THE POSSIBILITIES or LUBBOCK
When one begins to think and
talk of the possibilities Of. this
county, he might close his eyes
and dream dreams of roseate hue
When we read some of the liter
AZURE which is sent out from
some cities, we are tempted to
think that this is what the writ
ers of the literature did. But
extravagant dreams are not only
useless, but extremely harmful.
We should not get into the habit
of dreaming, its bad for moral
digestion. and bad for Lubbock.
What we want is the facts. And
while it is more difficult to get
the facts than il is to dream them
yet they are the best for US.
There are many possibilities
before Lubbock. Lubbock can
either go forward or backward.
There is no such thing as stand
ing still. He who stands still is
lost. We are going forward
When this new line, the cut
off" is complete, Lubbock will
have through train service. with
a number of additional uains.
This means hundreds more people
seeing our country. Thousands
of passengers will travel to and
from California. This ism I much,
but it will open the eyes of many
who think that this country is
desert wilderness. fl only for the
range.
We have the soil, as fertile
as we could wish. 1t is be-
ing proven this year that we can
raise the crops when the land is
properly titled even without ir-
rigation. One only has to visit
some of the farms around here.
to know that. Despite the dry
years Just past many Of these
farmers are prosperous.
We have the water, that rs

we have the climate. Thus we

only danger Of failure is in the
human element. We need farm

such. the success Of Lubbock is
assured.

But the constitutional amend
ment offered is vague. 1t fails
to stipulate, but grants the legis-
lature the right to issue bonds
for state buildings without limit,
whenever and wherever each
legislature may see fit. Was any
such plenary power ever before
lodged with a legislative BODY?
Surely not in Texas Such DOW
er is inherent and should ever be
retained within the people them
selves. The Constitution ex-
pressly inhibits such power by
limiting the sum expended for
casual deficiencies to 5000, 900
annually.
Can any one estimate the many
millions of debt into which the
State will be thrown through
bond issues authorized by the
Legislatures throughout even the
next few years? To my surprise,

say that the bonds issued in time
will be limited to the require
ments for State buildings, as |
understand them. What does
this mean, when it is recalled
that the within of each Legisla-
ture may from time to time.
authorize numerous new build
ings throughout the State, or
heavy expenditures on the pres
ent ones? the answer is woeful
dilemma when after a few years
we contemplate the enormous
State debt to be provided for
Gov. Colquitt attempts to
Justify this unheard of grant of
power by explaining thai the tax
ing power of 35c on the 500
valuation permits the Legislature
to raise just as large a sum as
will be raised through bond
issues, and argues that as the
taxing power is not abused, the
bond issuing power will not be.
The Governor reckons poorly. If
the state tax rate were raised 10
the limit of 35c to secure SO. 900. . /
600 in the treasury, using his
reference, about one-half the
taxpayers of the state would be
in Austin to protest.
Ii is generally accepted that a
bond issue is the most invidious
method of debt creation, as the
annual tax levy to provide
interest and sinking fund is
seemingly small, while an ad
valorem tax levy sufficient to
raise considerable sum OF money I
rs large enough to at once become /
noticeable and burdensome
For example. to raise 81, 900,
600 annually would require a tax
levy of 35c. To provide the
interest and annual
fund on a So. 900, 600
bond issue would require a tax
levy of but 25c. Thus. the tax
payer having a 81, 900 assessment
would pay $3.50 taxes annually
in the one instance, as against
35c on the bond issue. Against
such bond issue little objection
could be raised. but when it is
considered that the power to
issue bonds is to be unlimited
and unrestricted as to all state
buildings. the burden to the tax
payers will in time reach large

BUYING HOME PRODUCTS IS
BUSINESS, NOT PATRIOTISM
" You Want to Prosper You Must Help
Make Your Neighbors
Succeed.

"Buying home products is business.
not patriotism" said some one who
had Il happy faculty at getting at the
roots of things. lie did not mean that
the patriotic motive has and should
have no influence in controlling pur-
chases. but that the motive which
counts for the most everywhere is that
of business advantage.
If you want your own business to
grow You must help make business for
your neighbors. When you send abroad
for goods which the merchant in your
town can readily supply you place your
money where not the remotest advan-
tage a accrue to your community.
Patronizing the houses whose only
touch with the interests of your com
munity is maintained through the dis
tribution of a catalogue never drew
additional population to ones vicinity,
never promoted the erection of new
buildings, neve added a dollar to the
value of real estate. The system dis
courages home advancement along any
and every line. 1t is responsible for
decadence i'm many a village which
without it might have been the scene
of an everspreading and contagious
thrift. And in many emergencies,
when the presence of easily accessible
stocks of goods would mean much to
the comfort, health or well being of a
family, the absence of such stocks,
banished by the failure of the com
munity to support home enterprise,
may be keenly felt.
As for the saving in cost claimed to
be effected by ordering from a "cata-
logue." 1t is generally more fancied
than real. and even where something
Is actually saved the disadvantages
attending transactions with a dealer
at a distance are often more than an
Offset TO the saving.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF
GROWING SOY BEANS
Stock Raisers Find Them Superior 70
Corn In Several Ways, Not So Hsro
on Soil and Produce More Cash

NV experience with soy beans IS TINS:
They have no equal as a feed, SO lar
as I have tried them, says Il fennsyl-
vania correspondent of the American
Arriculturist. For feeding beef cattle
they arc excellent. They are equaii!
good for the dairy herd aud hogs.
The increase in the milk pail and tue
butter tub confirms my belief that they
have no equal as a feeding stun. TAX
ing into consideration. first, their great
nutritivc value: second. their cbeapness
and. third. their fertilizinS value
which Is equal to clover-they are, all
in all. my most valuable crop. Our cat
tie will leave clover almost knee hiGh
and eat soy bean forage in preference
| to the clover.
Ground that produces Il ton OF um-
othy hay will produce three to three
and a half tons of bean hay, which IS
worth $3.50 to IS more a ton than TIM
othy. | find that | can produce pork
beef and milk at a very ow cost with
the SOY beans. This means Il net pront
somewhere on my books, coming direct
ly or perhaps indirectly sometimes
through this method of feeding. or
course it is understood that ! feed 9TH
err grains also, just as other farmers do.
Last fall / fattened a bunch Of hogs
almost exclusively on soy beans. Just
three weeks before selling | commenc-
ed feeding corn. The hogs were lat
tened in the shortest time and had the
finest meat we ever produced. | fat
tened my beef cattle in pretty much
the same manner, and you just ought
to see the fine, glossy appearance or
these cattle. 1t would lead any one to
believe that they are curried daily,
but they are not. OF course my stock
is not of the scrubby kind.
Therefore | feel this way about this
crop: First, I can get more net money
| out of one bushel of soy beans than |
can out Of several bushels of corn; sec
| ond. I think corn is much harder on the
ground than soy beans: third, corn
costs much more to grow than soy
beans; fourth. soy beans contain more
oily matter than corn; fifth. in my esti-
nation soy beans are far better for
producing beef or pork or milk and
! butter than is corn.
