Auto Fee Bill Said To Be
Fair to All

Those who are responsible for the auto fee bill
finally passed by the house of the Forty-frst legis-
lature say that it is a measure fair to all. An I'M
portant section OF the bill carries a saving clause that
in the event the distribution Of the funds between
the counties and the states is declared unconstitu-
tional, because of inequalities between the counties
the funds are to be distributed so per cent to the
counties and 40 per cent to the state.
Another important section Of the bill provides that
SO per cent of the funds allocated to the counties may
be used to retire outstanding road bonds, including
bonds used for state highways and further that SO
per cent Of the license tax funds may be used for
construction and maintenance Of the county road
system.
If the counties obligations are retired all funds
may be used for the county road system. In counties
of 1000 or over by the 1920 census all funds allo-
Gated from the license fees may be used in retiring
road bonds or in construction Of county roads.
It goes without saying that the house leaders have
spoken and that a vast majority Of the members are
behind the leaders. They appear to be ready to do
their part to lift Texas out of the mud

Unhappy Mexico

Mexico again is in the throes of revolution.
the storm. which for months has been predicted,
broke Sunday almost without warning, and in the
street fighting in Monterrey and at other points con-
siderable blood has been shed.
That the Gil government is making every possible
effort to stem the rising tide of revolt is apparent,
and it is equally obvious that the revolution has
gained sufficient strength to constitute a serious
threat to the administration. Whether Gil can defeat
the military coalition against him only time will tell,
but to settle the question many lives will be sacri-
ficed, and Mexico again will be plunged into that
sorely s~traitened financial condition which has
wrought havoc to economic development OF the ma
tons rich resources and educational and industrial
advancement throughout that country.
Regardless Of the issues at stake or who wins in
the strife, it is very apparent that the common peo-
pie Of Mexico will bear the burden, as they always
have. For them it means more years lost in achieve
ment of that goal of economic independence which
has been the ambition of Mexico since throwing off
the yoke of Spain, an ambition that has been sub
merged in years of bloodshed and factional strife,
only to reappear after a few months Of peace, again
to be submerged when political factions sound the call
to arms in an effort to elevate themselves into power.
The great mass of American people look upon
Latin American revolutions with indifference or mild
amusement. Only those who know the Mexican peo-
pie, who know their history, their years of serfdom.
through which they still maintained their intense
VIM hiO" NiCA@ oNS oAANNNOHD N
struggles can sympathize with them in the strife in
which they are merely pawns of the conflicting am
billions of leaders.
The past five years have been years of compare
tive peace in Mexico. At no time in the nations his
tory were the people more contented; and no period
has been marked by greater progress. both industrial
" and educationally. This was not due to political
leadership: it was due to the ability Of the people
themselves, to the richness of their native land.
Slowly but surely they were emerging from that ma
tional chaos created by the years of strife following
the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz, only to again be
plunged into the maelstrom of civil war.
To the people Of Mexico the conflict which has
been precipitated is real tragedy. They can foresee
another period Of prolonged civil war, with leader
after leader endeavoring to rise to power on the ruins
of burned villages, pillaged cities, devastated farms
and ruined industries.
With the military leaders in full control OF the
army. and the army the pawn of any individual lead
er who can for the moment secure its loyalty, the
masses are trampled into the dust OF economic ruin.
They deserve the sympathy, not the censure, OF the
American people. They are not to blame. They nave
never controlled their own destinieS and have pos
sassed merely the shadow of that liberty SUCH as
Americans cherish.

PASTINIE
The recently recorded sugges-
ton for a diversion more fascinat-
ing than solitaire has enticed sew
eral letters from readers who say
they were nightly pleased. The
idea is to take only twenty-five
cards from a poker deck and toy
with them until five pat poker
hands are arranged. You get
flusheS, full houses and straights.
The ace is not to be employed in
a small straight, however. One
reader writes that she was success
full twenty consecutive times, but
got stuck on the twenty-first at
tempt. She queries: rs it impos-
sible to set stuck?" No, it iSa,t.
But you must not become ir
tated or lose patience. Even If va
lose, just think of the fun you
have getting a swell headache.

