THE STATE OF TEXAS
To all persons interested in the
Welfare of Sidney Lankford and Inez
Lankford Minors.
Mrs. Sallie Lankford has filed in
the County Court of Stonewall Coun-
ty, an application for Letters of
Guardianship upon the Estates of
said Minors, Sidney Lankford and
Inez Lankford,
which said application will be
heard at the next term of said Court,
commencing on the Third Monday in
June A. D. 1928, the same being the
18th day of June A. D. 1928, at the
Court House thereof, in Aspermont,
Texas, at which time all persons in-
terested in the welfare of said Min-
ors, may appear and contest said ap-
plication, if they see proper to do so.
Herein Fail Not, but have you be-
fore said Court, on the said first day
of the next term thereof, this Writ,
with your return thereon, showing
how you have executed the same.
Given under my hand and seal of

lets from a machine gun; with Pres-
idential vetoes beating a tattoo on
Capitol Hill; with convention candi-
dates and their managers trooping
into the city and out again; with the
revelation of campaign expenditures
spreading, blanket-like, to cover all
camps; with the vested interests
bringing up the heavest artillery in
their lobbies; and with the call of the
coming- conventions sounding- over
all, like a bugle at sunset—with all
this dash, and vigor, mixed in with
the spirit of Auld Lang Syne, the
nation's capital was an electric city
last week, filled with swiftly shifting
action.
There seemed no really outstanding
feature in the heavy volume of news
that went clicking over the wires to
every city in the land. The Presi
dent's veto of the McNary-Haugen
bill might well have been a sensation,
had it not been confidently expected
and had it not been dulled a bit by his
veto of a similar bill last year.
It strutted its course across first
pages for but a day and then gave
way to other big developments crow-
ing its heels.
The great volume of testimony
anent the moneys spent thus far in
the Presidential campaign—that, too,
might well have stood alone in the
center of the stage in less eventful
times. In the hurry and bustle, it
was but a one-day sensation, if, in-
deed, it could be called a sensation at
all. It was a picturesque and unusu-
al thing' to witness, this filling past
the Senate tribunal of those who
would make them President, and it
deserved a more leisurely review than
permitted by the stress of the mo-
the President and his wife were sit-
ting before the fire, they were think-
ing it over. Mrs. Coolidge had just
told her husband of the way it hap-
pened.
"Um!" said the President. "You
say he was asleep?"
"Yes, Calvin."
"What time of day." .
"About four o'clock in the after-
noon." "Um!"
The next time Mr. Dawes had a
chance to break a tie, he fumbled it,
failed to vote and later tried to to,
but was blocked. Last week, how-
ever, he stood right up and voted and
the Senate, right merry over his suc-
cess, applauded vigorously.
The new tax bill provides for a cut
in the corporation rate, abolition of
the federal tax on automobiles, and
changed surtax rates in some cases.
The automobile provisions account for
about one third of the$205,000,000 cut
Otherwise it mainly benefits only the
corporations and the rich. The indi-
vidual normal tax rates were untouch-
ed.
In the closing hours of debate,Sen-
ator Reed of Missouri tried to hitch
a rider to the bill., but failed. The
rider was the farm debenture meas-
ure, now apparently lost.
A muscle Shoals bill passed the
House and another bill on the same
subject, the Senate At this writing
the conferences have not smoothed
out tbe differences, so the details
must be left for later review. Boul-
der dam legislation, having passed
the Senate, came up in the House a-
six he returned without approval.

JESSE H. JONES
Jesse 1-1. Jones, named by Texas
Democrats at Boumont convention as
their standard bearer in the coming
national meet in Houston, fits the
party platform in every particular,
Governor Dan Moody said, in com-
mending the Democracy of Texas on
its choice. He said:
"The Texas delegation will undoubt-
edly take great pleasure in presenting
Mr. Jones to the convention as a cai-.-
didate for the Democratic nomina-
tion. The convention adopted a res-
olution presenting him as the choice
of the democracy of Texas for the
nomination.
He has attracted nation wide atten-
tion by his successful efforts in bring-
ing the national convention to Texrrv
for the first time in history and the
first time that it has been in the South
In more than a half a century He
achieved this single handed and Was
able in the critical moment to write
his personal check fop the required
guarantee. One thing which contri-
buted to his successful efforts in this
respect was the service which he had
rendered the executive committee in
handling the finances of the party.
"His scfupulously honest manage-
ment of the finances of the party is
in striking contrast with the corrupt
record of the Republican party in its
financial matters, and presents strong
appeal to the electorate.
The compliment which was paid
him at the Beaumont convention was
a^ great and deserved tribute, and it is
certainly a great honor to be the
choice of the Texas Democracy for
the nomination. His accomplishments
in the business world prove his ability
and there is no part of the convention
platform which ho could not stand on
or accomplish."
Texas produces about six to seven
per cent of the total mineral values
produced in he United States.

Nearly all the candidates have'
testified and nearly all their mana
gers and thus far no taint of scaldal
has been attached to a single item of
expenditure. The sums spent have
not been unduly large, it would ap-
pear, the largest sum, somewhat more
than $300,000 having been expended
in the effort to nominate Herbert
Hoover. This probably amounts to
less than five cents a voter in the
States where the battle has been
waged. In the case of other candi-
dates, the per capita expense has
been far less.
The vigor with which Mr. Coolidge
landed on the McNary-Haugen bill
left no doubt of his views. He told
congress that the measure was "cru-
elly deceptive", "highly objectiona-
ble," "fantastic", and "price-fixing"
by the government in its most offen
sive form. He added that he had
hoped congress would pass a law to
aid the farmers instead of a measure
to help along the "exporters, canners,
millers, packers, spinners and other
processors". It would be hard to
imagine, he asserted, "a more flag-
rant case of the employment of all
the coercive powers of the govern-
ment for the profit of a small number
of specially privileged groups."
Senaeor McNary ,co-author of the
bill, and many another stateman saw
red at the President's sizzing rebuke.
"The President's message", said
McNary, "demonstratse both a want
of sympathy and a lack of knowledge
on the subject. It contains nothing
helpful and much that is wholly de-
structive. The person who wrote it
had more language at his command
than ideas". S
Wall Street had a little nervous fit
the day before the veto came and put
the greased skids under prices. But
when Mr. Coolidge came through
with his clean hit, stocks went up a-
gain and new high prices were estab-
lished in some lines.
The veto went to the Senate. Un-
der the usual procedure, that body
would have first whack at disposing
of the veto. It was planned to put
the bill quietly to; sleep in committee.
In such event the House would not
get it at all for purposes of repassing
it over the veto.
Working feverishly after months of
laz, congress passed some other im-
portant measures. The Senate had
a last convulsive return to Old Guard
Republicanism and passed an admin-
istration tax bill, Vice-President Daw-
es deciding a tie in one phase of the
voting. Twice before Mr. Dawes had
this unusual opportunity. The first
