WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH
TEXAS?
Fred Horton of the Greenville Ban-
ner has some decided ideas as to
what is the matter with Tqxas.
Here they are:
First and foremost, the answer is
too many politicians, too many of-
ficeseekers, and too few workers in
the field of agriculture. Too many
boards and commissions to render
service for other men; too many taxes
and consequent waste of
monies; too many courts and too
much uncertainty as to what the
law may he or is and attendant delay

Gibbons of Paris, supervisor of the

the first of April, and will require
about thirty days to complete.
The county has been divided into
fourteen districts by the Bureau of
the Census at Washington, and the
limits definitely dofined. The city
of Mt. Pleasant comprises two dis-

Worse than all else, perhaps, is the
lack of sound business experience and
ripe judgment in administration of
the state government; men are chosen
to office because of this whim, that
prejudice, or other personal jealousy
and spend most of their days in of-
fice planning to keep some other fel-
low out. A needed and salutary
remedy at this time would be for the
people to cut loose from following
after men who seek only to fan the
flames of prejudice and hatred for
some other man, come together to
the support of some clean and up-
right man with a vision of con-
structive and helpful service to the
state and people.—‘Ex.

Awards for hihgway work, announ-
ced by the Highway Commission at
Austin Tuesday gave the contract
for surfacing 8.8 miles of road on -
Highway One in Titus County from
one mile west of Mt. Pleasant to the
Franklin County line to Maney &
Allen of Oklahoma City. This is to
be a double bituminous sm’face job,
at a cost of $16,941.
. , , Highway One also received an
award for the surfacing 5.1 miles in
Bowie County from 1.5 miles east of
to two miles east of Maud
at a cost of $9,744. The total ap-!
propriations on Highway One amount-
the regisnation of S. H. Terrell and
will take effect as soon as the Sen-
ate acts on it.

sessor of Nolan County and recently
was offered the secretaryship of the
