Gasoline Tax Must
Be Paid; State To
Refund Exemptions
Stanley

AUSTIN, July 2O.-(R)-The new
Accent tax on gasoline must be paid
even though the uses the fuel will
be put to is exempted from the levy.
State Comptroller S. H. Terrell said
today. The tax paid on exempted
gasoline will be refunded by state
warrant, he said.
There has been some miSunder-
standing as to the operation Of the
new law he said, "aS only gasoline
for use on roads, streets and high
ways of Texas is subject to the tax
that used in other ways being eX-
empt. However, the tax must be
paid on all gasoline used. Users en-
titled to exemptions will have the
amount refunded to them by state
warrant"
Wholesale distributors have sc
days in which to file application
and bond for a permit to sell gaso-
line. A minimum bond of 81 ,00C

comptroller UP to a maximum OF
100000.

Did Friends Betray Her?

Whether Mrs. Susie Wing Kao, wife Of the Chinese
vice consul in San Francisco was the victim of an
international ring of narcotic smugglers, as her own
story of the affair indicates, or whether she was the
willing tool of such an organization, it appears there
is a rough road ahead Of the lady and her husband.
Tipped off by representatives of this government
In China customs officials in California searched her
baggage when she returned the other day from a trip
to China, and uncovered approximately $1,00O,OOO
worth Of opium, to say nothing of much fine silk and
laces.
Mrs. Wing Kao, whose first name, Susie indicates
American education at least, says friends packed her
trunks and that she had no knowledge of their con-
tents. If this story is altogether true, the wife Of the
Chinese official will probably come to the conclusion
that all friends are not true friends.

Rapid Expansion Of Texas Cities

There is a census to be taken in 1880. There are
rival cities in Texas-rivals for first place in point OF
population. San Antonio, Dallas, Houston and Fort
Worth are the leaders. Dallas has annexed four su-
burban districts with a population Of 10000, and the
moving spirits Of Dallas may take in addltlonal
suburban districts If their plans do not miscarry.
San Antonio is not sleeping at the switch. Ac-
cording to the Express, from a neat little square TO
six-mile-long boundaries lie equi-distant from san
Fernando cathedral to enclose SO square miles, san
Antonio will spread like the tentacleS OF an octopus
TO take into its corporate limits $4,000 additional res
idents and an area almost equal its present size if the
city commission annexes all of the suburban area in
Guided in her survey completed by engineers"
Moreover, the San Antonio morning newspaper IN
q page one story tells it to the world that the total
population of San Antonio after the annexation is
estimated to be at $4,000. To maintain the position
as Texas largest city the annexation is essential"
Houston is expanding, that is extending its boundary
lines on a huge scale.
1t will be necessary for the city fathers and city
builders who are planners Of Dallas to include all the
towns and hamletS in their county "as within the
city limits" if the community bossed by the Hotdog
Mayor and given a prominent place in the wettest
cities Of America by Golfers Weekly, is to head the
procession in point Of population after the count has
been made by the government enumerators in the
year 1880.

Individual Is What Really Counts

There is something new under the sun. Dean Her.
bert Edwin Hawkes. of the undergraduate college OF
Columbia university made this inquiry at an informal
meeting Of deans Of eastern colleges: DO you want
to know the most important development in present
day education?"
All the deans assembled were in a receptive mood.
They did. Dean Herbert Edwin Hawkes. answered his
own question:
"It is the change from the old notion which re-
garded the subject as all important, to a realization
that the individual is what really counts. Deans used
to think the student was made for the college, now
we know the college was made for the student" All
this led to more talk and the editorial critics of Amer
lea gave the Columbia dean his proper place under
the spotlight.

The Wasp of Texas Politics

Former Senator E. G. Senter Of Dallas for a third
of a century has been known as THE Wasp Of Texas
Politics" He was the first democrat to announce his
candidacy for the office Of governor.
For years and years he has been urging the people
TO vote for a salary increase for their governor. For
years and years he has been for court reform, a nine
Judge supreme court, continuous in its functioning.
He fought the judicial amendment submitted two
years ago. He supported the judicial amendment
submitted to the voters on July 16. Now he is Of
the opinion that the early bird will catch the guber-
material worm.
THE Wasp" has led more fotlorn hopes than any
living Texan. He enjoys the sport and fighting is
his trade. He is a wisp Of a man but stings like a po-
litical t~arantula.

BY DIR. ALVIN L. BELL

The 70 years of captivity in Ba-
bylOn did not break the spirit of
the Jewish captives as it was X
pected by their captors it would.
There were times, however, when
they hung their harpS on the will
lows unable to sing the songs Of
Zion in a strange land.
For this very reason God gave
them Ezekiel to be to them the
prophet of hope and as night brings
out the stars, so through the vi
Sions given Ezekiel the nation was
afforded the brightest hope ever
held before the nation in any age.
He saw into the future to the time
when the captiveS would return to
their native city, and his temple
would be restored and filled again
with divine glory, and when from
this temple would flow rivers Of
blessing not only for their own ma
ton but for all the nations Of the
world.
The River of Life
Ezekiel was given a vision OF the
restored temple with a river iSSu-
ing forth from the altar in a very
tiny stream that merely 'trickled
forth" but strangely grew in depth
and volume as it ran on its course.
When the man went forth east
ward with the line in his hand, he
measured a thousand cubits. and
he caused me to pass through the
waters, waters that were to the
ankles; again he measured a thou
sand, and caused me to pass
through the waters, wcrs that
were to the knees. Again-waters
that were to tie loinS. Af-crWard
he measured a thousand, al it was
a river that I could not pass
through; for the waters were risen,
waters to cwim in, a river that could
not be passed through" In the
last chapter Of the Bible ST. John
records a similar vision Of "a river
Of water Of life, bright as crystal.
proceeding out the thr ne of God
and the Lamb" on the banks of
which crew the tree of Is whose
caves were for the healing Of the
nations"

New York Letter
BY RICHARD MASSOCK

NEW YOR July 20.-A broker some months ago
was sitting at his desk, overlooking the sun-swept
waters Of the bay out beyond the Battery.
AS he fingered idly a balance sheet handed him a
few minutes before by his secretary, it was evident
that some problem marred the contentment with
which he had lately contemplated the luxurious APP
Dointrnents about him.
1t had, he reflected, been a very satisfactory year.
He had spent long hours, it was true, buying and
selling in a market that had never failed him.
But now-he looked at the sheet again to confirm
the total of his profits-now he could well afford the
apartment his wife had selected only yesterday and
for which the lease already had been signed.
