WHAT NEXT?
High school football coaches of Texas will love a recent bulletin
from Interscholastic league headquarters charging commercialism nmong
debaters of the state’s high schools.
“Debate Iihs its commercialism no less than football," says the
Leaguer. “The selling of ready-made speeches, both main and rebuttal,
and the use of them by high school coaches of debate very seriously
threatens the educational value of this time-honored contest,”
Very soon such headlines as these may appear: "Hereford Debater
Ruled Ineligible.” "Charges Stur Halfback Traded for Rebuttal
Champ."

ABOUT THE GAS WASTAGE
There is more than meets the eye in the battle of publicity now
taking place in regard to wastage of natural gas in the Panhandle
geld. The Panhandle Conservation Association wants all "stripping"
stopped. Stripping is the extraction of gasoline from the gas. The
evil lies in wasting of the unused gas.
The association is lighting stripping on this basis and they have
been putting on the most effective propoganda campaign the Panhandle
baa ever known. Some of the large ads compare with the best the writer
turn ever seen in selling its idea to the readers. And everyone agrees
that the gas wastage must be stopped.
On the other hand, operators of stripping plants maintain they
buy gas from independent producers who have no other possible mar-
ket The big pipeline companies, they allege, will not take gas from
the independents, and thus the Held is drained without the little fellow
getting anything, although his gas goes out through the pijtelines.
Amarillo’s mayor, Ross I>. Rogers, rapped both sides liefore a legis-
lative committee last week in Austin. He contends that a ratable
taking from all producers is the only fair solution. By ratable taking
is meant the buying of gas from producers in proportion to production
—treating all wells alike regardless of who owns them.

FEW PARDONS, FEWER PAROLES
Texas has had un over-production of pardons and clemencies In
recent years and with it has grown up a larger criminal class, with
resultant damnge to the social order.
With the coming to power of Governor Allred, there has been every
evidence of pardons growing extremely source, and with hardly any
paroles at all, and an immediate disposition to cancel every parole where
the holder has fallen afoul of the law since release from prison.
There is hardly a citizen of Texas who is not heartily in accord
with the change Governor Allred has wrought in the executive attitude
in this respect and there is a growing sentiment that law breakers must
pay the penalty when they are convicted in this state. This is going to
dtaeourage law breaking and Is* a great aid to our c-ourts In enforcing
the laws now on our statute books.
Rtnar! A. MeCorkle, former faculty member of the University of
Ttoxas. writing in the late issue of tin* Southwestern Social Science
Quarterly, reviews the constitutional and legal regulations on the power
of clemency in Texas, and concurs with Governor Allred's announced
policy of placing the burden of clemencies on a non-partisan board.
“Texas is one of the few states today placing almost complete par-
doning power in the hands of her governor,” Mr. McOorkle said. "This
is a relic of kingship retained from ancient days.
“The Board of Pardons and Paroles cannot be said to share the
clemency power of tin* governor: it is only an agency created to make
the inquiries requisite for an intelligent exercise of the power. The
power itself rests with the chief executive. Pardons, paroles and fur-
loughs have I teen granted nil too frequently without an investigation by
the board. And when it lias lieen consulted, its advice has often been
disregarded.”—Clarendon News.
