $25,000 annually is made for,
the maintenance and support of such
-tations as shall be established by a
board consisting of the governor,
lieutenant governor and commission-
er of agriculture. It is probable,
therefore, that at least five new sta-
tions will ijr established, and per-
haps more, s'nee $5.00(i per year
will be sufficient for each station
when hind In donated by lease or
sale, even without any additional
bonus, but it is probable that most
of the competing plares will contrl-1
bute something more than thL. land, t
It is not, however, obligatory upon !
the board to requ're any donation of'
money or property when deciding on !
the location of the stations. The law
very properly gives the hoard discre
tion in the matter, i;, order that lo-
calities may be selected which will |
best serve the greatest number of,
farms.
"The law provides for experiments ;
in agriculture and horticulture, an 1 1
the feeding and fattening or live-
stock for slaughter. Thus a distinct i
recognition Is given the livestock in-1
dustry of the state, although the!
dairy industry ls not Included. There '
is much valuable work that can be I
done by these substations, and their
influence on agriculture will be of
far-reaching importance.
"Some of the states, not compar-
able with Texas in Tarlety of soil,
The advertising campaign for
more ctizens inaugurate' by the
Denton Chamber of Commerce is at-
tracting attention. The Fort Worth
Record, for instance, in a leading
editorial under the head. "Advertis-
ing n Town," SP.ys: )
' Get us tell you about Den-
ton, the city of schools. Address
Chamber of Commerce, box Z,
Denton, Texas."
Legitimate and systematic ad-
vertising is an art of proved val-
ue, and the Denton Calimber of
Commerce is to be congratulate !
upon recogn zing the utility of
judicious publicity.
Nowadays newspap . adver-
tisements are read as carefully
as news; indeed, more carefully
in many respects, for frequent-
ly the hurried man merely
catches the headlines. But tile
alert reader, however hurried
he may be, studies the adver-
tisements that happen to appeal
to his or her particular needs.
A man who has in mind a
change of location s sure to he
impressed with a 1'ra"1 k invita-
tion like this,
Th .. same intelligence iliat ad-
vertising nierch«^+= eiiipio} in
selling their wares will bring
returns adverti sing towns.
The advertisement will not draw
the settler or investor forth-
with, but it will inspire inquiry
and that, is as much as the ad-
vertising town can ask. It. sat-
isfies the adveitising merchant.
Without meaning i-.i this con-
nection 10 solicit the advertise-
ments of olier .owns and cities,
we suggest that I'exas newspa-
pers are more than generous in
publishing attractions of Tex-
as towns and communities, and
the example of Denton in paying
for a little space nilgfn be em-
ulated without offense to the
newspaper craft.
W» make bold to suggest,
also, that it would be well for
the Denton Chamber of Com-
merce to advertise its cor.u.v as
well as its town. It is worth as
much to get a good farmer as
to get a good urban citizen.
Regal'ding the last paragraph i
can be said'that the Chamber of
Commerce is following a well de-
vised plan in it- advertising. Now
it feels, when the farmer is busy on
present year crops, is -iot the time
to undertake interesting the farm-
er in a change. It is, however, the
time when well-to-do citizens with
children to educate are looking for
a location in a town that furnishes
almost every kind of education, for
the grown one* aid smalle- ones,
from the public schools to the high-
er institutions of learning. Later on
the Chamber will undertake to in-
terest the farmers Hind will then lay
before them the advantages of farm,
ing in Denton county.
OX-CART ECONOMY.
Tin* official apologist in North l'ex-
for the Campbell administration has
been Editor Ousley of the Fort
Worth Reoord. The night has not
been too dark, or the way too long
for Editor Ousley to take up the cud-
gels in behalf of the Governor and
his administration, and he who reads
may know he was kept busy. But
Editor Ousley is more than e'itor—
he is president of the board of re-
gents of the College of Industrial
Arts, whose appropriation th6 Gover-
nor, with one sweep of the blue pen-
cil, slashed more than half in two,
eliminating all appropriations for
buildings a id permanent improve-
ments. It now seems that Governor
Campbell's North Texas apologist has
apologized his last apology, 1 he has-
n't recanted previous apologies, and
joined in with the other North Tex-
as brothers in criticising the presen
administration. For says the Re-
cord:
The most serious mistake
made in the public affairs of
Texas in a quarter of a century
was Governor Campbell's ruth-
less mutilation of the general
apppropriation bill.
It was so unnecessary and so
cruel to the highest and best
interests of the commonwealth
that it Is almost vandalism
The people of Texas do not
approve ox-cart economy.
