The very first business of the
next congress should be to vote
on themselves an income tax.
Others pay this tax and why not
these fellows who live on, the fat
ibf the land and take of the peo-
k,s money each $7,500 a year?
This is $7,000 more than some of
them earned before going to con-
and why not nunk pro
with a little of this good
as.

No. 7 due — 3:40 a. m
No. 9 due 2:42 p. m

No. 10 due — 3:05 a.m
No. 8 due 3:55 p.m
to Houston a month ago. Word
Tuesday morning from the man
who mixes and pours the glue
and molasses was to the effect
that the stocks were received
and that the rollers would be
shipped in due course of time if
not sooner. We are already in
sackcloth and some ashes, so give
us a chance for our white aggie
brother.
If the government wants
really save a few barrels
money to the tax-payers let the
publication of that old chestnut,
the. Congressional Record, be
dispensed with and the free dis-
Sr tribution of garden seed that
never come up cut out. Years
since senators and congressmen
who wanted their constiuents to
read the Record planked down 3
planks for it and in this way the
government was helped out a little
on its publication. But no re-
lief can come from the garden
seed graft except by cutting it
out. ' j
Miss Margaret Wilson, daugh-
ter of our democratic President,
was royally entertained on her re-
concert tour through Texas
the hospitality was rightly
appreciated by this splendid
woman who is in a class
with Mrs. Helen Gould Shep-
pard, Florence Nightengale and
others whose every effort has
been to bring sunshine into tHe
hearts of those in -the humbler
walks of life. Miss Wilson's
sweet songs in San Antonio
alone netted the Red Cross
within a few dollars of two thou-
sand. _______
Good roads elections are being
held in many counties in Texas,
and as far as our observation
goes, in nearly every instance,
the progressives win out. In
IV the days ot. our forefathers tHe
ox-team and the rough roads
Were not so noticable as now, as
> the automobile for both passen-
ger and freight service has come
to stay and to make it a paying
proposition better roads must be
provided. Our people will soon
have an opportunity to vote on
road betterments and it is hoped
will not miss this golden
•rtunity to make an invest-
ment to every one having a dol-
lar invested in the county and
especialy in count.v real estate:
We notice a r umber cf our ex-
changes nre afflicted with white
•pott, eauwd by trying to use old
roller* in cold weather. It cost U9
About fifteen dollars to oure ours.
Ves, it costs high to produce a nice,
eiean and legible nerwspaper,—
Yorktown News,
And we are one of the which.
Stocks for new Rollers were sent
Buntsville, Texas. Representa
tiveFrank Holaday, conducting the
investigation of the prison system
at this place, went further into
the details of the transfer
the Eastham property to the
State when he called before the
committee Howell Mayes, tax col
lector of Waller county. Mr. Mayes
stated to the committee that he re
ceived the sum of $4,500 for his as
sistance -in making the sale to the
State. This amount was paid to
him by the law firm of Hill & Elkins
of this city as a free will offering for
his services. He further testified
that he went over the property
with former Governor Ferguson
and that the State paid $50,000
more than the Easthams offered
the land for sale.
Highway Election Postponed
At the meeting of citizens the
first of the week it was decided to
postpone the election called for
December 18, until after the first
of January. The change was
made necessary by an error
of procedure discovered by the
highway commission after the
papers were filed with them. The
errot will have no effect upon the
sum of money appropriated by
the state and the U. S. govern-
ment, but its correction is ad-
visable to insure more speedy re
suits after the election carries.
Some of the citizens have been
securing the signatures of voters
the past week who "would agree
to vote for the roads when the
election is called and already
more than half of the number of
voters necessary to carry the
election have signed up. This is
a good business move, for never
again within the time of the
present generation, if ever, will
the U. S. government make such
an appropriation towards roads.
If we fail to get our share now,
which has been set at practically
1,000, some other section will
grab it. In addition at present
practically $4000 a year comes
from state auto licenses for such
roads in this county, and no
other if there is such a road in
the county. This amount in-
creases with the number of
autos.
Everyone realizes that roads of
this kind must built in the near
future as none other will stand
the heavy traffic increasing daily.
Now is our chance to get a big
slice of help and later the chance
will be gone. The voters of this
section are too good business
men to let such a big saving slip
through their fingers.

The regular meeting of the
Red Cross was held Monday af-
ternoon. A letter was read from
Fayetteville asking the Schulen-
burg Auxiliary to unite with the
Chapter recently formed there
and to send delegates to the
meeting. After much discusion
it was decided that Schulenburg
continue as an auxiliary-at-large.
This decision because we have
outlined our work and systemat-
ized it and that a change in the
organization would entail addi
tional expense with no corres-
ponding gain.
Every member of the Red
Cross who has not obtained a
Red Cross pin is asked to call at
headquarters and get one. S.
