anything in detoil, but taking
everything as a whole, I think,
we have accomplished some
good work
The 48rd Legislature has, so
ar, the reputation of being the
most stormy of our state, at
east, in many respects. We
have had the greatest responsi
bility, possibly that any Legis
lature has ever had from a finan
cial standpoint. On account of
finances, our entire State De-
partments. are in greater need
Dossibiy, than ever before. The
financial condition of our state
and nation has not been more
critical than it now is. It seems
that the people of our state and
nation have lostconfldence large-
ly in the Legislative bodies of
our state and nation, and when I
think of the conditions of the
masses of people in our state,
today, the million of people out
of money and employment, it is
alarming and a very serious
condition, and therefore, increas-
es responsibilities of our Leaig.
lators ol our state. “
We have had many bills coming
before the 43rd Legislature in
tbe way of economy that are, and
will be, of vital importance to
the people of our state We
have discifised Ration from
ai#« In the Committee
rootns. We have discussed sales
tax to the final analysis, and we
have discussed income tax, and
I will admit that It seems more
favorable with the Legislature
than any other emergency tax
We have also diseased a tax
known as the production revenue
tax, but when you carry it to the
final analysis, we find ourselves
confronted with the same condi
tion in the several localities of
our Sate. It is hard to levy a
tax that will be fair to all people.
We have been working hard to
supplement some tax to take

the Lubbock Sanitarium for
medical treatment. An operation
was deemed advisable, and was
had on Wednesday morning of
last week. Her condition since
was considered very serious sod
complicated, and hope of her re
covery had been doubtful for the
past several days, but her pass
iug was nevertheless a shock and
is deeply regretted.
The funeral services were con-
ducted Friday morning at 10:80
o’clock, at the local Methodist
church by Rev. Preston Flor-
ence, pastor, assisted by Kev.W.
F. Markham, pastor of tbe Bap-
tist church. The remains were
carried to Seagraves loliowing
this service and burial was made
in llie Seagraves cemetery.
Active oali bearers were the
deceased’s nephews, while the
honorary pall bearers were the
members of the Missionary So-
ciety of the Methodist church.
Mrs. Smith was born in Tar-
rant county Texas, March 22.
io77, was 56 years of age at the
time of her death. Miss Mar-
grett Isabell Dunlap, the deceas-
ed, was married to W. E. Smith
J une 18, 1897, and to this union
three children were born, two
now survive. The family having
resided s here for the past fly?
years, coming to this community.,
from Yoakum county, where
they resided for a number of
years. They have many friends
throughout this section of the
Plains country, where tbe great
er part oftheir lives have been
spent as pioneers In helping to
develop this part of Texas.
Mrs. Smith was a member of
the Methodist church, and was
always active in the Missionary
Society, and was always beloved
by all wherever she lived for her
noble character and many acts of
Christian womanhood.
Out of town relatives here for
the funeral were: Brothers and
Fred Melton, Charles Roberts,
and J. Elder.

schools of our State.
I had hoped that we could
work out some emergency tax to
take care of the present condition
of our schools, but at this par
ticular time. I do not think we
will be able to meet that emer
gency, but I do think we will be
able to supplement our educa-
tional cause to take care of the
schools In the future. Personal
ly. I think the 8tate should take
care of the public schools of our
State other than the local tax.
Many communities of Texas, and
especially of our District, are so
heavily burdened that it will
exhaust all the taxes that we can
procore on an ad valorem basis.
The legislature is a peculiar
body of men; each with different
minds and thonght, and some
timps it seems almost an impos-
sibility to carry through any
measure that we think would be
best for our section of the State
In a large state like Texas, we
have different conditions exist
ing In all parts of the state and
whenever we diseuss a general
tax, It usually brings up argu-
ments from all parts of the State
I have supported all Bills com-
ing before the House that, have
had In them a tendency of econo
mv in stale government, flnL
of mv district mv very best ser*
ciallv and morally.
T have had, since coming to
Austin, many of my friend from
the different, parts of the district
to visit, with me and I find that
is very encouraging.
