TEXT BOOKS FREE
The American people spend something over two billion
dollars each year for the maintenance and operation of
public schools. Twenty-two states have laws requiring
that school children be furnished text books free. The
tendency is for other states to adopt this same plan.
All in all, the amount spent for text books is only a
small part of the total expenditures for schools. . The
Federal Office of Education estimates that text books used
in the public schools cost for the year 1927-28 a little less
than $40,000,000, of which political units bought about two-
thirds of these. Yet, the $23,256,151 spent for free text
books represented only 1.63 per cent of the total public
school expenditures.
When one considers the tremendous amount of money
spent for public school education each year it is easy to
realize that the education of our youth is one of the largest
tasks of our various units of government.

TWO TYPES OF REPRESENTATIVES
Considerable comment follows the statement of Senators
Jones and Walsh meaning roughly that they would vote to
give the people of the United States a vote on the prohi-
bition question provided the people of their states desired
such a course.
The comment calls attention to the two theories of the
obligations of a representative of the people in public life.
Under one version a senator, for example, should vote as he
thinks his people would have him vote, regardless of his
own personal convictions. Under the other, a senator should
only follow his personal and private convictions, forcing the
people of his state to like them or defeat him.
There is much to be said on both sides of the argu-
ment. The truth of the matter is that the viewpoints are
those of men of different types, and there seems to be room
for some representatives of both kinds in this broad re-
public.
WHY YOU CANT BELIEVE ALL
One bright boy rises to remark that “you can’t believe
all that you see in the newspapers,” and no newspaper man
refutes the statement. Truth of the matter, most of the
news in a newspaper is based on what some meml>er of the
vast public says, and the fact that people sometimes twist
the truth, and fool newspaper men, explains the remark.
Another common remark that one hears is "I see where
The Texan savs. . .” and the speaker will go on to narrate
some news article that has been printed, never stopping to
think that a vast majority of the items that appear in print
arc merely reports of what others say or claim, which the
newspaper presents to intelligent readers leaving them to
pass their own judgment.

“The great loss of human life in street and highway
accidents and the toll of suffering among surviving victims
is a national concern of grave importance.”
These are the wortls of President Hoover, addressing a
conference interested in cutting down the death toll, which
last year reached 31,000 with more than 1,000,000 others in-
jured. Certainly, among the people of Wheeler county there
are many vitally interested in any undertaking that will in-
