THE SATTERWHITE RESOLUTION

On several occasions THE LIGHT has
invited attention to the tendency OF lat
ter-day American lawmakers to pro-
pose constitutional amendments as 4
means OF accomplishing what could be
more properly and easily done through
the medium OF mere statutory enact
mentS. Now comes a special case OF
that ription--Special in that it indi-
Gates the provocation under which ad-
vocates OF constructive laws have to
labor.
As every widc-awake citizen Of Texas
knows, the present session of the Texas
Legislature has been devoted largely to
attempts to saddle heavy tax burdens
upon the property owners OF this state.
Well-inforlned people know also that
tax burdens are already CALLING to some
counties because rates are not Iniiorm
throughout the state Representative
SatterWhite undertook IN relieve the sit
uation by introducing bill empowering
the state tax board to equalizc the I'd
valorcm rates.
Here was an opportunity for the
state. The measure called Tor Justice,
for the abandonment of discriminatory
practices. But the House showed by
its vote that it did not want the tax
burdens cquitablv distributed. 1t re-
fused to enact the Sattc;whitc bill.
A few days ago this same representa-
tive undertook the task OF cqralizing
tr,-es ~, y diffaroot ,,,,,- I. 4bo TJo,-o
did not want the taxes eQiitablv dis
tributed and that was the only logical
conclusion rational man could draw
from its vote-then Mr.. Satterwhite
would try to have the matter put up
to the people He couldn't appeal from
the decision OF the House on his first
bill. The only way OF bringing before
the people the issue created by the in
PRODUCTION OF that measure was to get
favorable action in the Legislature on
a resolution for the submission of an
amendment TO the state constitution.
Accordingly. Representative Sattcr-
white introduced resolution for con-
stitutional amendment creating state
board of tax equalization.
Isn't this fine tale to tell the world
The House refuses to serve the inter-
ests of the state by means OF simple
statute, and the only hope of getting
that service performed lies in the re-
mote possibility OF securing favorable
action on resolution calling for an
amendment to the organic law! And
such favorable action must be taken, it
at all, by the very body that has already
indicated its opposition to equitable taxa
ton.
Suppose the House should vote to
submit the proposed amendment. Then
the people would have to decide, not
merely whether taxes should be equal
lied, but whether the job. should be
done in an improper way or else not
at all. In order TO get something that
should be theirs without the necessity
of any action whatever on their part,
or even the expression of a wish they
would have to become accompliccs i'll
the indefinable crime of impairing the
character OF their states constitution.

1t is declared that 4 change has come

he IS said 10 have made a partial ex-
PLANTATION of the expenditure OF the
$4,000 1t cannot be said that the cX-
PLANTATION will add to the general cs-
tccm in which the gentleman is held
In fact, he is, if the statements OF his
explanation are correct. either very
foolish man or man who uses repre-
hcnsiblc means to gain an end In
aSmuch as 4 man who uses reprellen-
sible methods is foolish always, it may
be that both charges would lie against
Mr.. Anderson.
It is reported from the office OF the
district-attorney in New York that Mr.
Anderson has said that he used this
$4,000 for the purpose OF influencing
the employees of wet newspapers. In
other words he sought to corrupt these
people to the degree that they would
be traitors to their employers and
would seek to minimize the efforts Of
the wet newspapers against the work
OF the Anti-Saloon League.
If Mr.. Anderson had the idea that
any employee of any newspaper could.
for any effective length of time in
fluence the policy of the publication
on which he was employed, he was
exceedingly simple minded. Ii there
is any one thing connected with the
publication of a newspaper where an
cmploye is absolutely powerless and
completely devoid of influence it is in
the outlining OF the policy OF that news
paper on such question as prohibi-
ton. The attitude of the paper on
such matter would be dictated by the
owner or publisher and that person
would inevitably catch and instantly
correct any departure from the line OF
policy he had determined that the
paper should follow. In this respect

