In the Merten* case, the Supreme
Court held that there is constitutional
warrants for the organization of
“county tine" school districts and
thereby invalidated about forty Inde-
pendent school districts and more
than three common school districts
that embraced territory in two or
Bore counties. The constitution au-
thorizes the "formation of school dis-
tricts within ail pr any of the coun-
ties of the state," and school dis-
tricts may therefore be organized in
any portion of a county, The su-
preme court ha*, also, held that an
Incorporated city or two may embrace
territory in two or more counties and
that an independent school district
Whose boundaries coincide with those

la it fair to permit the people
a county to tom school dletriets and
deny this privilege to communities

city or town and yet deny It a
parate existence ? Is It Just to refuse
[the privilege of forming school di*
trtete to county-line rural communl
ties and grant the same privilege to
incorporated cities and towns?
The Thirty-first legislature has sub-
mitted an amendment to eectjim 1
article VI*. state constitution, author-
izing the formation of "county-line"
school districts and the enactment
by the legislature of laws providing
for the assessment and collection at
school taxes in such districts, “coun-
ty-line" school districts are necessary
in some localities on account of bad
roads, impassable streams, mouniaius.
or other local conditions. No valid
reason can be assigned for withhold-
ing from these districts that privi-
lege of organizing schools which Is
now enjoyed by more than seven
thousand common school districts. It
is the duty of the state to protect the
educational rights of every child with-
in Its borders; and to discharge this
duty, there must be no discrimination
against children that live In any por-
tion of a county. The experience of
other states has proved the wisdom
of laws that provide for districts em-
bracing territory in two or more
counties.
The amendment of section a, Article
VII, U adopted in the special election
Tuesday. August 3. 1909. will author-
ize the formation of 'county-line”
school districts where necessary and
thereby open the way tor the improve-
ment of our schools in many locali-
ties in Texas.
School Bands Validated.
The amendment to Article VI1. ad-
ding thereto Section 3a. If adopted in
the August election, will validate the
school districts of Texas and all
school bonds which have been approv-
ed by the attorney general and regis-
tered by the comptroller. In a num-
ber of instances, the people have or-
ganized school districts and have vot-
ed bonds tor school houses, only to
learn later that their achool tax and
their school bonds are invalid because
the school dletriets were not formed
in strict compliance with the law.
This amendment will validate every
school district heretofore formed,
"whether formed under the general
law or by special act. and whether
the territory embraced within its
boundaries lies wholly within a single
county or partly in two or more coun-
ties. The new law will at the same
time validate school bonds of the dis-
tricts of Texas. No school district
can afford to repudiate Its obligations
tor school building*, theee obligations
have been honestly incurred; the
bondholder* have invested their mon-
ey in good faith; the school buildings
are now being used by the children
of the districts; and the district*
should be given wn opportunity to
pay these debts The adoption of
this amendment will advertise to the

hardships and
The comwtaakmere court of Either Metiers, who hare mailt
county, which had recently derided to
build a new *66,600 court house at
Roby with interest bearing county
warrants, has changed that decision
for the time being and has ordered
an election to take piece August 7th
to decide a proposed bond Issue In
that sun for court house purposes
The proposed bonds are to run forty
yearn and carry an Interest rate of
five per ceut per annum. The Roby
Banner says that it favora the bond
laaue and aaserta that In the event
the bonds are defeated the commis-
sioners will consider the vote as be-
ing in favor of the warrant Men and
will proceed to build the court house
In that manner, under a contract al-
ready cldbed with a Mr. Whitney.
The Banner further says: "In the
campaign next year, It is stated that
an effort will be made to elect a
county Judge and a commissioners'
court who will refuso to make a tax
levy for the payment of the war-
rants. Now. sensible voter,what would
that mean? That would mean a big.
long suit to mandamus the commis-
sioners’ court to make the tax levy.
We are Informed by reliable authori-
ties that the costa, Including lawyers
fees, would i>e at least *10,00(5 in n
suit of that kind, and In the end that
Fisher county would have it all to
pay. * * * In case the bond Issiw
is defeated there will be another ef-
fort made to move the county seat
away from Roby, and that will not be
over six months away either. The
very fact of the defeat of the bond is-
sue will so embolden some of the op-
position that they will presume that
ail who voted against the bond Issue
will vote for the removal of the county
site."

Life in the agricultural dlatrlct*
la, much pleaaanter than it need to be.
In the past ten years tha farmer has
annexed to himself many city com-
forts. He has rural free delivery. He
hue the telephone. He has trolley
lines, the dully newspaper. He has
cheap and better implements. His
wife and children In many Instances
go to town in an auto and have nearer
neighbor*. Farm work la lightened
by machinery. The farm house* are
lit by gas and provided with fur-
nacea and baths.
The landless city man feels more
at home when be goes to tbff country
under such circumstances, and he la
content to'remain, building a home
for his children—a priceless heritage.
In brief, the day of cheap land is
passing. Like many another com-
modlny. supply and demand la regu-
lating the price, and aa the supply la
becoming lessened, values will keep
on rising.
The wise man, whether his capital
be large or small, is taking advantage
of it, and buying good farm land to-
day. especially in the south west,where
thf prices yet are under real value.
I don't know of any better invest-
ment today than a good farm home
out west. Its value grows while you
sleep and It makes lots of money for
you during your waking hours. For

The landless nutn and the manless
land are becoming popular problems
and rightly, too. Alone, either can
do little; together, they can do every
thing.

This Is a condition and not a theo-

values be on a much higher plane. It
will become a question of supply, as
the demand will always continue to

Time was, no doubt, when Texas
"had it in" for the corporations. But
there were reasons for it to some ex-
tent. of course. Today, however,one
the things marking the unprecedent-
ed prosperity of the State and a no
Inconsiderable factor in that pros-
perity is the remarkable increase in
the number of new corporations or-
, gun I zed there, for they all appear to
lie of the most solid sort.

Foreign Title* on the Market.
A recent press .report from New
Vork says: To any rich American
pears that under the old law (prior woman who is apibltious to seinUi-
to the passage of the new corporation j la(p tn u,e society or the European
act by the Thirtieth legislature) 501
per cent of the corporations charter-)
ed were wildcat concerns promoted

for the purpose of selling stock, while j fers a display of twenty-nine choice

category of wildcat propositions. l!n-
der the old law It required only 10
per cent of the amount of the caul-
mi stock to be paid in and 50 per
cent subscribed, while under the new
law It. requires 50 per cent to be paid
in within two years. "This has stop-
ped wiidcatting in Texas." Is the
opinion of the Austin Statesman.
Now for the actual operation of the
new law: The number of charters
filed in t he state department has been j
more than doubled The recepts from
incorporation* have been doubled and
redoubled. Ten years ago theae re-
ceipt* by the department were only
about *50,000 or *60.000 a year; now
they are approximately *500.000 a
year, and the current year will no
doubt allow an incorporation revenue
largely In excess of that amount—a
franchise tax?' pure and simple. It
must be worth something to he in-
corporated In Texas nowadays.
Again, and another matter indicat-
ing the state's bounding prosperity
at this time, there ar< a smaller num-
ber of corporation* t is year that are
delinquent than ever l efore in the hla-
tory of the state. Usually there are
between 2.000 and i.5tt0 delinquent*
that have failed to l TheU toss* -fry
May l. but It ia lean ed from this re-
port that the number is comparative-
ly Insignificant. N»t only are moat
of the newer corpon Uona abundantly
able to pay, but none, lama fide, rich
or poor, wants to orfelt its Texas
charter nowadays, u wouldn’t look
well.
