I Legislative Handicaps.
*5 The average taxpayer fails to see
that be has been helped by the special
.. session of the legislature. It remains
-to he *e< n who has been helped in th*
! ail b*«»ess, but the independent pro-
■ ducers feel that they have been left
holding a leaking bag that drains into
ithe tanks of the major oil companies.
' The m< st honest legislators, anxious
*to serve Texas, seemed to have been
, bewildered by the "expert” testimony
,of the-oil chieftans and lobbyists who
.thronged Austin during the session,
rand who must have chuckled as they
2 saw the results of their combined ef-
jfort*. ; Few legislators, or, for that
; matter, few other citizens know-
enough about the intricacies of the
oil btuitiess, with its numerous inter-
locking interests, to be able to deter-
mine the effects of any proposed leg-
islation. The legislature is more to
be pitied than blamed for not render-
ing any more effective help to the
people. Too many members are
merely confused, not corrupt.
Farm Dictatorship.
Indignant because the legislature
killed his pet measure to restrict cot-
ton acreage by imposing heavy pen-
alties, The Texas agricultural commis-
sioner- has announced that unless
Other proponents of the same kind of
legislation run on that platform he
will be* ome a candidate for gover-
nor with a platform to make farmers
‘farm according to his ideas of how it
■should he done. He wants a legi-
slature committed to the same kind of
s constructive (?) program of farm-
’ing. Under such a law the number
i-of new courts and enforcement of-
'ficers that would be required would
afford permanent relitf to any em-
ployment situation that might exist.
Mining The Trea»ury.
Officials of the College of Mines
and Metallurgy near El Paso are ask-
ing tha' the name of the school tie
changed and that it be separated from
the University of Texas and allowed
to furn ion as a separate college of
the fir:-' das-, inasmuch as not quite
a third if its students are students of
mining. The school was established
’in recognition of the need in T«\a
.for aischool specia mntr in mining
and me' lurgy, and if that need no
longer exists as n pear- from the * '•
:fieia) ^announcement it should be
abolished. The State now '-.as * o
many i "first-class” colleges. No
sooner is a State school of any kind
established than it begins to extend
its curriculum and teaching force and
to apptal for support of courses that
should he offered only in a Univer-
sity, T' Xas should support its schools
well, bn* strictly within the scope for
which ibey were organized.
More Bond Issuer.
Meetings have been held in Fan
Antonie to urge issuance of bonds
for “r* lief of the unemployed,"
througl public works of kind* to
give employment to the greatest
numbet of people. There is no dis-
putingfthe fact that people who want
work should have it, but the exped-
iency of voting bonds solely to create
’employ lent without reference to
•Jpubliefbceds is doubtful. Unless lim- j
-its are placed there will soon be an
'urge to vote bonds for the relief of
Cthoie who can’t pay the taxes with
;whieh pto pay interi st on bonds.
Carolina Peache*.
associated Fort Worth in their minds
with the old red brick depot will hard-
ly know the city when they change
car« there. Fort Worth’s old slogan
«as "Everybody changes oars at ho,i
Worth.” Nearly everybody did, and
most of them changed at the old T-P
station, built nearly 50 years ago.
Red Cro»« Aid.
The best way to aid people is to
help them to help themselves’. The
best time to help them is before they
need help. At Nocona the Red Cross
committee has arranged to have the
county demonstration agent direct
the canning of fruit and will supply
cans to those who are unable to pay
for them. It is a shame to let fine
fruit and vegetables waste, for they
will all he needed next winter.
Broom Corn Crop.
Devine can always be counted on
to diversify its crops and nearly al-
ways finds a good market. Sixty
cars of broom corn will be shipped
from there. The crop is estimated
at about a ton three acres, and at the
prevailing price is said to he profita-
ble to growers.
Cutting Salaries.
Many schools are cutting the sal-
aries of teachers and increasing their
work. Coleman began by reducing
the superintendent’s salary $35 a
month, sealing th# cuts down to the
grade school teachers, whose salaries
were reduced $5. The school offic-
ials took the view that it is better to
pay smaller salaries than to he un-
able to pay them at all.
Who Wxnti x Fixh Hatchery?
Abilene offered 200,000,000 gal-
lons of water annually for a proposed
West Texas Fish Hatchery to be
maintained by the Federal Bureau of
Fisheries. The bureau wanted 300,-
000,000 gallons, but Abilene feared
that the city water supply would »*■
endangered. Graham, Sweetwater,
San Angelo. Del Rio and Fort Stock-
ton have all made offers, but none
of these appear to be quite satisfac-
tory. Some West Texas locality with
the required amount of water to
spare may he able to get the hatchery.
Brady’s Swimming Pool.
Brady seems more interested just
now in swimming pools than in fish
hatcheries and will this week dedi-
cate a well-built, well-lighted con-
crete pool ranging in depth from 3 to
10 feet. Editor Schwenker is going
to be among the very first to bathe
and has invited a number of editors
from neighboring towns to “go in"
with him. A great show is promised.
Preserving Old Structure
The old water tower, built in the
early 80’s and used for many years to
hold the ht et iron reservoir that
stored the water supply at Columbus
is to he converted into a museum and
remodeled to make a unique commun-
ity center. Nearly everybody who
has ever gone to Columbus remem-
bers the old slone tower on fne court-
house square almost as well as the
h.itcric oaK tree under which the
first district court ever held in Texas
Is said to have been conducted. Co-
lumbus is to be congratulated for its
determination to retain the old towei
despite efforts of many to have it
destroyed as an "eye-sore.”
Municipal Shower Baths
Should you be in Elgin on Satur-
day night it is vour own fault if you
do not get a hath. On Saturday !
nights there is "old-ti ue” music and
dancing on the street.- and a munici-
pal shown bath for "the kids " with I
no restrictions as to age limit. Every
one who wishes may be a “kid.”
