A Filibuster That Failed
A filibuster that failed was launched against the
Senate bill providing for a four-cent gasoline tax and
a 50 per cent cut in motor license fees. Filibusters
failed to break the senate quorum in a session that
lasted until the early hours of Sunday morning, which
made possible the enactment of the bill—a substitute
for a house bill that provided for a four-cent gasoline
* tax and a 35 per cent reduction in motor license fees.
Highways must be built.
Texas must be in the lead.
It costs huge sums of money to give the people
fcodern public roads.
A bond issue was defeated by the lawmakers.
The next best thing was a four-cent gasoline tax.
For eight years the representatives of the oil com
panies in Texas fought the imposition of a four-cent
gallonage tax. According to the records in other years
they made their last stand in the upper house and
they won. . . ...
They made their last stand in the upper house this
year and they lost. , _
There is going to be a real campaign in Texa
next year. There will be 16 senators elected. There
will be 150 representatives. Men and women of Texas
who believe in economic reform and the forward
movement of their state should see to it that con
structive men are sent to the senate and the house
and that a constructive program is thrashed out in
the campaign before the primary nominations are
made.
It is vastly more important to the people of Texas
to become active participants in a campaign and a
primary election that will place constructive men in
senate and house than it is in the personnel of the
delegation sent from Texas to Washington to assist in
the enactment of federal laws.
Texas has vast natural resources. Texas has great
fields of petroleum. Texas has natural gas fields that
are the w’onder of the world. Texas has beds of lig
nite. Texas has vast deposits of sulphur and salt.
There are rich fields of phosphate undeveloped. Thdre
are vast forests of timber.
All these are natural resources.
Why should Individuals reap golden harvests and
the thousands of taxpayers of the state be reminded
every two years that the state is poverty-stricken and
that It is almost impossible to wrest from the pockets
of the makers of wealth the sums,necessary for the
maintenance of department of government including
the institutions of higher education and the public
schools?
Story of a New England Town
Raymond V. McNamara of Haverhill, Mass., is a
shoe manufacturer. He appeared before the senate
tariff making committee. He predicted the woman
shoe industry in the United States would be defunct
in 10 years unless an adequate tariff was placed on
footwear now on the free list. He had the figures to
show that import largely from Central European
countries are increasing at an alarming rate. This is
the story he placed in the record relative to the decay
of a New England town:
Haverhill factories are operating far below capac
ity, the population has fallen off 8000 in eight years,
1700 tenements are vacant, 20 plants were forced to
liquidate last year and 8000 workers are now on strike
for a 10 per cent wage increase and five days a week.
Why should shoes be on the free list? Why hides on
*he free list? Why petroleum crude on the free list?
National Origins Quota
Functioning
There is a new federal immigration act. It pro
tides the contribution each individual nation has
made to the population of the United States becomes
the yard stick by which future immigration will be
regulated instead of a c^uota allowance based upon the
1890 census. Under the law repealed, the total im
migrations permitted annually is approximately 164,
667, while the national origins plan will admit about
153,714.
Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which have
been permitted 34,007 immigrants annually, will be
allowed 65,721 undlr the new law, while Germany,
which has been allowed a quota of 51,227, can now
send only 25,957 into the United States. The Irish
Free State has been permitted 28,567 each year and
now will be limited to 17,853.
Norway and Sweden and Denmark are great suf
ferers by the application of the national origins quota
Like Germany, they have been hit hard.
To be exact Great Britain and Northern Ireland
will have a quota allowance of 83,574 of the 153,741
immigrants permitted to land from all European
countries including Turkey and Europe.
Pres. Hoover asked for the repeal of the national
origins quota law. Senatorial and house jockeys de
feated his recommendation. Now it is said the op
ponents of the national origins quota will stage an
other battle in the coming month of December when
the machinery of the regular session begins its grind
ing.
‘Why a State Income Tax’
This is the title of a very readable article by Peter
Molyneaux in the Texas Monthly for June. Peter
Molyneaux is the editor of the Texas Monthly. First
he asked the question and then answered it, giving
about a hundred reasons why a state income tax
should not be enacted.
Long before the appearance of* the monthly the
state income tax measure had been put to sleep—by
a close vote in committee. Gov. Moody is for a state
income tax. He would discard the state ad-valorem
tax.
This proposal mustered surprising strength. It Is
certain to bob up again. There will be a special ses
sion held in the wintermonths for consideration of
the report to be submitted by a special commission on
a site for a new prison relocation plant. At the same
time the proposal for public utility control will bob
up again.
There are economic problems involving state su
pervision and taxation which are not dead. They
are sleeping for the summer months.
But back to the Molyneaux article, which is a
biting criticism of the state income tax proposal; this
is the conclusion of the argument;
“In order to relieve the country and city land lords
of all responsibility to support the state government
and dole out a pittance to 39 per cent of the working
farmers of the state, it is proposed practically to dou
ble the taxes of the corporations and some 63,000
families in nine counties of the state.”
All Business Records Broken
A New York financial correspondent lets it be
known that the 1928 and 1929 fiscal year “broke all
existing records for business and industrial prosper
ity.” Incidentally, he lets it be known that in 1928
the country owes its prosperity largely to the farmer
but now the country owes its prosperity to the indus
trialist. There are wires crossed somewhere. Farm
ers ever since the year 1919 and 1920 have been clam
oring for “relief.” Their political leaders have been
clamoring for relief for them. A bloc of senators
have been the engineers of the movement. Are the
farmers to be disappointed?
Demand For Cigar ets
A student of American business affairs and reader
of American business statistics says American tobacco
companies manufacture more than 300,000,000 cigarets
a day. Well, in the good old days before the coming
of the war between the states, snuff dipping and to
bacco chewing provided consumption for vast quan
tities of the American weed. Now who would return
to the good old days? Now the lipstick has the call
and the snuff stick isn’t popular.
