terest in the ,work of her church.

husband and one daughter, Miss Al-
lah Reeves, and also a sister, Mrs.
R. B. Senterfitt of this city. Many
friends here sympathize with the be-
reaved ones I in the loss of their loved
one. Funeral services will be con-
ducted Saturday in Fort Worth.
SENATE ADOPTS BEER
RESOLUTION
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—With
five votes to spare, the senate this
afternoon dispatched to the house
with its indorsement the Blaine res-
olution for prohibition repeal.
The count was 63 to 23, and at
once Speaker Garner reiterated the
other congressional branch on Mon-
day would speed the resolution to the
states for ratification. It does not go
to the White House. Thirty-six
states must approve it within seven
years to change the 13-year-old na-
tional dry law.
Advocates of the legislation were
exultant over the margin by which
the required two-thirds vote was ex-
ceeded in the tensely expectant and
crowded senate chamber.
The roll call showed 33 democrats
and 29 republicans and the lone Far-
mer-Labor member favoring submis-
sion, with 4 republicans and nine
democrats opposed.
LEGISLATORS IN FIST FIGHT
AUSTIN, Feb. 16.—A hearing be-
fore the committee on municipal and
private corporations of the Texas
house of representatives on bills af-
fecting public utility regulation was
marked by brief personal combat be-
tween Representatives Dennis Ratliff
of Haskell and Joe Greathouse of
Fort Worth late today.
Ratliff resented a statement by
Greathouse and struck the Fort Worth
man. Greathouse in turn struck Rat-
liff, but they were separated before
they could indulge in further hostil-
ities.
Both later apologized to the com-
mittee and to each other for the
flare-up. i
The committee voted 13 to 4 in
favor of general regulation of public
utilities rather than the regulation of
utilities singly.

PENNEY’S
LARGE CROWD ATTENDED
C. OF C. BANQUET
The furteenth annual banquet of
the Lampasas Chamber of Commerce
was held Thursday evening, Feb. 16
in the auditorium of the city hall and
a large crowd gathered to hear the
program that was presented. The
banquet was prepared and served by
the Home Economics class of the high
school, under the direction of Miss
Elizabeth Tompkins. The class de-
serves special mention for the excel-
lent menu and the manner in which
the young ladies served it.
E. M. Pharr, president of the Cham-
ber of Commerce, acted as toastmas-
ter for the evening and called on Rev.
J. Virgil Davis, pastor of the Meth-
odist Church, to give the invocation
and the guests were then seated and
the banquet served.
A very(enjoyable part of the even-
ing’s program was the music render-
ed by “Hokum Heralds,” a local talent
orchestra. The music was good and
well received by the listeners.
Miss Helen Northington rendered
two beautiful piano numbers and she
was followed on the program by Fred
Wolf who gave the secretary’s annual
report. Mr. Wolf showed how the
money had been spent during the past
year by the organization and when it
is all summed up there are many
worth while accomplishments that are
to its credit.
Mrs. Raymond Barber gave two
vocal numbers that were well receiv-
ed by her listeners as evidenced by
the hearty applause. She has a good
voice and has appeared at numerous
times before the Lampasas people.
The principal speaker on the even-
ing’s program was Dr. Thos H. Tay-
lor, president of Howard Payne Col-
lege. Dr. Taylor is a fine speaker and
has plenty of humor along with his
remarks and holds the closest atten-
tion of his listeners. His talk con-
cerned the “quacks” of different na-
ture that have advanced ideas of how
to get us out of the present financial
troubles that are today confronting
the whole world. After analyzing
their suggestions it seems that we
are really in no trouble at all if we
will only get to work and try to help
ourselves.
Supt. Charles Wachendorfer spoke
on the activities of other organiza-
tions in Lampasas. He had figures
to show what the different organiza-
tions had accomplished for the bet-
terment of conditions in and around
Lampasas in the past few months.
The different organizations are work-
ing together and in harmony at all
times.
Roy L. Walker made a good talk
and used as his subject, “Why a
Chamber of Commerce?” Mr. Wal-
ker was one of the organizers of the
present chamber and knows what it
means to have such an organization
working for the town and its trade
territory. He also stressed the great
importance of all of Lampasas adopt-
ing a buy-at-home slogan and in that
way keep Lampasas money where it
will be in circulation and do more
good. Following the address of Mr.
Walker the^ benediction was given by
Rev. Lawrence Williams.

ABOUT THE SALES TAX
At the annual banquet of the ..Lam-
pasas Chamber of Commerce Thurs-
day night, a vote of those present
(around 300 persons who knew what
they were voting on) was called for
on the proposed sales tax that is be-
fore the present legislature, and the
result was practically unanimous
against it. This is one of the most
drastic pieces of legislation that has
ever been proposed on an already
over burdened tax paying public, in
that it proposes a sales tax from 3
to 9 per cent which is passed on to
the consumer. In other words Jones
pays the freight.
Write your state senator and rep-
resentative and protest against it.
We are told that these requests will
go to the waste basket, but this is
not time. Your state senator is John
W. Hornsby, Senate Chamber, Aus-
tin, Texas. Your representative is
W. V. Dean, House of Representa-
tives, Austin, Texas. Write and sug-
gest to them to put this tax on such
things as picture shows, and not on
the necessities of- life.—Tax Payer.
