TONS Or DEAD RATS

The News had been informed that rat-killing campaign carried on in Palo Pinto County a few weeks ago yeild- ed thirty one tons of dead rodents. It has cen informed further that like campaign carried on in Williamson County had yielded twenty eight tons before it was ended. Tons" is the word The News, too, was skeptical but was assured that 1t was in tons the counts were made, the quantities being too 6ftat to make enumeration practicable.
 It will enable one to form something like an adequate idea as to the inered- able extent of the infestation, which undoubtedly exceeds bewond all com parison any that has heretofore been known in Texas. Eut even under the Stimulus of that statement one is not likely to get anything like an adequate Sense of the damage that is being done many calculations have been made in the effort t6 determine the rats de- struetive powers.

THE COAL TAX.

News to the effect that there is to be test made of the tax which has been imposed in the state of Pennsylvania up- on the anthracite mined in that common wealth is bound to interest many more than the legislators or residents of that state. Pefnsyivania seeks to put a tax of one and one-half per cent. ad valorern bn the anthfs cite mined and as is always the case such tai is going t6 come out of the cofisuf1iet. 1t is one Of those things that can and will De passed along. It will mean an increase in the cost of a ton of coal of about IS cents and 1t is matter of common expefieree that there arc always other increases which have to De added at such a time Sd that while the tax might amount to IS cents there is no telling how much 1t would be when it got to the fellow who settles.
 But the question has been raised aS to whether d state has the right to tax a product in such a manner. 1t is main taihed that such tat falls within the seope of q state ex66rt tax and that such a tax would violate the UhiteI States Constitution, and set an example whereby every other state which has a monopoly in certain commodities woui' be setting iD similar forms of taxation.
 In the steps which have been taken to have the matter threshed out in the fed eral courts the consttutionAlity of the act will be attacked, and it will remain for Pennsylvania to show that it hss a right, as it claims, to tax the products of industries as we'll as the industries themselves within it's own limits without having it regarded as an export tax
 | Inasfriuch as PehnsyivaniA hAs placed l this law on it's statute books it is vel that it should be determined at this time whether it is constitutional or not It indicates the difficulties that that commonwealth is having in order to g4t more revenue and at the same time tn. desire of those from whom the tax vii le collected to escape the increase ir such fdtdens. T6 most consumers tht price of coal is such today that there i! little wonder that efforts t6 balk ever small additions are made.

SOLVING offY FR0BifMs.

Enumerated among the things which have been accomplished by the present city administration was action taken re- gsrdins ths police pension fund in mak- ing it more nearly self sustaining. No claim was made to creating the fund other than putting it on it's present basis.
 IL is true that the fund was created during the term of office of Mayor Thay- CT. and 1t was made possible then by the passage of a state law which permitted police departments of the different cities of the state to take advantage of it's provisions whereby five per cent of the liquor license money was utilized for that purpose. The fund had received the ben eft of such money from the time 1t was created but with the coming of prohibi- ton there was a slump in the liquor li- cense money and with nothing with which to keep the fund goins- 1t Became necessary 10 deal with it in another manner
 Hitherto those who had received the benefit of the fund had not made any ,ontributions thereto. It was therefore plainly disclosed to Mayor Lerou that nothing coming into the fund and with he pensioners increasing 1t would only be a matter of a short time before the Tund would be exhausted and those en- titled to pensions thereunder would have to be provided for out of the treasury H the city.
 As the result of conferences with the police commissioners and policemen an arrangement was agreed to whereby the policemen would pay into the fund two per cent. of their pay. This step was accomplished without friction. 1'he sit nation was fully explained and under stood and the arrangement received full approval and has now been in effect fof some months to the entire satisfaction of those concerned and to the benefit of Inc taxpayers.
 IL Is only one of the many pfoblems which the administration of the past year has met in a businesslke manner and thus only one of the reasons wh, he voters of the city should De anxiou.

ORANGE PEKOE TEA

ton figure out that Palo Pinto and Williamson Counties suffered a crush ing loss from the depreddtions of the sixty or more tons of them that were killed in those counties. What food stuffs rats have destroyed in Texas during the last year would make a very considerable relief of the hun ger in Europe.
 Making war on rats is about the most urgent demand 0f the moment If the tens of millions of them now at large in the state should be allow ed to multiply unhihdered. we would unless saved by some intervention of nature, have a plague comparable to some of the tabular ones recored in our ancient history. But while that is nee essary as the only means of abatins the menace to which the agricultural industry of the state is immediately exposed there will be only a ternpOf
 ary relief unless the work of destruct- ! ion is followed fast by campaign oi ] rat proofing. It is probably not possible | to eXterminste rats to get a complete riddance of them. Certainly it is no' l by killing, poisoning and trapping a.

 If Saturday and Sunday are pleasant he highways are filled with automobiles Travel over the streets oft a city and -osds Of town was never so heavy as t Is under present conditions.

 Nothing should be more impressive to The drivers of automobiles than the large number who are injured or killed for the very reason that care is dsregarded The 'eckless driver Is a menace not only t6 himself and those with him but to every other user of the road.
 There are accidents which can Be chased as unavoidable yet 1t can hardly fall to be recognized that of the many cases where bones are broken and lives are taken there is large percentage that could have been avoided had there been willingness to sacrifice speed for safety and to permit care to replace recxlessness

GOOD SIGNS.

In view of recent developments it is impossible to regard the situation in the south as other than on the up grade It $ realized that there is hard pull ahead but there is some satisfaction in being headed in the right direction, and particularly so when it comes to dealing with long established conditions.
 II we are to judge by revelations which have been made in the state of Georgia there have been years when peonage -ould be przeticsd without any attention being given to checking it. and when no attention would have been paid to such testimony as might have been given by negroes. That situation IS changing and from all accounts it is extending to the neighboring state of Florida where the former governor has '"st been ap- prehended after being away from the stAt6 for d considerable period on the charge of having prActiced peonage. Sig nincant in this case also is that the ih- dictfnent was returned by jury of white men upon testlriohy that was furnished by negroes.

For the most part the speech by Ana- bAssador Harvey in London pleased. That it should De criticized causes no surprise. There afe few speeches that are not but the most unfortunate thing is to have his speech so distorted that he is made to say what he did not at- tempt to say and then to have protests made to the president based upon such incorrect information
 What he had to say about the paftici- patton of this country if tiie league of nations vas Emphatic. He gave assGr- afcs that the present government would not have anything whatever t6 do with the league or any commission or com mittee appointed by 1t or responsible t6 1t directly or indirectly. That was irl- tended to clear up any uncertainty that might exist regarding q possibility that the United States would yet join the league. It did not nifnee words but knocked any dream of that into cooked hat.
 But when the attempt is made to claim that he said that America would not directly or indirectly have anything to do with any association of nations it is way off the track, and the protest that comes from a California league based upon such an allegation is n6t well founded. Protesting against some. thing he did not Say. cannot be expect. cd to amount t6 much. 1t is wasting time and effort and needlessly disturb ing the peace of mind of those whc backed it.
 Ambassador Harvey was careful to confine himself to the league of nations There has Been considerable said con corning an association of nations il which this country might participate Such an association would safeguard tn, rights of the United States and be with out certain of the features of the leagu t6 which this country is opposed. Hat Colonel Harvey included the association of nations along with the league t1ef might have been ground for the proteS but since he confined himself to tn league, and the league only, the protes falls through it's own defects. Not hay
 ing said what he is charged with sayinl
 there is nothing to protest.
