seems to be no cooperation among
| them to prevent a tax flood from sweep
ing the state. If just so much money
is needed for a business project, those
in charge of that project set out to
raise that sum-,
But legislators, in this corner of crea-
ton at least, seem to proceed differ
emily. Not only do they seem to be
unconcerned about the possibility OF
taxing the people. but authors Of
given bills have appeared to be at a
loss even to estimate how much their
respective measures, if passed, would
produce. 1t was reported, for instance,
that the author of one revenue bill
sought vital information after his meas
tire lad been favorably received by the
proper committee. The bill fixed a
specific rate of taxation on a commod-
ity concerning the volume OF whose pro-
duction this statesman" knew nothing.
The impression one gains from all
reports, including those from citizens
who have visited the Capitol recently,
is that the menace to the state lies
in the number of tax bills likely to be
enacted rather than in their respective
natures. If it is democratic to turn
loose upon the people flood of taxes
without any knowledge OF the effect,
because Representative AS bill has no
chance of passage unless Representa-
tive A defers to the wishes of Repre-
sentative B with respect to the latter's
pet measure, then some citizens will
be provoked to express a preference
for monarchical rule on the ground that
no sane king, however absolute his pow
er might be, would levy taxes without
first making careful calculations to
avoid destroying or impairing the
sources of his revenue.

A FORTUNATE DEFEAT

The Bexar county delegation to the
state Legislature did not cover itself
with everlasting credit when it tried to
impede the merger of the Frisco
and l. & G.. n. railroads unless it was
guaranteed in advance that a line of
railroad would be built from Brady to
San Antonio. Such methods as were
advocated by the Bexar county repre-
sentatives in this instance are not and
never will be to the advantage of any
community.
For many years Texas has been, be-
cause of its laws relative to railroads,
in the black books of those railroads so
far as building new trackage is con-
cerned. The attempt to demand price
from two railroads before allowing them
to complete a merger is directly in line
with the unwise legislation that has so
greatly injured the state in the past.
No man is willing to perform under
compulsion. There is no better prevcn-
tative in any line of endeavor than the
uttcrarce of threats and the application
of sandbagging methods. The Bexar
county delegation to the Legislature
took the best method to keep a railroad
away from San Antonio that could have
been devised.
San Antonio needs more railroads. It
would be glad to have more railroads
but the way in which to get them is
not by antagonizing the management Of
railroads to the point where it will at
tempt nothing.
1t is matter Of congratulation to the
state at large that the plan of the BeXar
county representative TO prevent rail
road consolidation unless a price was
paid to this county alone, was defeated
Furthermore. it is very much to be
doubted if in this instance the so-called
representatives of Bexar county were at
all representative of their united con-
stitrency.

DISTRIBUTING DEMOCRACY

It seems million years ago since the
sons of man were given that eloquent
phrase, "To make the world safe for
democracy" One might think that men,
bers of the Texas Legislature had for
gotten, or never knew. what democracy
is. But if the proceedings of that body
during the thirty-eighth regular session
represent the Texas lawmakers concep-
ton of democracy, then not few prop
erty owners of this state might wish that
science would discover some sort of gland
that would make them young enough
to be subjects of old King Tut
If the lawmakers idea of democracy
is expressed in the recent proceedings
on tax bills, then it is to be feared that
this state won't be safe for anything
else but democracy during the next two
years.
This does not, of course, apply to every
member of the Legislature. Not only
some of the senators, but-and this may
surprise the most apprchensive citi-
zens-a. few of the representatives as
well, have endeavored to stem the tide
of revenue measures which reached the
flood stage earlier in the session. These
members have succeeded in closing many
OF the flood gates, but not all of them.
What the net result will be is yet
to appear. If the figure of speech may
be pursued little farther, the situation
at present is comparable with that which
would obtain literally if truck farmers
should need more water to irrigate their
crops and persons in charge of the Sup
ply should open the gates without any
idea of how much water would go
through or without first ascertaining the
capacity of each gate.
The authors of the tax bills in the
Texas Legislature do~not seem to have
any idea of how much revenue would
be raised if all Of those measures should
be enacted. Or, if they do, then there

TELL HER so.


Amid the cares of married life,

If you value your sweet wife,
Tell her so!

The bond to which your seal is set;
She's of lifes sweet the sweetest yet

When days are dark and deeply blue,
She has her troubles same as you;
Show her that your love is true !.
Tell her so . 81
In former days you praised her styl
And spent much care to win her smile;
IT'S just as well now worth your while
Tell her so!
There was time when you thought it bliss
To get the favor of one kiss;
A dozen now won't come amiss-
Tell her so!
Your love for her is no mistake
You feel it dreaming or awake
Don't conceal it: for her sake
Tell her so.
You'll never know what you have missed,
If you make love game of whist:
Lips mean more-than TO be kissedi
Tell her So
Don't act as IL she'd passed her prime,
As though to please her was n crime
If e'er you loved her. now's the time;
Tell her so.
She'll return for each caress
A hundredfold of tenderness!
Hearts like hers are made to bless.
Tell her so.
You are hers, and hers alone
Well you know she's all your own;
Don't wait to carve It on a stone
Tell her sol
Never let her heart grow cold
Richer beauties will unfold;
She is worth her weight in gold!

FATE OF THE SPIDER"

e It is only human to crave the worlds
plaudits. The desire to excel is high
sly laudablc one, and it is to those who
excel that man gives the fullest measure
zof admiration. But even the finest in
stincts are easily perverted, and then
mortal praise seems empty, indeed.
s. Pathetic to high degree is the story
. of the fate that befell a young man in
.aNew York a few days ago. Harry
~ Dung, his name was, and he was nick
named "The Spider"-perhaps by him
self. He was a Sumter" one of his
thrilling feats being the climbing Of
.the outside walls of tall buildings with
sfout the aid of ladder, rope or any other
eontrivance. Like a spider he would
crawl up the sheer, blank side of a
building that rose high above the multi
.tudes, while the thousands that watched
him would alternately cheer him and
hold their breath in fear for his safety.
~ Harry Young performed this feat one
time too many. His foot slipped when
he reached the tenth story of the Hotel
ySSAIartinique. on Broadway, and about
30, 900 spectators who had assembled in
the street watched him plunge to his
death

appetite for fame-and fame of a spuri-
saous kind, at that-could cause person

Spider" so often risked his. When he
sputs such low appraisal upon human
/ iife, what is there about him to admire?
