AxESN0T RAISED

Changing the charter as proposed will not
of itself increase taxes, neither will the COM
Inissioners of their own votion have the right to
do so, for this reason
Under the charter, if amended, the rate for
general purposes can in no event exceed SIPS
per $4,000 valuation. This limit has already
been reached; the commissioners may themselves
reduce this rate, but cannot increase it. The re-
naming S1.00 (the same as now can be used
only for special purposes, meaning interest and
sinking fund on the bonded debt. The bonded
debt cannot be increased except by vote of the
property tax paying voters first had Therefore
unless tax payers vote to increase the bonded
debt, the tax rate for special purposes cannot
be increased.
In other words, it is up to the tax payers
themselves to say whether taxes are made high
er or not. IF the charter is amended the effect
will only be to allow tax paying voters to issue
sufficient bonds for public improvements. AS it
is, they have not the power to do so.

VIOLATED TWO LAWS
Mexicans Enter Country Illegally and
Carry Tequila On Their Backs.

Carrying AZ quarts of tequila on
their backs, two Mexicans trudged
on foot for SO miles in a vain effort
to accomplish the dual purpose of en-
tering this country illegally and to
bring struggled goods with them, it
was reported at the district immigra-
ton headquarters here, Saturday
morning by J. A. Burnett, inspector
in charge of the Eagle Pass territory,
who is in San Antonio.
Two Mexicans were apprehended at
Spofford by immigrant guards. See
ing mud on their trousers and lint on
their backs, the immigrant guards
were led to believe that the Mexicans
had carried liquor over the Rio
Grande when they waded across the
river.
The case was turned over to Gus
toms inspectors, who, led by one OF
the two Mexicans, found the liquor
buried at a point five miles from
Spofford. The liquor cache was locat
ed at 3 80 o'clock Friday morning.
Mr.. Burnett, who is on his vaca.
ton. visited the district immigration
offices here, Saturday, on his way
through San Antonio.

HOUSING PROBLEM
 IN TOWN SCHOOLS
Lester Dening Speaks at Parents
 and Teachers Meeting
MEETING OF FORESTERS
Membership of Forestcrs Increasing Rapidly-Meeting of Honor Roll hall NcWs-Other Items.

Lester Deming, chairman of the Berlin school board, in talk to mem hers of the Parents and Teachers as- sociation of the Kensington Gram mar school last evening, emphasized the need for proper housing of the pupils in the schools.
 He said that the schools are far too inadequate to handle the number of children attending them. The Junior High school is working on a double shift, a state of affairs which is not approved by anyone.
 Indications are that next year seven new rooms will be needed to house the increase in attendance. It was pointed out that in one of the classes 49 children are registered and in one school, with two teachers, there are seven grades to be taught. S3 children attending. It is expected that the registration of that school will in crease to 90 next year.
 All the grades average 40 or more children. This is large number, said, the chairman, for the successful instruction of the children. The teachers are working too hard, he said.
 The superintendent and the princi- pal of the Junior High school have been instructed to arrange n continu- ous double session at that school if it be possible. It is hoped that this can be done in view of the fact that 13 children have moved away, four are in trade school and nine have taken out working papers.
 With the 2s children out of the school there is just one seat for each pupil Every room is in use every period and one of them is SO small that it will not hold large class.
 B. K. Showalter, superintendent of schools. he urged the cooperation of the parents at this trying -fme..
 He also urged parents to visit the schools,l declaring that it Is their duty to come and see what is going on.
