A Little Effort Will
Curb Fly and Mosquito
Austin, Texas, April 1.—Word
has just been received by the
State Department of Health that
Mr. and Mrs. Mosquito and Mr.
and Mrs. Ply, with their kin-
folks, are on their way to Texas
for the summer season. They
state that, although many had
died since last summer, they
would soon have large families.
Mrs. Mosquito raises from fifty
to three hundred children at one
time and only takes around two
weeks to have full giown chil-
dren. Mrs Ply admitted that
she and her husband could be
ancestors to a million flies in one
season.
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, 8tate Health
Officer, stated that Texas hospi-
tality could be refused the Ply
and Mosquito families if Annual
Clean-Up Week from April 4 to
11 is used to begin a thorough
campaign to eliminate the breed-
ing spots of these pests
Mosquitoes are responsible
for the spread of malaria, dengue
and yellow fever. Malaria is
spread by the bite of the anop-
heles or malaria mosquito. Den-
gue fever and yellow fever are
transmitted by the A e d e s
Aegypti or Tiger mosquito. The
best way to prevent these disea-
ses is to destroy breeding places
of the mosquito. They breed in
standing water, therefore, you
should drain, ditch or fill such
olaces, spray oil on water each
week, too, or stock the water
with surface minnows as they
will eat the wiggle-tails. Houses
should be screened.
Plies help spread typhoid
fever, dysentery, diarrhea, tu-
berculosis, anthrax and cholera.
They breed, live and feed in
filth. To prevent their increase
all refuse should be disposed of
at onoe, garbage kept in covered
containers, privies made sanitary
and houses screened. Every
neighborhood raises its own flies
so that their number is an ex-
cellent index to the sanitary
conditions.
Arotmd The Capitol
By J Doyle Settle
This week witneased the pas-
sage of an inorease in the pro-
duction tax on sulphur When
I came to Austin as a member
of the Legislature in 1935, the
tax on sulphur was seventy-five
oents per ton, production tax.
In the last called session we
Increased the tax to $1 03 per
ton, and last Monday the House
boosted the tax to $1.26 per ton;
this is a 70 per cent increase in
the tax. I stated to the people
that I favored an increase in the
natural resource tax, and I voted
for the above tax increases. I
am not for placing too heavy a
burden of taxation on anyone,
large or small, that would run
them out of business.

Many and varied were the
forms of entertainment in Semi-
nole, during the Easter season
On Sunday at 11 a tn. a union
service was held at the Methodic
Church, with the Presbyterian
and Baptist pastors and mem
bers participating.
On Friday preceding Easter ail
the youngsters in the primary
grades enjoyed hunts which were
sponsored by their teachers
Sunday morning, despite the
zero weather, the younger popu-
lation were out by sun up to
gather the brightly hued eggs
laid by the beloved Easter bun-
nies
A number of teachers from the
various churches entertained
their classes on Sunday after-
noon. The chief form of enter-
tainment being egg hunts.
The Legislature was honored
last week, Wednesday, by hav-
ing as our guest speaker of the
day, the Honorable Jim Parley,
Postmaster General of the United
States, and Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Commit-
tee. Mr. Parley made a splendid
address to the Legislature He
stated there was no cause to be
come alarmed in regard to an
Increase in the personnel of the
Supreme Couit. He stated that
the number would be increased
undoubtly and that the men ap-
pointed b.y tiie President and
approved by the Senate of the
United States would have to be
of the highest type of men be-
fore the Senate would ratify the
appointment.
It is the general corridor talk
that the purpose of this trip by
Mr. Parley is to sound out the
possibilities of his candidacy for
the Presidency of United 8tates
in 1940.
I had as my guests at the
8peaking Mr. Arnos Howard,
Postmaster of Lubbock; Mr.
Scudder, Postmaster of Slaton;
Mr. Mann, Postmaster of Level
land and Mr Dallas, Postmaster
of Brownfield, they iiaving been

The House of Representatives
and the Senate this week voted
final passage of the $19,000 emer
gency appropriation for Texas
Technological College. Pour
thousand of this is for the pur-
pose of finishing the hard sur-
facing of the roads on the cam-
pus. Fifteen thousand is to be
used in constructing the first
unitof a Spanish dormitory for
boys that have very limited
amount of money to attend col
iege. It is the hope of Senator
Nelson and myself to add to this
structure from time to time.
Eventually we will have a com
plete unit for the students who
possesses little funds.
Are we going to establish in
this country a medieval system
under which a man is not allow-
ed to enter a business if his
prospective competitors are too
soft or too numeroas to stand bis
competition?” asks Business
Week. “That seems to be what
some of our price fixing laws are
leading up to.”
Business Week then cites a
law in a Middle-Western state
under which all car dealers are
licensed — and, if they make what
state officials consider excessive
trade-in allowances, may be
denied renewal ot their license*,
which amounts to forcing them
out of business. Under such a
system, a business can become
100 per cent “politically control-
led’’—no man can enter it with-
out political pull and approval.
The magazine add: “If this is
good 'or auto dealers, what about
clothing stores and retail grocers
and magazine publishers? What
business will your son be able to
enter? Your own business and
no other? Are we to become a
nation of hereditary castes?”
Many other kinds of laws
attempt to fix prices, change the
law of supply and demand, or
interfere with free and legitimate
| competition. Thus, according to
a summary made by the Insti-
tute of Distribution, more than
300 bills affecting retailers were
introduced in state legislatures
in the brief period between
January 1 and February 17 of
this year. 8ome of these laws
advocated trade regulations;
others would create sales taxes;
others would restrict operations
or levy class taxes against chain
stores. They represent unna-
tural interference with the esta-
blished economic machine and
penalize the consumer.
Medieval” is a good word for
legislation of this kind. Its
benefits are non-existent and it
is without social or economic
justification.
In order to make room for our new
1937 line of Wall Paper we are now
offering a discount of 33 1-3 per cent
off on all 1936 pattern*.
We are still without a Pardon
Board or Parole System. Tiie
House of Representatives and
Senate passed regulations for
the new board as authorized by
the people last summer in a
constitutional amendment, but,
last Friday the Governor vetoed | LaiTlCSfl
the bill, chiefly because the mem-
bers of the board should spend
about twenty days of each mou-
th at the penitentiary interview-
ing persons, and because the bill
also provided that the members
of the board could not perform
any other function except that
of a board members duties.
