Wichita falls ought to dispel this idea but l
think that more could be hald in tavor ot
It than that It can not In an > way atteit
the State at large An a practical rxainplo
to the Mate it will mean a great leal l lit
amendment onli proposes lo give tn lanu
owner in the counties ot Archer Baylor
Clay Knox and Wkblta an opportunity to
saj whether or not they desire to have such
an inigatlon district organized and then a
twothlror vote of thoto land owners whoso

such n district can be formed snould tno

tho plan is a good one
In Southern and Southeastern levat more

While having uot tho slightest personal in-