We tnake no complaint of the
in MnmS'
to return it
to theip and redistribute it by
making It a part of the geWal
revenue whlcli all taxpayer, oth-
erwise Would be compelled to
pay. The bonded debt of Texas
Is small afid the people will
»cart!ely feel the trifle of inter-
est and sinking fund necessary
to carry it through a term or
years.
the Dad statesmanship of theH
wholesale vetoing consisted in
crippling the public service and
arresting ,the growth of the
state's educational institutions
in order to. make the emptv
boast of it-tax rate of only 6 1-4
cents on the hundred dollars.
There is not a self respecting,^
patriotic and thoughtful taxpay-
er of Texas who will appreciate
low taxes obtained at price of
the efficiency of publ'c institu-
tions. ,
The people have Approved the
establishment or these institu-
tions and demanded "their liberal
support. The platform upon
which Governor Campbell was
elected aid which he has so
justifiably defended in other re-
spects made specific pledges for
"w se and liberal support of our
public schools and all our state
educational Institutions," and
the grant of "adequate authori-
ty and ample means to properly
safeguard the public, health."
Last November the people adop-
ted a constitutional amendment
for a larger rate of local school
taxation; for two years or more
there has been Imperious pub-
lic demand for a more efficient
department of public, health for
the preventi on and arrest of con-
tagious diseases. Popular senti-
ment was never more active, in-
telligent and resolute with re-
spect to matters of education
and health, and never was Tex-
as placed in such a reactionary
attitude toward these vital con-
cerns.
What is an increased state tax
rate of three or four or five
cents on the hundred dollars
compared with college students
sleeping in tents, schools cry-
ing for trained teachers, young
women begging for an opportun-
ity to learn trades and 5,000
people dying of consumption
every year?
It is an affront to the Intelli-
gence and the patriotism of the
citizens of Texas to assume that
they will approve this radical
wxercise of the executive veto
when tliev understand its con-
sequence.
The unhappy and almost cal-
amitous incident should teach
succeeding legislatures to pass
tlie appropriation bill in time for
consideration of a veto before
adjournment. It will hardly b ■
doubted that if the representa-
tives of the people had an op-
portun!ty to act thev woul l in-
sH upon many if not a'.! items
which the Governor has re-
jected. Indeed, tin "er the cus-
tom of passing an appropriation
hill at the close of the session
and leaving it at the mercy of
the governor, he exercises the
entire fiscal function. It was
never intended that the consti-
tutonal discretion vested in the
governor should operate a- an
abdication of the legislature's
power and responsibility.
We hope that some of the
ambitious gentlemen who desire
to he governor will raisn the is-
sue of the proper maintenance
of the public service and the
state's instltut'ons. We venture
the advice that such an issue
will be popular. We believe
tiie people or *Texas are more
liberal minded than Govern0'
Campbell in this particular. We
believe they desire progress and
uplirt as much as economy and
more than parsimony. We enter-
tain no doubt that an inteil'-
gent presentation of the stat 's
needs w ill win generous in lorge-
ment at the ballot box.
We deny that a 6 1-4 mill tax
i is the measure of Texas aspira-
tion in public service, public
health and public education.
Governor Campbell has hindere 1
the College of Industrial A/-ts, has
put the State University nnler a
serious handicap, he has given the
education of teachers a setback .at a
time when from all over the -state
comes the cry for more competen'
teachers, and if his ruling In regard
to the Agricultural and Mechanical
college is correct—a position taken
by no other Governor in recent, years
— he lias administered almost a
crushing blow to an institution of
particular a Ivantage to the vast agri-
cultural interests of Texas He has
snubbed til ;, regents of the different
institutions by showing his belief
that his individual knowledge of con.
ditions and nee's is far superior to
the united knowledge of the regents
appointed to keep up with conditions
and needs of their respective institu-
tions. Governor Campbell's apolo-
g'sts grow fewer and fewer with each
passing week. He will '"ve still few-
er bV the time his present term ends,
a time for which practically all of
Texas is anxiously waiting.

GOOD ROADS.
How any farmer .can bring himself
to vote against a bond issue for
building .permanent county roads is
more than we can un-lerstanl, yet
the farmers of Donley county did
this very thing last week and de-
feated the measure by a big major-
ity. In fact, about the only support
the measure received was from the
county seat voters If there is a
county in the state which needs
roal improvement more than Don-
ley we have not heard °f It. A bond
issue for road building is the logical
way to handle a most vexatious ques-
t'on. Farmers travel the counti
roads every day. Good roads will
enable them to drag twice the load
they have been hauling and brings
the town closer to them by reason
of 1he fact that they can get to town
quicker. It facilitates every branch
of their business, and the farmer
who votes as the Donley farmers
voted is opposing his interests jn the
strangest manner in which it is ca-
pable of be!ng done.—Brady Standard
