HAILEY ISSUE PRECIPITATED IN THE HOUSE Resolution Inviting Him to Ad dress Body Brings Forth Caustic Comment. NO ROLL CALL ON VOTE. Finally Decided to Inyite Him as Well as Unsuccessful Candidates foT Gov. Special Diapatch. Austin, Tex., Aug. 5. —The Bailey question almost precipitated a riot of words in the house this morning when Canales introduced a resolution invit ing the senator to address house Friday night, August 12, at 8:30, and Hamilton offered an amendment in cluding Cone Johnson in the fame in vitation. A motion to table the amend ment then prevailed. 62 to 47. Debate on the original resolution brought forth some caustic comment and a strong sentiment against giving Bailey the opportunity to "roast'” of the legislature developed. Terrell of Cherokee argued against the resolution and stated that tie was not in favor of injecting the Bailey ‘s sue into the present session, but was for peace. Bell of Cherokee was more emphatic and said it was almost an insult to ask Bailey to appear before the legislature. “He has used language in speaking of members of this house,” said Bell, "which if one member used to another would cause a fight.” Will Be Till He Dies. Hill of Denton spoke in favor of the resolution and said: "He is our United States senator, and, boys, you might as well reconcile yourselves, he will be until he dies. It is only proper we invite him.” On the vote, which was not by roll call, it was decided to invite Bailey and also to ask Cone Johnson to speak Au gust 15; R. V. Davidson. August 16; J. Martin Jones, August 17. and Poindex ter on a date convenient to him. Bailey’s topic will be "Modern De mocracy. ’ ’ TIFT COMMUTES OFFICER'S SENTENCE Captain Hand of Field Artillery Will Not be Dismissed From the Army. Associated Freis.

CHICAGO GETS MONEY’S WORTH Comptroller Compiles Statis tics Showing This to be More Than True. TAXES LOW, SERVICE GOOD Average Family Pays $61.12 and Receives Service Cost ing $172.02 In Return. Associated Press. Chicago, 111., Aug. s.—ln support of his contention that a family can live in Chicago at a smaller public expense than in any other large city of Amer ica, City Comptroller Wilson yesterday issued many columns of figures, show ing that the average property owner in Chicago gets services costing more thin 300 per cent of the annual taxes paid by him. ' For his average property owner, he selected a man awning a $3OOO resi dence and having a wife and three chil dren. He estimated the real estate tax at $46.10 and the water tax at $7.65, a total of $53.75, adding a possible per sonal property tax of $7.37, giving a total of $61.12. For this he held the family would receive service costing $172.02, and if the county,.state and similar services be included Im estimat ed the total benefits at $195.25. In his basis for calculation Mr. Wil son considered the population of the citv as 2,500,000 and used the assessed valuation of the property and the total product from taxation as the basis for .fixing the tax rate at $4.61 per $lOO, upon which he reached the total of tax ation in his hypothetical case. His estimate of the-cost of services furnished was based on the property owners’ share in the various forms of governmental operation, itemized in part as follows: Police protection, $11.80; fire protection, $6; health pro tection, $1.10; removal of garbage, $2.85; cleaning and 'repairing streets, etc., $3.25; maintenance of house of correction, municipal courts, etc., $2.15; operation and improvements of water works, $10.10; public library, 70 cents; schools (each child $37.39), $112.17; benefit of parks nnfl boulevards, $9.25.

Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 5. —While Chairman Robertson of the regular state democratic headquarters here, lias given out no statement today, leaders of his, the Patterson faction, practi cally admit the independent judiciary ticket carried the state by 25,000 ma jority. Chairman Vertrees, in an unofficial statement this morning, said he saw no reason for changing ttie forecast made several .lays ago of a majority of 40,- 090 in the state for th* independents. Other independent leaders place the vote as high as 50,000 votes. Returns from outlying counties are coming in slowly and it will be several days be fore the exact figures can be given.
