any real' difference of honest opin-

Is there any one who now denies
that the proposal made by the pres-

in a message that was inaccurate
and misleading? That the real In-

real intent was avowed, it was re-

This is not the way men act when

method of arbitrary men. and. if

Kvsmv. July 14. (— Advan-
tages of city zoning recently were
outlined by E A. Wood, director
of the Texas planning board, after
a thorough study of the subject.
There is no i—----- ....
elusion dial what the administra-
tion could not do by an open appeal
to public opinion. It is now propos-
ing to do by slick maneuver and
sleight-of-hand. There are * few
weak senators, men without real
convictions or without the capacity
to understand the issues, whom it
needs. They do not dare to vote for
the original bill because it has a bad
name. So a new name has been in-
vented. The same package is now-
tied together with pink ribbon in-
stead of red ribbon. For them this
second bill has been devised: to en-
able them to support the adminis-
tration and at the same time to
r
confuse their constituents by savine
that they voted for a "compromise." I
Thev are to go home and tell the
people that they have committed no
sin because their illegitimate infant ।
is a somewhat smaller infant than I
the one which was originally con- l
ceived.
The manner In which this meas-
ure is being promoted is an unpar-
donable degradation of the demo-
cratic process. The issue is as great
as any that can be raised in the
realm of constitutional government.
The procedure Is to pass the meas-
ure in the heat of the summer,
when public opinion is at its lowest
vitality, to achieve the end by evad-
ing debate, by resort to pressure, by
breaking down the physical resist-
ance of the opposition.
Surely a measure which signifies-
so much is entitled to cool. calm,
and thorough consideration: No one
can pretend that the administration
strategists are willing to let it have
cool. calm, and thorough considera-
buildings and no shacks in resi-
dential areas.
Districts into which cities can be
divided, according to Wood, are aa
follows Dwelling, apartment, re-
tail. commercial, and manufactur-

Zoning arranges a city into |
parts, according to a plan. Wood
said. "As long as these parts are
not kept separated, real estate
values are maintained at their
proper level which is a great aid
to tax assessors and collectors. If
all types of buildings are, mixed to-
gether indiscriminately, values are
problematical."
Wood said the city commission
under a zoning ordinance, could
supply utilities to each section ac-
cording to its needs with the knowl-
edge the plan could not be upset
with the erection of a four-story
apartment house among one-story
residences.
Among other advantages he list-
ed were:
Zoning does away with obsoles-
cence and prevents blight because
the use of property always is known.
It will prevent the migration of
high class business property from
one section to another with the re-
l suiting trail of vacant buildings be-

1 CHANNING. July 14—(A—Wheat
harvesting in Hartley county began
last week, but T. W. Powell, assist-
ant postmaster, says the yield will
be "fairly light." C. L. Kilgore, who
| has nine sections in wheat in Moore
county 20 miles east of here, is av-
, eraging 27 bushels to the acre. High
yields also are expected from other
fields in that district where cutting
has been in progress some time.
| Row crops, although late, are
। holding up well despite need of rain,
and good grass has resulted in fat
cattle. Hartley county received
about six inches of rain in May and
June, and suitable moisture in July
and August would assure good win-
ter pasturage Several dams in the
county have been completed and a
range contour and terracing pro-
gram is being carried on.
