THE EDITORIAL DIGEST
A Concise Review of the Opinions of Texas Newspaper
Editors Upon the Problems of the Day
By GEORGE I. SEITZ
MODERNIZING TEXAS' LEGAL
MACHINERY
Its Committee on Remedial Pro-
cedure and Law Reform recently rec-
coaunended to the Texas Bar Associa-
tion certain changes in the law of
criminal procedure which Texas edi-
ten think would speed justice, save
the atete thousands upon thousands
ef dollars, and go far in restoring
public confidence in the integrity of
the courts.
The committee recommended that
preliminary pleas in capital cases be
made at or before the time the case
is set and the venire ordered . Among
sueh preliminary pleas are included
notions to quash and to change
Other committee recommenda-
included these: That jury com-
upon a defendant's failure to
unify in his own behalf no longer
constitute reversible error; that in-
dictnenta may he amended ss to
descriptive matters, names and places

Judges rather than attorney's quali-
fy the jurors; that a man may be

growing out of the same
ction, instead of having two
er more separate trials as is now
required by law; that cases may no
lower be reversed for harmless error
which in no way could have injured

treme:
Upon the whole—in fact almost
without exception — Texas editors
heartily endorsed these proposed
duagoa. They in no way violate that
fundamental philosophy of the law
which places the burden of proof up-
ou the state and assures the defend-
ing every advantage in the conduct
at his case. They do, on the other
disregard obsolete and anti-
practices which needlessly
criminal prosecutions and
the tax payers of tne state to
ndous, unnecessary expense.
Unfortunately, however, an action
by the Bar Association with
ct to these and other suggested
in the law of criminal pro-
would not be final. The legis-
first must enact them into

...... editor, however, contends
"Public opinion and newspaper

la the meantime voten and tax
payers of the state have six months

naeutatives at Austin the fact that

people sneak emphatically enough
few legisb ktors will refuse to listen.
DISCRIMINATIONS AGAINST
INDUSTRY
Tax authorities in Brazoria county
last week placed a valuation upon
industrial properties which exceeded
by $4,000,000 the valuation placed on
similar properties in Wharton coun-
ty by officials of the latter county.
Oddly enough, the Wharton county
properties are generally conceeded to
be much more valuable than those in
Brazoria county.
Without any reference to the con-
troversies whoch have been waged in
each of the counties mentioned, and
without regard to the merit or lack
of merit in contentions of the in-
terested parties, there is evidenced
here a weakness in the state's sys-
tem of taxation which is certain to
militate against that industrial
growth and development so necessary
to the state's best interests .
Where there is no uniform system
of taxation, and where no protection
against spending orgies of local tax
bodies is afforded industry, it is only
reasonable to assume that industrial-
ists will exercise the utmost caution
in entering the State of Texas
In this connection the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram recently said: "Until
we have a great many more factories
in Texas and a great many more
businesses of all sorts, it is criminal
folly to talk of increasing the taxes
on mdustr" Such an increase would
have the effect of retarding the de-
velopment of the state by keeping
out capital that is so badly needed,
crippling the growth of industry and
business now in the state and laying
a penalty thereby upon all clases and
all taxpayers. Texas, above all states
needs to encourage industry and de-
velopment, not retard them."
Where county tax officials evidence
a disposition to discriminate against
industr- imposin~ upon them tax
burdens which violate everv principle
of equity and uniformity, there should
be some method by which the state
might intervene.
If Texas desires to achieve the
destiny promised by its industrial
possibilities, some such supervisory
powers should be given it through
necessary legal channels.
There is no ouestion but that the
eves of induatrv are upon Texas.
That bein true, the attitude oí coun-
ty, as well as state, governments as-
sumes proportions of the highest im-
portance.
Describes War Days
DENTON, Texas, July 10.—
Four letters, written in the
unique style of the 60'a telling
of the conditions in the South-
ern States during the Civil
War, have come into the posses-
sion of a student of the Texas
State Colle -« for Women (C.
I. A.) and photostatic copies of
these documents will be plucec'
archive collection of the college.
One letter written on the
stationary of Baylor University
when that college was located
at Independence, Texas. In an-
other, the writer deplores the
fact that calico is selling fo -
$15 a yard, and tells of south-
ern girls learning to weave
cloth.

Skeleton Of Indian
Chieftain Uncovered
CANYON, Texas, July 10.—Re-
moved from the place where he was
laid to rest, preparatory to hiB de-
parture to the happy hunting ground,
a skeleton, that of an early plains
Indian chieftan, found in Collins-
worth county recently, will be placed
in the museum of the Panhandle-
Plains Historical Society, located here.
By all evidence surrounding the
dead chief, one is led to believe that
the skeleton has 'been buried at least
76 yean. The flintrock still remained
tal the flint gun that was buried beside
the tribal leader.
A* it «ras the custom to bury
personal belongings beside the dead
of an Indian tribe, a large number
of articles were found by the side of
the departed Indian warrior. Among
them was his bracelets made of brass;
a string of beads made from reeds
and bones, togeth >r with other beads
hung around his neck; in the grave
there were three brass buckles and a
pair of Spanish bridle bits; a mirror
was resting on his breast and brass
rings were hanging in his ears.

