AUSTIN.—The House of Repre-
sentatives has on its hopper today a
resolution which, if passed, will per-
mit former Gov. James E. Ferguson
to hold office again in this State.
The resolution, presented by Rep-
resentative W. E. Pope, Corpus
Christi, seeks to amend the Constitu-
tion so that a judgment of impeach-
ment shall extend only to removal
from office and shall not disqualify
the officer to hold an office to which
the impeachment offer is later
elected.
The proposed constitutional amend-
ment would be submitted to vote on
Aug. 26 of this year. The resolution
appropriates $5,000 for expense of
holding the election.
NEW YORK.—Sales of cotton
cloth last week continued in excess of
mill production, the New York Cot-
ton-Exchange Service reported Mon-
day. Mill activity is currently at the
highest rate in several years.
“On some lines of goods,” said the
service, “sales were made through
July and August. Heavy cotton goods
for mechanical purposes sold more
freely than for many weeks, although
the volume on these goods still was
much below normal.
“Goods prices continued their up-
ward movement with advances of an
eighth to a quarter of a cent a yard
reported on numerous lines of unfin-
ished goods.”
The service also asserted that man-
ufacturing margins on standard un-
finished cotton goods have widened
appreciably in recent weeks, giving
manufacturers a more profitable ba-
sis as against unremunerative mar-
gins a few months ago.

President Roosevelt is, among oth-

turned great hordes of pessimists in-
to optimists. Back in the dark days
of the depression it was difficult to
find a man who would express any
hope for improvement of conditions
in the future, while now it is just as
difficult to find a man who isn’t bub-

things are in store for us in the im-

racing and prize fighting? There
are many other things that will bring
revenue to the state and all its politi-
cal subdivisions. Such, for instance,
as pool tables, slot machines, cock
fights, bear-and-dog fights, bull
fights, poker games, crap games, lot-
teries (provided they are kept out of
the United States mails), bucket
shops—and there used to be a pro-
lific source of indirect taxation in
the way of periodic fines on a prac-
tice not mentioned in best circles.
All these things would bring rev-
enue in large denominations, and
revenue is what the state needs—and
what it will continue to need until
we get a Legislature at Austin not
afraid of hurting some salary-draw-
ers’ feelings by reducing expenses.

In practically every town and city
in the country merchants who pur-
chase their printing in other towns
are numbered among those most vi-
tally interested in trade at home
campaigns. In one town the news-
paper recently criticized some of the
local concerns in all lines rather se-
verely and its utterances were
branded “small town stuff.” For the
purpose of showing just how far this
“small town stuff” may be carried,
the following statement is reproduced
from a well known trade journal:
“A resolution calling upon the ad-
ministration of New York City to
protect New York printing houses by
imposing a tax on all printing pro-
duced outside the city and shipped
there for use or sale, was adopted at
a meeting held at Hotel Astor. The
meeting, which drew an attendance
of more than 1,200, also adopted a
resolution calling upon employes to
withdraw their patronage from publi-
cations printed outside the city and,
from retail stores that buy their
printing outside the city.”—Clarks-
ville Times.

We Must Have Revenue
News comes from Austin that the
House of the Texas Legislature has
voted to license race horse gambling,
or betting, and that the Senate is in
line to agree, which will put it up to
the Fergusons. As the act is said to
be based on its revenue raising abil-
ity, and as James the Adviser says
there will have to be collected from
homes and farms, after all other
taxes are collected, a mere bagatelle
of fifty-nine million and some-odd
dollars, it is likely that his wife would
sign it.
Having decided to add racing gam-
bling income to its hoped-for beer li-
cense income, the Legislature next is
to tackle licensing prize fights, also
presumably to raise revenue. If
those who have passed from the
earthly scene are able to know what
is going on, as some people declare,
what must be the emotions of Charlie
Culberson at this project?
And why stop at beer and horse

If anybody who reads this didn’t
get to come to Whitewright trades
day and mingle with the three or
four thousand people who were here,
just remember that we will have an-
other on June 19, when we are going
to have a still bigger crowd of folks
and still better entertainment fea-
tures. D. A. Ray, kingfish of the
trades day organization, is already
making plans to that effect.

We see by the papers where some
of the government employes are still
howling about the 15 per cent wage
reduction imposed on all those who
work for Uncle Sam. If those folks
would just stop for a minute and con-
sider the fact that millions of wage
and salary earners in this . country
would be tickled to death to draw 85
per cent of their 1929 wages and sal-
aries, they would quit their howling,
and consider themselves fortunate
that it wasn’t more than 15 per cent.

