Charles H. Hatton of Wichita,
ns., was elected to the presl-
cy of Lions International in the
session of the Lions Conven-
which closed at Los Angeles
Friday.
Hatton Is president of the
pies Finance Company of Wich-
'\and holds office- in several

Wheeler County Unofficial Returns

r CHARLES H. HATTON
I,ions
I College and the University of
-fade, afterwards going abroad
study at Sarbonne University in
rts.
As chief executive of the 2650
clubs throughout five coun-
■)0s, Hatton states that "Lionism
-B1 make no departure at this
ime from its established policy of
making haste slowly in overseas
expansion. However," he continued,
"there will be no ‘marking time'
until economic conditions get bet-
ter. We look forward confidently
to the time when Lionism will be
established in every city and town
on this continent that desires to
build a better citizenship and a
better community in which to live.”
"It is a question whether any
Association of any kind has ever
Efigualled the records of the 17,050
activities carried on last year by
our 2650 clubs or has exercised an
influence which has been so far
reaching.”
Probably the greatest service
Hatton has rendered the Lions As-
sociation and the country as well is
the outstanding work he has done
promoting the adoption of the
oral Code for Youth" in most of
the school rooms throughout the
country. He was also responsible
for the compilation of three text
books known as "Studies in Con-
duct” to be used for supplementary
study in connection with the "Mor-
al Code for Youth." The first book
a this seriees of studies was de-
ned for the primary grades, the
;ond for the Intermediate grades,
and the last for the 7th and 8th
grades. Hatton himself feels that
this is one of the best pieces of
work in which he has ever had the
privilege to participate.
Mr. Hatton is a past master of
the largest masonic lodge In Kan-
sas and a member of the Midian
Shrine.
As manager of the Good Govern-
ment ClUb of Wichita, Charles
Hatton became one of Wichita's
favorite sons by Improving local
government and promoting civic
improvement, while with the Lions
Association Hatton became a favor-
ite in 1927 when he was elected a
director of the association at the
Miami Convention. Since that time
has served in all capacities of
official group of the assocla
tton until his election here today
to the highest position In the In-
ternational Association.
The bonded Indebtedness of all
Texas counties totals close to $700,-
000,000, of which $245,000,000 is for
county bond issues alone, city and
district debt making up the re-
mainder. Out of the $245,000,000 It
is estimated $100,000,000 Is repre
sented by highway bonds, which
would be retired under the plan
now advocated on the stump by
the State, the latter using part of
the gasoline tax for such purpose.
If the amount used from high-
way revenues is $7,000,000 a year,
as proposed by W. R. Ely, chair-
man of the Highway Commission,
and indorsed by Governor Sterling,
it would require 14 years to retire
the entire amount, not Including
Interest.
In 60 different counties, accord-
ing to figures submitted to state
authorities, the county tax rate for
highway construction is $1 on the
$100 valuation. Should the Legis-
lature adopt the retirement pro-
gram, taxpayers in the 60 counties
would escape the $1 tax.
Another angle of this problem
developed recently shows that when
the Legislature puts over such a
plan It will be necessary to set up
the machinery for meeting county
bonds and interest. The Highway
Department does not have suf-
ficient funds to meet all these bond
payments at the same time.
Most of the 254 counties have
road bonds and it is expected all of
them will be asking the commission
to meet payments as soon as such
a law would be enacted. Unless the
Legislature itself outlines by statute
how to proceed, the commission
will have to adopt its own course
singling out which county bonds
shall be paid first.
Investigation of this county bond
situation developed recently that
one county in East Texas still has
hanging over It a bond Issue passed
immediately after the Civil War.
Whenever these bonds matured the
county would pass a refunding Is-
sue. For that matter, the State of
Texas owes a bonded debt of $4,-
000,000. created many years ago far
protecting the frontier from Indian
raids.

Some of the saloon keepers, bar
tenders and distillers of Juarez,
Mexican city across the Rio Grande
from El Paso, are Democrats but
all hope that the project of the
party to end prohibition In the
United States meets with failure.
An end to prohibition in the
United States will mean an end to
the $16,000,000 annual Income of
Juarez from El Pasoans and tour'
ists who take a short street car or
auto ride across the Rio Grande to
allay their thirsts. A few might
still go across to visit the aneient
Guadulupe Mission or to see the
wild women of Calle Diablo but
the revenue would be far short of
what now goes over the bar.
Juarez Is literally a city that
thirst bult. It grew more during
the decade of prohibition in the
United States than in the previous
three centuries of its existence,
Since 1920 the population has in
creased from less than 10,000 to
more than 45,000, a gain of more
than 400 per cent.
Juarez has two breweries, three
distilleries, 55 bars catering es-
pecially to Americans and many
I want to thank my friends in Wheeler
and other counties for the support you
gave me in my race for district attor-
ney. It was due to the work of my
friends that my candidacy was suc-
cessful and I appreciate this very
much. I am going to do my best to
handle my duties in a way that will
be satisfactory to you.

additional drinking places not con-
sidered ol the first class. A high
per cent of the ctizenry is engaged
directly or indirectly in selling liq-
uor to thirsty Americans.
Sixteenth of Septembeer 8treet,
named for the Mexican national
holiday, boasts more saloons than
any other street of similar length
in the world. Practically all of the
city’s revenue and a large part of
the Chihuahua state taxes come
from levies, legitimate and Illegiti-
mate, on these establishments.
The three Juarez distilleries, rep-
resenting an investment of $1,500,-
000, would probably move to the
United States if the dry laws are
repealed. Mexicans drink little
whisky and there is no word for
the drink in the Spanish language.
One of the distilleries, the D. &
M„ largest in North America, was
located in Kentucky before the pas-
sage of the Volstead Law.
Repeal would cost the El Paso
Electric Company, a Stone & Web-
ster subsidiary, heavily In toll bridge
receipts. Visitors to Juarez would
drop In number from 4,000,000 to
1,400,000 a year, It Is estimated. A
25-cent toll is collected from auto-
mobles aind pedestrans pay two
cents.