The World and All
BY Charles r. Driseoll
SEALED
By Charlea P. Driseoll

The publishing house Of Harper has adopted the
unique scheme of sealing up the latter part OF each
mystery novel published by it, and offering the read
er the return of his money if he can read SO far and
return the book with the seal unbroken.
It's a clever idea. I ran across it in Albert Pay
son Terhune's new mystery story, 1.-THE Secret OF
Sea-Dream House" Since this book has a pirate
background, it was an unfair test for me. I may be
able to stop in the middle of some mystery story
some day, but it won't be a mystery story with a p-
rate flavor. And it won't be any book by Terhune.
CBy the way. I met Terhune the other day. and he
is looking fine again. although he is 20 pounds lighter
than he was before he was hit by an automobile and
Knocked 80 feet off the roadway. When I saw him he
was still assisting himself with one crutch. but he
will soon be as good as ever.
I wonder if this sealing up of parts of books
couldn't be developed into quite an amusing enter
prise.
If I were a big publisher of Bibles, I'd seal up the
greater part Of Revelation. two-thirds Of the Epistles
Of st. Paul, the Song of Solomon. and most OF the
Book of Job, and return the money to anybody who
could resist the temptation to break the seals. Any
body who could read in the writings of Paul, for in
stance, and not demand the rest of them, shouldn't
be allowed to retain an expensive and readable book
like the Bible.
A complete dictionary is a fascinating book to me.
If I could keep my Websters international only on
condition that I must keep a seal unbroken on any
given fifty pages in the book, I'm afraid I'd have to
surrender possession. Words egg me on to more
words, and when I get to reading my Webster I some
times stay up until a scandalous hour in the morning.
&ss
A good history Of the United States with the
Cleveland and Harrison administrations sealed up
might be a good buy. I believe I could resist the
temptation to break that seal. But seal up the Epi-
|sode of John Paul Jones or the Burr duel.
and I'd insist upon breaking through. Those are
stories with romance and real life in them.
Finally, couldn't it be worked by the newspapers?
Seal a sheet over the comic strips or the sport pages
or the society items, and offer the customer his
money back if the seals remained ~unbroken,

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Ever
hear Of the little cabinet?
1t is quite we'll known in Wash
ington, where one meets these Of
fetal folk face to face, actually gets
acquainted with a few of them, and
gradually comes to recognize a
governmental department as a col
lection of individuals, rather than as
a mere institution"
To most people at a distance from
the capital, I fancy it will be news
that there is a little cabinet.
AS a matter of fact, there is not
except conversationally.
The little cabinet consists Of the
assistant secretaries in the 10 dill
ferent departments.
These 10 are a very competent
group of men, but not more than
two or three of them, at the outside,
can accurately be described as pub
lie characters Of national proper
lions. They all are prominent in
Washington, and each, doubtless is
prominent in his home community
but their names are not familiar
names the whole country over, like
Senator Borah's, or Andy Melons,
or Nick LongWorth's.
CLARK, Mills, Robbins, Mitchell,
Bartlett, Robinson. Finney, Dunlay,
Brown and White-that's the list.
AS will be seen, nobody who is not
pretty up-to-date on his official
Washington can tell them, which
from which.
Don't mistake me. Some Of the
little cabinet members are among
the ablest men in the capital,
Nevertheless. there are two reasons
why the higher-ups in politics gen.
orally steer clear Of little cabinet
portfolios.
In the first place, a little cabinet
Job means real hard work.
Secondly, a political star of the
first magnitude thinks he rates
something fancier than an assistant

"THE SHAME OF THE CITIES
saturday Evening Post).


A quarter of a century ago one of the pubhcists OF
that day wrote a book on municipal corruption which
bore a flaming but not an exaggerated title. There
have been many improvements in city management
since then. but it is a lamentable fact that the same
title would apply with accuracy at the present time to
the recently disclosed corruption and alliance between
crime and politics in some OF the great cities OF the
country. There have been r~efinements in the technlc
of city government, but it still remains a discourage
ingly backward form of human activity.
It will not do to lay all these unsavory disclosures
to prohibition. Long before the eighteenth amend
won't Ioca, noliticaI corruption always centered
around liquor. Whatever the social policy toward in
toxicsting beverages may be, the traffic in their use
has always proved a stumbling block In the pain OF
municipal virtue. There is nothing new about tnat.
Now If NAV be that the crime wave, or crime
problem. in its current aspects, intensifies the dill
entities of honest and efficient city government. AS
crime mounts, a special strain is placed upon ponce
forces. or perhaps the weakness OF police admlnls-
tration are thereby the more clearly revealed. But IL
works the other way also. Obviously we would nave
