Congressman Marvin Jones to-
day replied in the House to Con-
gressman Julius Kahn of Califor-
nia who had in the course of a
staatement in favor of the ship
subsidy attacked the farm bloc.
Mr. Jones said in part: “The
gentleman from California makes
d remarkable statement, but one
which is very conflicting. He
first states that if Congress would
pay less attention to blocs and
groups it would serve the coun-
try better.’'
try better.” Continuing Mr,
Kahn said: “The farmers do not
want the ship subsidy because
they do not see that it will be of
greater benefit to them than to
any other class of American citi-
zens. The farmer is certainly
just in presenting his own par-
ticular yants before the country
but he has no right to demand, as
he is demanding, that his wants
be attended to and that every-
thing else be voted down.”
Replying to this statement Mr.
Jones said: “Of all the strange
paradoxes this statement, to use
the vernacular of the street, takes
the cake. In one sentence the
distinguished gentleman from Cal-
ifornia decries blocs and groups
and in the next breath with dra-
matic flourish he joins the ship
subsidy group and declares in ef-
fect that any one who opposes'it
is opposed to our national welfare.
This is in line with the state-
ments of everyone else who has
opposed the activities pjf the farm
bloc. It is strange that they had
no thought of this position before.
For twenty-five yean Mr. Kahn
has been a member of Congress.
During tha tatime there have
been various blocs in the House
end some of them have even used
a “block and taackle.” Perhaps
Mr. Kahn’s outburst is partially
due to the fact that he was form-
erly an actor, and* actors, you
know, live in a super-heated at-
mosphere of make-believe.
For many yean there has been
-• _•
a financial bloc which has swept
down on tilts Congress in the in-
tercet of the financiers and en-
deavored to s eeuro anything and
everything they desired. Then
kss been#..Wnll Street bloew There
has been a railroad bloc. Then
has been a tariff bloc. But on all
these blocs these gentlemen have
been strangely silent. However,
sinee a group of men in the House
and Senate have undertaken to do
something substantial and real for
the prodncen of this nation the
anvil chorus has been in continu-
ous operation. You might as well
try to dam the Mississippi with
toothpiks as to stop the farm
mavement because it is based up-
on justice already long delayed.
If the subsidy business is start-
ed where will it end f I thor
cughly agree thata it would be a
desirable thing to have ships all
over the oceans flying the Ameri-
can flag. But can you subsidize
one intefest without subsidizing
allf Is the transportation on land
not jjust as essential as transpor-
tation on the sea; and isn’t pro-
duction just as essential as trans-
portation} In fact, all of them
are essential and if you start to
subsidizing one essential interest
then in logic and good sense you
must subsidize all;;; and if you
subsidize all interests in the na-
tion you wind up jjust where you
started. Is it any more essen-
tial that the flag should fly on
the seas than on the land} Is it
any more desirable that the flag
should fly on the ships that
plough the ocean than that it
should fly on the continental
farms of the United States}
Every opportunity should be
given to every man to engage in
any line of productive work, but
it should be simply an opportuni-
ty and not a subsidy. These
shipowners want Uncle Saha to as-
sume the role of a walking Santa
Claus. It is essentially anun-
American policy and is contrary
to the genius aqd institutions of
this country.
'DINNER WAS A SUCCESS
Te dinner served by the Meth-
odist ladies last Saturday in the
Woodrum building on the South
Side of the square was a success
inevery sense of the word.
The Ion gtables fairly groaned
beneath their bnrden of good
things to eat, and the building
was' crowded with hungry visitors.
The ladies cleared in the neigh-
borhood of $80.

A BIG DAY
M DOB CITY
PEOPLE FROM ALL
THB SECTION WERE IN
TO SEE A1BPLANE
What was estimated to be the
biggest crowd ever in this city
was here last Saturday afternoon
to witness the airplane stunts of
Chubby Watson and his assist-
ants. Between 5,000 and 8,000
people were here on that day.
The program put on by the aeri-
alists was fine. They did many
daring and death-defying stunts,

vention to write in the light and
learning of this generation a new
constitution for Texas,” said the
Governor. “If it is good when
written, the people will go to the
polls and adopt it; if it is bad,
the people will go to the polls and
reject it.”
Speaking of the constituion
adopted in 1876, the speaker
said, “Texas then had a popula-
tion of only 300,000 inhabitants.
Now we have 5,000,000. All
West Texas, now rapidly becom-
ing the center of wealth and pop-
ulation, was so sparsely settled at
that time that not even one dele-
gate from that vast territory was
sent to the convention that wrote
the constitution under which
West Texas now lives.
“At that time there was not a
town in the state with a popula-
tion exceeding 15,000. Now we
have cities with more than 200,-
000 inhabitants. At that time
there was not an oil well in Tex-
as. Now we' are producing and
have been for some time, 10,000,-
000 barrels of oil a month, most
of it going out of the state with-
out paying proper tribute to the
goemment on account of techni-
cal provisions of our present con-
stitution.”

The aerial circus was staged by
the merchants and the Commer-
cial Club of this city, and the en-
tertainment did not cost the vis-
itors one penny. What the mer-
chants and Club members want-
ed was for the folks to enjoy it,
and from all accounts they cer-
tainlp did that. Many words of
appreciation were heard on the
streets after the show was over,
and the people responsible for
the diversion were highly compli-
mented for bringing such an at-
traction here.
The merchants and the citi-
zens of this town want the co-
operation and friendship of the
people living in the sections ad-
joining this town, and they in-
tend doing everything in their
power to make them understand
that the town and the country
are on. The interests are the
seme, and it will require a united
effort on the part of all to make
this section what it can be, and
what it really ought to be.
