Mayor C. E. Henry has received a
statement from T. M. Scott, Secretary
of the State Fixe Insurance Commis-
"S sion, showing the amount of savings
to the people of Aransas Pass, due to
the “Good Fire Record Credit,” and
the 15 per cent reduction under
Amendment No. Ill, to thte General
Basis Schedules, which reduction be-
came effective February 1, 1921. The
15 per cent reduction, as set forth in
, Amendment No. Ill, applies to the fol-
lowing classes:
First—Dwellings and furniture, ow-
ner, frame.
Second^—Dwellings and furniture,
tenant, frame.
Third—Dwellings and furniture,
owner, brick.
Fourth—Dwellings, and; furniture,
tenant, brick.
Fifth- Barns, stables and outhouses.,
private.
Sixth - Automobile garages, private.
The reduction of 15 per cent refer-
ved to above, applies to either or all
of these classes, 1 to 6 inclusive,
wherever located, whether it be in
City, town, village or on the farm,
or within or without the corporate
limits of such city or town. The
"Good Fire Record Credit” is, in a
sense a contingent credit and can on-
ly be allowed by the department to
those cities and towns that are able
to qualify under the rule permitting
the department to grant it. This cred-
it is based upon the loss ratio of the
City or town for the three years pre-

ceeding the calender year during
which the statement is filed with the
State Fire Insurance Commission
For each 5:per cent or fraction there-
of that the loses sustained by fires
are less than 55 per cent of the prem-
iums received a credit of 3 per cent
will be allowed, with a maximum cred-
it of 15 per cent.
The total amount of savings over
the entire state for the year 1921, to
the insuring public, under Amendment
No. Ill, covering the six classes above
outlined, will amount to approximately
$1,232,095.98.
The Having to Aransas Pass 'uniter
the “Good Fire Record Credit” for the
year 1921, amounts to $1,237.25, wMle
tiie savings, due to the 15 per pent ad-
duction on the dwelling classes, 1 to 6
inclusive, an enumerated in Amend-
ment,No. Ill, would amount to .$370.18,
or a total saving under both red u ptions
of, approximately, $1,601.43,
"If the premiums received, by the
companies are not sufficient to pay
the loses and expenses and permit
them to earn a reasonable per cent
profit for their services,” says Mr.
Scott, “they must accept either one of
two alternatives—refuse to write such
a class, or increase the rates suffi-
ciently to enable thorn to pay the
losses, expenses, and have a little
left for their trouble.
"Proper fire protection and fire pre-
vention, practically applied by every
citizen, without fear or favor, are
two of the most essential methods to
bring about a reduction in fire insur
ance rates.”

