Mr McDonald points out that the
pension amendment is the only one
of the five which would Increase the
taxes.
He writes:
Tuesday by J. T. Couch, who acted as
chairman of the citlxens-property own-
ers' meeting held at the City Hall on
Saturday night. Members of the com-
mittee named are John H. Ferguson,
A. G. Maysu, and Johu D. Morrow.
The property owners affected are to
bear the cost of the paving with the
exception of the intersections and ex-
cavations which expense will be borne
by the city. The street 1*111 be made
twenty feet wide from Heard to Finch
park. The character of paving will lie
concrete with .t six-Inch base. The cost
will probably be less than Uiree dol
lurs per front loot, said Mr. Couch
The bids will be received and a con-
tract awarded tin- week, lie added.

Half Mile Pavement.
A small portion of Binge street 1*
paved. But I lie new pavement will
be the onl> paved street entrance to
Finch Park outside of a short street
which enters the purk 011 the east side,
crossing the interurbun tracks. It i«
proposed to allow the street to enter
the park at the eu.st edge of the pres-
ent Crystal Plunge swimming pool
However, it is staled the extension of
the street straight on south from it'
end at Standtfor street will not Inter-
fere With the plunge.
Bongo street touches four church
property sites In the city—First Meth-
odist, First Christian, First Baptist and
Central Presbyterian—and is an Im-
portant Btreet.
The McKlnney Lions' rjlub initiated
the movotnent for the paving of Bengo
street so as to have an Important

VISIT HFRF
After a most enjoyable visit to Mr.
and Mrs. Oreenberry Adams and oth-
er old McKlnney friends. Ben W.
Rhine loft Saturday afternoon for
Greenville to visit Mr. and Mrs. Wal-
ter Mookford for a few days before
proceeding on to his home at Paris.
Mr. Rhine, when a young man, came
to McKlnney irt 1869 from Philadel-
phia and engaged in the dry goods
business with hts uncle, > • Rhine,
who built the first brie. Mice In
McKlnney now owned b: .. ri. Mat-
thews which stands on the corner of
Benge and Hunt streets. The Rhlnes
also erected the llrst brick store build-
ing In our olty which stood on the
present site of the Collin County Na-
tional Bank. Abe Rhine died many
years ago nnd is burled In Pecan
drove cemetery. Ben W. Rhine re-
sided In McKlnney 33 years, but moved
to Paris 18 years ago where he has
since lived and been connected with
the big Crook-Record Dry Uoods Com-
pany of that city. Mr. Rhine, who is
now past 71), Is enjoying a brief va-
cation In visiting old friends at Mc-
Klnney and Greenville. Oreenberry
Adams, who has been connected with
these papers for the past 16 years, wan
14 years prior to coming with us, 11
clerk In Ben W. Ithlne's store. Mr.
Rhine still holds his membership In K
of P. and I. O. O. F. lodges of Mc-
Klnney. During his four days' stay in
McKlnney he met hosts of old friends
from both town nnd country and re-
newed many acquaintances. He Is en-
Joying splendid health. He was a
guest of F. Dudley Perkins at last Fri-
day's Rotary luncheon and to 66 as-
sembled guests, Mr Rhine took oc-
casion to compliment in the most
eulogistic manner, the marvelous Im-
provements that he olmerved In Mc-
Klnney now as compared with the city
as It was nearly 19 years ago whon
ho moved away. Its progress as a
modern, beautiful city was a revela-
tion to him and a matter of genuine
pride for he stated that he shall ever
hold McKlnni y's best interests dear
to his soul.

