FIGHT ON POSTAL
BILL IS FORECAST
Sterling Expects Early Vote,
But Other Senate Leaders
Are Not Optimistic.

Senate leaders are planning to keep
the postal pay and rate bill almost
continuously before the Senate, after
it is taken up next Thursday, until
final action can be had on it. The
Senate voted yesterday, 81 to 9. to
make the bill a special order of busi-
ness Thursday. Eight Democrats and
one Republican opposed the motion.
1t was at first announced that 10
votes had been cast in opposition, but
later Senator Gerry, Democrat, Rhode
Island, had the secretary change his
vote from mo" to aye" explaining
that his ballot had been enormously
counted.
Chairman Sterling of the post of
fee committee said the vote was an
indication of the sincere desire" of
a great majority of the Senate for
sarly action. He expects final vote
in the near future, but Senator Moses
and other leaders are less optimistic.
They know that sharp fights will be
made on many features of the postal
rate increase section, and expect it to
be amended in several important par
ticulars.
Fight by Publishers Looms.
Publishers of newspapers and pc
riodicals are expected to lend vigor-
Gus support to the amendment Of
fered by Senator Oddie, Republican,
Nevada, to eliminate the 1-cent-a-
pound increase proposed on second
class mail matter subject to first and
second zone rates.
Users of third-class mail are pro-
testing against the section of the
&n under which the weight limit in
that class would be reduced from
ei.At to four ounces, and the larger
users of parcel post are making a
fight against the service charge of 2
cents on each package proposed for
fourth class mail
The pending measure is designed
in the nature of 4 stopgap to take
care of postal salary raises until
congressional committees can report
out bill for rate increases based on
further and more intensive study of
the operation of the rates in the va
rious classes

RANGERS OUSTED
BY TEXAS COURT.
Permanent Injunction Against
Operations Granted-WiII
Appeal Case.
BY the Associated Press.


AUSTIN, Tex, January 1.-THE
Texas Rangers, heroes of fact and ffc-
tion for the last 90 years of the his
tory of the Southwest, are threatened
with elimination.
Under a district court ruling that
the ranger law. dating from 1885.
with recognition by State constitu-
tions in 1S45 and 1861, and amend
ments in 1901 and 1919 is unconsti-
tutional, the rangers yesterday were
enjoined permanently from officiating
as State policemen.
The decision will be appealed to
the Supreme Court, but meanwhile
the rangers are idle for the first time
since a doughty little band was or
ganized to mold from the wilderness
of the Southwest a peaceful. pro-
tected place for the Republic of
Texas.
Made Notable Record.
Through the various vicissitudes
through which the Lone Star State
has passed as Mexican dependency,
rebel nation, republic and State, the
rangers have kept pace with prog
ress, always as fearless, untiring
straight shooting men, devoted tC
their task of preserving order.
The rangers originally numbered
15O, never exceeded 1000, and that
in Civil War days, when Indians and
outlaws from North and South swept
into the Southwest, and now muster
but so men.
Yet that little band has inherited
and kept growing a, tradition so
glorious that the very appearance
of a handful of rangers in the most
disturbed communities has been suf-
ficient to bring order from chaos, as
demonstrated recently in the oil
boom days of Ranger, Breckenridge,
Burk burnett and Mexia.
During the 1922 railroad strike it
required a company of State militia
men to control one town, while the
80 rangers divided 40 among them

of Get your man. State officials

other State constabularies.
