A Better Prison Discharge Plan
The United States Federation of
Justice has made a surprisingly good
showing in Missouri for its plan of
putting restraints on all convicts
discharged from prisons. The plan
is simple and logical. It has proved
corrective. Under the old policy, still
in force in most states, the better
class of prisoners, that is those
meriting paroles, are discharged un-
of about 3 cents. If the cal- der restraining conditions, which
are based on the four
in the previous seven when
was above the average,
have proved salutary. But the worst
prisoners, that is those who have
been obliged to serve the customary
ated New Orleans spot,| seven-twelfths of their time and
cents. When read from

to the United States
of Agriculture, the area
in cotton in the
States, July 1, was 37,290,000
This represents a decline of
cent from the acres in culti-
on the same date last year,
is a greater reduction than
prices indicated. It was
bigger decline than was lndi-
by private estimates. It is
to note that the area in
in the United States this
less than the area planted
and only about a billion
than the five-year, pre-
Bednctlons Reported
"Unofficial reports from other
then have been discharged if their
records have" permitted, have been
released without any restraining
conditions. Now in Missouri these
prisoners are obliged to report
regularly to the police or sheriffs,
to abstain from intoxicating liquors,
to avoid criminal associations and
to seek legitimate employment. In-
cidentally many of the discharged
prisoners have been given help by
special officers assigned for that
purpose. In 85 per cent of the Mis-
souri cases the men are believed to
be making good.
One of the most important fea-
tures of this plan is the contem-
plated aid to discharged prisoners
when they honestly try to go
straight. It has been difficult to get
the full benefit of this feature be-
cause of the extent of unemploy-
ment. But in spite of this difficulty,
the plan is working decidedly well.
All things come to the other fel-
low if you sit down and wait.
Church and Social Activity
PRESBYTERIAN SERVICES
SUNDAY
On account of special revival ser-
vices at Sawyer, Second Sunday,
and last over to third Sunday, I
am asking our members and friends
from this change of date of our re-
gular preaching services there for
this moid,h of August. Only this
month, orl, account of two meetings
this month. Will thank our mem-
bers and friends about Levelland to
keep this notice in mind and report
at both Sunday chool and church
next Sunday, First Sunday on time.
Please let us have 100 per cent
attendance of members and friends
next Sunday, while we are all
warmed up with the Summer
weather and ready to go. Don’t
complain about this date of our
regular service, but come right on.
I thank you for your ready help
and co-operation at such a time as
this, with all of us, in God’s needy
work. You are invited to all our
services.
W. K. JOHNSON, Pastor.
ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH
MEETING
Ira M. Brice, of Amarillo, Texas,
begins a revival, August 6, with the
Assemblies of God people of Level-
land, in the east part of town.
Come and see sinners wonderfully
saved; believers filled with the old-
time power and the sick healed.
Everyone welcome.
H. P. HINES, Pastor.
FIRST MISSIONARY BAPTIST
REVIVAL
We again remind the people that
our revival began August 4.’ Our
heart’s desire and prayer to God is
that lost souls will be saved, back-
slider’s hearts warmed by God’s
divine love, the church strengthen
ed and the saved added to it. We
are praying that this meeting may
be a true Holy Spirit revival from
heaven sent by God Himself.
The typing of our last article
made up say that our meeting in
Oklahoma was a "high pressure
campaign” where it should have
been, “a true revival and not a
high pressure campaign.” We are
eternally opposed to organized cam
paigns which fill the church with
unsaved people. We are pouring out
our hearts to God that His Spirit
may sweep the land leading souls to
a living faith in Christ being born
and regenerated from above.
If you love the word of God.
attend this meeting.
JOHN H. HALLFORD.
THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
“The church with a hearty welcome.”
ALFRED A. BRIAN, Pastor.
Our revival meeting is now under
way and well into the second week.
Splendid attendance and good re
suits are witnessed, together with a
growing interest. Come to the clos-
ing services.

measure, whereby a large number
of people should pay a small but
certain direct tax.
“If we delegate the paying of our
taxes we shall find we have dele-
gated the control of our govern-
ment,” says Mr. Coolidge. “Nothing
seems clearer than that if the peo-
ple are to control the government
they must pay the taxes to support
it. These two go together. And sec-
ondly, if the people are to have an
opportunity to own the property of
the nation they must pay the taxes
on it. These two go together. Power
and responsibility cannot be separat-
ed, politically or economically.
“If it is necessary to meet an
emergency excessively high taxes on
a few large incomes and inheritanc-
es might be made temporarily with-
out great injury. But to adopt such
a system permanently and, under
the pretense of raising revenue, pur-

attempted redistribution of wealth
would have the gravest consequences.

Two Months’ Work for the
Government
How would the average citizen
like to work 61 days without any
pay whatever?
The answer is that he wouldn’t
like it at all. But that, in effect, is
what he is doing. Sixty-one days’
work out of each year is required
to pay the cost of government.
The ratio is constantly rising.
Carried to the inevitable conclu-
sion, it means that in the not-too
distant future, the taxpayers will
be working for the taxeaters all the
time, and for themselves not at all.
Every time a new department comes
into existence, a little more of the
money we earn finds its way into
the Treasury.
As President Hoover has said, to
continue on the tax road we are
traveling is to impoverish the na-

Looking Ahead With Confidence
Democratic members of congress
who met with Chairman Farley of
the party’s national committee in
Washington recently discussed the
wisdom of a special session of con-
gress shortly after the inauguration
next March. Discussion of anything
that might happen about November
was limited, because there was only
one side to that question. “Every
one,” says the report, “talked most
confidently of the election,” Why
not? What would politics be with-
out that supreme faith in future
events? That is the thing that gives
the game its stimulus and keeps it
going at high pitch until future
events Justify everybody’s certainty
as to what would happen.

found in the Chicago stadium after
the Democratic convention adjourn-
ed. The explanation must be that
the place wasn't cleaned up after
the Republican convention the week
before.
