There are the best of reasons for
expecting the largest fall business Bry-
an has ever had. The corn crop is a
record breaker, cotton, though not yet
past the critical period, is in most
healthy and prosperous condition, ana
all minor crops are in good shape.
Moreover, there is every reason to eX-
pect that prices will be satisfactory.

WILL LOCAL OPTION
 PAY WILLIAMS?
(Communicated)

and have made a careful investiga- tion of the question, and this is what we find:
 First.-A town or city needs streets, street lights, police and fire protection; and in order to have these you must maintain lighting plant, water system. and, in ad- dition, telephone system; and review of conditions will reveal that since April 1, 1909, that saloons have contributed, in licenses and taxes, and toward lights and tele- phone and water maintenance in this town the following amounts: Territorial license, Il sa-
 looms at $500 each. .$3, 300 co City license, 9 saloons, at
 $36O each .... 3,24oOo Pool tables, 6 at $1O. .... 5000 Three saloons, carrying
 rooming house licenses,
 $1O each 5000 Tax on stock and fixtures. $50 % Tax on real estate. ... 1,3125O Lights, water, telephones 3,612.OO Grand total .$11, ,9O4.5
 There are thirty men working in the saloons of Williams at present 1t wages ranging from sixty to one hundred and twenty-five dollars per month, making a pay roll of two thousand two hundred and fifty dollars per month.
 Now the closing of the saloons of Willia ms will first confscate all stock and fixtures and also all real estate used by saloons, from the very fact that it can not be used pro6tably in any other business. This then will deprive the city and county of eight thousand two hun dred ninety two dollars and fifty cents each succeeding twelve months. Also cut down the receipts of your telephone. water and electric light plants three thousand six hundred and twelve dollars each succeeding twelve months.
 Will also deprive the business men of Williams of what the present employees of saloons, spend which amounts to practically the entire pay roll. and will also throw upon the already over crowded labor market all men now employed in saloons, thereby forcing wages a notch lower and thereby affecting adversely the families of all laboring men not now engaged in the saloon business.
 To sum up the entire cost that Willia ms will pay for local option we find that it reaches the enormous sum of thirty eight thousand nine hundred and four dollars and fifty cents each succeeding twelve months from date of the closing of the saloons. But this is not all. To tax your present light and telephone companies three hun dred and one dollars per month, or reduce their receipts that amount is to confiscate their property and close their plants the same as the saloon keepers, so that the good old days of the tallow dip, and oil lamp may return to the people of Williams and then adding the light com pany's present force of employees again to your crowded labor mar ket, forcing wages down another notch.
 Now as to the claim that Local Option will confscate or render valueless the real estate at present used as saloons. The advocates of a closed town will say that it can be used in other mercantile lines; very we'll. You have at present six general stores, two drug stores and

every congressional district to send
a progressive or "insurgent" to con-
gress next fall there were wild cheers.
Senator Cummins said in part:
The fundamental tenets of the
faith OF the republican party are but
two in number, but Of overwhelming
Importance to the American people.
THE first and always the most vital
is that the constitution created ma
tion with all the power that is neces-
sary to adequately preserve the dig
nifty and promote the welfare OF the
citizens; and to that end the immor-
/ tai charter of the republic must be
literally interpreted.
"The second, far reaching in its
consequences, and essential to the
/ growth, development and prosperity
Of the land, is that import duties
/ shall be laid for protection as well
as revenue, that through these duties
domestic producers shall be shielded
from unfair and unequal competition
OF other countries.

has made wonderful progress. He
