Shall Texas Celebrate
Her Centennial ?
Shall Texas celebrate her
Centennial Anniversary? We
think she should. And we think
she should prepare right now
to make it an event worthy the
memory of the men who helped
to make Texas a Free and In-
dependent country; who plan-
ned, and labored, and achieved.
Birthdays are great events in
the lives of people and they
should likewise be made great-
er events in the lives of States
and Nations. To enable Texas
to properly honor the men and
Women who made Texas; to
properly place before the Na-
tion of which we are now a
part; will take much planning'
much labor and some money.
To provide a portion of this
the State Legislature has pro-
vided that this fall an amend-
ment to the Constitution shall
be voted upon and if passed
will give power to the legisla-
ture to make appropriations for
the support of this Centennial.
You will have opportunity to
vote on 'this Amendment in
November. Study it and see if
you cannot give it your whole-
hearted support.
Federal Excise Tax
On Automobiles
The proposed Federal motor
Vehicle excise tax should not
be accepted with closed eyes.
On first glance it seems an
easy and fair means of raising
revenue—but on consideration,
its vices far outweigh its
virtues.
One worker in every ten in
the country— 4,000,000 in all—
is dependent on the automo-
bile industry for livelihood, and
business generally looks to the
industry as one of the leaders
in the work of recovery. Auto-
motive plants are located in 41
states—all states contribute
material used in automobile
construction. Thus, any move
that would retard the sale of
motor cars would tend to in-
crease unemployment and slow
down business recovery.
There are, at present, 26,000-
000 motor vehicles in use in
this country, one-fifth of which
are owned by farmers. Two-
thirds of the buyers of cars
have incomes below $3,000 a
We stayed Cool With Cal
Coolidge so long that much of
our assets were frozen up and
now we are in some real pickel.
Notwithstanding the fact
that the government reduced
the size of the dollar bill they
certainly do look bigger than
ever now when we get our eyes
on them.
Hunter seems to be a good
old Scotch-Irish name and we
need some Scotch traits mani-
fest in our state government
for a time at least, so why not
fry Tom Hunter of Wichita
Falls?
President Hoover has not as
yet, to our knowledge, appoint-
ed a committee to go “around
the corner” and meet and greet
Prosperity and escort her to
her old home where she lived
when the Democrats were in
power.

“If you were born to be hung
you need not fear drowning”
was an old adage commonly,
quoted when we were young-
sters. We would like to inquire
if the Creator, having know-
ledge of the advent of the
automobile, has prepared the
needed ones to meet death by
that means?
Even the milkmen have their
troubles. It seems from the
information given out in the
daily papers that the big milk
companies in Dallas object to
those from whom they buy
milk belonging to organizations.
It Was reported that Tennessee
Dairies and Metzger’s refused
to accept milk from those who
joined the North Texas Milk
Producers’ Association. Under
the Marketing Act producers
are permitted to organize, we
are informed, but we were of
the opinion it Was an inherent
right of a free people. We have
lived in places where the voter
was told if he didn’t vote the
Republican ticket he did not
need to report for work. “Man’s
Inhumanity to Man Makes
Countless Millions Mourn.”

State Gets Most
Dallas Auto Fees
According to a report made
by Fred Cullum, chief of the
automobile registration de-
partment of the County Tax
Collector’s office in Dallas,
automobile owners of Dallas
County paid during 1931, the
sum of $1,063,658.21 in auto-
mobile license fees, but Dallas
County Was allowed to retain
only one-sixth of that sum, or
$175,000 for county road up-
keep, sending the remainder to
the State Highway • Commis-
sion, to be spent on roads in
other parts of the State.
The state law which re-
stricts the larger counties to a
smaller per cent of the auto-
mobile license fees, While al-
lowing smaller counties a
much larger proportion was
recently declared to be dis-
crimatory by a Harris county
district court, but Whether or
not that decision holds will
Carrollton I Perhaps be determined by the
SupremeCourt.

Chicago, Convention Champion of 1932
Chicago Stadium In which the Democratic. National Convention will be held.
Inset—Melvin A. Traylor, member of the Civic Committee which obtained the
Convention for Chicago
year, and 85 per cent of cars
sell for less than $750 whole-
sale. Consequently, the auto-
mobile tax would mainly affect
the persons of small means. In
many cases, the additional cost
made necessary by1 the tax
would prevent a sale.
What we need now is busi-
ness stimulation—and anything
that would act against that
should be discarded. The auto-
mobile sales tax may look good
on paper—but in its actual
working out.it would very like-
ly prove damaging to the en-
tire country.

/CHICAGO has Jumped Into a Ions
lead over other cities In the race
for winning convention assign-
ments, and particularly the two great
assemblages of Democrats ami Repub-
licans 111 June puts Chicago well In the
lead and gives the “Windy City" an
opportunity to Itage these colorful
affairs as a curtain raiser to the "Cen-
tury of Progress" which will bo a head-
line attraction in 1933, Already tho
convention pot is boiiir," merrily as
committees of prominent business men
aro organizing to receive thousands of
visitors in Chicago during June.
One ot the lean , s who has helped
to bring the blue ribbon convention
assignments to r ' go is Melvin A.
Traylor, president of the First National
Bank and a business man with a flair
for tackling big jobs. Mr. Traylor, a
mtl.lvo of Kentucky, has achieved na-
tional and , international fame In
finance and business by his distin-
guished service in Chicago, Texas and
throughout the Middle West. He waa
one of the delegation headed by E. N.
Hurley and Mayor Cermak of Chicago
who wont to Washington and clinched
their bid for the National Democratto
Convention with a fund of $200,000.
Chicago has exceptional facilities
for entertaining both Republican and
Democratic conventions within a sin-
gle month. Already the engineers aro
at work with blue prints to arrange tho
Interior of the hu'go Chicago Stadium
where both conventions will be held.
The assembling of both conventions
promises to be a great spectacle, for
the arena where delegates will he
seated will accommodate between
S,000 and 10,000. Circling the arena
are 16,000 seats where guests and visl--
tors may be accommodated.
Where Our Money Goes
We often consider the debt
ridden condition of foreign
countries and pat ourselves on
the back because the United
States is not in the same boat.
But if the trend of recent
years continues, it won’t be
long until we are.
In 1900, the per capita cost
of the Federal government Was
$7.29, and it increased ten per
cent in the next 16 years. In
1931, the per capita cost was
$34.37, an increase of 500 per
cent in 15 years. According to
a Treasury estimate, the com-
bined deficits of 1931, 1932
and 1933 will increase the Fed-
eral debt by the neat sum of
$3,250,000,000, hringing the
total debt to the staggering
total of $19,240,000,000.
The condition of the states is
even gloomier, while Federal
expenditures were increasing
730 per cent between 1903 and
1928, the states were more
reckless yet, with a 900 per
cent increase. Every family
in the country is saddled with
a government debt of $1,000!
The thoughtful citizen will
wonder if we are not approach-
ing a tax crisis, a point beyond
which we cannot pay. And he
is liable to come to the con-
clusion that the progress of
the country demands govern-
ment retrenchment and eco-
nomy, not in a vague future,
but right now.
