(From Senator Borah's Boston

-Now, II seems to be conceded by

nominated for the presidency whose
experience, whose training and whose
sound and wholesome fashion of grasp

Taft.
ale is not crusader, he is a states
man with conscience. He has won his
present position through a cheerful, un-
hesitating and undertaking devotion to
duty, through actually achieving things

intelligent conception Of the strength
and worth of our great government
with its checks and balances; and the
strength and capacity of our citizen

mo man ever had a deeper regard
for the fundamental principles and pre-
cepts upon which this government is
founded, and no one ever had a frmer
conviction that the constitution Is a
sufficient chart by which to measure all
rights and obligations and to gauge all
the demands and all the aspirations

CONSTITUTIONAL AsHrj bnHNr
Relating to Pubic Schools to be
Voted on November Sd, 1908.

Voted on November Sd, 1908.
The executive committee for
the conference for education in
Brazos county gives the follow
ing reasons for voting for the
amendment to Section B, Article
z, of the state constitution.
/. 1t is right and time hon
ored American principle that a
majority should rule. The amend
ment substitutes a majority rule
for a two-third rule in locaI
school tax elections.
2. The amendment means 10
cal self government in it's pureSt
form, leaving it to majority OF
the resident tax paying, qualified
voters of a school district to say
hen they want a local tax foI
school purposes.
3. A vote for the amendment
is not a vote for a tax. The
amendment only gives the right
for a majority of the property
owning voters of a school district
to levy a tax for school purposes
when they need it. The same
majority could vote the tax of
when they did not need it. Dis.
tricts that do not need a local
tax would not be required to levy
it,,
4 The amendment would op.
en- the way in the country dis
tricts for better school houses,
better and more capable teach
ers, longer school terms where
needed and the establishing of
country high schools. Cities and
incorporated towns are already
clothed with power to provide
for efficient schools. 1t is right
that the rural districts should
enjoy the same privilege upon
like conditions and to the same
extent. By establishing good
rural schools the country child
rem can be educated at home.
which is the greatest school
problem in Texas today.
5. Statistics from the last BIZ
ennial report of the Superintend-
ent of Public instruction of Tex
as shows the following results:
There are 1924 school houses for
white children in the country
districts of Texas in bad condi-
ton. If all the children within
school age were to start TO school
there would not be house room
to hold them. There would be
more than $4,000 without a

ties shall be to exercise general super

At the same meeting the council

ject of which is to obtain immediate

people residing in the rural dis
trlcts have invested in school
houses and grounds only $605
for each child in scholastic age.
livery independent school dis
trict in Texas, except two, has a
school library, while there are
SOL country districts without a
library.
6. The children living in the
country districts are entitled to
just as good educational advant-
ages as children living in cities
and towns. The constitution, as
it now stands, is unjust and I'M
democratic, discriminating, with.
out cause, against the country
children. The people living in
the country districts are just as
honest and worthy of being in
trusted with matters pertaining
to the education of their own
children as the people living in
cities and towns.