With school vacation days now at
hand, Whitewright mothers are wor-
rying about what they are going
to do with their children during the
summer. That’s something farm
mothers don’t have to worry about,
however, for farm children have an
abundance of employment awaiting
them. A lot of doting town mothers
will not agree with us in this state-
ment, but we believe that if town
children were required to. work in
the summer, as farm children are,
we wouldn’t have so many lazy folks
living in town.

A Washington dispatch . says ten
million gallons more of whisky will
be produced this fiscal year ending-
June 30 than ever before, while the
production of beer has dropped 45-

reaching 60 million gallons by the-
end of the fiscal year.
FOR AMBULANCE f
Call: Day 99, Night 30 I
In legislative discussions of debtor
relief, creditor rights have remained
largely in the background. There is
a general assumption that the debtor
is a class to himself—that is that the
world is made up exclusively of those
who owe money and those to whom it
is owed. The truth, of course, is that
the use of security is a commercial
transaction akin to selling dry goods
and that the lending creditor must
get his money in order to settle his
own debts to someone else. Wher-
ever a dam is set up in the debt re-
lationship, the stoppage it makes on
the flow of money will be felt fur-
ther afield than in the individual case
of the debtor and his creditor.
Where the courts are called in to
pass on legislative enactment, credi-
tor rights can not be overlooked.
Judge R. B. Allen’s opinion that the
Texas “mortgage moratorium” law is
unconstitutional comes as no sur-
prise. An attempt to apply it to ex-
isting contracts would obviously raise
the point of the constitutional prohi-
bition against impairing these. In
the light of the decision in the 116th
District Court, it may be impossible
to handle future mortgages under
such a law without constitutional re-
vision.
The disposition of higher courts
remains to be learned. But no tribu-
nals carry the doctrine of expediency
further than to make extreme inter-
pretation of the phrasing of the Con-
stitution. There is no effort on their
part to controvert its plain terms.
It may be argued that the Consti-
tution must be amended forthwith to
take care of the altering relationship
between creditor and debtor. But
the same difficulty looms up that in-
duced The News to warn against such
extreme measures as the mortgage
moratorium and the deficiency judg-
ment bill during the legislative ses-
sion. If the Constitution itself is
changed to materially affect the cred-
itor’s rights to recovery of his mon-
ey, real estate lending will practical-
ly cease.—Dallas News.

Jesus and His Friends.
Lesson for May 28. Mark 13:1-14:9.
Golden Text: John 15:14.
I have long felt that the Christian
body with the most satisfactory name
is that small group of devoted, piac-
tical mystics who call themselves the
Society of Friends. Most denomina-
tions have long and awkward names.
The Quakers, however, have a per-
fect title. For the comrades of
Christ’s way are primarily the friends
of Jesus, men and women who aim
to live in the spirit of our Golden
Text, “You are my friends, if you do
what I command you.”
Now the lesson gives us glimpses
of Jesus in the midst of His friends.
We see Him seated on the Mount of
Olives. It is daytime, and He is con-
ferring privately and earnestly with
Peter, James, John and Andrew. In
thirty-three verses Mark summarizes
the remarks of Jesus. What he gives
is a composite, condensed discourse,
a vivid apocalypse or detailed de-
scription of the future. To interpret
this colorful chapter is difficult.
Scholars do not agree in their find-
ings. But the differences of view-
point on critical questions need not
dim our appreciation of the passage.
It sounds, first of all, the note of
tragic catastrophe. Jesus warns of
the coming of war, treachery, mur-
der, hatred, of the triumph of false-
hood, and the dissolution of the uni-
verse. His words, of course, must
not be taken literally, as a mechani-
cal prophecy of definite events in
history. But when understood poeti-
cally, with the eyes of the imagina-
tion, they are abundantly true.
Secondly, this discourse reveals a
profound urgency. Note the serious-
ness of the Master. “Take care, be
on the alert, and pray!” He cries.
“Moreover, what I say to you I say
to all—be wakeful!”
But our lesson presents a further
picture of Jesus in the House of
Friendship. Under a friendly room
at Bethany, in the home of Simon
the leper, we see Him resting, and
witness the striking devotion of
Mary, who had come to pour precious
ointment upon His head. Here, shel-
tered from a hostile world, He re-
ceives his friends, love.