JOHN SIGMUND, President
Railroad Commissioner Earle B.
Mayfield, announcing his candidacy
for the United States gen ate, subject
to the action of the Democratic July
primaries next year, lays stress upon
the transportation proh.oin now con-
fronting the State and insists that the
State shall have power to fix and reg-
ulate rants on purely intrastate com-
merce. In this connecf,on he takes
strong ground against further en-
croachment by the Federal government
through the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission upon the rights of the States.
"If my candidacy for the United
States Senate means anything at all,”
declares Mr. Mayfield, “it means a
fight for the constitutional rights of
the people of Texas. It is the peoples
battle that I shall wage to determine
whether they are willing to surrender
their rights to regulate the railroads
wholly within their State. To do so
means that eleven men sitting in Wash-
ington shall have the power over the
entire commerce of the United
States which, in my opinion, is contra-
ry to the spirit of our institutions and
destructive of our dual form of govern-
ment.”
“The transportation ' question,” says
Commissioner Mayfield, “is the para-
mount issue in the Senatorial contest
in Texas next year and the candidate
who attempts to side-stop or minimize
the importance of this great question
will not only deserve, but will receive,
the wrath and condemnation of the
people.”
"On account of the intolerable and j
extortionate freight rates placed upon |
our people by the Interstate Commerce j
Commission the commerce of the conn- j
try is paralyzed. • Under regulations
made by the Railroad Commission '
when you shipped a calf that weighed j
150 pounds you paid freight charges j
upon the actual weight of the calf but j
now under regulations of the Interstate
Commerce Commission the shipper
must pay freight charges on a mini-
mum weight of 3,000 pounds. The
rate on wheat from South America to
New York is 12 cents a bushel, while
from Minneapolis to New York the
rate is 38 cents a bushel. Cotton seed
cake can ,be shipped from Texas to
Holland cheaper th/an from Texas to
Kansas City. A farmer shipped a car
of cabbage from Harlingen, Texas, to
Hastings, Nebraska; he received $75.00
for the cabbage, while the freight
charges were $425.00. Ricev farmers
around Beaumont, Texas, can ship rice
from Beaumont, to Rotterdam, Hol-
land, for 25 cents per hundred pounds
and from Rotterdam, Holland, hack to
New York for 30 cents per hundred
pounds, making a total charge of 55
cents, while the rail rate on rice from
Beaumont to New York is $1.02 per
hundred pounds. The freight rate per
hundred pounds on cotton from Texas
common points to Galveston, a distance
of 300 miles, is 95 cents, while the
same cotton can be transported from
Galveston to Manchester, England, a
distance of 1764 miles upon a rate of
50 cents. When these excessive and
extortionate freight rates were made,
cotton was selling for 38 cents a pound
and wheat was bringing' over $2.50 a
bushel and other commodities in pro-
portion,but now that we have pre war,
prices on all of. these eommodifns, j
there • is - no 'excuse-'Whatever to main-1
tain the highest freight rates known in
the history of the country. The man
who is hit the hardest is the farmer.
He is America’s greatest freight payer.
He pays freight both ways. He catches
it coming and going. It costs him more
to ship his products from the middle
West to the East than it does to bring
the same product here from foreign
countries. We will continue to have
big business stagnation throughout the
country nntil the commerce is permit-
ted to move and the commerce can
never move until these intolerable
freight rates are reduced.
“My candidacy for the United States
Senate,” declares Commissioner May-,
field, “stands for the preservation of
the life of the Texas Railroad Gom-
mision. For ten years the people of
Texas have honored me with a place
upon the Commission and I feel that
it is my duty to go out and make fight
for the life^of the Commision, espec-
ially when the Interstate Commer -e
Commission is undertaking to strangle
it to death. The rate-making power
which the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission is now exercising is conferred
upon it by Congress. The only way
that the peor>le of Texas and other
States can get relief is to send men
to the Senate and Congress who will
make a fight for the rights of the
people nod repeal every vestige of the
law which confers upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission the power to
nullify our State statutes and to rob
States Commission of their power to
make rates and to regulate purely in-
trastate commerce.”
Why do merchants advertise?
It is not because they do not
realize that everybody in their
community knows them and
what their lines of goods are.
It is not that they know that
their friends are aware that
they are doing business. That
has nothing to do with it. The
fact that a man or woman has
a store for the sale of certain
lines of goods does not by any
means mean that they will be
successful. Everyone in the
community may be aware of the
fact, and they are also aware
that there are others in the
same lines of business. The fact
is that advertising creates busi-
ness. It creates a demand for
the merchandise that the mer-
chant has upon his shelves. A
persoii may walk into a store a
dozen times and come out with-
out inquiring for various articles
that could be bad for the asking.
The merchant knows that to be
a faci, and that is why he adver-
tises. in his local paper. He
knows that paper goes into prac-
tically every home,in the com-
munity, and he knows that by
advertising his goods the people
will go to the store to buy what
they see advertised. Advertis-
ing creates demand.
Young ladies who desire red cheeks
may obtain them much cheaper over
the kitchen stove than at the rouge
counter at the drug store.
There is a lot of hope for the man
who says about a new idea that is pro-
posed to him, “I don’t believe it
and then goes home and tries it out.

with each rain is washed! nice and clean.

Nothing is too good for Camels,
possible to make a cigarette.
Camel QUALITY is always maintained at the same high,
exclusive standard. You can always depend on the same
mellow-mild refreshing smoothness—the taste and rich
flavor of choicest tobaccos — and entire freedom from
cigaretty aftertaste.
And remember this! Camels come in one size package
only—20 cigarettes—just the right size to make the greatest
saving in production and packing. This saving goes
straight into Camel Quality. That's one reason why you
can get Camel Quality at so moderate a price.
Here's another. We put no useless
frills on the Camel package. No “extra
wrappers!" Nothing just for show!
Such things do not improve the smoke
any more than premiums or coupons. And
their added cost must go onto the price
or come out of the quality.
One thing, and only one, is responsible
for Camels great and growing popularity
—that is CAMEL QUALITY.
