The suggestion of a bond issue does
not fit in very well at the present
time, for the feason that the men,
who made the campaign for the new
charter campaigned' also against so
many bond issues. Judge Kassel
was womt to say on the stump that
permanent Improvements and end
issues were synonomous terms In
Sherman, and he pointed out that

improvements without bond issues,

A gradual marketing of this
year’s cotton crop as the only hope
of obtaining a fair price therefor,
the establishment of adequate ware-
house facilities so cotton may be
held and necessary loans and ex-
tensions made on.the warehouse re-
ceipts, and the co-operation of banks
and farmers to this end is urged
by R. L. Van Zandt, governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank at the elev-
enth district at Dallas, in a letter
addressed to banks throughout the
state.
Mr. Van Zandt sayfe that, should
the crop be forced on the market
as gathered, the price obtained will
be below the cost of production. He
urges gradual marketing, but stress-
es the importance of warehousin''
or protection, and on this point says:
“Banks are not justified, however
in rendering assistance to those cus-
tomers who desire to hold any part
of their cotton which is exposed to
weather damage or which is stored
where insurance can not be ob-
tained on it.”

WHAT THE EXCHANGES
ARE TALKING A Ilf 1CT.
Judge A. S. Fisher, judge of the
newly created district court of Trav-
is and Williamson counties, either
helieves there may bp something
wrong in the conduct of the state
government, or else he has deter-
mined that the legislature shall en-
joy no monopoly on investigation.
In his first formal charge to the
grand jury of that court Judgb
Fisher asked that all state depart-
ments and state institutions he in-
vestigated, that the anti trust law
be given careful consideration, and
that grand jurors take into consider-
ation that while open bribery may
not be practiced about legislatures,
it is the duty of grand jurors to in-
vestigate for the purpose of deter-
mining whether or not there have
! ;een such practices in hidden meth-
ods—poker ^ames or purported
sales, for example. Attention is
called to the peculiar jurisdiction
of Travis county grand juries in
slate matters with the statement
that legislative committees often
usurp the duties of grand juries,
their investigations being based en-
tirely on justice.—Waco News.
