: fTHE BULLETIN recently said:
Over

ten million dollars was
spent last

ed States. We agree with the Senate
tepmmittee that it Is too much money
-tand that steps ought to be. taken to

.--'Commenting on the paragraph the Co-
aanche Chief says: jl
.Nothing startling about that.1 It
took over ?8000D to elect Hobby gov-
ernor of Texas and lie was running
against a man ihat had been impeach-
ed and (hat had the enmity of all! the
preachers and a!l the militant lsuf-
fragists among the women the wom-
en politicians organizing their forces
andbolding daily prayer meetings -to
ielp put Hobby over. ;But Texas; has
put a .stop to the SSO.000 'method of
campaigning. J
TVe have never been able to under-
tand why Hobby's campaign cost so
much money but the sworn campaign
statements indicated that it did cost
aiortune whether withjeause or with-
out. The high cost '-of campaigning
has-about reached a climax with! the
. .presidential campaign of last year;
and we xenture the prediction that a
much-needed reform is going"to bejwit-
nessed' in the campaigns both state
andjiational of the future. Buying

yTHE CONCERT BAND;

-vJ of Brady and McCulloch county
citizens "bad the pleasure of hearing

Standard continuing: i""The verdict
wasr unanimous that Brownwood has
i !
a'band that can compare with any) in
the state and that Brownwood bas
every reason to be proud of the organ-
ization .and the favorable publicity it
is giving Brownwood.

"There is no reason why Bradyjor

can not have a concertjband as good
as Brownwood's band. The band is a

gives the town valuable adverttsing

ter benefit 'is'probably greater than phe
former although the advertising giv-

ABOUT THE FIDE CHIEF.
Editor Bulletin:
I do not feel that 1 can let the op
portunity pass to say something in
regard to the resignation of ChieffW.
D. McCulley .of the Fir department
which was tendered recently especi-
ally after having heard J various citiL
zens or -Brownwood express tnem-r
selves in regard to the matter. I con-
sider it would be nothing less than a ;
disaster for the city of Brownwood
to permit W. D. McCulley to resign as
chief of the fire department. We musC
retain him as head -of that deparrment
as it is a matter of fa ctf that the de
partment has reached its highest de-
ree of efficiency under (his manage
ment and we should strive to main-;
tain it in this condition. I have an
experience of several years as fire-!
man and have had good! opportunity
to observe the efficiency and'Oapabili-
ty of numerous paid and volunteer
firemen and fire departments both in
Oklahoma and Texas. I used to think
the one at Cushing Oklahoma a city
of 10000 was as good Jas could he
found. But several months experience
at Brownwood has proved to me that
the department here is much superior
in unselfishness and efficiency at fires
than the Cushing department with
which I was acquainted for seventeen
years being a hiemberi for" -.many
years and the last six and one-half
years; a paid member. It is a fact well
worth noticing that the Brownwood
department js unexecellediih service to
their city. This department holds and
works together as a unit-j In my time
as fireman I have had occasion to hear
various members of other 'depart-
ments becoming unruly'and dissatis-
fied really buof control
of the lead-
department er but the Brownwood
has been in perfect harmony and this
applies to the different officers and
every individual member1 of the de-
partment
The city of Brownwood can be con
gratulated on the efficiency of her vplj-
untary fire department. The chief as-
sistant chiefs foremen secretary and
treasurer discharging their duties In
keeping with" the. highest (standard of
efficiency. As one of the paid mem-
bers it is my duty to perform the work
of fire fighting to the best; of my abil-
ity but what is it that causes the vol-
unteer firemen to enter into his haz
ardous business? Nothing else but
pure love to their city and its welfare.
The attendance of firemen at fires is
kept in a suitable ledger as a. matter
of record and this record shows that
the average attendance at fires of the
Brownwood fire department from
January- 1 1920 to December 31st
1920 an average of 2i 1-5 put of the
department and since January 1 this
year up to this date jhe average has
been .23 men which shows a decided
cRin. This lis considered as neintr a
splendid record for a city the. size of
Brownwood. Every volunteer "of the
department Is a hard working man
every hour in the day there being not
a single" -idle man in the1 entire HbL
Mayor Looney on taking office about

tended to give me the additional posi-
tion of Sanitary Commissioner and

PARIS March 2S. A dictatorship
as powerful as that established by
Lenin and Trotsky but of another
kind a dictatorship of peasant farm
ers has been set tin in Bulearia.

periment ..since war is on trial.
- SLimb'oulskv. the "farmer Prime
Minister?1 whose burly figure attract
ed great interest when he came to
Paris to sign the Bulgarian peace
treaty is its" head. His aim is not on-
ly to assert the supremacy of the ac-
ricultural classes over the city shop-
keepers and merchants but to force
every man in Bulgaria wno lias no
visible means .of support to get to
work on a farm and produce some
thing. His severest critcs charge
that he plans to reduce Sofia the cap-
ital to a;"mere. village; in fact to
wipe out all large cities and to con-
vert the entire codntry into a great
group of farming villages.
Roris Is Figurehead.
They call this new experiment the
I'Green International' to distinguish
it from the "Red International" of
Moscow. The strange part about it is
that in tlie war's evolution from mon-
archy to a form of peasant Soviet
government a king" has been left the
nominal head of Bulgaria. Boris
"rules" ijut no king was ever mdre
of a figurehead. Stambouliaky could
topple him from his throne any dav
without the slightest effoct but in-
stead he ignored Jilm. And he ig-
nores top the "tfery peasant Parlia
ment that put him in power when he
disagrees with Its decisions accord
ing to responsible observers who have I
visited SPfia since the farmers "rev
olution" swept the country.
jOne of these is Albert Londres a
Frenchman who spent several weeks
in Bulgaria investigating the "Green
International."
"Sofia is.not. all Hke Moscow" says
Londres. "A stranger leaving the
train finds the old aspects of the city.
If he wants to buy bread .het buys It
He can find himself a place to sleep
without going to a Soviet police au-
lhority.k No spies dog his footsteps

at Moscow except that -it is the dic-
tatorship of the peasant

"There is Parliament at Sofia but
Sfaniboulistfy does not depend upon

hlB decree. He. says to Parliament:
'Meet if it pleases you but dbn'i
bother me Periodically he hands in
at.jg resignation. Parliament JgiVes
g0es ahead. He himself is not boast-
ul; on the contrary ho realizes that
he jg trying a great experiment
"Stamboulisky has his own ideas
about equality and legnUty. If he
believes a beautiful home should1- bp;
at the service of the state he seizes
ft and Indemnifies the owner but at
pre-war value Some of the owners;
discontented with this process de-
molished their buildings rather; than
turn them over to the nation. Stam-
b'oullsky thereupon has. passed a. law
forbidding demolition of building's
without authority. . .
"He has inaugurated a system. ; of
forced labor but not like that at Mos

Stamboulisky believes this is one way
of keeping Bulgarians busy and away
from liuuor.
Dictator Well Received.
"As to economic measures the
State takes care of that The farmer
sells directly to thp State. The con-
sumer gains but some pf the peas-
ants prefer the old system under the
monarchy. Still they remember that
now they themselves are kings. The
peasant is chief and Stamboulisky js!
chief of the peasants."
Starmboulisky recently made a-tour
of 100 days visiting all European
capitals and was very well received.
Upon his return it was believed he
would proceed immediately to Sofia
and take up the reins of office. In-
stead he went away to his farm re-
mained there more than a week fin-
ally to emerge witha fresh lot of laws
in the interest of the peasants.
