OUR CREED
"I take no thought of my neighbor's
birth,
Or the way he makes his prayer;
I grant him a white man's place on
aarth,
If bis game is on the square:
If he playes straight, I'll call him
mate;
If he cheats, I'll drop him flat;
All rank but this is a worn out lie,
For each clean man is as good as I,
And a king is no more than that."

TAXES FROM RAILROADS
of
During the year 1930 a total of
49,585 students 0f Texas pubWc,
primary and secondary schoole were
given the advantages of education
through the apportionment of $2,-
962,679, of railroad taxes to the
public school fund of the state.
This fact has recently been disclos-
ed through a survey conducted by
the Western Railways Committee
on Public Relations.
In 1930 the railroads of Texas
paid $7,971,373, in state taxes
which, with $1,065,553, in federal
taxes, brought their total tax con
tribution for the year to $9,036,926
With an average expenditure
$59.75 per pupil, there were 49,585
school children who received the
benefits of education through the
payment of taxes by rail carries
In the same year the 24 states
comprising the Western Railways
Committee group paid $66,801,876
in school taxee which afforeded edu
cational privileges to 787,102 stu-
dents. For the entire United States
the total tax contribution to schools
by Amerian railroads was$148,041,-
456., which, with an average of $90.-
22 per pup51, affected a total of
1,640,894 students. It is signifi
cant to note that there were 25,678,-
015 students enrolled in the schools
of the country in 1930, with 1,308,-
358 of these in Texas.
In the matter of railroad taxes,
there is another factor of prime im-
potance to every state. In the year
1931 the railroads of the United
States paid into the various tax
treasures of the country the secum
of $323,590,571. Of this amount
$46,050,482, was appropriated to
the construction of highways, while
$130,498,683, went for other pur-
poses in connection with the ex-
pense of munfbcipaL, state and fedetf
al government. The remainder was
for schools.
Basing calculations upon the act-
ual maintenance expenditures per
mile of highways over the United
States, Highway taxes paid by rail-
roads is sufficient to pay the main-
tenance cost on 300,000 miles of
highway. The sum total of the
railroads' contribution toward the
development of the nation's high-
Ways is further enhanced over the
foregoing estimate when consider-
ation i9 given to the substantial
amount paid by the rfeil carriers in
icense taxes.
Figures on railroad taxes and
their allocation to the various po-
litical! subdivisions of government
have been obtained by the Western
Railways Committee from the act-
ual records on file at the national
capitol.
"People are crying that the de-
pression is terrible, that they cannot
get aa much to eat as formerly. I
believe 'if they will just grasp Op-
portunity by th horns and put forth
every effort there is no reason for
their pantry sehlves to be empty,
their children crying for food, and
the'ir husbands out of sort." So
speaks Mrs 0 C Barlow, a Kaufman
county farm wife who has 984 qts
of fruits, vegetables and meats on
her pantry shelves as a result of her
work as a home dmonstration club

Black-Draught
Clears Up Sluggish,
Dull Feeling
"I have used Thedford's Black-
Draught for constipation for a
long time, and find it gives relief
for this trouble," writes Mrs.
Frank Champion, of Wynne, Ark.
"I think it ia good for spells
caused from gas on the stomach.
If I get up in the morning feeling
dull and sluggish, a dose of Black-
Draught taken three times a day
will cause the feeling to pass away,
and In a day or two I feel like a
new person. After many years of
use we would not exchange Black-
Draught for any medicine."
