penalties. The motive for doing
this is derived from the fact that
unle-ss the Pope bill is made ope-
rative at once, there wili be a
three-month cessation in the pay-
ment of those delinquent taxes,
since not until Feb. 8 would the
remission of penalty and inter-
est be obtainable.
Will Accomplish Purpose.
In asking the Senate to adopt
the joint resolution, Rnwling be-
sought it to do so by a two-thirds
majority. That majority was not
given. Thus a resolution which
was meant to make effective im-
mediately an act which, of its own
force, will not become effective
until ninety days hence, at least in
the legal sense. Yet it i? believed
it will accomplish its purpose. If
the Secretary of State must wait
ninety days before certifying its
provisions and passage to tax
collectors it is assumed that tax
collectors will accept newspaper
publication as notification and
that under sanction of local public
sentiment they will accept tender
of delinquent taxes between now
and then without exacting the in-
terest and penalties that have
accured thus anticipating the pro-
visions of any act of the Legisla-
ture before it comes into force.
The Hughes bill needs little ex-
planation. It is not a delinquent
tax bill in the usual understanding
of the phrase for it has no appli-
cation to taxes now delinquent.
It seems to minimize delinquencc
but prescribes penalties against
those who nevertheless bo-ome de-
linquent.
Prompt Payment Encouraged.
To encourage prompt payment
it employs three influences. One
>s to allow taxes to be paid in semi-
annual installments. Another
to diminish the amount that would
b? due in January by 3 per cent
if paid in October, bq 2 per cent if
paid in November, and by 1 per
cent if paid in December of the
year for which the taxes are lev-
ied. There would b* no deduction
on payments made in January.
The third of the incentives for
making prompt payments is that
of imposing penalties when pay-
ment is deferred beyond January.
The penalty would be 1 per cent
if payment were made in Febru-
ary and would increase by 1 per
cent for each succeeding month
of deferred payment until a max-
imum of 5 per cent was reached
in June. If not paid by then the
penalty In July would become 8
per cent and in that month also
interest would begin to run at 6
per cent. It is in July that taxes
for the next preceedlng year
would become delinquent which is

TEXAS COTTON
EXPORTS DROP
48 PER CENT
Report Shows Decline For This
State Mon- Tliun United
States Average.
Exports of cotton from Texas
ports, including Lake Charles,
La., from Aug. 1 to Oct. 31, to-
taled 866,000 bales, compared
with 1,676,000 during the same
1933 period, the monthly bulletin
of the Association of American
Railroads, car service division,
shows. Exports thus decreas’d
approximately 48 per cent during
the first quarter of the current
^'eson as compared with the same
three months last season.
For all United States ports,
cotton exports in the first quar-
ter this season were 1,322,000
bales against 2,426,000 a year
ago, a decrease of some 1.104,000
bale®, or about 43 per cent.
.Tanan and China led other di-
visions of world trade in purchase
of American lint during the first
three months of this season,
whereas European countries led
in the same 1933 period. Desti-
nation of cotton 'exports from all
United States ports was; Japan-
China 527,000 bales, against 651,-
000 a year ago; Continent of Eu-
rope 483,000 bales, against 1,031,-
000 a year ago; Great Britain
191.000, against 434,000; France
115.000, against 305.000. and Mex-
ico 3,000, against 6,000 bales in
the first three months of last
soason.
the reason that during that month
the penalty would jump to 8 from
5 per cent.
Penalties Are Mandatory.
It has been questioned whether
the Legislature has authority to
discount tax bills which is the
reality of this provi.-ion of the
Hughes bill. Accordingly the bill
provides that if any section of it
is held unconstitutional its other
provisions shall remain unaffect-
ed.
Cities, towns and independent
school districts are given the op-
tion of granting or not granting
the premiums or discounts a? each
may elect but with resp&et to the
penalties it prescribes, the bill of
course is mandatory as to them.
The Hughes bill sets up a per-
manent policy to govern the col-
lection of taxes, those delinquent
and those not delinquent alike.
Since it will bocome effective with
the assessments of 1935, It will be
a deterrent on any disposition the
next Legislature may have to pass
another Pope hill relinquishing
penalties and interest that have
accrued. It may thus break a
habit to which Legislatures re-
cently have become addicted.
Obituary
On the evening of November 6,
the groat hand of death clasped
another life, that of Mrs C. W.
Bi* daoe, leaving a vacancy that
can never be filled in the hearts
of her friends and loved ones.
Although Mrs. Bledsoe was not
a person of fame and had not a
position of note in life, she filled
a more important and sacred
place. She was a conscientious
mother, a devoted sister, a loyal
Rnd tried friend. Conditions
wore never too pressing that Mrs
Bledsoe could not find time and
opportunity to lend a helping
hand to a friend, and to smile,
love, and lift. She never bothered
others with her own troubles,
though many they might have
been, but comforted those whom
she knew to be in trouble. Her
entire life was lived for others
No selfish motive lay in hi r heart,
but only kindness, love and desire
to do good. Through her love and
with her beautiful life as an ex-
ample, she was a living monu-
ment.
Mrs. Bledsoe lived a pur? and
simple life. Her interest in school
and civic activities was constant-
ly shown by her silent contribution
in work and prayer. A life of
purity and good, such as this,
should be a light and influence to
those of us who have burdens to
boar and should show us the value
of a sunny smile, and an opti-
mi'd.ic outlook on life.
It can truly be said that Mrs.
Bledsoe had the true soul of a
mother. God and the soul of a
mother are well knitted together.
The soul of a mother is the handi-
work of God. Mrs. Bledsoe’s
depth of feeling, her fender
sympathy, her quiet good humor,
her keen insight, her gratious
spirit, her undying love, her tender
words, and her kindly ministries,
made her one of the most wonder-
ful characters earth has ever held.
She not only came into mother-
hood richly endowed, but her
sacrifices z 1 sufferings were en-
abling influences, constantly at
work. Her heroic services in the
household and the thousand and
one other tasks for a mother’s
hands, the care of the food and
rainment, the problems of a grow-
ing family, made her a command-
ing; general of stalwart proport-
ions. What does such an angel
deserve at the hands of her loved
ones? Supreme consideration ol^
course. No harp of a thousand
strings will resound with more
divine music than the life of this
friend in her loving ministries
to everone she came in contact
with.
A friend,
MRS. CHAS. B. ALLARD.

THE SECOND QUESTION
A DOCTOR ASKS....
Here is some information
that has relieved whole
families from Constipation
When anyone is “out of sorts” the
doctor’s first question is about the
bowels. And the second, what is
being taken to help them. Doctors
use laxatives, and expect you to use
them. But they prefer a liquid lax-
ative. Do you know why?

Doctors and hospitals use liquid
laxatives because they’ve seen the
damage sometimes done by highly
concentrated drugs in the form of
pills or tablets! They know that a
properly made liquid laxative con-
taining senna (a natural laxative)
does not do this harm. And they
uge liquid laxatives to relieve the
bowei*. because the dose can be
easily regulated.
What to Use
There is a preparation of fine herbs,
pure pepsin, cascara, and senna
which does away with all need of
harsh cathartics. The active senna in
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pensin is
laxative enough for any adult, mild
enough for any child. And there are
other valuable ingredients in this
delightful syrup.
Syrup Pepsin will usually relieve
a case of constipation overnight. If
a further dose is necessary, you give
a smaller dose, each time less, until
the bowels are moving regularly
and thoroughly without any help
