a campaign to correct the abuse. It
is a sizable sum, representing a mulc-
ting of the public which the state
rightly uses its power to stop.
But automobile owners of Texas are
being mulcted of much greater sums
by the State itself. When the gaso-
line tax was raised, opposition to the
step \vas allayed by repeated assur-
ances that the State license fee would
(be reduced. Automobile owners have
a righteous feeling of betrayal when
they find that the^-are now • being
compelled to pay a double heavy tax
cm operation of their cars in addition
to the ordinary tax on possession
which is- accounted for by the State,
county and city ad valorem levies.
The sole reason why automobiles
are so heavily taxed is that such tax-
es are easily collected and, in the
past, effective protest against imposi-
tion has n6t been forthcoming. But
no longer is the automobile a luxury
of only the well-to-do. yhe average
jj| ! citizen, the average voter, and the ar
jl ! erage automobile owner are now one
Pf land the same person*- The power to
Correct abuses lies to his hand in the
ballot.—Ft. Worth Star-Telegram.

FUTURE OF THE SMALL PLANT
From the Kansals City Star.
In this day of consolidation the fate
of the small plant is by no means
! sealed, according to E. W. McCul-
| lough, manager of the department of
manufacture of the Chamber of Com-
merce of the United States. The
present industrial law, he finds, is
not the survival of the biggest, but
the survival of the fittest..............
“Much is being written today,”
said Mr. McCullough in an address
| before the ChamberSburgh, Pa.,

with refer-
ence to the passing’ of the small plant
because all abotrt us we see gigantic
consolidations being formed in practi-
cally all lines which lend'themselves
to mass production.
I “Single units in certain lines have-
j,grown to such an extent that indus-
tries employing - formerly r 500 men
jnow not infrequently employ from
5,000 to 10.000 men. However, I do
not think that the day of the -ainail
or mepliuin sized plant which is keep-
ing step „with the times*,, especially
with what is going, on in. its particular
industry, is passing, or will pass, .but
the" time has come when the making
of good goods and selling them in
markets scattered throughout the
country is undoubtedly being put so
severe * test.

“L believe we have yet to prove “tF it
' i these gigantic mass production.plan s,
the equipment of which is designed to
take care of immense production, and
which are for that reason inflexible,
will in the long-run meet economically
the varying trade conditions which
are likely to occur from year to year.”

<rlhe Low Cost of Electricity]
The hod carrier i3 as obsolete as the Dodo. His son operates an electric hoist.
The human being can not sell muscular power in cbmpetition with a machine, tl is
stupid, it is wasteful, it 'is uneeonomcal. No man, woman or child an afford to do
drudgerythat. electrical appliances and energy can do for a few cents on hpur.
Te cost of food, selter and doting as nearly, doubled in tjie past ten years—
electricity actually costs less. Why ? The lower costs are due to increase in consump-
ion of electrical power, new inventions and improvements in generation,-improved ef-
ficiency in management of power companies.
Electricity is probably the lowest item in your household budget. The national
"average is less than a thin dime a day. It service is invaluable. • The more you se, the
greater your gain.
