Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter. 'of;
the president, recently assa lledTthe5
United States senate on chargetof@ at
tempting to suppress free speech.;s,'
Miss Wilson'S charges were. made
before the National Woman'st, party
convention in Washington In speech
on community center activities. Many
of the leading members of this: party
helped picket the White House several
years ago with banners denouncing
the president. - =
District of Columbia community I
welfare work has been handicapped
by senatorial distation and suppteFs-.
sion, Miss Wilson charged. .p> ,i;""ss.
"One reason given in the senntesfor
cutting our appropriation was that
community centers here had been
breeding unrest" she declared. Il
know of nothing that could uphold
that statement, but even granting it.
is it the business of congress to su-
pervise the activities OF. speech OF
those they representa-? :,
at was even suggested the other
day on the floor of the senate that
we should not be allowed to talk poll
tics in our centers. Isn't:that amazi
ing? Suppose we should initiate "a :
nation wide referendum to make new,
rules for senate discussions What;an
outcry there would be. 1t would not
be a lawful proceeding, I know, and
therefore impossible, but would it be
more logical and reasonable for us: to
makes rules limiting the discussions
of those who are accountable to. us
than that they should make rules for
our meetings?" ..,..,..s''.
Miss Wilson then told the woman'ss
party it should disband and that sit'
was only trying to create another po-
litical machine-"a womans machine
with no proof that it would be more
effective than the others. The COM
munity center, she said, was the "peo-
Piles machine" - :.

TIFF PAST FIFTEEN YEARS PROVES
GREATEST PERIOD OF DEVELOP
MENTS IN THIS SECTION OF TEXAS

Ranch, owned by John Hensley. At
that time there were only four
houses in Lubbock County. One be-
ing the sheep ranch located on the
Yellowhouse Canyon, which at the
present time is on the George Boles
ranch, the other three were built
about four miles northwest of the
present site of Lubbock. These
houses were at one time stores or
trading places on the old cross roads
between Fort Sumner, New Mexico,
and Colorado City, Texas, and were
owned by Y. I. Williams and a
by the name of De Quas-
ay.
In 1890 land was worth about fifty
cents per acre-that is land located
anywhere on the Southplains. In
1906, Mr.. Burns tells US that he pur-
chased tract of seven sections with
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1921-07-14

Speaking of progress and what It
takes to show record, we are MAX
ing it.
In the past fifteen years the broad
Southplains has developed from n
desert -resembling scope of country
into one Of the most beautiful and
profitable farming countries in the
world. With three rains a season
our rich, sandy loan will make bet
ter crops than the average country
with a rainfall of great deal more.
In conversation with r. c.. Burns
and j. A. Wilson, two Of the first set
tiers of this country, who now reside
in Lubbock, we find many interesting
things have happened in the way Of
growth and settlement of this coun-
try. Mr.. Burns came to the South
plains in the year Of 1881, and at
that time was employed on the "22"
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1921-07-14

In two miles Of the present site Of
the town Of Slaton, for the price of
$3.50 per acre for four sections and
81 per acre for three. At that time
this was the top price for South
plains land. Today at the very least
figures the same land is selling from
$50 to as high as 500 per acre.
Mr.. Wilson tells us Of trade he
once made when he got n section of
land within two miles of the site Of
the town of Idalou. He gave the
fancy price of $3.50 for the section
with the improvements. He later
sold the improvements and let the
land go back to the State. Today we
are conservative in saying that the
land could not be bought for $50 per
acre. At another time Mr.. Wilson
and his brother went in together
and purchased two sections four
miles south of Lubbock for SIS. Mr..
Wilson then traded his half of the
land TO his brother for saddle pony.
A short time later the brother traded
the two sections off for one mule.
Today the land, If il could be bought
for $50 per acre would be big bar
gain.
Only twenty years ago Mr.. Wilson
traded a pair of boots for two sec
tions Of land and they are worth this
very minute, or they will sell for
total Of s44,S00.
In the year 1891, the County Of
Lubbock was organized. The town
of Lubbock was an old roundup site.
At that time r. C. Burns owned a
section which is today known as the
Overton addition to the town of
Lubbock. This was given to W. M.
Lay, provided he would enter the
race for the Office of sheriff. Mr..
Lay ran and was elected sheriff. No
one probably deserves more credit
than our present tax assessor r. G.
Burns, who gave away part of the
town that is worth, without improve
ments, more than a half million dol
lars, for the upbuilding Of the coun-
ty.
Not more than fifteen years ago,
lots on the square in Lubbock sold
for SIS and $50 each The lot on
which the Lubbock State Bank is To-
Gated at one time sold for $50;
those where the Citizens National
Bank is located sold for SIS In If
teen years this property has increas-
ed from a value of SIS TO its present
value of 100000.
The first cotton ever grown on the
Plains came up voluntarily in the :
Spring of 1889 on the "I-O-A"
Ranch. During the winter months
cattle were fed on cotton seed hauled
from Colorado City In the spring :
this cotton came up and developed
in the sod land without cultivation.
Last year Lubbock county alone GIN
ned and shipped out more than
twenty thousand bales Of this staple
crop. Outside Of the cotton we ship
ped away over one hundred and six
ty-ive thousands bushels of wheat, (:
and more than eight hundred and :
ninety-six thousand bushels of sor-
ghum grains. Besides this we sup
ply the world with Sudan grass seed. :
Our poultry and egg industry
amounts 10 more than forty thou
sand dollars monthly
These are few Of the reasons :
why we boast of our country. We
urge, while we have visiting farmers
