These observations by the MemDhis
Commercial-Appeal are calculated to
awaken memories for Texans:
within one year the tariff has been
revised, and the helpful result is al
ready apparent.
THE income tax law, which it took
a constitutional amendment to make
possible, is on the books and we ere
closing our first assessment.
AT best the law is crude, just as is
an immense piece OF machinery crude,
but the structure is basically sound
and the principle is correct.
1.-The income tax law is much like
the typewriter or the Mergenthaler
typesetter when first invented. These
machines wrote or set type from the
beginning, but as men began to work
them they found where they could
take parts out here and parts out there
until the instruments are greatly sim
plified and their efficiency increased.
"The third triumph of the admins
tration has been the currency bill,
which men have been struggling to
pass since the war.
ut is a measured hat now has the
opposition of no financial authority in
the country, and II there is anything
radically wrong about it, the wrong
is not now known to the most skilled
banker or the most thoroughgoing
student of the science of money.
"The completion of these three
great measure is enough glory for any
administration
1t was Roger @. Mills, more than
any other man in America, who ex-
posed the iniquity of the protective
tariff-that is, If il be Ubiquitous, as
the Democrats claim. The Wilson
tariff measure of 1894 and the Wilson
tariff measure of 1913 had for their
sponsor the splendid Texan whose
home was at Corsicana.
The constitutional amendment al
lowing the levy of an income tax is
to be credited to another Texan,
Joseph Weldon Bailey. But for his
constancy in that behalf. the amend
ment would never have been proposed
to the States OF the American Union,
The currency bill had an early
champion in another citizen of Corsi-
cana, the Honorable Rufus Hardy,
now an NJ. c. When practically SO
out of every 100 Texans were shouting
themselves hoarse for the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver, Rufus
Hardy was on the stump, telling the
people not to attempt double stand
ard, but to strike for an asset cur
rency.
1t was a Texan, John H. Reagan,
who inaugurated and carried to sue
cessful conclusion the demand for gov
ernmental control of interstate COM
merce.
1t was a Texan, Webster Flanagan.
who started the never-dying inquiry,
What are we here for?
1t was a Texan, Walter Gresham,
who conceived the idea of commission
government for cities.
1t was a Texan, Joe Pastoriza, who
started the Houston plan of taxation
"a plan that threatens to "take"~in
all American cities.
But we must desist: other subjects
demand some attention, although we

One trouble with us is, we pass it
up to the Commercial Club secretary
and the newspaper do to do all the
work for the city's upbuilding. They
have their part to play, OF course, but
likewise has every individual. We
must all work, work together and
work all the time, if any great things
are to be accomplished.

A brick plant is one of the crying
needs of Bryan. All brick used here
come from other places and bear the
extra cost of heavy freight charges.
With plant here this freight could
be saved to the consumers, and be-
sides the plant would give employ
ment to large number of people, thus
multiplying the "tin bucket" brigade
and swelling the volume of retail
trade.

CAUSES OF THE CONFLICT

icing asked by so many inmates Saturday
X afternoon what was the cause of the con-
dict in Europe. we will answer them
through the Mirror in as condensed form
as possible the way we CLEAN it from the
metropolitan newspapers. The causes of
the war which has set all Europe ablaze
are as follows:
The century -od hatred of the Serbs
and the Austrians, each for the other
growing out of the struggle of the Serbs
for unity and freedom in which Austria
through her possession of Servian
provinces, effectuay bars the way The
impassioned rage of the Servians that they who
have thrown off the yoke of the Turk in territory
once held by the sultan have been unable to win
one foot of ground or a single subject from tie
dual monarchy.
The deep resentment of Austria at the murder
of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne
on June %, through a Servian plot, which
brought all the long smoderng bitterness of the
two peoples to a climax
The ultimatum delivered to Serva by Austria
demanding punishment of the archduke's sayers
Servias reply, termed by the Austrian foreign
office, unsatisfactory
Precipitation of France, Germany and Italy in
to the crisis by Russia's determination to block
any change in the balance of power in the
Balkans.
The known purpose of Russia to use all her
armies to this end makes that great empire in
effect an ally of Servia, and in turn draws France
to support the Russian standard through an Of
fensive and defensive alliance.
Russia's espousa of the Servian cause auto
matically brings into play the triple alliance, in
which Germany and Italy are bound to rally to
the support of their ally Austria.
Germany in the field would be certain to bring
France into the situation with view to avenoing
herself for the Franco Prussian war;
Diplomats argue that Great Britain would con-
slider that Austria and Germany opposing Russia
France and the Balkan states, might triumph
leaving England alone to face the question of
German expansion, and that therefore it would be
better for Great Britain to take part in the war
and aid Russia, France and the Balkans in putting
a final end to German and Austrian power in
Europe.
