THE JUDGE is RIGHT
dallas

City Judge Branan is doing right in filming motor
lists who are brought before him charged with failure
to heed the red light stop signals at intersections.
The only excuse most Of them offer is that they could
not stop.
Traffic signal lights like those in use in Dallas OF
very similar to them are in use in nearly every city
in the country. There are few motorists who are not
familiar with their operation. Drivers who are on
streets where there are lights should have enough
respect for the city ordinances to be always prepared
to stop.
A large majority of both motorists and pedestrians
observe the rules. If certain individuals are allowed
to disregard them accidents are almost certain &c
happen. Motorists who are willing to risk their own
lives by driving through the red lights should be fined
for menacine the safety of others. Pedestrians who
fail to heed the lights have no better excuse than

License Fees For Motor Vehicles

Many sweeping changes in license fees for motor
vehicles were made by the representatives of the
Forty-first legislature in the new measure which was
finally passed by the house by q vote of Ill to II.
This house measure carries q so per cent reduction
in license fees for motor vehicles intended primarily
for pleasure purposes and changed the division of
these fees between the counties and the state. Horse
power tax is entirely abolished and the fee based only
on wight. Counties will retain all of the registration
fees collected up to $4,000 and SO per cent of collec-
tions above $4,000 to 100000. All fees above $780,
600 are to be returned into the stat ehighway depart
fnent.
Of course it goes without saying that the support
ers of the house measure are ready for a gasoline tax
increase to four cents a gallon. This will not be
passed until the senate adopts the license fee cut
made by the house. 1t is said that 90 members of
the house have signed a round robin to this effect.
Representative Ray Holder led the advocates of a
large reduction. Messrs. Beck and Baldwin, the for
mer Tarrant and the latter from McLennan county,
opposed any change in the registration fee. They
pointed out that the highway department would be
seriously crippled, that the counties would receive in
sufficient funds for lateral roads and the state high
way program planned by the department would have
to be abandoned. The gentleman from McLennan
and the gentleman from Tarrant went down in de-
feat with the immortal II.
It was a sweeping victory for those who followed
the flag and voted for the measure Of the editor and
publisher of the Lancaster Herald. Representative
Ray Holder is the publisher of a country weekly. He
had a solgan, THE people are demanding reductions
from their license fees. They want substantial re-
auctions and those of us who are seeking these cuts
are representing the taxpayers and not the tax
s~penders." Baldwin Of McLennan shot this message
across the legislative table to Holder: There is a
state wide demand for good roads. How will you
meet the demand and reduce the fees?" Holder did
not evade the issue. Very promptly and very en-
phatically he said. The answer is in the gasoline
tax"
Yes. four-fifths of the house members are said to
be ready to vote the four cent gasoline tax Fur
thermore, should the house win its demand, the gas
oline tax would 60 into effect Immediately while the
license fee cut would not become effective until 1880.
It is in the air, in and out of the house, Those who
use the roads must pay for their construction and
maintenance"

Ey DIR. ALVIN -BEIJ,

BY DIR. ALVIN E.-BELL
The Lord Jesus must have had
the church in mind when he said
to his disciples, II have yet many
things to say unto you, but We can
not bear them now. Howbeit, when
he be the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth"
He said very little about the church
except that he would build it upon
the rock foundation of faith in him
self as the Son of God, and that
the forces of death should never
preer prevail against it. The teach
ing about the church was to be left
to the ministry of the Holy Spirit,
whose workshop the church was to
be. We have this teaching in the
form Of history in the Acts Of the
Apostles and in the form of doc
trine in the epistles, particularly
the great church letter to the Ephe-
slams.
Christ the Head of the Church
Chapter l of the Ephesian letter
deals with the eternal conception of
the church in the mind of God:
According as he hath chosen us in
Christ before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and
without blame before him in love:
having predestinated us unto the
adoption of children by Jesus
Christ" According to these eternal
| blue-printS of the church'S divine
architect Christ was to be the great
head of the church: THE head over
all things to the church, which is
his body, the fullnesS of him that
filleth all in all"
Built of Waste Materials
Chapter 2 of Ephesians tells of
the construction of the church thus
planned in the eternitieS. The mar
vel of it is that it is to be built
entirely of WaSter materials, worse
than worthless: You did he make
alive, when We were dead through
your treSpaSSeS and sins, wherein
We nee walked-sone of disobedi-
ence-children of wrath" Here also
he shows how God worked up into
this holy temple in the Lord" ma
terialS so unlike as to be almost sure
to clash in any structure, viz, Jews
and Gentiles: For he is our peace
who made both one, and brake down
the middle wall of partition, having
abolished in his flesh the enmity.'
So the church is the original melt
ing pot" in which social and racial
differences are destroyed as they are
fifty framed together into a holy
temple in the Lord" upon the
foundation of the apostles and pro-
phets, Christ Jesus himself being
the chief corner stone"
AS the first three chapters OF
Ephesians show the church in the
| Man Of IFS Maker the last three
chapters show it in the practice o.
it's members. Despite the multiple
ity of its divisions into various de-
nominations there is still a real in
her and spiritual unity in the church

and practice this unity, giving dill

litical horizon of the future.
1t is extremely unfortunate that this condition
should exist at this time. Texas stands upon the
threshold of unprecedented agricultural, industrial
and commercial development. Industrial and COM
mercial leaders recognize this fact, but apparently
many political leaders do not; or, if they do, they dis
close q lack of interest in the future of the state that
certainly reflects no credit upon their leadership.
Cooperation by the legislature at this session In
solving the industrial and agricultural problems
would have proved the medium through which Texas
would have attained a premier position. But, unfor-
tunately, that cooperation has not been in evidence.

BEAUMoNT's AVIATION NEEDS
beaumont Enterprlse)

NOHAOA
Speaking of the Beaumont landing field, Manager
William N. DeWald Of Gulf Airlines, Inc is quoted as
saying: "Of course, this small field never . become
a first-class airport, because of its size, but it will be
a valuable emergency or auxiliary field for years to
come, and will be a valuable investment for the city
before many more years"
Mr.. DeWald, whose company provides Beaumont
with air mail service, says no more than Beaumont
citizens who advocate the establishing Of a modern
we'll equipped airport that will serve the city's avia-
ton needs indefinitely. The landing field now used
is totally inadequate. Even if the drainage problem
is solved and the runways are prepared to resist the
worst weather, the field will still be too small.
An airport such as Beaumont should have to re-
tain its position as an air mail station and to take its
proper part in the development of commercial avia-
ton must provide more accommodations than serv-
iceable rllnways, by which planes may land and take
off. And the runways at the Beaumont field, under
favorable weather conditions, are by no means the
best. Airplares should have a hard, smooth surface
for landing and taking off, so that risk OF damage
to planes or injury to pilots and passengers may be
reduced to a minimum. A shell and cinder runway
presents obvious difficulties.
Other cities, looking forward to a much greater
and more rapid development of aviation than has
been recorded in the past, are constructing alrports
to meet all reouirmeents. The landing fields are
safe and comnodious. Hangers, repair shops fuellng
stations, restaurants, comfotable waiting rooms for
passengers and other conveniences are provided. An
I'D to date airport is, in fact. as we'll equipped for its
narticular needs as a railroad station is equipped for
rail transportation.
Beaumont does not expect to duplicate La Bourget
or Croydon. but Beaumont will have to build a better
airport, much better, than it now possesses, If it IN
tends to keep abreast with aviation progress in the
southwestern part of the United States.
