Dallas News. “It la that the fate of the constitutional
amendment removing the tax limitations on Independent
school restricts will be determined on that Jay." Andthen
the News makes this argument for thi adoption ot the
Amendment: “Whether that provision of the constitution
which limits the tax rate for school purposes was ever
wise or not may be debatable. But that it is now
harmful, and very seriously harmful, there can be no
doubt. It is a blight on the country school, unier
which it is shriveling and losing much of the little
strength It previously had as an educat'onal force.

Motor Car Thieves
The recovery by ( hicago detectives of autos valued at
$00,000 and the location of other stolen cars worth as
much more in a Michigan town, ought to be sufficient to
make the Clarksville owner of an auto ait up and take
notice. It gives, however, but a faint Idea of the extent
to which automobile thievery has developed in America.
Automobile manufactur, of course, is a collossal bu-
siness, and everything connected with it Is on a corres-
ponding scale of ingratitude. Ye tthe apparent growth of
automobile stealing Into an organized industry of vast
proportions is calculated to excite astonishment. For
thefts of horses representing a far smaller property loss
than that suffered by Chicago motor car owners alone,
vigilance committees Were once organised and men hang-
ed. And If automobile larceny can att<' these dimen-
sions In one locality, what Is the possit ' sum total of It
for the whole country?
Bo far the depredations of motor cat uteres have been
viewed as a local policed problem. But the status of the
automobile as a WBhi«le--4>f Interstate transit and the pec
altar facilities It aUords the thlevdTTo dispose of a. stolen
car la a city far distant from the scene of the tiieft mak^k
the question of the detection^ and punishment of automr
obile thieves a national one. No doubt it is incumbent
on every owner to be his own vigilance committee. But
certainly the extra.ordlndry growth of the criminal In-
dustry Justifies extraordinary measures and drastic pen-
alUea to curb lh,
