raE
Less than five hours after the Velasco State Bank had been robbed,
two Brazoria county deputy sheriffs brought in three prisoners and
charged them with the crime.
Testimony at the examining trial disclosed the fact that at least one
of the prisoners had attempted to pull his gun upon the arresting officers.
Instead of shooting the man, the officers disarmed him. All of the ac-
cused men were placed in jail without bloodshed.
There is nothing startling or unusual in that testimony. Sheriffs and
police officers almost every day disarm some prisoner who exhibits a
foolish inclination to “shoot it out.” It should be remembered, however,
that this was a case of bank robbery, and that the Texas Bankers As-
sociation offers a standing reward of five thousand dollars for dead
bank robbers, and not a cent for live ones.
Neither of the deputies were rich men. Either of them could have
used five thousand dollars to very good advantage. Given the opportunity,
and with every justification upon their side, they nevertheless refused to
take human life. Five thousand dollars for a moment lay within their
- hands, yet they did not press the trigger.
Most police officers are brave. Many of them possess judgment, tact
resourcefulness. Comparatively few boast a combination of these splendid
police qualifications. And they are rare, indeed, who add to the list mercy
a quality of mercy so pronounced as to stay an act for which no man
would have censured them.

lina Harris acted as hostess.
In Galveston is located a nail and wire mill which manufactures
nails, staples, wire, barbed wire and steel cable.
It is the only mill of its kind in the entire Southwest. It represents a
capital investment of but little less than a million dollars.
If that mill could sell Texans only a third of the nails and wire used
every year in this state, they would have to add to their pay-rolls three
hundred additional skilled workers.
Three hundred skilled workmen are the equivalent in buying power
of an average town of 1500 people. Three hundred additional workmen
would pour into the channels of Galveston county’s trade more than
$600,000 every year.
This Galveston factory produces a product which is as good as any
shipped in from out-of-state sources of supply; its prices are as low as
any quoted for merchandise of equal quality.
There is only one reason why the three hundrd additional workmen
are not placed upon Galveston’s pay-roll. We do not, as yet, recognize
the fact that a dollar spent at home multiplies itself a hundred times,
while the dollar spent away from home is lost forever.
The “Buy-Texas-Products” slogan enunciated by leading thinkers
of the state is no empty phrase. It shows the way to economic
independence and prosperity. The Galveston nail and wire mill is but an-
other of a thousand cases which prove the point.
when compared with five thousand dollars.
The quality of mercy is an admirable trait, of course; but it is
a drug upon the market, especially where bank robbers are concerned.
The legislature now in session is certain to have a stormy career, and
this despite the fact it is generally conceded to be composed of a more
capable, reasonable group of men than for some years past.
Almost immediately they will be plunged into consideration of bills
which contemplate the submission of two constitutional amendments. The
Sterling plan for financing highway construction through the issuance of
state bonds is the first of these bills, and the abolition of the ad valorem
tax, substituting therefor an income tax is the second. Upon both of these
questions there is wide diversity of opinion, both editorial and popular,
and it is impossible that this condition would appear in, and influence, the
legislative deliberations.
Other tax bills, mainly in the nature of severance levies against nat-
ural resources, will be offered, as will some special sales and occupation
taxes. Upon these, too, there, is little popular agreement.
Legislation to remedy defects in our laws of criminal procedure has
been asked from many quarters, and it may be expected that many bills
of this nature will be submitted.
One of the outstanding subjects for legislative palaver is, of course,
the regulation of motor truck carriers. Bills will be submitted limiting
maximum widths, lengths and weight of motor trucks, levying against
them an occupational or cargo tax, and subjecting them to rate and
traffic regulation.
The urban counties of the state are interested in a bill which will ■
provide for unification of municipal and county governments. Appar-
ently, it has little chance for passage.
The question of a driver’s license and financial responsibility law is .
also to be threshed out. Last year this bill resulted in a division of urban
. . . . !■
and rural representation in both houses, with victory resting in the hands
of the rural legislators. In the meantime, popular approval of driver’s li-
censing laws has been widely extended and this session of the legislature
may write a different story.
All told, it will be an interesting, lively affair—this meeting of the
new 42nd legislature. It will be'an early test of the leadership of the new !
executive. It will make history in Texas.
