„ There are several reasons why
this amendment should receive
a favorable vote. In the first
place, the salary raise is so
ftrrutii in its total amount that
it would add but very little ad-
ditional burden upon the tax
payer. Thfr total increase
amounts to only $17,500 a year
and will call.for the addition of
one-twentieth of a cent tax on
the $100. The per capita in-
crease would be but one-third of
a cent a year,
iigain, the salaries of the res-
ponsible officials are entirely in-
adequate; they are by far not
wren a lMng wage for the men
in these positions. Think of $2,
500 as the salary of the Treas-
urer of Texas! There are banks
all around ua and all over the
Estate that pay their treasurers
~p: and cashiers and other officials
a8 much as that and more. These
state officials must use part of
their private incomes to pay for
| their official livings. ; fg fik ,

these officials are not adequate
for these days. In fact, they
have not been adequate for years

The present salary of $4,000
for the governor was fixed in
1806, and no governor has been
able to live on it. Those who
were poor lived poorly and went
out of office heavily In debt
Those who were men of means
found their private fortunes
materially impaired. Governor
Hogg let office without a dollar,
hftviig daring his public service
disposed of his homestead to
meet the demands upon his re-
sources. He did not die in pov-
. erty, it is true, but he had to
work very hard after leaving the
office to accumulate a compe-
tency. Joseph D layers, now in
his eightieth year, is working

NOT SUCH A BAD WORLD
AFTER ALL .
Every little while the heart of
man is cheered by contempla-
tion of a single concrete fact
that stands out eloquently lumin-
ous. What could be more chal-
lenging to the pessimism cloud
ing a biliously tinted vision fix
ed upon business dullness, fin
ancial stress and worry, the in-
gratitude of presidents, the

the perfidy of politicians,
the news that we have an unpre-
cedented crop of watermelons
Evidence of the determination
of southern farmers to diversify
crops thi8 season is furnished in
reports from Texas of an enor-
mously increased acreage plant-
ed to watermelons. Further-
more, "all conditions are favor-
able to large production." Of
special interest to the consumer
—the Enjoyer, let us say with
anticipatiye rapture of the ab
sorption by and by of the melon's
generous, cooling and delicious
juiciness—an efficient distribu
tion of tills melonic abundance
has been organized
If there is any answer to Lo-
well's question, "O' what is so
rare as a day in June." here it
is: "A nice big watermelon,
freshly cut through its axial me-
ridian." How its rich redness of
pulp, so harmoniously contrast-
ing with the green and white of
the rind,'and the fleck of glisten-
ing black seeds, smiles up at
fine I "Here be richness " it
seems to laugh. "Here be sweet-
ness! Let your eyes rejoice, and
your nostrils with your palate.
Take me to your heart for re-
freshment of mind and body!"
For the man assimilating a
watermelon, the world is surely
in tune, the sky is a heavenly
blue and the grass very green.
Youth is renewed and life re-
sumes its normal rose-color. All
envy, jealously, malice and un-
charitableness vanish into their
native nothingness and the fu
ture becomes bright with hope.
To the farmer, especially, this
big melon crop brings kindly and
convincing rebuke for pessimis-
tic complainings. He will now
