FREIGHT RATES UNFAIR TO LUBBOCK
WHOL.ESAI.ER.S
LuLbork merchants ia competition with mer-
chant of Sweetwntrr and Amarillo are hard hit by
the rank injustice caused by our present freiKht
rates based on intermediate point figures. At least
$100000 can be saved to Lubbock coniumers.
wholesalers and manufacturers by securing the ad-
vantage of making Lubbock a common shipping
point that ia. enjoying the lowered rates in the
opinion of some of our very best business men.
This injustice is hurting. A concrete example
of the injustice can be brought forward from the
fact that coal can be shipped from the north or
west through the town of Lubbock on to Sweet-
water and retailed at more than $ I per ton less
than what consumers have to pay in our city. An
average cost of $50 per car of coal can be saved
ia freight rates to Lubbock by getting advantage
of the common point rates according '$ T. W.
Thomas of the Thomas Grain Ac Fuel Company.
Another instance of how it hurts: Martins
P kery. competing with bakeries of Sweetwater
itnd Amarillo in the territories adjacent to each is
h ndicapped with a $50 per car higher freight rate
en flour than merchants of these other cities. The
tame difference in cost of manufacture and whole-
le prices on the hundreds and hundreds of articles
v.holesaled out of Lubbock is apparent on a scale
proportionate with the rate on flour. Therefore
Lubbock wholesalers must compete with Amarillo
distributor and yet pay more freight cost than
Sweetwater merchants.
Lubbock is an important shipping point. We
dare assert that more freight originates from Lub-
bdck as.n concentrating point than Sweetwater. We
' believe that Wholesalers receive as much tonnage
tr.nually in Lubbock as do thou of many towns
enjoying the advantage of common point freight
rates.
Zoning and selecting of common and mtermed-
i. . shipping points was made when Lubbock did a
v?ry small business in proportion to what it does
today.
We believe that $100000 saved annually to
otr local dealers and consumers is a business pro-
position that demands attention of the Chamber of
Commerce. We believe that no other project de-
mand more immediate attention than the read-
justment of the prevailing unfair freight rates.
"An expend. ture of $25000. if necessary would
be one of the biggest investments the City of Lub-
bock can make in securing the advantages of a
lowered freight accompanying common point desig-
nation" savs a business man who has the interest
of our city at heart and who is in actual touch
with the unfair rates and its effect upon business
of Lubbock.
It is good news that HO undesirable id. ens re
tu be deported lV the United Slates government
within the ncut few weeks. Radical trouble-makers
nil. thev have proved a menace to this country
and are bring put out of it.
It is only the second deportation of its kind
since the war closed. Alexander Bcrkmnn. Emma
Goldman and other "reds" were depotted in 1919.
This is not getting rid of the radicals very fast
but better than allowing them to stay in the Unit-
ed States.
The 150 now being deported represent near-
ly every European nationality. They are to be
sent back to the countries from which they came.
It would be good for our future if full policy
were obtained in these countries of the fact that
the United States has expelled the undesirables.
It would be well to emphasize the fact that they
have been expelled after having served terms of
imprisonment
For radicals to know that they face arrest and
deportation in this country would be some de-
terrent to their coming. TJ vo-dd have vrrrat-
rr disinclination if they "knew that imprisonment
for a considereL'.j period would precede depor-
tation. The more we can discourage these government-wreckers
from coming to the United
Steles the less trouble we shall have with them
and the less expense; for to detect arrest con-
vict imprison care for transport and finally de-
nort undesirables is dpstly. It is the same as
taking a sum of money out of the pocket of every
American taxpayer.
Those who have been deported and those who
are about to be are samples of the kind of im-
migrants the United States cannot afford to tol-
erate. They are useless and unassimiable. They
are fomenters of dissatisfaction and enemies or
labor. They are hostile to the government of the
United States foes to law and order enemies of
every person who owns property of any descrip-
tion. The oftener these deportation parties can be
arranged and the more publicity that can be
given in Europe to such deportations the less vc
shall be troubled with immigrants who have to
be deported.

Gentlemen:
I am sending you Cashier's check number 7633 (on State National Bank
Albuquerque N. M.) for $800 for which please issue lo me certificate for
eight shares of Full-Paid stock at $100 par and at eight per cent interest.
Please make this payable to Mr or Mrs. or
survivor.
Yours respectfully
(Name Withheld)
This letter was received Sunday afternoon and is now on file in the
office of the Lubbock Building & Loan Association. If it is good for this man
who understands the workings of the Building and Loan four or five hundred
miles away from Lubbock why should it not be good for Lubbock people
when it is their own association?
Boost your town and stand pat on what you
think is the best way to achieve great things for
your community. A mushroom is pretty good in
its place but a man's spine should be real stuff. . '
knocking never gains anything when done bv
a pessimist but a few good jolts from the right
sources are sometimes necessary. i
Don't tell n man to leave this place just merely
because he is displeased with the way some things
are conducted. Tell him we need all the good con-
servative fellowship that can be created here and
show him where to begin.
C.ood work is commendable kind words sock-
jen at the right time inspire friendship and friendli
ness is an inexhaustible source of happiness.

