SIGN ON AN AUTOMOBILE OVER MILLION MOTOR
TELLS WHOLE TRUTH j VEHICLES REGISTERED
A significant warning was
flashed from the rear of an
automobile passing through
Lewisville a few days ago.
As is the custom, practically
every car now has a placard of
some kind or another bearing
some kind of cryptic wording.
In the main, these phrases are
more or less meaningless. Every
now and then, however, there
is one which stands out for its
originality and force of mean-
ing. .
The particular wording
carried by this car was: "Speed
on big boy, hell ain't half full."
The careful driver who val-
ues the life and property of
others as well as the safety for
himself, this slogan has no
meaning. However, to the fel-
Jow who puts his car to its ut-
most speed whenever he goes
out for a ride, and apparently
utterly disregards the rights of
others on the road, the sign is
very significant. Sooner or lat-
er disaster overtakes him. The
result may be fatal to himself,
maybe to some other innocent
party, or it may result in dis-
ablement. Then again, it may
not be of a serious nature at
ill. Nevertheless, trouble is
lurking ahead ox him, and so
long as he continues to disre-
gard the rules and courtesies of
the road, he is toying with
death.
A sign like the one referred
to is calculated to make such
folks as these stop and think.
It is hoped so, at least.—Lewis-
ville Enterprise.

KITTRELL PRESENTS
SALARY AMENDMENT
Austin. Jan. 14.—Proposed
amendment to the constitution
increasing salaries of state of-
ficers and members of the leg-
islature was introduced in the
house by Representative Nor-
man G. Kittrell of Houston.
The proposed amendment pro-
vides that salaries may be in-
creased or decreased every two
years, depending on the finan-
cial condition of the state.
Judge Kittrell suggests that
as a starter the salary of the
governor shall be increased
from $4000 to $20,000 a year,
and that of the attorney gen-
eral from $4,000 to $10,000
and salaries of the state comp-
troller, state treasurer and sec-
retary of state be increased to
$7,500 each per annum, with
$10 a day provided for each
member of the legislature.
"We are now bound hopeless-
ly and helplessly by constitu-
tional provisions fixing salaries

' which are shamefully and re-
: prcachfully inadequate," said
Judge Kittrell. "When the
constitution was framed 51
j years ago, the salaries- were
deemed sufficient and even
generous, but the state had .iust
passed through the most disas-
trous panic in its history, if not
in the history of any nation,
and the salaries were fixed un-
der those conditions.
"The amendment I propose
will place the matter of salaries
under the control of the peo-
ple, and they can raise or low-
er them from time to time ac-
cording to existing economic
and financial conditions," con-
tinued Judge Kittrell. "It is
inexcusable folly to fix and fas-
ten in the constitution salaries
which conditions will make it
necessary to I change. The
change I suggest will leave the
matter in a controlable situa-.
tion. and the people, throu&*f
J their representatives, can fix
j salaries to meet the conditions
as they find them from time to
time."

Austin. Texas, Jan. 14.-—A
peace officer has the right to
stop and search an automobile
for liquor, without first ob-
taining a search warrant, pro-
vided the search is made upon
"probable cause" the court of
criminal appeals here ruled
Wednesday in affirming a num
ber of liquor convictions, a-
mong them that of R. Battle,
sentenced /to two years from
Harrison county for transpor-
tation of liquor.
The opinion was regarded as
a most important interpretation
of the search and seizure law.
The opinion in the Battle
case was written by Presiding
Judge W. C. Morrow said, "in
article 690, Penal Code, 1925,
it is declared that any automo-
bile held for the unlawful
transportation (of intoxicating
liquor is a public nuisance, and
any automobile used in tjie
presence or view of a peace of-
ficer of this state for the un-
lawful transportation of intox-
icating liquor shall be seized
without a warrant.
"This article, construed in
connection with the provision
of the constitution forbidding
search and seizures without
sufficient authority to sanction
the receipt in evidence of the
search in the present case, pro-
vided the search was made
upon probable cause, that is to
say, upon a reasonable ground
or suspicion supported by cir-
cumstances sufficiently strong
in themselves to warrant a cau-
tious man in the belief that the
person accused is guilty of the
r'fense with which he is
charged.
Battle attacked the legality
of his arrest, search and seizuie
cn the grounds it. was in viol
tion of the bill of rights forbi
ding unreasonable search
and seizures without probal
r .jiisc supported by oath or a
nrmnticn; that is, without
search warrant.
"The uniform rule contro
ing the state courts in holding
the seizure, legal, as well as
those holding it illegal, is in
consonance with the announce-
ment in Carroll vs. United
States." Judge Morrow said.
"That is to say, the search of
an automobile upon the public
highway may be made without
warrant where the seizing of-
ficer has knowledge or infor-
mation of facts constitituting
'probable cause' as above de-
fined.
"The leglity of the search is
to be determined alone upon
the existence of 'probable
cause' before the search is
made, and is not to be justified
by knowledge ascertained
through the search.
"The search cannot be jus-
tified upon mere suspicion."
On the* ground that an officer
was not inspired by "probable
cause,"but acted on mere suspi-
cion" the court granted the mo
tion for rehearing of R. Odent-
hal from Cass county, two
years for transporting liquor,
and reversed and remanded the
case, Judge Lattimore dissent-
ing.

CHANGE IN GUARANTY
AND BOND SYSTEM
IS URGED
Austin, Jan. 15.—Completely
eliminating the bonding system
and the guaranty fund plan
from the state banking laws of
Texas will be proposed in a
bill to be introduced during the
present session of the legisla-
ture, it was ascertained from
a leading banker of the state.
This banker said that the
guaranty fund plan of protect-
ing depositors in state banks
has already collapsed, for out
of approximately 1900 state
banks operating in the state,
all but 28 have adopted the
bonding system of protecting
its depositors.
The bill to be introduced
would place the state banks on
practically the same basis as
the national banks, where the
organizers have to depend on
their credit and standing be-
fore they are granted a bank
