warned his hearers 70 beware of prom
ises which are not fulfilled. He re-
counted his and Commissioner Lam
bert's refusal to vote for an addl-
tional loan Of 100000 because, he
declared. awhen an administration has
spent all the available revenue of the
city it is time to call a halt. He
paid tribute to Commissioner Pteitfer
as an "honest man."
"I've refrained from talking about
my opponent Herbert PEARS" Com
missioner Wright said. "but l have
this to say. if he cleans himself up as
clean as Houston street is, he will
be able to get by. I'll never place slot
machines where school children can
play them.
Commissioner Wright then pointed
to the excellent records made by the
police and fire departments. assert
ing that San Antonio has the maxi
mum fire credit for the state.
VIII Equalize Values.
The speeches of Frank II. Bushick,
. candidate for tax commissioner and
Commissioner Ray Lambert were
brief. owing to the fact that the
"norther" was getting considerably
colder. Mr.. Bushick promised that the
candidates on the Peoples Ticket will
be the servants of the people. that tax
values win be equalized and that every
man will be given equal consideration.
1T is our duty, in the tax Office

BANDERA RESIDENTS
THREATEN TO ASSESS
COUNTYAT l DOLLAR
Finally Petition Legislature
to Pass Lackey Equal
izatioH Bill.

Bandera, Tex, April 14.-At a mass
meeting held at Baidera, Saturday
night, representative citizens of Ban
dera county threatened to assess their
property at 81 next year if the State
Legislature should fail TO pass the
bill proposed by Sam c. Lackey OF
Cuero. County Judge ]. L. Mans
field presided at the meeting.
Lively discussion was provoked by
the introduction of a resolution BY
Frank Montague, a prominent stock
man Of Bandera. The petition was to
the effect that inasmuch as Bandera
county was not receiving justice that
the assessment of 81 should be made.
The question was raised as TO how
the county could run on that amount.
Mr.. Montague replied that the ranch
men had been able to conduct their
business without money during the
last year.
An agreement was finally reached
whereby no action would be taken il
the Legislature acted favorably upon
the following petition:
1--WE, citizens and taxpayers o.
Bandera county, in mass meeting a.
sembled this 14th day of April. 192si.
herewith call attention to members az
the Legislature TO the following facts
d.. "Bandera county has for the past
ten years assessed its property for
state taxes at 80 per cent to IS per
cent of actual value. By contrasting
these assessments the value put on
our property by the census of 1870
with the assessment values and the
census values of the non-paying coun-
ties in Texas, we find we are paying
from three TO four times more taxes
to Texas, relatively, than they pay.
Because Bandera is relatively a
poor county Of small taxable values,
we are compelled TO assess on high
proportion of those values to get
money TO run the county, and because
county Assessments are also state as
sessments, we are compelled TO pay
relatively greater state taxes than
many richer counties.
Therefore, we petition the Legisla-
ture to pass the bill proposed by the
Honorable Sam c. Lackey. providing
system Of equal and uniform assess
ments IN the aggregate as between
counties in order that all citizens OK
Texas may pay their state taxes on
uniform assessment, and so paying
equal ard uniform taxes" 81.

GO AFTER TAXES
Blanket Assessments Levied In 1917
Income Discrepancies.

Blanket assessments have been
levied against those whose income tax
payments for 1917 do not tally with
the amount of payment required as
shown by income tax reports for that
year. according TO J. W. Bass. OF
Austin, collector of internal revenue
who was in San Antonio Saturday,
Blanket assessments were made in the
cases of those who refused TO sign
time waivers. or who did not petition
for abatement or return of taxes. and
thereby automatically stave off the
effect of the statute of limitations.
an 1917 when the public was UNI
accustomed to making out income tax
reports. many incongruities in the
amount due to the government aud in
the amount paid have been noted. The
income tax department at Washington
has been so busy in keeping up to
date on the returns that il was not
until this year that an audit of the
reports has been completed" Mr..
Bass explained.
"Since no legal action could be
taken in cases after March 10, where
the government was due money. the
department made hurried audit OF
the income tax reports for 1917 in
order to avoid the statute of limita-
tons. Next year. the same condition
would apply to the taxes for 1918"
Mistakes in 1917 were excusable,
Mr.. Bass said. The government is
not prosecuting the cases but is look
ing toward an adjustment. The mis-
takes were honestly made, Mr.. Bass
said. Blanket assessments were
made necessary by the hasty audit
of the reports and in many instances
Investigation will prove that the taxes
have been paid in full.

sloner Pfeiffer said. is that Paragraph
/. under all rules of construction
should prevail.
Granting that this contention is
correct" the tax commissioner said,
1.-THE mayor must then concede that the
commission has the authority to name
these officers. For Section 6, of the
charter which, under his rules of con-
structlon would prevail over Section
II, provides that all Officers of elec.
ton shall be selected by the council
and shall be qualified voters of said
city, etc."
Commissioner Pfeiffer holds. how
ever. that his action in approving the
selection made by the commission last
Monday is final and that the mayor
would not have any standing in court
on that proposition.

When the sun spots do not appear

COOL SUMMER IS
DUE To LACK OF
SPOTS ON SUN

A summer of freak weather is in
prospect, because of solar conditions
government weather experts and
scientists pedict. after an extensive
study of conditions ON the sun.
Repeating statements that the sun
is taking a vacation" just as it has
every IL years for long time, scien-
fists at the Smithsonian Institute and
weather bureau said that "topsy tur-
Wy weather conditions" would prevail
all this year.
The sun will probably be back to
normal next year, they said.
Far from Normal Summer
Scientists do not foresee a summer
less year." such as prevailed i'm 1916,
when the people wore oyercoats in Jul
ly and snow and frost were common
i'm dog days. They do not know what
to predict except that the weather
will not be that of normal summer
They do not know whether the sun
is wholly TO blame. Being able to
assign no other cause, however, they
rest their case on the known fact that
the sun is not behaving normally this
year.
The cold spring in the United
States unusually hot weather i'm Eur-
ope. unusual hurricanes in the Pacific,
a tornado and cloudburst in Washing
ton, ID. c., these are all evidences, the
scientists say, of the unsettled condi-
lions which make weather forecasting
well nigh hopeless.
As nearly as scientific men can ex-
plain it, what happens to cause such
conditions is this:
Every eleven years during the 200
years covered by reliable data, the sun
has ceased developing ''sun spots"
