time for relief is past. If those
who own autos now are not iu
position to pay the tax, there is
serious doubt if they will he any
better off in April.
Taxes are hard to pay even in
good times. They will always be
burdensome to most of ns.
Hut, now most banks that are
opeu— have stood the strain of
the past few years, if you please
have money to loan and are in
a loaning humor. The Govern-
ment is feeding the destitute iu
most every section of the nation
and they are also extending lib-
eral loans to farmers and indus-
tries. Business is feeling the ef-
fect some. Every one seems to
have more faith in the future. It
is not only in Texas but in the
entire nation.
So. members of the Texas Sen-
ate. we congratulate you on the
stand you took yesterday in the
automobile tag bill.
Tax Collector Junius Ehrlich
was in Corrigan Monday and we
understand he went back with
the cash for 1-- poll tax receipts
and several cheeks for property
tax tucked in his pocket. The
campaign of the B. M. Club for
poll tax payments was commend-
able and the- results more than
was hojted for.
Mr. Ehrlich was unable to stay
over for the banquet Monday
but stated that lie sincerely ap-
preciated the invitation.
•Unde Sam' Barrington—bless
his old heart-lie knew we need-
ed his announcement fee to pay
some bills today and he wanted
our readers to know he was in
the race fov Treasurer, so he
braved the cold rain yesterday
evening to come up and gladden
our hearts with liis announce-
ment fee and also a renewal sub-
scription to the paper.
Sam- H. Barrington is too well
known and loved in this county
for us to say anything good
about him that is not already a
matter of general information,
ami. during our twenty years ac-
quaintance with him we have
been unable to dig up anything
bad on him. So. thanks, Uncle
Satu.

Sheriff It. D. Holiday was
Corrigan Saturday ami called
the Plain Dealer office to see
we had room this week for
in
at
if
his
announcement. We did. We also
want to thank him for the re-
newal subscription he left.
Mr. Holiday has been connect-
ed with law enforcement in this
section for many years and his
steal for conscientious attention
to duty does not weaken with
the passing of time. He is rather
modest and does not seek publi-
city. His record is one to be
proud of and lie points with par-
donable pride to the fact that
not one unsolved mystery is on
record against him. Just last
year lie spent considerable cash
and nine months work running
down the guilty party who was
convicted of murdering his wife
in this county near Carmona.