Henry Ford Sells His Railroad
Henry Ford has sold his railroad, lock, stock and
barre.l to a New York broker firm. Purchase was
made on behalf of an undisclosed principal. In 1920
the wizard obtained the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton
railroad for a total Investment of $5,000,000 after the
property had been in the hands of the receivers for
30 years. Now the road is said to have a property
value for rate making purposes of $23,061,208. Henry
made it pay. He gave his employes a five-hour work
day. They were not only paid wages above the union
scale but were made actual partners in the under
taking. They were offered certificates in the railroad
which by 1924 were paying an annual interest of 12
per cent. A wizard? Yes. More than a wizard—a
humanitarian and public benefactor.
Sen. George of Georgia
Sen. W. S. George of Georgia is said to be one of
the ablest of democratic statesmen. He is of the mi
nority in the making of the tariff bill. He predicts
that the tariff bill thus far will add to the ills cf the
farmer. Wool growers are to be given a black eye.
George said so. Watch and wait.

GUILD PLANS
FAIR EXHIBIT
Arts and Crafts Group
Makes Plans For En*
larging Scope
HARLINGEN, July 6.—Prelim
inary plans for a large and inter
esting exhibit at the Valley Mid
Winter fair this year were worked
out by members of the Valley Arts
and Crafts Guild, at which the or
ganization decided upon a new
plan of activity in the Valley.
This plan, it was explained, will
result in the organization proving
of much greater benefit to all resi
dents of the Valley, and will help
to bring a greater and more rep
resentative exhibit to the fair every
year.
Meeting at the home of Mrs.
Carrie M. Stuart at Mercedes, the
guild members decided to form lo
cal units in all cities of the Valley.
A director of each local group will
be named, and meetings will be
held every week in these cities, for
the purpose of study and work in
arts and crafts. A leader is to be
picked in each community by the
members there.
This will enable all members to
receive the benefit of study and in
struction in their own cities.
Once every three months all the
groups will assemble together in a
Valley-wide meeting, and work of
the various local organizations will
be compared.
With an entire department re
served for it, the arts exhibit at
the fair this year promises to be
one of the most interesting there.
It will be under the direction of
Miss Mildred Flinn of this city.
Arrangements are already being
made for the exhibit.

"AS I LIVE, SATTH THE LORD
tJEHOVAH,I HAVE HO PLEASURE
IN THE DEATH OF THE WICKED;
BUT THAT THE WICKED TURN
FROM HIS WAy AND LIVE’. Ezekiel 33:11
By DR. ALVIN E. BELL
Inasmuch as our lessons for three
Sundays are planned to cover the
prophesy of Ezekiel it may be well
for this first week to get a “bird’s
eye view” of the entire book. Ac
cordingly, permission is granted to
use the following which is quoted
from the author's book “The Gist
of the Bible Book by Book,” copy
righted by A. E. Bell, Toledo, Ohio.
“As Isaiah is the salesman prophet
of faith and Jeremiah the martyr
prophet of love, Ezekiel is the exile
prophet of hope.
The scene of his entire ministry
was in the Babylonian empire, where
he was carried with the second
group of captives, 11 years before
the captivity was made complete in
the destruction of Jerusalem.
The first 24 chapters of Ezekiel
recount his call and prophecies dur
ing these 11 years, in which he
sought in vain by his numerous par
ables and impersonations to con
vince his fellow-exiles of the com
ing destruction of Jerusalem, and
the righteousness of God’s judgment
in destroying it.
The pageantry of his miniature
siege of Jerusalem represented in
the tile bearing the picture of the
doomed city; the shaving of the pro
phet’s hair and beard and the burn
ing and cutting and casting to the
winds of the three parts of the ham,
symbolizing the fate of the inhabi
tants of the city; the prophet’s
enactment of the part of the fleeing
exile escaping from the hole in the
wall with his few personal effects,
and his bereavement at the sudden
death of his wife, at which he was
commanded not to mourn, are but a
few of the incidents of the prophet’s
ministry which make this book one
of the richest in imagery in the
divine library.
Everywhere as he pronounces the
doom and destruction of Jerusalem
and pictures the horror of it all, the
prophet vindicates the justice of
God in the punishment of the neo
pie for their gross sins of idolatry
and impurity, and repeatedly af
firms the purpose of God, that by
punishment the suffering people may
learn to know him and come to re
pent and be saved. For no phrase
occurs more often in the book than
the words, “And ye shall know that
I am Jehovah.”
But all of this ministry of Ezekiel
fell upon deaf ears. The exiles re
fused to believe that Jerusalem
would fall until one of the refugees
came with the sad news, "The city
is smitten.”
In the meantime the prophet pro
nounced the doom of the seven sur
rounding nations which had op
pressed God’s people, repeately In
dicating the purpose of this judg
ment also in his most farmliar
phrase, “They shall know that I am
Jehovah.” (Chapters 25 to 32).
After the news of the destruction
of Jerusalem reached the exiles
Ezekiel’s ministry met with a more
favorable reception, and from Chap
ter 33 to the end we have his great
gospel of hope in which he pro
phesies the restoration of God’s an
cient people to all their former glory.
(The International Uniform Les
son for July 7, is Ezekiel, 1:1-3;
2:1-3:27; 8:1-4; 11:22-25; 24:15-24;
33:30-33, the subject being “The
Story of Ezekiel 3311, “As I live,
saith the Lord Jehovah. I have no
pleasure in the death of the wicked;
but that the wicked turn from their
way and live.”
