Tax Exemption For Factories.

There are hundreds of Texas
towns ambitious to have factories
and which are admirably adapted
tt such enterprises. They have
close at hand abundant raw ma
terial, cheap fuel and plenty of
labor, and with these facts known
to the manufacturers of the east,
there can be no doubt but that an
influx of manufacturing capital
would result. If, in addition to
the above inducements, there
could be offered an exemption
from taxation for number of
years, as has been done at one
time or another in almost every
State in the Union, investors
would come all the more readily,
because such n policy would in
dictate that Texas is sincere IN it's
desire for factories and is willing
TO prove its faith by its works.
1t is wei. enough to extend a
hearty welcome TO prospective in
yestors, but when this welcome is
backed up by something more sub
stantial than words, it is more
apt to bring about the desired eff
feet. Texas is feeling more keen
ly than ever the necessity of man
ufacturlng its own raw material
within its own confines, and are
not only willing but also eager to
offer every reasonable inducement
to that end. If the coming leg
lslature will submit an amend
ment to the constitution provid-
ing that any town or county can
by vote, grant tax exemption for
a period of years to manufacture
ing enterprises, there can be no
doubt but that the people will
readily adopt the same.

Base Ball Boys 90 Fishing.

The base ball team went fishing
last Friday. Now don't ask The
Press what they caught for it has
repeatedly sought to obtain that
information that its readers
might know, but each one of the
crowd tells different story. All
of their narratives agree however
in one particular, that is, that
they didn't go hungry for fish.
Hal Lawson led the gang Others
in the crowd were Yves Gage,
Mills, Dickson, Joe Conner. John
Cobb and Bushyhead and it was a
merry gang. You know what
careful ball players they are, well
they make equally as good fisher
men. The Press man is going to
be self invited guest on their
next trip if some one of them
don't "say something"
