Power Companies Fight Reg
ulation; Kleburg Opposes
Including Natural Gas
AUSTIN, May The sen
ate committee on state affairs and j
the house committee on municipal i
and private corporations utilized j
more time last night without con
cluding its hearing on the public j
utilities regulatory bill.
R. M. Kleburg of Corpus Christi,
past president of the Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers asso- j
elation, and Dayton Moses general
counsel for that organization, op
posed the inclusion of natural gas
as one of the utilities to be regu
lated.
Moses, who said he was speaking |
for a class of people which was ,
the largest potential gas-develop- j
ing group in Texas, contended reg- I
ulation would hamper development
of that commodity.
Mayor Joseph * F. Nichols of
Greenville asserted he was not in- :
terested either way in the regula
tion of the utilities, but he was
opposed to an amendment which
he said would be offered forcing
municipalities to purchase exist-1
ing facilities before installing a
municipal system.
E. B. Neiswanger of San An
tonio. president of the Central
Power and Light company, and
George Carter of Marlin, repre
senting the Texas Utilities com
pany. attacked portions of the
proposed law. They were partic
ularly opposed to those parts ex
empting municipally owned plants
from the operation of the proposed
law and giving the state commis
sion only appellate Jurisdiction in
home rule cities.
AUSTIN. May 7.—<JP>—’Telephone,
telegraph and bus line Interests
last night appeared before the
house revenue and taxation com
mittee to protest a revenue-raising
bill by Rep. T. N. Mauritz. Ganado.
placing an intangible tax on all
business organizations enjoying the
right of eminent domain.
Under the present intangible tax
law only railoads and bridge com
panies are taxed on their intan
gible values, representing bonds,
good will and other non-physical
assets. •
Nelson Phillips. Dallas, general
counselor for the Southwestern
Bell Telephone company, said his
organization was opposed to the
Mauritz bill because it would place
a dual tax on the company, which
now is taxed on its gross receipts.
He said the company already was
paying *2 600.000 annually in fed
eral and state taxes on its Texas
properties.

FELT BY YOUTH
Gay youth felt the opening
guns of Corporation Judge A. A.
Browne's war on open cut-outs,
by passes, horns and other nui
sances Monday afternoon when
he fined two boys for disturb
ing the peace early Sunday
morning with various and sundry
back fires, pops and splutters.
After severely reprimanding
the youths for their activities.
Judge Browne issued orders to
the police that all violators of
the ordinance covering the sub
ject be arrested and brought be
fore him. The judge declared
that complaints on this score
have been becoming more and
more numerous for some time
and that it is now time to call
a halt. He is prepared to exact
the maximum penalty, he de
clared.
Complaints usually come in the
late portion of the night from
residents jrho declare they can
not sleep for the racket and roar
of the revelers.
One other youth was fined $10
on a charge of drunkenness and
another assessed a penalty of $10
on a charge of prolwing at the
session of the corporation court.

Former Sheriff
Now Feeling 20
Yeads Younger
—
“I am 63 years old. Take a man
my age, down and out physically,
and let hirt find some medicine
that puts him on his feet, feeling 20
years younger, like Sargon did me.
HENRY C. KINO
and he is going to tell about it”
said Henry C. King. 2112 West 11th
St.. Oklahoma City, an “old timer"
who for 50 years as cattleman and
deputy sheriff has maintained a
reputation as a “straight shooter."
“I drove rattle 50 years ago over
the old Chisholm Trail from Texas
to Dodge City, ’sleeping out' five
solid years. Then, the boys made
me a deputy sheriff. I was a pretty
good man physically
“When I saw myself begin to get
old and puny a few years ago. I was
really ashamed. I began to try
nearly every medicine I ever heard
of to get me straight but I couldn't
get anything to do me any lasting
good.
"Then. I tried Sargon. and it soon
had me feeling twenty years young
er! Today, two months since I
quit taking Sargon I feel just as
good. A friend met me the other
day and said “why Henry, some
body told me you had been sick. He
must have been mistaken. I never
saw you looking better."
"We old timers learned to help one
another so I want people to know
what Sargon did for me. I couldn't
digest anything I at*, my skin was
y*llow and spotted, and I was so
weak that when I lay down I didn't
care whether I got up or not. I
never had a natural action of my
bowels, and had to get up all dur
ing the night on account of my kid
neys.
“Sargon made me gain fourteen
pounds. I eat more and digest it
with no trouble; my kidneys have
stopped bothering me and my
bowels are regular as clockwork;
and mind you it has been two
months since I quit taking it.”
Sargon may be obtained in
Brownsville from Cisneros Drug
Stores; in La Feria from Malone
Pharmacy; in San Benito from
Palace Pharmacy ; in Los Fresnos
from Butler Drug Co., and in Rio
Hondo from Rio Hondo Drug Store.
