Some six or eight years ago
Congress passed a law provid-
ing Fderal aid to States, Coun-
ties and Hoad Districts, in a
cooperative plan of road con-
struction. The country was as-
sured at that time that the
rights of the states woud never
be interfered with, but that the
purpose an«F intent of the law
was solely to help, and in no
sense to hinder, the suite or
locality in the exercise of juris-
diction over its public high-
ways. The plan has*. .worked
admirably for several years in
the encouragement of road con
struction throughout the coun-
try. Last week the House ad-
opted an amendment to this
Ipr, which if approved by the
Senate will, after a period of
three years, deprive Texas

PROTEST THE INCREASE
The officials of the G. H. and
S. A. Railway Company ran a
special train from Victoria to
El Campo Monday to register
their protest against the in-
creased valuation proposed by
the Board of Equalization for
school purposes.
They found the Board“stand-

The plan to Federalize our
school system, as contemplated
by the so-called Smjth-Town-

calculated to entice many
thousands of people, who want
to do everything possible for
the encouragment of public
education. The plan if adopt-

years, but as sure as “the sun
