TAXES AND POLITICS

S It places a potent weapon in the

E “We did our best to lighten the
i burden of taxation," they will say,
. “but in spite of our best efforts in
behalf of the tax payers the demo-
ye crats and progressives vetoed the
scientific Mellon plan."
Of course there may not be a
e word of truth in such an argument

Ethical Canons for Business
From the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat:
To the National Chamber of
Commerce at its meeting In Cleve-
land May 6 a committee will rec-
ommend the adoption of a code of
ethics to govern the every-day
trade transactions of the business,
world. One of the canons in this
proposed code sets forth that busi-
ness should so conduct itself as to
render restrictive legislation un-

SCHOOLS AND MONEY—
Mineral Wells has a fight on to
vote more school taxes on the com-
munity. Even Mineral Wells, as
staid and solid old city as it is—is
, looking upward and outward for
I something that will give the town a
good kick and a boost in paths of
progress. We make the wager the
; old health town will pull itself out
of the moss age and vote the taxes
, proposed. No town can grow and
prosper unless it looks well to the
development of its brain and brawn
resources. Of course Mineral Wells
will step her schools up a few
notches.—Breckenridge American.
Of course, no town ought to fail
to support its schools to the limit.
There are no doubt many citizens
who believe that the schools cost .
a lot money, and they are right
about it, too. Any enterprise,
which is worth while, costs money
to operate. Because the schools
do cost a lot of money, shows that
they are very much worth while.
Abilene Is going to have a bond
election before very long, and of
course it ought to carry and will
carry many folks believe. In fact,
this city cannot afford not to car-
ry the election, most of the money
from which will be used for the
schoo ls.___
GOOD TIME—
—This week offers the last oppor--
tunity to finish the clean-up cam-
paign in preparation for next
week’s convention. A marked im-
provement in the appearance of the
city has been made during* the past
few weeks of clean-up work, but

legislation is already in existence,! there are still many odds and
