GRAFTON claiming that the present
one is plenty good enough. When
our original constitution was
adopted Texas was in raw
state; it was entirely undevelop-
ed and was considered TO be on
the outskirts of civilization and
the constitution was made to fit
what was the conditions at that
time and the future of the coun-
try as it appeared to be to those
people. They were wise states
men and adopted a constitution
of which the entire United
States are properly proud. But
the development of Texas has by
far exceeded the expectations of
the people of even fifteen or
twenty years ago and we find
ourselves at such a point when
additional changes must be made
to fit present and future condi-
tons.
Two of the proposed amend
ments relate primarily to the
school interests Of the state.
Educational matters are of pri-
mary Importance to every citizen
of the state and the advancement
Of these interests is or ought to
be the first consideration of the
entire populace. The other
amendment has relation to the
incorporation of cities or towns.
This is also an important matter
as it deals directly with the adj
ministration of justice to the citi-
zens Of the smaller towns and
people.
The News Office has on hand
copies of paper containing adver-
tisemeEys of the election and
would be pleased to furnish the
voters Of the county with copies
for their consideration.

an article relative to our special

AS fine special edition as we
ever saw issued from country

strongly, we think, in referring
to the issue of the Randall Coun.
ty News, printed at Canyon,
Texas. In addition to the regu-
lar paper there were three spe-
cial parts of eight pages each,
printed on S. G. paper with fine
ink, each one pasted and trim

display just right and they were
all printed to get best results.
This edition makes great show

THE COUNTY TAX RATE.

If anyone doubts but that the
officers of Randall county are
conservative in the expenditure
Of county money they have but
TO Investigate to find out that the
tax rate here is very low. This
week the commissioners court
has set the county tax rate and
the sum total is twenty eight
cents on each hundred dollars
valuation Of taxable property.
The state tax rate has not yet
been announced but, taking it at
last years figures. forty cents, it
will make the total state and
county rate sixty eight cents on
each 500. an extremely low rate
in any country but it is very
likely that the state rate will be
decreased and if it is it will but
lower the taxes that much more.
ThecOunty rateincludes the taxes
for our new court house which
has just been completed. Randall
county has a very cheap tax rate
but even with that the officials
are not niggardly when it comes
to necessary expenditures for
the benefit Of the county.
