SECOND EXCURSION OF The SEASON
VIA THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
GALVESTON, TEXAS.
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1913-05-21
A FEW REASONS WHY SENATE
JOINT RESOLUTION NO 18
SHOULD BE DEFEATED.

Following are few reasons why
Senate Joint Resolution No. IS should
be defeated at the special election
called by the Governor for July 10:
First-That it gives the Legislature
unlimited power to issue bonds. If
this amendment becomes law, it
authorizes the Legislature to issue
bonds in any amount, and pay interest
in any amount. There is absolutely
no limit to this authority in this pro-
posed amendment.
Second-There are seven distinct
and separate propositions in this one
bill, whereas the Constitution of the
State of Texas distinctly says that
every bill offered and passed by the
Legislature shall contain but one sub
ject, and that it shall be plainly set
forth in the caption.
Third-This amendment authorizes

Mr.. w. T. Eldridge, one of the
largest planters Of Texas, has outlined
a plan or system for the conduct OF
our State penitentiaries which he be-
lieves will cure many of the evils now
existing, and make the penitentiary
system self-supporting. He lays down
as the prime cause of loss to the State
in handling it's penal institutions, the
wastefulness and destructiveness of
the convicts themselves, and their con-
slant efforts to create a loss to the
State. To cure this, and which would
be the real keynote Of his proposed
system, would be to let the convicts
share in the profits of their labor.
Deduct the cost of their support, and
divide the remainder between the
State and the convicts. This, coupled
with good treatment, would serve as
an inspiration to the convicts to rem
der the best service possible, and in
stead of destructiveness there would
be conservativeness. The hope OF re-
ward is powerful stimulus, and
there is much logic in Mr.. Eldridge's
plan.
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1913-05-21

the Legislature to issue bonds for an
unlimited amount to maintain the pen
itentiary system and pay interest at
an unlimited amount, when in reality
the penitentiary should be self-sustain-
ing and not have to be operated by
bond issues.
Fourth-Every voter should have
the privilege of voting for or against
each separate proposition in an amend
ment to the State Constitution, there
fore the resolution should be defeated
as a whole, and ask the Legislature
to resubmit each question separately,
and plainly.
Fifth-While the wording of the res
oltuion is intended to convey the idea
that any bond issue would be against
the available property Of any institu'
ton only, yet the taxpayers must pay
the interest and sinking fund, which
can not be done without increasing
the tax levy.
Sixth-Unrestraint in the power to
issue bonds against the State means
to many, "easy money" and wouls
make Texas the headquarters for the
bond sharks of the country.
! Seventh-Each and every separate
bond issue should be first submitted
to the taxpaying voters.
Eighth-Every voter desiring to sup
port the good roads, Improvement o.
rivers, creeks, levees, or warehouse
feature in Senate Joint Resolution No
IS can do so by supporting Senate
Joint Resolution No. 4; and in Senate
Joint Resolution No. the voter ma!
vote for or against either proposition
separately.

In the common vernacular, Japan
has had her pride stepped on in the
California anti-alien land law, and
that is what she has her back up
about. She regards the law as a dis
elimination against her and the idea
that she should be persona non grata
while other nationalities are not, con-
stitutes the reef of Normans woe.
She does not mind the exclusion OF
her citizens from the United States,
as they are needed in Manchuria,
Formosa and Korea, but her pride has
been touched to the quick and that
is what hurts.

PROGRESS ON THE INTERURBAN.

An Eagle man has just had the
pleasure of. looking over the grading
work on the interurban road into the
bottom. Few people realize the i'm
portance of this road and what it
really means to the city of Bryan.
The line extends southwest in Brazos
County to Stone City, on the Brazos
River, and here crosses this stream
and goes south in Burleson County to
Wilcox, a distance of twenty-five miles
from Bryan. This route traverses one
of the most fertile farming sections
in the State and without doubt will
be a great revenue getter for the city.

To FIGHT HOOKWORM
IN THIS SECTION

The Commissioners Court of Brazos
County appropriated $500 during its
last meeting to assist in the fight
against hookworm in this section. The
State Board of Health agrees to fur
nish physicians and laboratory experts
to make examinations free of charge,
and treat all cases of hookworm with
out cost to the patients.
DR.. NJ. II. Boerner, director Of the
commission doing this work, has an
nounced that, besides Brazos County,
there are five other counties which
have made appropriations Shelby,
Austin, Henderson, Smith and Navarro
counties.
The field force of physicians is now
at work in Houston, Grimes and San
Augustine counties.

The former light and water plant
would make an excellent canning fac
tory. A plant could be established
there that would convert hundreds Of
acres of Brazos County lands into
truck farms, give employment to many
laborers, keep a constant stream OF
freight cars laden with canned goods
going out of Bryan, and put money in
the pockets of the farmers all through
the dull season of the year.

