In July foreign buying fell OF alarm

creased rapidly. These factors, of
course, had the effect on domestic buy

in expectation that prices might be

sources was resumed on big scale, and
the present rate is around 100000 900
pounds q month, with commensurate
demand from United States consuming

for the metal are looked for during the
balance of the year. according to reli-

Sen. Gus Russek Of Schulenberg, Fayette county,
was elected president pro tenn of the senate in the
closing day Of the second called session of the 41st
legislature ito serve until the next session." Well, the
next session pushed its face into the picture on the
following morning. 1t was a Jolt for many Of the
lawmakers-not the election Of Sen. Russek, but the
message of the governor.
Sen. Russek is a banker, he is 49, he has been a
member of the senate of the 18th, 10th and 41st legis-
latures and will be a candidate for reelection. He
represents the 18th district, composed Of Fayette, La
vaca, Colorado, Austin and Waller counties. For
many years this district was represented by the late
DR.. l. G. Clarke, who was widely known the state over.
He was a lover of the sport of kings. He bred and
trained kings and queens of the turf. He was a ply
sician and surgeon Of standing and believed In high
class racing and all high class sports.
Gustavus put the worthy doctor away in a primary
contest-by a large majority and this was the finish
OF the movement in the upper house to bring back
the sport OF kings in a commonwealth ideal for horse
breeding and horse training purposes.

Millions for Rural Aid

Lawmakers have voted millions for rural aid. They
have enacted a law by which the counties returning
high valuations will be given minimum benefits and
the counties which return low Valuations will be given
maximum benefits.
A state board of equalization would be the rem
edy. Then there would be uniform valuation in the
254 Texas counties and the constitution would not be
flouted as it is today by thousands who clamor for
the enforcement of certain amendments to the con-
stitution and violate those which deals with taxation
and the production Of revenue for the commonwealth
and its departments.
There are low valuation counties which take from
the school rural aid fund, greater sums than they
pay in. There are counties which pay into the school
fund larger sums than they take out of rural aid for
the support of their schools.
Now the Texas lawmakers know this to be a fact,
a brazen and unblushing fact. Why do they remain
silent "and let it 60 at that?"

Constitution Given RECOGNITION

An immortal document is the constitution Of the
United States. A second immortal document is the
constitution of Texas. Governor Moody signed a bill
making effective in 1880 the law requiring the con-
stitution to be taught in the schools of the common
wealth. IT'S well. It should have happened years
and years ago.
Every boy and every girl should be compelled to
make a study Of the constitution, including the bill
Of rights.
This is a constitutional government. There are
millions of men and women voters in America who
appear to be in ignorance of the important fact.
They f1out the constitution, they kick it aside when
It suits their purpose. they ignore many important
provisions and there are teachers in the schools Of
the country who need the instruction given to the
pupils.

New York Letter
BY RICHARD MASSOCK

NEW r July 12.-Every day, excepting Sun
days, an average of $15.OoO,OoO is carried through New
York streets for the citys banks.
Fifteen million dollars in coin and currency! What
loot a mere hundredth Of that sum would be for a
gang to grab!
But the ~gangsters who walk the streets through
which this fortune passes daily, ~gangSters who would
shoot a man for a thousandth part of it, don't dare
to try a hold-up.
They know that inside each armored truck three
guards ride, ready to pour tear gas and machine gun
bullets through turret Sits at the slightest sign Of
attack.
HAULING CITY'S >
Every morning the armored cars draw up to the
Federal Reserve bank on Maiden Lane, just off Wall
street.
Out Of each jumps a guard, hand on automatic
pistol. He takes his place at the bank door.
Another guard stands outside the truck door. The
third. the conductor, steps briskly into the bank and
returns with a bag containing perhaps a million dol
lars in currency-the days needs Of an uptown insti-
tuition.
The lookout follows him back to the truck, the
door is slammed shut and the bullet-proof car rolls
away to its destination.
There the observer again leaps out, looks around
and signals to the guard inside. The latter takes his
post at the opened truck door and the conductor de-
1ivers his treasure between the two who stand watch.
If it's a big job, such as the moving of an entire bank,
a machine gun is posted across the street where it
can sweep the field Of action. Under such protection
millions are transferred in a few minutes.
THIEF-PROOF
In addition to Withdrawals and deposits Of cash
at the Federal Reserve bank, made daily to save In

handle many millions in payrolls.

tions are taken when the shipment is a $3.50 payroll
or a million dollar deposit. Each car Is insured for
$1,000 900 and the crew is bonded for the same
amount.
There are rs cars in the fleet, 80 Of which are used
for the daily trips between banks. These manned by
some 300 picked sharpshooters, who keep trigger
fingers in condition at their own private pistol range.
Each car is tested under %gunfire. Each mans past is
thoroughly investigated before he is hired.
The fleets biggest job since its first car was
launched in 1922 was the moving Of $4,000 100000 in
cash and bullion from the old Federal Reserve vaults
to the banks new building. The next largest was
the moving Of the Chase National bank into its new
quarters.
Five hundred banks are served regularly by the
motorized vaults, and 5000 industrial or business
houses. The latter dc not even have to make up
their own payrolls. The trucking corporation does
that, too, in an armored room at headquarters down.
