BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEG-
ISLATURE OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS:
Section 1. That Section 5, of Ar-
ticle XI, of the Constitution of Tex
as, be amended so as to hereafter
read as follows:
“Section 5. Cities having more than
five thousand (5000) inhabitants,
may, by a majority vote of the quali-
fied voters of said city, at an election
held for that purpose, adopt or
amend their charters, subject to
such limitations as may be prescrib-
‘ for Governor.

Sunday papers reported that scien-
tists were planning to descend into
the crater of Mount Vesuvius in
search of scientific truths. We dislike
to attribute an ulterior motivie to the
scientiists, but, if the summer over
there has been as hot as it has here,
they may be looking for a cool place.

Prisoners in the Louisiana State
prison tried John Dillinger’s wood-
en pistol scheme to gain their free-
dom Saturday with the result that
two are dead and six wounded. That’s
one time an attempted break was en
countered by guards whose guns had
not been spiked with the coin of the
realm. »

The fact that Jefferson T. Baker,
who appropriated the name of George
B. Terrell to his own use for polit-
ical purposes received 246,883 votes
for state Treasurer in the July 28
primary, shows that Texans select
their officials in a haphazard man-
ner. After being grandted permission
to use the name “George B. Terrell,’
permission was revoked and the mat
ter given much publicity in the press.
• it seems that there are too many
names on the ballot to permit intel-
ligent voting. The fact has brought
about agitation favoring shortening
the ballot by electing the major of-
ficials and have them appoint their
help. It might be a good plan. When
people vote as blindly as they did
for this man Baker, who ran as Ter-
rell, it is evident that somethiing
ought to be done.

The price of hogs went to $6 per
100 on the St. Louis market Tuesday
—the highest figure since October
19, 1931. The drouth and government
seem to be getting results in their
campaign for higher prices for agri-
cultural products.

Canada had its first kidnaping case
Tuesday when John L. Labatt,
wealthy brewer, was seized and a de-
mand for $150,000 ransom made.
How Canada has kept down kidnap-
ing is more than a citizen of this
country can understand, and the
manner in which the case is dealt
with will be watched with interest.

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
No. 42.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEG
ISLATURE OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS:
k
-'dimes' make sti^fT^e bedfellows.
,Clint Small and C. C. McDonald
h.ave announced that they will vote
for Tom Hunter in the runoff pri-
mary, apparently having decided all
those terrible things that were said
about Mr. Hunter in the first pri-
mary were not true.
On the other hand, perhaps they
were only looking for votes in the
first primary and now seek to keep
their place in the political sun by
climbing on somebody’s bandwagon.
Jim Allred and Tom Hunter were
subjected to some of the dirtiest vil-
lificaton in the first primary that
we have ever heard. Clint Small was
certain that Mr. Hunter’s platform
was “tomfoolery.” Jim Ferguson, C.
C. McDonald’s chief backer, referred
to Tom in the friendly language of
“Tom, the missing link, the man who
makes you think man came from
monkey.”
Yet now we find that all those
“lies that were told about T<^n Hun-
ter were not true,” and these two de-
feated candidates ask their followers
to support the man whose platform
is “tomfoolery,” who “makes you
think man came from monkey.”
But all the “lies that were told
about Jimmy Allred are still true.”
At least Mr. McDonald and Mr,
Small do not think he is the proper
person for governor. They take back
all that was said about Tom, but
i stand pat on what they or their sup-
porters said about Jim. Funny reas-
oning? Sound logic? Neither. Just
silly politics and we do not believe
the average person will be fooled.
Clint Small, speaking at Ballinger
on July 26 said: “What has Tom
Hunter ever done for Texas? Hunter
is just a loud promise.”
And a week later he takes it all
back and says he will vote for Tom.
Mr. Small, speaking in El Paso
on July 25, said: “Hunter’s platform
has more tomfoolery in it than I
ever read. He has nothing to recom-
mend him but a lot of wild promises.”
And the next wegk he says he will
vote for Tom Hunter. The 13,000
Texans who voted for Mr. Small must
be in somewhat of a quandary as to
what to believe when Mr. Small
makes a statement.
Section 1. That Section 30, Article
16 of the Constitution of Texas be
amended so as to hereafter read as
follows: ■
“Section 30. The'duration of all ofj
fices not fixed by this Constitution
shall never exceed two (2) years,
except that the elected officials of a
city that has adopted and amended
its Charter as provided in Section 5.
Article XI of the Constitution of
Texas may, by amendment to such
city’s charter, hold office nat to ex-
ceed four (4) years; provided, that
when a Railroad Commission is cre-
ated by law it shall be composed of
three (3) Commissioners who shall
be elected by the people at a general
election for State officers, and their
term of office shall be six (6) years;
provided, Railroad Commissioners
first elected after this Amendment
goes into effect shall hold office as
follows: One shall serve two (2)
years, and one four (4) years and
one six (6) years; their terms to be
decided by lot immediately after they
shall have qualified. And one RaiL
road Commissioner shall be elected
every two (2) years thereafter. In
case of vacancy in said office the
Governor of the State shall fill said
vacancy by appointment until the
next General Election.”
Section 2. The foregoing Constitu-
tional Amendment shall be submitted
to the qualified electors of the State
on the next General election to be
held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, 1934, at
which election all voters favoring
such proposed hmendment shall
write or have printed on their bal-
lot the words, “For the Amendment
to the Constitution of the State of
Texas permitting Home Rule Cities
to so amend their charters that the
elected officials of such cities may
hold office nat to exceed four (4)
years,” and those opposed shall write
or have printed on their ballots the
words, “Against the Amendment to
the Constitution of the State of Tex-
as permitting Home Rule Cities to so
amend their charters that the elect-
ed officials of such cities may hold
office not to exceed four (4)
years.”

Ihere are in Celina two or three
\acant- residences surrounded by dry
grass that may prove to be the source
of a destructive fire, if something
is not done about it. In case of fir<
from these hazards there would h
destruction of property and inerea^t
m the cost of fire insurance. If fht
owners of this property are uncon-
cerned about their own property, they
should as a means of protection of
the property of neighbors take some
precautions. /
HIS SENTIMENTS
R. T. Peterman brought the fol-
lowing clipping to the Record office
and asked publication. He says he
feels about the matter discussed just
as does the author of this clipping,
which is from a Tennessee paper:
“During a long life certain persons
have been so unfair and unreasonable
with me I am not able to forgive
them; I can not again trust or as-
sociate with them.
“I have adopted this policy as the
easiest and best way. If I had oppor-
tunity to punish them, I should not
do so. I do not talk about them, or
think of them when I can help it.
“I believe in all decency, but this
is the best I can do with my enemies.
Any suggestion that I love them is
plainly silly to me; I cannot so much
as forgive them. The best I can do
is to let them alone.”

tioned as a leading possibility for

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
NO. 30
Speaking in San Antonio July 12,
Mr. Small said: “This candidate
(Hunter) wants to set up a cabinet
and have all state officials appoint-
ed instead of elected. He doesn’t want
you people to have any more to do
with it, but wants a cabinet he can
control, like Hitler in Germany. He
would be a despot, if such a thing
went through. No wonder there is a
feeling that this country is going
Red. I don’t think so. I have confi-
dence in the people. I don’t think it
will go either Red or All-Red.”
When Mr. Small was looking for
votes he was in deadly fear of a
despotism. Now he apparently be-
lieves he would rather live under a
despotic Hunter than under Mr. All-
red in any form of government. Or
perhaps he didn’t stop to think at
all, but just played the kind of cheap
politics that is making a silly mess
of the whole political structure of
Texas.—Fort Worth Press.