A trip over this line is necessary
ments are facts, and the business men
Of Bryan are preparing an auto excur.
sion at an early date TO carry out this
idea. There are numerous ginning in
terests, small mercantile establish
ments, and other worthy enterprises
that are turning their eyes in this d.
rection as a result of this road through
this territory. A healthy cash deposit
from these thriving little villas can
be expected when this territory is
linked to Bryan, which will in no wise
be Objectionable. Let every business
interest in the city be represented in
this trade excursion, extend these
people the glad hand and make them
feel that we want them to do business
at Observation-Disclosures our eff
forts will not be fruitless.
Within ten days, weather permit
ting, the grading to Stone City will be
finished and then the work will be
pushed beyond the river. So far the
work is highly satisfactory to the
authorities and the outlook is good for
laying ties and steel Immediately.
Those who have charge of bonus col
lections are working hard to keep up
with the progress of the road, and if
you have not already done so, you can
aid materially in this work by looking
them up and making settlements sat
isfactory to the committee at once.

KENNEDY NAILS
ANOTHER ONE
Refutes an Interview in The Dallas
News In Regard to Resolution 18
by Stating Exactly What
Occurred at Press
Ast 1ciation.

Austin, Texas, May 21.-Represent-
alive A. NJ Kennedy of Kerr County
has given out the following state
ment
1T was not my purpose to refer to
the failure of the advocates of Senate
Joint Resolution No. IS to secure an
official endorsement from the Texas
Press Association for the resolution,
and | so stated, and fully intended to
treat the matter as a closed incident,
but the effort made by the advocates
of the resolution, as indicated in an
day, to make it appear that IS per
cent of the Press Association would
have voted for the resolution, justifies
me in giving to the readers Of The
Eagle the real facts as seen from my
point of view.
Il wish to state at the outset that
did not seek, either directly or in
directly, to secure an official expires.
sion from the Texas Press Association
upon this or any other amendment.
In fact, my idea was that all political
questions, except those that might d.
rectly concern the members OF the
association, should be tabooed. How
ever, the advocates OF Senate Joint
Resolution No. IS were on the ground
early and worked hard for an endorse
ment. Late Friday night was advised
that resolution prepared by gentle
man who is not newspaper man en-
dorsing Senate Joint Resolution No.
IS, and committing the Press Associa-
ton to its support, had been adopted
by the committee on resolutions. Sat
urday morning at a later meeting OF
the committee ! made a protest, and
in the discussion it developed that the
committee had no authority under its
bylaws to originate such resolution
and the chairman refused to further
entertain it. Whereupon the resolu-
tion was handed to the gentleman who
wrote it with the statement that II he
desired it considered by the commit
tee he must get someone to introduce
Ii on the floor of the convention. Sub
sequently another resolution TO the
same effect but prepared to meet some
of the objections urged by me to the
original resolution, was introduced and
referred to the committee, and at its
final meeting the committee agreed
to report it back without recommend.
ing it, or as they put it, to the con-
Ivention for action and they did so.
1t was made a special order for the
afternoon session, but a previous spe-
cial order was taken up first that of
electing officers and selecting the next
place OF meeting. At the conclusion
of this special order, by general agree
ment at the suggestion OF the author
OF the resolution, the convention ad'
journed without considering the reso-
luton.
"Of course no one can ever tell just
what body of men is going to do un-
til after they have already acted, but
did not run up flag of truce. was
perfectly willing to meet the issue, al
though !, OF course, was pleased to
secure what | was after without max
! ing a fight on the floor OF the conven-
| ton, that is, the defeating of any res
olution endorsing any political ques-
ton"

 "Oh, my brother," groaned the reverend gentleman, "wouldst thou rob me? Turn, 1 beseech you turn from thy evil ways. Return those stolen goods and depart in peace, for 1 am mcrciful and for give. Begone"
 And the burglar, only too thank full at not being given into the GUS tody of the police, obeyed and slunk swiftly off.
 Then the good old man carefully and quietly packed the swag into another bag and walked softly (so as not to disturb the slumber of the inmates) out of the house and away into the silent night. For he, too, was a burglar.

Bismarck and the Eggs.

After the battle of Sedan the old Emperor William supped off d piece of dry bread, while he sat on a lad der that was supported on one side by barrel and on the other by the body of dead horse.
 Bismarck used to delight to re- late that when he was foraging with two companions in an almost deserted village during the Franco Prussian war he came upon man from whom he got five eggs. Un- able to divide the five equally among three, he swallowed two. Then, calling his companions, he shared the three remaining eggs with them-a truly Bismarckian idea of an equable division, says the writer who describes the incl dent.
