Man Is Fined 500
Following Crash on
Highway Sunday

George E. Aschbacke-, 40, who
Sunday night was arrested and
charged with reckless driving, Mon
day afternoon was finsd 500 and
costs in a trial before Justice of the
Peace B. L. Cain. Aschbacker paid
the fine and was released. He lives
at Harlingen.
The reckless driving charged was
filed after an accident on the high
way one mile out toward San Be
nito. The light sedan driven by
Aschbacker crashed into the rear
of a truck carrying four men. Asch-
hackers car was demolished, and
his brother, Eugene, was carried to
Mercy hospital with severe scalp
wounds which necesSitated several
stitches.
The Aschbacker wreck was the
last Of three which took place over
the Valley Sunday. George Cham
pion of Brownsville suffered two
broken ribs when his car overturned

EXPECT LIGHT VOTE

AUSTIN, Tex, July 16.5P9-Tex-
as voters went to the polls today to
ballot On two proposed amendments
to the constitution, n of which
wuld increase the gVernr's salory to
$4,000. The other proposal would
provide for a supreme court OF nine
members sitting the year round.
The governors salary has never
been increased since the constitution
was written, and the chief executive
has ben hard pressed in recent years
to make $4,000 pay his expenses.
The suprcme court proposal would
abolish the present commission OF
appeals and would make the court
large enough to clean up the cases
now before the court and keep up
with new appeals as they come up.
Many of the legislators will be
unable to express their preference
at the ballot box unless they cast
absentee votes, since they are still on
the job in Austin after more than
four months Of law making.
Observers predicted there would
be q light vote. 1t was pointed out,
however, that the fewer the votes
the better chance of carrying the
amendments. The State Bar asso-
citation has been active. especially
for the supreme court amendment.

A fine of $4,000 and t1ve years i'm

scope Of the Jones law This Hearst
cartoon failed entirely to take into con-

Jones law which admonish the Judge to
discriminate between casual and slight
violations, and habitual sales or attempts
to commercialize violations of the law
The frequent attempts to use the fact of
the enactment of the Jones law to dis
credit prohibition. because of its alleged
severity, utterly fail when the real facts
become known. Before the enactment of
that law the government was virtually
helpless in dealing with the largest and
most dangerous violators of the Constitu-

JUST ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF The UNRELIABLTTY
OF THE WET PRESS

In characteristic Hearst fashion the
Chicago Herald and Examiner, August 7,
gives more than quarter of a page to a
cartoon entitled Justice v. Dry Logic"
The cartoon is explained in large black
face type as follows:
Here Is a grim drama to be played
amongst us any of these days. It
shows how ordinary, human JUSTICE
is overruled by PR OHIBITION
LOGIC.
A Dry Law Enforcer shoots down
and STAYS an unfortunate youth
on the mere SUSPICION that he
might have liquor in his car No
liquor was found The Judge lets him
off with EIGHT MONTHS in jail and
a FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR f1ne-a
punishment that might be imposed on
common street braWlers. The citi-
zen arrested for toting a pint of
whisky might be sentenced by the
outraged judge to pay $4,000 fine
and to be locked in prison FIVE
YEARS-though he had never hurt
a human being in his life-and leaves
a haplesS family to starve for lack of
his care. If this be JUSTICE, then
Black Jefferies who sentenced penny
stealing infants to the gallows, was
just judge.
This cartoon and its explanatory note
dwindle to just SO much bunk in the eyes
of any thoughtful person. A most weird
and terrible drama has been depicted.
But, of course, its authors never expect it
to be played in real life.
Unfortunately there will be some cases
