"A billiou self respecting men and

"will inevitably resent the Hj-t of con'
.-srress: ill will and suamcion will grow
i "America will also' suffer in that
"this ill-will and resentment which
-may not necessarily lead to war will
-cause a demand for the expenditure of
hundreds of millions of dollars for
-defense on the Pacific coast. Con
'gress will be asked to build the great
''naval bases already planned at 8n
Diego San Francisco Puget Sound
: and Honolulu for which no money lias
et been appropriated. While such
ast construction would mean pros
' neritv for some of the Pacific coast
"it would mean hisher taxes for the
entire country."
Dr. Gulick. a former missionary in

With a Victrola you choose
the music the artists and the hour
Every music-lover treasures the memory of some concert some operatic
performance some music-event in which a iavorite artist has appeared. Tha
Victrola and Victor Records only permit you to recall such cherished hours
in the most realistic way; permit you to arrange such programs at such times
as the artists themselves might do if they played for you alone. Even then
it would be impossible to receive in a single evening one-tenth of the artists
whose great gifts are at your disposal at any moment through Victor Records
and Victrola Instruments.

TEXAS HEEDS W L
BECAUSE
1
The Railroad Commission of Texas Should
Have a Majority of Experienced Men
The Texas Constitution provides for six four and two-year terms
for the three Commissioners serving the people on the Railroad
Commission of Texas.
The Texas people in their wisdom voted this provision into the
present Texas Constitution in order that they may have an effi-
cient railroad commission.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROVISION WAS TO GIVE TO
THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS A MAJORITY OF EXPERIENCED
COMMISSIONERS AT ALL TIMES.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE STATE
ALL THREE PLACES ON THE RAILROAD COMMISSION '
ARE TO BE FILLED AT ONE ELECTION. DR. WALTER
SPLAWN RESIGNED AND A MAN WITH NO PREVIOUS
EXPERIENCE ON THE COMMISSION HAS BEEN AP-i
POINTED IN HIS PLACE.
In addition to being one of the present commissioners Mr. Nabora'
was a farmer railroad brakeman school teacher and practicing
lawyer. His past 25 years have been devoted to diversified farm
ing stock raising and marketing annually hundreds of carloads
of farm products. He knows the needs of farmer laborer and
shipper. His practical experience caused his appointment to sucf
ceed the late Allison Mayfield. He has served one year and is
now asking election for the remainder of Mr. Mayfield's unex-)
pired term. y
