She wants a law to prohibit any

prison income for those years. These appropriations
are entitled to be credited with deposits made by the
system in the state treasury during years 1927
1928 and up to Sept. /. 1923. Of a total OF s2,223s7474
An additional loss Of s1,3l3 ,20755 was sustained IN
1926 through a depreciation on Texas state railways
Rusk prison property, livestock, sugar mill and other
cumulative losses. including bad debts OF previous
years not adjusted until 1925.
An additional loss Of $l,736y003!03 was sustained
in 1927 through further depreciation OF property
eouipment and livestock and charging off Of bad debts
and there should be added an additional STTSSl.lS
representins interest and old taxes paid in 1927.

Why "The Delay of Justice?"

In his Town and Gown club address, Presiding
Judge w. c. Morrow Of the court OF criminal appeals
let 1t be known some delay results from the inability
Of the court Of criminal appeals and the supreme
court to dispost Of any appeals during three months
OF the year.
Very ~pointedly 1t was stated an effort to change
this by q constitutional amendment, as applied to
the supreme court, was recently defeated in an cleo
ton. Of course, the people are responsible Tor its
defeat. They voted down the amendments.
That is, the pitiful handful Of voters who had
sufficient interest in judiciary reform 70 go TO the
polls on election day. Furthermore, the paper let
it be known some delay results from the fact that In
many Of the districts OF the state the terms Of dis
trict courts are held six months apart and there Is
some unnecessary delay occasoned by the time taken
by the court stenographers to prepare the papers
necessary for an appeal.
Another campaign Of education appears to be
necessary in Texas. Compulsory voting may come
TO pass some day. Then a qualified voter would be
fined for failure to assume his share Of the respon-
sIbility OF government.