MAKE EM kICk' IN. BOYS
The Beacon acknowledges that it made a mis-
take by printing the plate matter of Barby Burrh.
We thought we were handling Farm Bureau stuff
but it develops that Mr. Runh is not friendly with
that oryaniat.f n anil that he is working in the in-
terest of the speculators. All of which goes to prove
that the only safe and reasonable course for a pub-
lisher to follow' is t ) refuse to handle any and all
free publicity matter unless a gilt edge check ac-
companies same. We bet in the future the person
that gets this free dope this political and semi-
political "released for publication"' stuff in the Bea-
con will have to go some. If times were not so
close we' would give somebody fifty cents to give
us a genuine good kicking for publishing the Bar-
ney Burch dope. We claim to be a pretty live pub-
lisher and have average intelligence in conducting
our business but with all our caution we occasionally
get taken in by the space grafters. Hereafter we
will make an iron-clad rule not to publish any of
this free publicity stuff no matter where it comes
from and bv this means we hope to be able to es-
cape the wilds and deceptions of the space grafters.
Lockney Beacon.
This free stuff always has a string to it and the
donors are after something every time and if a
fellow does not watch out. his column will be poison-
ed with the rankest kind of stuff that he does not
endorse and would not print for money if he had
to set it up. Plate matter is real handy some times
and if you will pay enough for it and know what
you are getting it is not so bad but this release
stuff is put up in handy packages so that the printer
in a hurry to fill in a hole and get on the press will
slim it in and not pay much attention to what it is.
and some times they Ki stung just like the Beacon
says he did. And then this ia campaign year too
and the candidates are wanting to get themselves
before the public and they too will be buying a lot
of plate matter and sending it out to the printers
for "release." They will write such a smooth let-
ter that some of the printers over the country will
actually think said candidate is doing them a favor
by sending it to them. Cut it out boys. If a fellow
wants an office let him pay the expense of adver-
tising. Not one in a dozen of them would turn on
their heel to accommodate you in a tight place. If
it is worth anything to thern to be usee! in the paper
it is worth paying for so make 'em kick in.

Lubbock through the Junior Chamber of Com-
merce is going to how her appreciation of what
the traveling men ere doing for Lubbock bv giv-
ing a banquet in their honor on the I I th of March.
The traveling men as a whole are splendid fellows
and they ire men wh inn be appro lied on mat-
ters and get sensible henekt statements from them
and people are bnd.ng this out much mure of late
and their statements ate credited with nmli
we-i ht; and for that reason their reports on the
Lubbock section is having great influem with the
people for tlm brttrtment of LubbiM k. and Lub-
bock pec pie epj'te. i.' it vrty ihim h and t show

Don't worry too much about your neighbor's
faults. Give him the kindly considerations of a
friendly associate and maybe you will pet close
enough to him to learn something about his way
of looking nt things.
NOT AFFRAID OF DEATH
Mu'h is said of hnttlv;.'ing now-a-adays. but
e believe a fellow who will drink bottles whis-
key is one vho does not fear death becauce any-
one who would risk drinking the stuff would have
to be a man of that type for they say that he is
drinking something which might put him in his cof-
fin wi:hin twenty-four hours and there seems to be
a good many men in the United States who are
willing to take the chance.

Fire insurance companies have announced a
reduction of fifteen per cent from the regular rate
of insurance in Lubbock on account of the splendid
record maintained by the City of Lubbock. This
means a lot of money to the business men and
other property owners of Lubbock and this is
brought about largely by the efficient work of the
Volunteer Fire Department and we believe that the
property owners of the city should show their ap-
preciation of their faithful rervice. by seeing that
they get additional fire-fighting equipment with
which to work. A three quarter inch hose on a
hydrant in the yard might avail much if the dog
house was on fire but it would not be noticed if a
building as large as the court house was to catrh
fire. This is just about the comparison that the
Lubbock equipment is to vhnt they really ehould
have. If a real serious f re was to break out in
Lubbock there would be little chance to stop it
and the damage would likely be fifty times what a
genuine up to the minute fire-fighting apparatus
would cost. It was suggested by one of the lead-
ers in the business circles of Lubbock at a recent
banquet by the Lubbock Fire Department that he
would be willing to donate the fifteen per cent
saved on insurance toward buying equipment and
we believe that this would be a very good basis
on which to work and we feel sure that many
property owners would be willing to do likewise
and this would raise quite a neat sum of money for
this purpose. Suppose somebody works out a plan
something like this and get busy on it.

'They are just poor people and

This remark was made by a muri of

poverty a crime? If it is I dure

are mor guilty than those wh- ore
poor. I'p to the present there is
no law enabling the rich to kill the
