Latest Thing- In Suicides
•Nm% from Jugoslavia conies the tale of a friendly suicide by two
middle-aged men. Hanging from both ends of a rope they had stood on
the same box, fastened nooses around one another’s necks and then by
common action kicked away the box.
One of the men was a former high railroad official, the other a civil
servant.
Below the bodies were two neat little stacks off letters addressed to
various friends, acquainting them of the fact that the two friends intended
to bang themselves at the same moment.

motto, “Never fight—negotiate.”

Unfair To Printers
“The largest and most costly printing plant in the world is owned
and operated .(at a continual loss) by the government at Washington,” says
the Tribune. “It’s unfair, but ill the merchants and other concerns which
buy so handsomely of government printed envelopes in preference to making
their purchases from the general printing trade think it all right, then
by the same token the printing trade might bring itself to believe that a
govemnent owned packing plant, sugar refinedy, tire factory, cloth mill
or what not, might be run to advantage.”
Competing with the printers is an old offense of the Federal govern-
ment. It started way hack before it was deemed necessary for the govern-
ment to be meddling generally in private business. That competition has
cost the printing business of the country unnumbered millions of dollars
in the years that it has gone on. It has kept many a little newspaper and
job printing office in the smaller towns from getting 'business that spelled
the difference between success and failure for it. The amount of business
secured from some of these little towns meant nothing to the big govern-
ment owned plant at Washington, hut it would have meant a great deal
to the little printing shops 'barely able to make ends meet.
When we start in to taking the Federal government out of private'
business, a good place to begin is at the printing office. The government
office at "Washington will have plenty to do if it will confine its operation
to printing government matter exclusively. In the event there should be
a lull in government business, it would always be possible for the printers
to set up a few more speeches of congressmen that never were delivered.
That sort of copy is unlimited.—Houston Post.

The case of Blanche Ricker against the Caller-Times and Eli T.
Merriman, filed in the San Patricio county district court asking for dam-
ages in the amount of $50,000, is a peculiar one. How the item referred to
in the paper following the July primary could have damaged any one
50,000 bucks is hard to conceive.

of the week was like the death of Mark Twain—“highly exaggerated.”

Aransas Pass has so far escaped any disastrious effects from the hur-
ricanes, which 'have originated in the gulf this season and come out with
howling fury, and for this good fortune we should be thankful. Of course,
this town has better protection than formerly from hurricane force, but it
is hard to get by a hurricane, when hit by one, without damage, no matter
what the protection is.
Nine Amendments
i!
f
I
wmm
The recent primary elections have somewhat obscured the fact that the
voters of Texas will have an Important duty to perform in November, the
task of supporting or rejecting nine constitutional amendments.
The nine amendmets are essentially as follows:
The amendment restricting the right to vote on bond issues to owners
of property duly rendered for taxation.
The amendment giving exemption from state taxes to $3000 of th<*
assessed value of all residence homesteads.
The amendment allowing investment of university funds in county
bonds, city school bonds, municipal bonds, of Texas counties and cities, as
well as in federal and state bonds to which the investment is now re-
stricted. ' ■ J; - |
The amendment providing a new system for tax sale of delinquent
property, with lower redemption costs if redeemed in the first year.
The amendment prohibiting release of indebtedness to tie* state or any
unit thereof except delinquent taxes which have been owing 10 years.
The amendment permitting retired United States soldiers to vote.
The amendment authorizing the Texas centennial celebration and per-
mitting the legislature to make appropriations therefor.
The amendment combining the offices of tax collector and tax assessor
in all counties having 10,000' or more population.
The amendment changing the law governing the voting of bonds so
that gulf counties may issue bonds 'for seawalls and other protective works
with a favorable vote of two-thirds of the property owners voting, instead
of two-thirds of all property owners as at present.
The proposed constitutional changes are of varying degrees of import-
ance. It is time for the average citizen to seek information on all.
The amendment which provides for an exemption up to $3000 will re-
ceive especial attention from the electorate. The Progress favors such
a change, yet we must not ignore the fact that other substantial taxable
resources must be found if this burden is to be lifted from the home owners
The amendment which authorizes the Texas centennial celebration does
net authorize the spending of the state’s money for that project. On the
contrary, it “permits” the legislators of the state to exercise their own
judgment in making appropriations therefor.
Office-seekers the state over will take peculiar note of the amendment
which calls for a combination of tax collectors’ and tax assessors duties
in the larger counties of Texas. That proposal represents only one step
toward reforming county government in Texas. The measure should carry,
but will not ulness a strong campaign is made for it.
The people of Texas should give all nine amendments their serious
consideration. Some should be rejected as other be adopted.

No bluff about this offer to stomach
sufferers, says DuBose Drug Store—
The Rexall Store. Either mentha
pepsin ends your distressing symptoms
or you get your money hack. You’re
the sole judge.
What’s more, a tablespoonful of this
artiifcial digestive juice (just like that
you are supposed to have in your
stomach) will, when taken before
meals, effectively prevent attacks of
stomach agony.
Ask any good druggist about mentha
pepsin and he will tell you the same
thing: Prompt relief or money back!
