SAYS UNCLE SAM IS
GOING BROKE
PeSSimiStic Views on Tariff
Measure by Texas Congress-
man; One Case of Prompt
Justice in Mexico.

San Antonio. Tex, Dec. 27.-That
the government has empty pockets
and will continue to have them for
some time as the result of the tariff
measure enacted last summer, is the
opinion of James l.. Slayden, congress-
man from this district.
THE tariff measure enacted last
summer" he said, lis disappointing to
its friends as a revenue producer.
The deficit since July /, which is the
beginning of the fiscal year. is now
about $4,000. 600. Practically all tho
money that the treasury has had on
deposit with the national banks has
been called in, and the simple fact is
that the government is broke, or near
ly so. With that condition existing il
is clear that rigid economy is neces-
sary."
Mr.. Slayden made this statement
when asked about improvements the
government has in contemplation at
Fort Sam Houston.

Mexican government are holding up
the Luis Proto ease as conclusive evil
dence that justice in Mexico is not in
as precarious a condition as somc

as far as to say hat at least in this
instance Mexico did better than the
United States would have done.
The case is briefly this. About six
months ago Luis Proto, a prominent
Sonoran, was shot and killed from am
bush near his home. Investigation
showed that some of his business as
sociates were implicated in the crime
All Of them were arrested, tried and
convicted and will suffer the death
penalty by being shot. Don Rafael
ITrevino, the trial judge recommended
not only that Pablo Gomez, who COM
mitted the foul act, should be executed
but that Pablo Gomez, Jr., of the firm
of +, Espinosa Il Bros, Hermosillo,
and Francisco Bastian, also implica-
ted, should share his fate. Rafael
Lopez. who turned state evidence was
sentenced by him to eight years in
the penitentiary. To satisfy the claim
Of the widow and son of the murdered
man, the court has attached the prop
erty of the convicted men to the
amount of $245,500. Owing to the
very high social and commercial
standing of two of the defendants, the
trial was a long and tedious affair.
But there was no clubbing and the
criminals will get their lust due.
That the boys in blue at Fort Sam
Houston had no kick coming in the
matter of Christmas dinner and its
trimmings, will be seen from the pro-
visions made by the post uuartermas-
ter. Like Napoleon, hat worthy

COUNTY WILL PAY

Ii Fiscal Court Has Way to
Prevent Extra Tax on
Property Owners.
Would Cost $4,000 to Start
High School.
COUNTY JUDGE HAS OPINION

Any effort of the county school
board to compel the fiscal court to
raise the county taxes in order to pro-
vide for a county High school out in
the country will be resisted, from in
locations. II is not at all certain
hat the trustees are entirely in favor
Of going to the expense. but some of
them have expressed themselves that
way without considering the matter
extensively.
County Judge Nghtfoot is opposed
to 1t and will make arrangements
with the board for the admission OF
rural school graduates.
81 hope the people will study this
question seriously" said Judge Light
foot. at would cost us SIS 900 for
the building. 1t would cost us S.
900 year. anyway, to maintain such
High school as the statute contemp-
lates. There is $40. 900 the first
year. That 10 as much as our roads
cost us in year It would add to
the county tax rate materially, and it
would be continuous growing ex-
pense.
THAT would be all right II there
were many pupils, but at best there
will be not more than half a dozen
outside the immediate vicinity of the
school. A farmer is not going TO send
his children across the county to at
tend school in the country. II the
pupils should desire II board near the
school they could better come to Pa
ducah. where they will have to make
many trips, anyhow. during the
school year
THE suggestion in The Sun that
the county make arrangements with
the city schools for the pupils Is an
excellent one. The county could bet
ter afford to pay tuition for every
pupil of the rural schools who desires
to enter the city schools. than to ex-
pend $4,000 on the building and
IS, O09 on top of that every year.
The pupils will have better advant-
ages every way in Paducah. To spend
that amount of money establishing a
county High school In one section OF
the county, would be wasting funds
that better could be expended for
something else, or saved by the tax
payers. The situation here is not
similar to that in counties, where they
have not a splendid school system like
this city"
