CAMPAIGN SUCCESSFUL
Saturday marked the close of
successful circulation campaign which
brought to the publishers a fine list
of leaders and to the Enterprise
better opportunity to serve in this
city and county.
We are pleased with the results;
with the interest and sportsmanship
displayed by the candidates, with the
work of the judges and with the peo
pie who ss generously subscribed to
the paper.
The campaign was under the direc-
tion of the Liner Circulation Service
of Chicago, with Mr. Jack Rooney in
complete charge. During his six
weeks here we fed that Mr. Rooney
overcame tremendous odds, and to
him goes practically all the credit for
the success of the subscription drive.
Our circulation has been increased
to 1000,—a new high. It is all paid
in advance, which guarantees reader
interest to every advertiser. We
know of no other medium which «o
thoroughly covers this trade area.
Unemployment Expert
Offices At Brownsville
W right Riley, special representa-
tive of the Texas Unemployment
Comphensation Commission, will he
stationed in lirownsville to assist em-
ployers of the surrounding district
during the next few weeks, Chairman
Director R. H. Anderson announced
today.
Riley’s headquarters will be in the
Brownsville Chamber of Commerc-
and all employers of that district are
urged to go to Riley for help on
problems arising under the Texas
Unemployment Compensation Art,
Chairman Anderson stated.
The district for which Brownsville
wil; be headquarters consists of the
following counties:
Zapata, Jim Hogg, Brooks, Kennedy,
Starr Hidalgo Willacy and Cameron.
First contributions under the Texas
Unemployment Compensation Art
are due January 25 and Riley will be
piepared to assist employers in filling
out their contribution report forms
and in determning their status under
the law.
Industrial Note
A two-edged note of warning,
particularly timely, is made in the
January 28 issue of the estimable
Texas Weekly. In an article, “New
Industries for Texas”, it is pointed
out, after recounting some of the
varied industrial enterprises being' es-
tablished in the state, that we must
prererve "the proper attitude” in re-
lation to new industrial development.
“In view of the definite advnata-
ges that Texas is able to place before
the eyes of industry,” it says, “it
may logically be expected that the
state will continue to find that many
industries look with favor to Texas
as a site for new plants. Naturally it
is necessary that the proper attitude
be maintained by the state.
“It is especially important that no
measures frankly designed to ‘soak
industry* be passed by the Texas
Legilature, for it is obvious that
Texas is certain to lose more by the
passage of such measures that it can
hope to gain.”
The other side is exposed—and it
is one which should have wide at-
tention, particularly in South Texas
with its potential industrial develop-
ment—as the article continues;
“This certainly does not mean, how-
ever, that Texas should follow the
example set by a few other states,
which, in their eagerness to obtain new
industries, have granted tax and
ether concessions that show, if noth-
ing else, a lack of good business sense.
Texas has such a multiplicity of
things needed by industry that it
would he extremely poor to offer to
give ‘boot’ in the form of so many
years without taxes or anything of
the kind.
“One extreme is as bad as the
other.”
There, in succinct phrases, is an
outline of the two problems which we
must consider as we plan our con-
tinued industrial development, not
only in South Texas, but in the entire
state.
We cannot “soak” industry through
unfair or thoughtless tax legislation
and we should not go out of our way
to attract any industry which cannot
stand on its own feet in the Lone Star
State.

Prevention Is Cure
For Auto Accidents
“New*” Is Favored
The title, “News” is the favorite
of South Texas newspaper publishers.
In checking a list of 120 daily and
weekly publications in this part of the
state it was interesting to note that
2.X are called the “News” or use the
won! in some combination in the
name.
Second is popularity is “Herald”
which is the title of 8 South Texas
publications. There are five papers
each named "Enterprise,” “Tribune,"
•Record,” and "Times.” “Facts” is the
title of 4 publications and “Citizen,”
“Progress,’' “Sun,” “Sentinel,” “Ad-
vocate,” “Review,” “Journal,” and
‘Gazette,” are names on the mast-
heads of two and three publications.
Newspaper Change
Announcement has been made that
L. Jones, publisher of the interest-
ing Timely Remarks weekly news-
paper at Refugio, has acquired the
name and subscription list of the
Woodsboro Weekly Times which has
been published in W oodsboro the last
years by E. C. Buck. This con-
solidation of two worthy South Texas
publications will gjive Refugio County
the advantage of a stronger news-
paper and one which, under the mans-
g» ment of Jones, undoubtedly will
will represent and serve it in the b«st
possible manner.
Buck, who made the Times publica-
tion of unusual interest through his
forceful editorials, will remain in the
South Texas field, moving his plant
to Victoria where he will publish the
Victoria Mirror, a weekly newspaper
to he circulated from that point.
South Texas newspaper men will
wish Jones and Buck the utmost in
good fortune in their future activities.

"The only way to avoid the useless
waste of life due to traffic accidents ip
to prevent the accident ” reads a
warning issued by Dr. George W
Cox. State Health Officer.
“It is not a question of who is right
and who is wrong after the accident
has occurred,” he said, and automobile
accidents never happen merely be
cause of bad luck—there is a definite
cause for everyone of them, although
it Ip not possible to determine the pre-
cise torigin of every mishap.
“Leaders of the safety movement
agree that the most fundamental ap-
proach to the solution of our national
accident problem lies in the education
and training of the individual. Safety
education includes the training of in-
dividuals to avoid accidents to them,
stives and to prevent accidents to oth-
ers. It involves the acquisition of a
ceitain fund of information, the abil-
ity to apply this information to con-
crete situations, and the building up
of habits which will mak«* th" anpi'C-
ation of knowledge to situation auto-
matic.
"The dangerous curves and inter-
sections on the highways of this state
are distinctly marked, and automobil
drivers can assist greatly in the re.
uction of deaths from automobile
accidents by carefully observing these
warning signs.
‘Some motorists rely too much on
traffic rules and regulations^ thinking
that if they are obeying the rules of
the road at the time when an accident
occurs, no blame can be attached to
them. This is not true. The only
man who can consider himself blame-
less in case cf an accident, when he
was obeying the rules of the road, is
the one who did everything possible
to avoid that accident.
“The conseouenees of an autnnvibile
accident are so disasterous, that only
when we have done everything in our
power to avoid such accidents, can we
consider us, blameless in the case of a
eonsier us, blameless in the case of a
accident.
“When each individual does all that
he is able to do toward avoiding an
