Determine Profits.

Farmers profits are determined by
the difference between production and

the transportation costs wipe out the

SUSPENDED SENTENCE LAW MAY BE
AMENDED BUT NOT REPEALED

The action of the House in adopting a sub
stitute for the bill repeating the suspended sen
tence law kills definitely one feature OF the Gov
ernors program. Il is the feature above
others that appealed to being desirable
The legislature. however. to think other
wise and from the present outlook will adopt a
substitute measure. While regretting the action
of the House in this matter, it should be said
that the substitute bill is a great improvement
over the law as it stands at present and it
has been administered in majority OF the
counties of the State. 1t excerpts from the bene-
fit OF the suspended sentence persons charged
with any OF the following crimes: Murder, rape.
perjury. burglary of a private residence, robbery,
theft Of an automobile. arson incest. bigamy.
abortion and violation Of the liquor laws. Most
of these crimes figure in the records of suspend
ed sentences granted IN Texas during recent
years, and to abolish the practice far as
these crimes are concerned is a long step to
ward curing the evil which has grown up in con
nection with the suspended sentence. A bill
similar 10 this was passed at the regular session
and vetoed by the Governor. With the posi-
bility of obtaining the repeal OF the entire law
at the special session. Governor Neff was pro
baby justified in ihis veto. But if this substitute
bill is passed at the special session the Cover
nor ought TO sign it, While the repeal of the
entire law may be necessary to eradicate abuses
entirely, this bill should do much to stop those
abuses should it become a Jaw.

WHAT Is THERE IN A HEADLINEp

Much some times. Many people read news
paper almost entirely by scanning the head lines
and read of the articles. Some times
an injustice is done a person a community a
state church or a nation by mere mis-statement
in newspaper headline. Some time ago-sev-
eral weeks we will say. an article was out
from Lubbock regarding the crop conditions, and
mentioned the heavy reduction Of the cotton acre
age and stated that some Of the Lubbock gins
would not start up for business this fal-that is
probably all four OF the gins in Lubbock would
not operate this fall on account of the great re-
duction of the acreage. The headwrer for the
paper that it sent to. put this heading over the
article: Lubbock Gins May Not Run During This
Season" and the article has been copied promis
cously throughout the Panhandle and the Central
part of the state proclaiming to the world that
our gins will not run this season. This is mis-
take and the article following the heading does not
that, but person eancing through the papers
will infer from the headlines that gins will
in Lubbock this season There is sometimes much
to headline and this is that feel does
Lubbock an injustice. Lubbock has four OF
good gins as will be found anywhere, and Lubbock
county will produce lot of cotton this fall and
many Of the gins will operate is necessary to cut
the cotton that is brought here, and in all proba-
bility all of them will be in first class shape for
cutting the first bale that is offered.

THE ROUTE THE REDISTRICTING PLAN
MUST TAKE

Speaking of the redistricting OF the State the
Star elegram says: The Senate Committee on
Senatorial Districts has appointed subcommit-
tie composed of Senators Bledsoe Darwin, Floyd.
Page and Richards to consider three redistrioting
bills pending before the committee and to report
back bill drawn on a basis Of thre three. These
bills are two Senate bills. by Senator Bled-
soc and the other by Senator Burkett. and the
House bill by Representative Hill and others.
which already has been passed in the Lower
House.
The appointment of the subcommittee is a
decided step toward the completion Of re-
distrcting bill at this session. but it will require
steady and conscientious work to insure its com
pletion. The session is already one-third gone.
and even after the subcommittee has drafted a
bill and the Committee on Senatorial Districts
has reported il out. it is not likely that il will
get through the Senate without some amendment
Ia will then have to go back to the House. with
the probability that the House will not readily
concur in all the changes made by the Senate
From this will be that the bill will finally
be decided upon in conference committee. Ex-
perience with redistrictng measurs in the past
proves that an eleventh hour deadlock between
the two Houses over conference report u q
real danger For this Tason Il - TO be hoped thai

tors OF genuine ability. win labor to report ball
shat will staad up under fire. and the honest,
end harness Of which viii carry u through the
intricate process ahead oi a.

LACK OF CONFIDENCE KILLING THE
HOME. BUSINESS

Commissioner of Insurance and Banking, Ed
ward Hall, turned machine gun on the people
of Ranger when he said. speaking Of recent
run on a local bank. every dollar of n-interest
bearing and unsecured deposits of the Guaranty
Bank will be paid depositors. II you people in
sist on destroying yo6r banks by unreason-
able lack of confidence and by making demands
that bank meet you cannot expect the
State Banking Department to grant a charter for
another bank in Ranger. The State Banking
Board has now 81, 500 900 to pay depostors and
is collecting assessments from something more
than 900 state banks in the State of Texas"
This should be lesson to depositors everywhere
who are unreasonable. When they destroy their
banks by their cowardce or their timidity they
destroy themselves their business prosperity their
industry and their community. Now is the time
for to sit steady in the boat. Now is the
time for men to guard their tongues. to throttle
newspaper gossips and discontnuanoe at all times
malicious mischievous manufactures of stories
which reflect on their fellows or the institutions
of their cities and towns Regardless Of the pes
simist. there is upward trend and conditions
much more encouraging than they ninety
days ago.

AN AUDITORIUM BADLY NEEDED IN
LUBBOCK

Probably no town in the west is more in need
of an auditorium than Lubbock is at the present
time. We have no place for large crowds to
sembe, except the Methodist Church the court
house, and neither of these places can be had at
all times and not suitable nor large enough to
accommodate the crowds that often have occasion
to meet here. Lubbock is centrally located and
will always be convenient place for people to
gather from the surrounding counties. and we
should provide suitable place to accommodate
them when they come
The most feasible solution to this problem at
the present time is the erection of a tabernacle
large enough to seat three or four thousand Peo-
pie. This be done at a reasonable price we
believe and could be used for public gatherings of
all kinds and If properly seated and built could be
used at any of the year
There is a demand for place Of this kind for
revival meetings and for lectures etc, and if all
church denominations and all organizations that
have occasion for the of such building would
do their part toward building il the burden would
not fall very heavily upon anyone. he city is
certainly in need of the auditorium Why not get
busy it.

The Legislature seemingly has reconsidered
the experimental stations and has restored all of
the Texas Stations to place in the Senate Bud
get II looked for awhile as though six of the
stations were going to be choked to death but
will probably get by with small appropriation.
This is a very important work and the average
legislator does not really know the Importance
OF these stations Take the Lubbock station for
instance Its usefulness cannot be calculated in
dollars and cents. and comparatively few of the
legislators really understand what the station is
doing. II they would take the time to invest-
gate the great help this station has been to this
section OF the country they could not conscient-
ously withhold the support of the state from il
and would no doubt be more liberal with the
appropriations for the work The stations have
never had sufficient appropriations to do the
work that they should.
