DOES THE NEWS MEAN 1T?

The Galveston News, in discussing
the proposed amendment to be voted
on in July which refers to the is
suance of bonds for the benefit of our
institutions of learning, says:
Resolution Is ought to be adopted
because it is thoroughly good in all of
its parts. 1t efficiently and accurately
provides in the proposed section So
for everything which is sought to be
and in the proposed section 40 it pro-
vides for a number of meritorious
things, such as the authorization of
bonds for the upbuilding Of the Uni
versity, the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College and other State institu-
tions. If this amendment shall be
adopted, adequate, well constructed
buildings can be erected for these in
situations, as it has not been possible
to do in the past. Thus, wise economy
can be effected, and that without
humping the tax rate which the people
have to pay. There is no more reason
why the people should be called upon
to pay for buildings for State institu-
lions out of current taxation than
there would be to limit them to cur
rent taxation for the construction of
school buildings, courthouses and
roads,"
In view OF the fact that during the
recent agitation to consolidate the
University and the A. and NJ. College
the News championed, and in fact was
the leader of the consolidation forces,
it would not be impertinent in The
Eagle to ask the News if it really
means what it says in the above clip
ping? Does it mean the 'upbuilding
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College" where it is, or does it mean
the upbuilding of a new A. and NJ.
College out and out in connection with
the State University at Austin, or
wherever this university of the first
class" may be located?
There is a diversity of opinion in
Texas as to just what the proposed
amendment does mean. Many of the
friends of the A. and NJ. College be-
lieve it is a cunningly devised scheme
to enable the State University to Sc
cure the necessary funds to establish
another A. and NJ. College on the Uni.
versity campus to be operated by the
University, thereby multiplying the
present institution at College Station.
Recognizing the value of an opinion
from the News, there are thousands
Of voters in Texas who would be glad
to see its elucidation OF this perpleX-
ing point.

Congressman Underwood's cam
paign manager in his Presidential
aspirations, has been given a good, fat,
juicy job by President Wilson. It's
bad enough to pay ones personal po-
litcal debts with jobs, but when it
comes to paying the political debts of
ones opponents, it's carrying the
thing too dad gummed far. At least
that's the way it looks to the great
army of suffering patriots.
