tion when that was launched. 1986. He did
so, but not without knowing he was taking
over a very large proposition. Subsequent
events proved that it was even bigger than
he had anticipated, yet he( worked right on.
The result? Just another Olmsted achieve-
ment,, for the exposition has never been
beaten by any city in the South. It caused
the whole civilized world to take notice. And,
_ .when it was derided to carry the exposition
on for another year they again asked him -to
take up where he left off. Their requests
were numerous and sincere, but Mr. Olm-
r sted stepped aside saying he had done his
best on the first effort and did n6t care to
try the work again. He asked that they get
another man. which they did. and the result
of the second year i* fresh in the minds of
the people in the whole country,
Mr. Olmsled was the head of thq. large
paper house in Dallas known as the Olmsted-
Kirk Co., and thousands of printers will re-
member with a great deal'of pleasure JiiSL
fair- dealings, gonerous support and wood
merchandise, which he carried in all ihree
cf his houses—Dallas. Fort Worth and Waco.
Personally. The Stamford Leader -feels
keenly the loss of so good a friend, such a
co-operating hian as Harry Olmsted. He was
a rich man, but he never got to where he
could not stop and listen to the call of those
less fori ana tein life’s goods. His hand went
out to them, not-empty, but all he helped
were made to know they had met a man who
was a man in the truest sertselof the term.
Mr. Olmsted is survived by his widow and
sen. Robert Olmsted, who is and has been
for a number of years, one of the chief exec-
utives of the business, located at the horns
J office. Dallas.
Men like Harry Olmsted are hard to find
■ and harder to replace in this life.
HIS NEXT MOVE
The big guys ih the big places are wonder-
ing what next that bad guy ovsr there in
Germany is ^omg to do: Yet, most of them
know what he is going to try to do—invade
England by the quickest route, the most ef-
fective route and the most murderous route.
He really seerr^ .♦‘n think everything will

that he is waiting for good weather to jlo

Abilene Reporter-News, March 7.
The bill setting up a new non-political
regulatory body for oil and gas has cleared
its first hurdle in the lower house at Austin.]
The committee on state affairs reported the
bill favorably,. 8 to’ll, after hearing testi-
mony pro arvi con. . 1
IVopomnts insisted'that the three-man
oil and gas commission which would be ap-
pointed by the governor would remove this
vital work from the field of politics and place
it in the hands of men qualified by exper-
ience and merit, rather than by vote-getting
ability.
Opj>onents praised the work of the rail-
road commission in handling oil and gas reg-
ulations, which is beside the pointy even if
true. The point is that oil and gas regulation
i** a matter for trained aqd efficient men, riot
for politicians. Matters so vitally affecting
the welfare of Texas should be ’divorced ab-
solutely from politics.
The work of the railroad commission in
reccn,t years has grown to such proportions'
that even the wisest ahd most indefatigable'
of men would be unable to do it justice. Most
of this.work has been created by the tremen-’
dous task, of regulating oil and gas produc-
tion. When the commissions and their ap-
pointees must spend a considerable portion
of their time dabbling in politics in order to
held their jobs, the work of the commission