In the second place, THE LIGHT does
not believe that Mr.. Anderson would
find it possible to corrupt. to any APP
preciablc extent, the employees of any
newspaper.
The standards OF loyalty and OF honor
arc as high or higher in the average

bly, be in any other calling on earth
There are, of course. dishonest people
in the newspaper profession as ther,

number is. comparatively speaking, mi

Mr. Anderson might have been abl'
to find some persons who would tel
him what the newspaper was doing
or going TO do in relation to the pro
iiib;tion question, but this information
would not be worth paying for. be
cause the paper would in its own tim,

meme court decision interpreting

can Constitution of 1917. which play
I'd an Important part in last sum-
mer's pre-recosnit.on conference.
The decision, although it does not
touch upon that part Of Article ~
which nationalizes sub-soil petroleum
rights, sets forth, broadly speaking,
the principle that although foreign
ers may comply fully with the pro-
visions of the law affect the acqui-
sition of land and water rights in
Mexico, it is within the power OF
the ministry Of foreign relations to
refuse to sanction their titles if such
refusal is deemed to the national in
terest.
1t also places upon that ministry
the immense responsibility of regu-
latng in the interests of the re-
public the development by foreign
capital of the immense sources of
national wealth comprised within the
terms land and water rights, and in
measure regulating the investment
of foreign capital in Mexico.
Court Finding.
The courts finding, regarded as be-
ing of superlative Importance to for
eign interests in Mexico, especially
since it is accepted as a possible
indication of the bench's attitude
toward foreign oil rights, came as a
result of an appeal by the Bacis
Gold and Silver Mining Co., Ltd, Of
Durango, against acts of the min
istry Of foreign relations alleged to
be in violation of Articles IA and
q, Fraction 1, of the constitution.
The company declared that in 1896,
while the Bacis river was under the
jurisdiction Of the Durango state
government, it secured concession
to use the waters of the river in
operating power plant, and when
the Bacis passed under federal juA
isdiction it complied with all legal
requirements to have the concession
by the federal government.

GIVES ADVICE
TO WOMEN OF
MIDDLE LIFE
Tells Women of 40 to Look at
Mirror Before Adopting
Dress of Sixteen
By Marian Hale
NEA Service Writer

New York, Nov. 6.-"4ou who are
past 40, look into your mirror and
count 10 before following the fash
ion dictates Of the girl of 49,"
This is the advice given to women
by Mrs. Albert H. Hildreth of SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, former president of the
New York State Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs.
The sixteen-year- old is the arbiter
of fashions today, she believes, and
in spite of their experience and their
accumulation of wisdom, women of
middle age are easily wheedled into
fashions by the fappcr- just be-
cause they don't think.
Mrs. Hildreth believes that the
beauty Of the woman of 40 is as dis
tinctive as that of the sub-deb, but
the sartorial requirements of the bud
and the blossom are different.
''The woman of 40 need only be as
firm about what she wants as the
g'rl Of 16 is" she states, ITO get a
fair deal from Fashion.
Mind Set
youth doesn't compromise. The
flapper flatly accepts or discards q
fashion. She makes her demands so
nsistent that he hammers them in
to the consc ousness Of fashion de-
sigUcrs.
Older women know what they
want .iust 5 well the flapper does,
but they accept substitutes"
Mature women may note the die
tate of the young girl in dress, but
they should use discretion in follow
ing them, Mrs. Hildreth thinks.
/ But don't go to the other eX-
tremc,' she cautions, land say that
every style dictated by the young
girl is foolish. This is poor sports
manship. Saleswomen tell me that
the average young girl, allowed Ito
select her own frock, will inevitably
select simple one. 1t is the moth
ers who want the frills and the fur
bellows.
"The young girl keeps knowing
eye on line and color effects. She
knows how to give certain individ-
ual touch to any frock
She's Right
"The flapper is nine-tenths right
in her adoption of simplicity bu1
mother must remember that this car

has lost its slenderness.
"New shades are very fascinating
too, but they also call for discretion

PEOPLES FORUM
A PIONEERS BIRTHDAY.

Fate thought it fit and seemly to
bestow on Miss North Dakota and
Mrs. John P. Dunn an identical
birthday. For North Dakota it was
a lonely birthday. No troop Of pio-
neer pals had She to swoop down
upon her with gifts and flowers, to
take her breath away by surprise
party on her birthday, as was the
happy experience of Mrs. Dunn last
Friday afternoon.
OF her sixty-cight birthdays, Mrs.
Dunn has passed fifty o. them in
North Dakota, an average lifetime
Of rich experience and memories.
Even at this far-away date, one
thrills .involuntarily with pleasurable
emotion on hearing about the first
N. p. train that pulled,-into Bis
marck," on June Z, 1873. As a bride
ct seventeen, Mrs. Dunn, with her
husband, rode cup on horseback to
watch eagerly for that same train.
One can easily vizualize the motley
crowd, and hear in Imagination. the
noisy greetings.
In that same town, fifty years lat
er, June Z, 1923, again, Mrs. Dunn
