airplanes; there was scarcely a one
of the time saving necessities of to-
day. When that organ was drawn up
it took 30 days to cross the ocean;
now we do it in scarcely more than 30
hours by air. Not that the principles
embedied in our constitution are not
Still good but we need new and faster
ways of employing them. We still
have the same procedure in making a
bill a law in this day of thousands of
bills as we had when there was but
one or two a season. If a man in busi-
ness in this town 50 years ago had
lasted until now without changing his
organization and program he would
have been broke long ago if he had not
had other income. Now that is just
the condition of our government. It
needs reorganization using the same
sound governmental principles set
forth in the constitution, alter them
to suit the times, mixing in with them
a few sound business ideas. The re-
sult of following the same old system
in government is the same as in busi-
ness; some methods and articles have
become obsolete, other things that
would be result getters and money
makers we don’t have, and to keep up
these run down departments we have
to make up the loss elsewhere. Be-
cause of the need of new ideas other
measures have to suffer and the re-
sult is larger over head bringing about
higher taxes which we nave to pay.
One of the best illustrations of
the fact that our government has not
kept pace with the times is a coijipari-

he advocated one. But knowing that

The Texa.- Legislature seems in
every way justified in refusing to
create a cotton holiday by law. If
they did that, the first result would
be the gins standing idle next season,
and another 100,000 men out of work.
r The tenant farmer or renter as we
call them would be out of -luck, and
the farm laborer, who depends on his
labor in the cotton field, and there are
2,000,000 of them, would be in still
harder shape. When you consider the
fact that these groups mentioned, es-
pecially the last two, would have to
be cared for by the public yon will
agree with the Legislators to.
