As much as the motor vehicle has
done for this country in the develop

tined to play an even more important
role throughout the rest of the world
where a lack of transportation has
caused ciViliza tion to lag, even in pop.
ulous and potentially productive coun-
tries. This point is made by Cyrus H.

clares that the motor truck pos

promising development in the future
of the industry. He advances the in

motor vehicle in many of the hack

Railroad Building Barred.

railroad building in such countries
Is practically out of the question. eX-
cept on so small a scale and a t so slow
pace AS to offer no encoura ging
prospect for the future. My thought
is that wherever under the sun there
is country where labor is plentiful
and cheap and where there is a soil
and climate for agriculture. the motor
truck and motor bus furnish the an
swer and the solution.
1T is true that the motor bus de-
mands and the motor truck deserves
the best highway for the most eco.
nom1cal, speedy and comforta BILE
transport. But it is also true that
the motor truck can and does carry
its cargo wherever wheeled vehicles
can run. AS in South Africa, so
everywhere. dirt roads may delay, but
they cannot defeat or even daunt the
motor truck. Only developed or de-
Veloping country can afford railroad
construction as business investment.
The railroad In order to make time
and dividends, must have a compara-
lively level route with broad curves.
and 1t costs so much to build and
maintain that it must balance care
fully between added mileage and
heavy grading costs. Where the rail.
road must go through and under land
barriers. the motor truck climbs over
or goes around them.

In discussing some Of the railroad

tanned in letter received by snu

Oniy a SHAFT time ago telegram
signed By chambers Of commerce OF
this section. and OF San Antonio
and surrounding communities were
sent to Governor Moody asking that

nished by the federal and state de-
partments of agriculture, and by
shippers in communities where the

DALLAS, Texas. Aug. 2.-tPl-The
four proposed amendments to the
constitution of Texas Jared i'll at
the hands of a small prcenetage OF
voters Monday Returns from i7u
counties. 20 complete, tabulated
early today showed that with abdtt
81 900 votes accounted for all Of the
amendments had been defeated by
about 5-to l or more.
The boxes unheard from in the ITO
counties which had made reports
were III rural or small city precincts.
The counties which had not report
NJ were scattered and none had
large vote strength.
Tax Gets Attention
The amendment which proposed u
change In the system of taxation
whereby state and county taxes
were separated apparently attracted
the most attention and was the most
heartily opposed.
In the ITO counties the vote on
this amendment tabulated totalied
9l.543 OF which S0075 was against
and sonly ll.4sS for IL.
The proposed change in the judic-
iarv system. which its advocates de-
clared would permit speedier hand
ling 81 cases in courts. received the
most favorable consideration Az the
hands Of the voters, but was lost.
Proposed Fee Change
The interest in the amendments
which would have abolished pay
merit of fees IN certain county Of
ficers. and in lieu permitted pay
ment of straight salaries 70 them
and that which would have per
mitted raising the governors salary
70 $4,000 a year and fixing the
pay Of legislators az not exceeding
1900 a year. seemed 10 attract
about the same amount Of attention
both for and against.

RAPID CITY. $. d., Aug. 2.-(Fl-President Cool
idge today issued a statement saying:
II do not choose to for president in 1929
The statement which was typewriter on small pieces
of paper handed out today by the president the
fourth anniversary of his becoming chief executive of
the United States, without comment.
Mr.. Coolidge had asked newspaper men to see him
at II O'Clock today.
Until a minute two before there not the
slightest knowledge among the presidential staff OF
what would at the conference.
Shortly before IL clock Mr.. Coolidge sent for his
personal senOgrapher Edwin Geiser, and dictated the
brief message which then transcribed onto small
pieces Of paper by typewriter.
After the newspaper men had into the
the president asked them to file past him. He handed
each the small slip of paper with the message.
The paper had been folded by him.

No word was spoken outside OF Mr..
Coolidge asking IL everyone IS

men if there was anything more 10
say.
II Is safe to say that the presl-
dent counseled with no one in pre-
pairing his startling a. nouncement.
Those closest to him IN his official
family had taken occasion on this
day-the fourth anniversary OF Mr.
Coolidge taking the oath "a office
to express the private view that he
would not make any statement or
his plans for another term and
would accept the nomination III
given 20 him without expressing him
self.
II was pointed cut later by those
same staunch supporters of the pres
ident that the door to the nomlna-
tion had not been closed by the
statement in the event of his selee-
tion by the convention.
There is scarcely anything the
president might have said which
could have surprised those with him
more. The mannct IN which he
made his announcement was almost
as spectacular as the statement IT,
self.
Not more thsn "A dozen wG-ds were
exchanged during the entire confer
ence.
As the newspaper men filed into
the presidents private office he sat
looking up to them, smoking a cigur
held in an ivory holder and with
just trace Of a smile lighting up
his face.
He rose before all had entered but
heard more coming in, paused and
then asked:

assured that all we're present. Then
Mr. Coolidge walked TO the end of
the long mahogany table which ~
