contract, and the amount paid to
him SO far represents about $1,000
per week. However, as Judge Ep-
person has frequently pointed out.
this by no means represents clear
profit as q great deal OF expense Is
involved in the work Of carrying
out the contract.
Great interest Is manifested In
the case for the reason that the
plaintiffs are members OF the Good
Government league of Hidalgo

as taxpayers are probably working
for a test OF the political principles
advocated by the league the main
idea being to decrease taxation over
the county and to aid In a general
program TO reduce public expense
generally. Attorneys for the plain
tiffs are George Clough, Houston.

DR.. w. z. BaSkin, who lives on
the Rangerville road, was a speak
er and declared that his communi-
" had been made a political foot
ball although 1t was the only one
which voted 100 per cent for the
$4,000. 900 issue. Now 1t is the only
community which has not benefited
from these funds, he said.
Carl G. Woods or La Paloma
spoke on the military road, de-
claring that development is going
on along 1t all Of the time.
Mr.. Woods said that a 100-foot
