reason why the Texas legislature
should repeal the Robertson law and
pass, In its stead. the obnoxious Glib
son bill. The contention OF the Morn.
ing News Is ludicrous In the extreme.
The self-exiled and ,law-defying life
insurance companies don't give so
much as the snap OF a finger for the
taxing provisions OF the Robertson
law. What they are opposing land
have always been opposing. since its
enactmenD Is the compulsory invest.
ment provisions OF the law! And that
Is the meat OF the Robertson law. II
is the best provision Of the law. so far
as the people of Texas are concerned
The million dollars OF back taxes and
penalties that these arrogant com.
panies owe the state might be remit.
ted; the taxing provisions OF the Rob
ertson law might be totally eliminated
and still these arrogant companies
would not be satisfied; they would
still contend for the annuling OF the
compulsory investment provisions.
They want to make a mich COW Of
Texas-the state to feed the COW and
Wall street to milk the COW.
And then again. there Is no certain.
ty that the Kentucky law decision OF
the United States supreme court
would hold good against the taxing
provision OF the Texas law; the Ken
lucky constitution and the Kentucky
law may not be exactly like those OF
Texas. ON these features. Anyway
nobody has ever attempted to prevent
the self-exiled and law-deiying life in
surance companies from testing the
taxing-or any other-proyision OF the
Robertson law in the courts. They
have often been invited-and even
challenged-to make such test, The
door OF Justice Is wide open TO them
All they have to do is to walk right
into court with their complaints e.

AFTER THE WAR PREPAREDNESS

When the European war has spent
its fury and reached the end. there
will be many questions TO settle, many
new relations TO be formed. Read
3ustments will necessarily have to be
made between the United States and
the bellIgerent nations concerning
commerce and all other treaty rela'
lions.
There are some who argue the pro-
posed army and navy preparedness
should be carried through as rapidly
Ms possible so that every demand we
should see III To make In the readiust-
ment of affairs could be forced
through.
The Eagle thinks we should be pre-
pared for commercial supremacy, and
be prepared to make the nations Of the
world who are coming to US for ia
vors and for supplies OF every de-
scription. the most liberal terms pos
sible. thereby gaining their good will
and their continued friendship The

the winners and ourselves serious

II he had said complications would
arise with all the belligerents, win
ners and losers.

which we mean the final exhaustion
Of one side. the terms OF peace will
likely be OF such character that al
Europe will be held together into sucl
an alliance as may best suit the pur
poses OF the victors.
The complications, therefore viii
affect all.
The exhaustion which all the ma
tons will suffer must greatly accen
tuate our future relations. because
the economic adjustments that will b
imperative will affect us almost as
much as the belligerents.