Objntlnn I'iihouiuI.
"In the Courier-Gazette of this
week. July 18th, I notice a petition
signed by several of my friends In
opposition to all of the Constitution-
al Amendments to be voted on next
Saturday except one. Their opposi-
tion, they say. Is based 011 their ob-
jection to any increase in taxes, but
let us see If that objection Is well
founded. The petition says "The
pension amendment has merit In It
and we can commend it to the vot-
ers."
"Now the pension amendment
specifically says It is for the purpose
of Increasing the pension tux from
five to !•< ven cents on the $100 worth
of property. Yet the petition says It
favors this, hut Is opposed to the oth-
ers when the facts uro not one of the
others would Increase the lax rate,
but to the contrary I am sure If the
(list amendment should he adopted
regarding the penitentiary much
taxes could be saved by drilling a bet-
ter method to handle that system.
One man at a fair salary could handle
It cheaper than three high priced
men and probably avoid the necessity
of having the Legislature to appro-
priate another half million dollars
out of the taxes for the expense like
was done during the regular session
a few months ago.
♦ ♦ ♦
Effort I ve In IMS.
"Again, if the second amendment
relating to "Compensation of Rxocu-
tlve Officers" should be adopted the
tax rate would not, for that reason,
have to be increasoil because In the
llrst place the resolution says It shall
not become effective until January 1,
1923, a year and a half yet, but If
it should go Into effect now and the
Legislature should conclude to pay
the Oovernor and other officers the
highest amount thoy could be allow-
ed, that would be only a half of one
cent 011 one thousand dollars worth of
property or, five cents on ten thou-
sand dollars worth; so one who owns
$100,000 worth of property would
pay only fifty cents if a tax rate
should be figured. The fact Is the
amount would be so small that the
average man would not have to pay
as much as a postage stamp. The
point Is: As the State has to collect
several million dollars for taxes It
would always havo this small sum of
$1,100 on hand each month, without
any Increase In the tax rate, hut that
small amount would help when di-
vided among the State's six Constitu-
tional officers whose salaries were
fixed fifty-five years ago and who have
suffered In these lute years of high
cost of living without any Increase In
salary while bankers were making
large Interest rates; fanners were get
ting 30 to 40 cents a pound for cot
ton; merchants were getting big profits
and so on. Of course, no State can
afford to pay a (Sovernor what a rnnn
Is usually willing to pay to be Gov
ernor, but It cun afford to pay a Oov-
ernor a living wage while he Is serv-
ing us Oovernor.
We all know Oovernor Campbell
was economical to ihe verge of stingi-
ness, yet I understand ho said It cost
him each year about $9,000 to live as
Oovernor of Texas. I want rny friends
to think about this amendment.
Yours truly,
HUGH F. McDONALD.

life of youth
Uooige Shipley. 17 years of age,
j stepson of C, || Lewis of this city Is
1 at thi' City Hospital. 111 a very pre-
carious condition.
Mr Ijcwls. the young hoy's slep-
I father, tells the Courier Gazette. that
between the hours of 7 and K, Sun-
day night at the Cavalry headquarters,
in Hast McKlnney, his young sou and
four or five young men got hold of a
gallon of corn whiskey, young Ship-
ley drinking a good-sized portion of
It. About 9 o'clock, the hoy beet me
unconscious, remaining so until 10
o'clock Monday night, aftei he hail
been removed to the City Hospital.
♦ ♦ ♦
Physicians .Summoned.
The young man's step-father, C. II.
Lewis, whs notified of young Ship
ley's condition about 11 o'clock Mon-
day, when two physicians were Im-
mediately summoned, and worked
faithfully with the young man until
he became conscious ubout 10 o'clock
Monday night. The whiskey the young
man drank was declared poisonous,
thus going all through his system One
could smell the poisonous odor from
the effects of the whiskey when en-
tering the young man's room a' the
City Hospital. It was said
A young boy told one of the attend-
ing physicians that young Shipley
drank a half gallon of the ct-./n whis-
key, hence for more than twonty-
fonr hours he was unconscious and
his life almost despaired of.
Young Shipley is suld to be a good,
steady young man. Where he got
the corn whiskey, and from whom,
it could not he learned, so C. II Lewis
Informed the newspaperman
Thus, a young life, Just building
into useful manhood, 17 years of age,
was almost blotted out by the use ami
sale of 11 health ruining and life de-
stroying fluid common moonshine
corn whiskey.
It behooves every man to offer his
strong right arm lo our officers and
courts, to thus stamp out the viola-
tions of our prohibition laws such lis
this case Indicates In being practiced
here. We hope the young man will
live, although he is not us yet out of
danger, that he may give to the offi-
cers full light from whom he bought
the poisonous stuff; anil that he, as
a young man, will thank Ood for
being good enough to him to lei him
live over such a condition as he was
placed in by Its use.