Out of the hysteria of attack and
defense which still surrounds the
passage of the 1930 Tariff Act have
arisen some gems of purest comedy.
Leading the list is the explanation
offered by Representative Will Wood
of Indiana regarding the stock mar-
ket crash that attended the bill's
signing. According to Mr. Wood, the
disaster was deliberately created by
certain big financiers who were
opposed to the tariff ard had pre-
dicted dire effects if it passed. Since
the crash came too late %o have stay-
ed Mr. Hoover's approval of the hill,
Mr. Wood thinks that these financiers
brought on the catastrophe simply
in order to say afterwards, "I told
you so." The author of this explana-
tion is so wrought up about it that
he demands an investigation of the
stock exchange with the purpose of
exposing those culprits who would !
risk a nationwide panic rather than
prove themselves poor prophets!
That Wall Street and the "Reds"
have fallen under the suspicion of
the same body at the same time
promises entertainment. The house
of Representatives is now investigat-
ing communistic activities in the
United States. A writer in a New
England paper solemnly accuses
Soviet Russia of putting the Grundy
Bill through in order to demolish
American prosperit". Maybe Con-
gress will investigate that also. The
more rings to a circus, the more fun
for the spectators.

Production of Nitrate Fertiliser in
Sun-Parched Desert Ia
Speeded Up.
AMERICAN engineers are helping
to revolutionize an Industry up
in the sun-parched mountains of
northern Chile.
IJhe application ot modern methods
of "mass production is making the
Chilean nitrate Industry a mode! of
20th century efficiency, according to
Conrado Ríos Gallardo, fowner Chilean
Secretary of State, who was a reccnt
visitor to the United States before be-
aming bis country's ambassador to
Para.
With the elimination of waste and
the uae of labor-saving machinery, a
marked decrease, he said, has been
made ia the coat of producing the
fertiliser under the difficult conditions
found lu the arid desert.
"Novar before haa the nitnte indus-
try occupied aa strong a position as it
does today," declared Ambassador
Gallardo. "Not only have the mechani-
cal pro nam been váatly improved,
bat the production has been stsbillzed
to the benefit of both the producers
and the consumers of this fertiliser."
The Chilean Government has taken
an oaafotU part i «he Improvement
and has encouraged new American
processes lor mining and refining the
fertiliser.
At present nearly one-half of the to-
tal capital invented in the Industry Is
owned in the United States, pointed
"There should be room in the
Congressional Record for a Babe
Ruth as well as a Speaker Longs-
worth; for Lindbergh and Byrd as
well as for President Hoover." This
is the opinion of Representative John
J. Boylan of New York, who is con-
ducting a vigorous campaign to
modernize the Record. Furthermore,
there should be room for cartoons.
For cartoons and comic strips, Mr.
Boylan says, often contain more wit
and wisdom than the orations which
appear in the Record. It was a re-
fusal to allow the Representative to
have a cartoon reproduced in the Re-
cord which aroused his indignation.
"The Congressional Record," said
Representative Boylan, "should re-
flect the manners—good or bad—the
customs, the habits, the inventions,
the art, the thought, the o-inions,
the ups and downs of American life
and civilization."
That Bounds like a pretty large
order. However, if Mr. Boylan knows
how to deliver it, we're all for him.

This picture ahewa two types ef eonveyora In uae In the Rouge Plant of th«
Ford Meter Company.
AN ENDLESS chain conveyor,
three and a halt to four miles
k long,, said to be the longest In
the world, ¿as just been completed at
the Rouge Plant of the Ford Motor
Company at Dearborn, Mloblgan. On
It parts of Ford care In the process
ot manufacture are transported from
one building to another and completed
parts are carried direct to railroad
cars tor shipment to branch assembly
planta.
The conveyor, which carries Its
cargo on suspended hooks, has a dally
capacity for 300,000 parts weighing
over 2,000,000 pounds, it supplants
freight cars and trucks which have
been used for the transfer of many
parts from one point to another In the
Ford plant
This longest conveyor of them all is
a development of the Ford polk>y that
nothing should be done by manual
labor that could better be done by
machine.
In the early days of his manufactur
tag career, Mr. Ford devised the as
sembly Une—a moving track on whlcl
cars In the process of assembly wem
to the workmen Instead of the vork
men carrying parts to the car. Th<
assembly line, perfected In many ways
is now used by automobile manufac-
turers generally.
The value of the conveyor In redui
ing physical labor, In saving time, li
preserving system and in cutting cost'
soon became apparent and its use war
extended to other purposes about the
plant. Now there are literally miles oi
conveyors of various types in the Foro
plant. Some of them carry parts froo
one building to another and are care
fully synchronised so that the part*
arrive at precisely the right moment
and in the exact spot where they are
needed. Others transport red hot Id
gots of steel weighing nearly a tor
each. Still others move outgoing ship
ments.
If It were not for the conveyors, sc
cording to officials of the Ford Com
pany. mass production would not be
possible on its present scale.
