| consists OF I'VE members two repre-
senting each Of the nations lat outs
and fifth to be appointed by the
| other four. OF the four, one member
or either side must not be citizen
OF the warning nations. Thus, a com.
mission of the sort might be com
posed Of five men of five different
natlonallt1es, and in the case Of Aus
tria and Servia, one Austrian and one
Servian certainly would have served.
While the commission was investi-
eating the matter in dispute no war
would have been declared and hos.
tilities would not have been begun.
In any event, full year would have
elapsed before either possibility
might have materialized-and during
this time is not unreasonable to sup
pose that the war might have been
prevented altogether According to
the friends and advocates Of Mr.
Bryans peace plan there is no doubt
Of this-that the war pos lively would
have been aevrted
That treaties, to be honest, and
worth the name, must be kept fully
in spirit as well as in letter, is the
firm belief Of President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan. A striking exam
pie Of the Presidents conscientious
attitude has been his stand on the
Panama canal tolls.
Some Of these fine days" said the
admirer Of the President, recently"
with fine irony, the people of the
world will rise up and demand what
hitherto has seldom been the case
that treaties between nations and DO
litical platforms be respected and

that the Democrats will realibe TIL
futility and peril of their present

public opinion eventually to establish
non-partisan commission and re-
adjust the tariff upon a sound, sane,
commonsense protective basis Unless
this be done, the country will deliver
it's mandate in 1916 In no uncertain
terms.
careful study of the above facts
reveals the weakness Of the argument
that the Democrats will realize the

the election or defeat Of Senator Pen

POLL TAX AND
OTHER RULINGS
Poll Taxes in Cities Of Less Than
10000 May Be Paid in Person
or by Agent.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 27.-The Legisla.
ture had the power and authority to
provide for the indictment and prose
cution of corporations for the commits
sion of offenses consisting in either a
misfeasance or nonfeasance of duty
to the public, according to an opinion
rendered by the Attorney Generals
Department to County Attorney Sow
der of Lubbock County.
1t is further held that where a pei,
atty is fixed by law, corporation may
be indicted and criminal prosecution
may be successfully maintained
against it. This question came up over
the alleged violation of the pure food
laws by corporation, and under this
ruling the corporation may be prose
cuted criminally.
1t was held by the Attorney Gener-
ais Department that the law author
ICES a person living in city OF less
than 10000 inhabitants to pay his poll
tax either in person or by agent. How
ever, 1t is further held, that no
authority is given by this to the tax
collector of any county to issue a poll
tax receipt to any person until such
person has been assessed either by
the assessor or by the collector It is
also made the duty of the tax collector
to assess any person who may apply
to him to pay his tax If such person
had not been previously assessed by
the tax assessor. The ruling was to
the county attorney of Hardin County,
at Kountze.

This ruling was in answer to an in
