FORM COMMITTEE.

Not only were two forcefully-word-
ed resolutions adopted by the two
meetings but legislative committee
TO consist of three members of the
House and three members of the SEN
ate was authorized TO go TO Washing
ton during the first week in December
and deliver the petitions of Texas to
the House WAYS and Means commit
tee. to the House Appropriations com.
mite and to the eighteen Texas con-
gressmen and two Texas senator's.
There was almost complete accord
among the nearly 100 members of the
Thirty-ninth Legislature here for the
unofficial assembly of that body. An
effort of Representative John T.
Smith of Austin to have the meetings
approve federal inheritance tax TO
be levied against non-taxable securi =.
ties found favor as supplemental
resolution before the legislators but
was voted down strongly after Speak
or Lee Satterwhite had opposed it be-
fore the general meeting.

USURPATION OF POWER.

The whole practice of federal en-
crOachments on the states was excor-
tiated by Senator Davis. Out of $31, :
100000 appropriated by the state gov
eminent last spring. he said 1.736.000
represented dollar for dollar matching
of federal appropriations or one dollar
out of every p spent by the state of
Texas.
In the resolution adopted by the
general meeting the inheritance tax
was branded as ''capital levy-a con-
fiscation of canital." The resolution
was drafted by Earl Scott, \. d. Simp-
son. Houston: J.. ]. Hart, San An
tonic: Leon J.. Shield, Coleman: W.
W. Woodson. Waco; w. W. Jones,
Corpus Christi, and John II. Bailey,
Cuero.
The legislative resolution calls the
federal inheritance tax a dangerous
usurpation of power that threatens all
state powers"

Make people who do not think they
are important feel important. This
pointer is intended particularly for
employees in their attitude toward their
workers.
| have just been visiting large
industrial plaut in Pennsylvania, and
was impressed by the keen interest
manifested by the workers who had
jobs ont of the ordinary-thc men
trained TO do special work. Their at
titude is different from the attitude
of many rank-and-filc toilers in most
large works. None Of Ills likes to feel
that we are simply one of the gang.
one of Il crowd, one of mob-doing
exactly the same kind of work as all
the rest.
One duty of the modern manager
who aSpires 10 earn distinction ms a
top-notch producer, is to find and eff
fectively adopt ways and means TO
arouse the interest of the ordinary
worker and to make him feel that he
is important. and that what he does
is important.
True, praise would spoil some men.
But more employers suffer from be-
ing niggardly with their praise than
suffer from being generous with
praise.
The best way TO create within an
ordinary worker sense of his i'm
portancc, his worthwhileness, his
value. is TO arouse in him realiza-
ton of responsibility, 10 bring home
to him the fact that what he does
and how he does it are of great mo-
ment to the whole organization. 1--WE
are not now discussing the question
of pay.
Recently in going over a plant. ]
asked Il worker what he was doing.
he told me he kept such-and-such rec
ords, L asked him what use the rec
ords were. He didn't the slightest
idea. He didn't know why the COM
pany wanted the figures. / sensed
very clearly that he was going through
his daily job without finding in it the
slightest interest. 1t was q task he
had been told to do, and, as he had
to earn his daily bread, well, he was
doing it.
l set the machinery in motion to
have this worker thoroughly enlight.
ened upon the whyfOrc and wherefore
of every figure he had to keep. 1t was
explained to him that the company
could not be managed skillfully, that
the management wouldn't know prop
erly what it was doing if he did not !

Enough volunteer funds have come
in to the Community Chest campaign
headquarters to put the total over the
$4,000 mark and none of the totals
of team funds have been run up. This
information came from headquarters
Tuesday when Il check of the funds
brought in during the day mounted up
into the thousands of dollars.
The funds brought in were from
those who have solicited independent
ly of their teams, from unassigned
solicitors and from people who sought
out headquarters to give their con-
tributionS.

teams in the field are confident of
going over the ton in the drive for
the S42S,062 budget. Highly encourage
ing reports have come il since 200 eX-
ira volunteer workers went into the
field. Word that Houston had over
subscribed its community chest fund
within week, spurred the local work
ers to renewed action to make a
whirlwind finish of the campaign be-
fore the close of the week.
At noon Tuesday there was a gen.
eral rally of workers at the Menger
hotel and several talks were made. Re.
ports indicated the teams are reach

STAGE ANNUAL
RITES TODAY
by United Press Leased Wire

PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 12.-
Smoki Indians assembled here today
from the far mesas and staged their
annual picturesque ceremonials.
Thousands of tribesmen in full
native war paint and feathers, dane
ed the weird steps of their fore
fathers, and ki-yied and chanted for
hours to the savage tattoo accom-
paniment of tom-toms and cymbals.
The Smoki tribe gets together the
second Friday of each June to per-
petuatc Indian tradition and the
sacred rites of their ancestors.
President Coolidge was one of the
few members of the Smoki tribe who
failed to take part in the ceremon-
ials. The President was admitted to
the council of the redmen during
the past year, when he donned the
famous Smoki headgear, a huge
sombrcro hat with red crown and
purple rim.

VLLLA-BUNCH
MAIN EVENT
HIGHLY T0UTED
Semi-Final Pro m j S es
To Be Full Of
Action

With the arrival of Billy Bunch
and Pedro Villa i'll this city this
afternoon. everything was "set y
for tonight's program at the I'm.
perial Valley Athletic club. Those
who have become used to seeing q
rcd hot main event on each card
since the opening of the club, are
not going to be disappointed to-
night, according to Frank Rich.
mond, who states that Bunch and
Villa are certain to put up a great
battle.
These boys fought a six round
draw two months ago, and reports
of the battle at that time indicate
that it was Il great scrap from start
to finish. Several attempts have
been made since that time to get the
boys together again on the coast,
but for one reason or other a re-
turn match did not materializc until
the local club went after it.
Bunch comes from the stable of
Larney Leichenstine s, which also
houses the Goozeman boys and other
topnotchers who have been making
good showings in every scrap they
have participated in since coming
to the coast from Milwaukee.
Second only in interest to the
main event, is the semi-final scrap
between Kid Mex of this city and
Johnny Lyle of San Diego. Mex has
been scrapping in the valley for sew
craI years and has never disappoint-
ed II crowd by putting up Il bad
scrap. He is Il natural born fighter
and is usually in the ring against
man much bigger than he is. For
the past few months he has been
going big at Brawley, Ell Centre and
Mexicah. In Johnny Lyle he has
an opponent who is built on his
own order, and the fight tonight
