hLs subject. lieing Commissi ot
Kducatlon. it nut but nutui.il tl.at he
nliould talk ulonk educational IIiich
and being in Tex us it was but natural
that ho uae an Inn Illume tin- all-lm-
portmit question that is now before tile
voters of Texas. "Shall the shackle* be
removed from the rural dlstrlcta and
small towns ot Texas so people living
iu those districts may. if they desire,
educate their children at home."
Couviiiciag Argument.
Mr. Cluxton lit not a sensational ora-
tor but just a logical reiisoner. lie
catches his audience in tin- beginning
and they can not keep from listening
•f they wanted to. His argument was
convincing; that if it be good to edu-
cate children In the cities and larger
towns where all advantages are hint,
certainly the country boys and girls
who have such complex problems to
solve should not be less educated, hut
if any difference, should have better
advantages.
ills argument showed plainly that
the great problems now confronting
our people could only be solved by In-
telllgent use of all resources. He
proved very clearly that such intelli-
gence can not he had except through
the channels of the schools. His argu-
ment showed that In a government
like ours where the illiterate count-
ed as fast as those voted more in-
telligently that the only way to make
our government function as it should
would be in the Intelligent use ot
the ballot. This can only be had
through the schools properly support-
ed and properly taught and that this
<-f n not be done where more than
Tialt' of the citizens are prohibited hy
our Constitution from properly sup-
porting their schools.
♦ ♦ ♦
Remove Limitation.
He explained that while the limtta
tion served its purpose when enacted
it had cea.-"d to do so now since con
dltlons h«.I changed and the admin-
istering oi our affairs is done by out
own people. His argument showed
very plainly that country people ana
those of the towns have not been guil-
ty of abusing any of the taxing
privileges that they have been enjoy-
ing and that there Is no danger of
their running away now if the halter
is removed.
Hie argument showed that wealfn.
which we all want. Is the product ol
natural resources, native ability, and
education. Since It is not in the pow.
er of man to change the resources ol
a country or the native ability of its
people the only hope for an increasen
wealth Is in the education of the peo
pie. This can not be properly done
where more than half of the people
Have constitutional limits preventing
their doing It. His argument made It
"eJenr that if bankers, bookkeepers
engineers, trainmen, doctors lawyer*
/ind mativ other enlllrgs needed specf-
*Ht trained men and -women to man
them that certainly the greatest busi-
ness In the world that of farming
needed ;*ti army of skilled workmei
and that the only way to get such is
tt> permit the people to have what they
are wllhrg to pay Tor In the education
of thetr children.
His ^losing appeal for voters to sun
port the proposed amendment for tier,
ter schools on Nov. 2 would melt the
"*ieart of any one who put the welfare
of his children nnd his neltrM ors chil-
dren above the dollar mark.

has no righl to levy any more taxes on
the people than is necessary to pay its
actual vxpenses when economically
ltn-'y-leretl. He said he was a ,fef-
lersonlim and Jacksonlan democri .
standing fur the same principles that
ihey stood for. He said the presen'
('emocratic party no longer stood for

swore that they voted for hi in also.
The grand Jury started lo investigato.

authority that they could not open the
boxes and re-count the vole, lli
that reminded him of the negro who
chased a bear through snow and sin!
denly abandoned the chase and h^
saltl the reason whs thai the tracks
gol too big and fresh. Tie said that,
crowd of machine politician* wer*
afraid they would uncover a bear.
He said the presen' Slate adminis-
tration had wasted the people's mon-
ey more recklessly than R. J. Davis
did In carpet-bag days and that Mr.
Kelt's latest platform pledges en-
dowment of said extravagance and
waste, which includes the Blue Ridge
deal, the Pink Doll-worm session, and
the notorious extravagance of the
whole administration, for it specifical-
ly indorses the Hobby administration.
Exnmplev of Extravagance.
He said the present legislature ap-
propriated nearly a million to pay the
traveling expenses of her otllcials
who ought to stay In Austin and at-
tend to the people's business instead
of riding over the country. He quot-
ed a few expense accounts of said
traveling officials which were paid by
the Slate. He said one Slate Highway
i.tllcial made a trip to California and
returned nd presented his bill of ex-
penses for $5-10.20. He ws gone about
llo days and that several of those
nays his hotel bills was more than
$14.00 per day. Such official business
fomes high he said. He saltl they ha.I
i rented bureaus and multiplied offi-
ces in order to give jobs to the poli-
ticians. He said the State Highway
depart nieni had over 76 employes
drawing salaries from $10,0D0 a year
down. He saltl il ought to he abol-
ished and Its duties performed by tli
itailroad Commission and the auto
tax that goes lo that department
ought to he left in the county wheie
on id to keep up the roads in saltl
counties, lie said he would abolish
the following departments:
Stale Tax Commission which car-
Paaaeaier Trataa.
No .1'' arrive* 10:80 a.
No. 38 looarta — 8:00 p.
rl«H m appropriation of $S,7SS.OO
I'uru Food and itrug Department
which carries an appropriation
oi 5109,900.00.
Hoard anil Water Engineers which
a tries appropriation of $106,700,00.
declamation Department which car-
ries appropriation of $55,500.00.
Industrial Welfare Commission
which carries appropriation of $27,00u
Market and Warehouse Department
which carries appropriation of $17S.-
000 00
I t Sub-Kxp. Stations which carry an
appropriation of $181.350.00.
in addition to abolishing the above
he itl he would trim the excessive
appropriation!! from all the other de-
partments. He said ihere were scores
and scores of autos operated by Stat'*
c.fllciul:- and the repairs and gasoliii"
were paid for by the State, and thin
If he ws elected he would stop said
expense of joy riding, and let said ol-
flcialw pay for It.
He said he had spoken in many parts
of Texas, and on every stump he had
challenged that, crowd at Austin to
show why said above nnmed depart-
ments should not be abolished and
why the excessive appropriations from
the other departments should not be
1 rimmed dand none of them will dare
make reply. He said they know they
cannot defend such reckless squan-
dering of the people's money.
The speaker continued: I have now
shown you by actual figures how your
Stale expenses may be cut tlown and
your taxes lowered without impairing
iIn public serevice. Now If you want
vour State government administered
rflleiently and economically and have
your taxes reduced vote for me: bur
If you want lo pay high taxes and have
■ n •vtravagant government vote for
!'al Neff, for he and Ills platform en-
dor' m the present State administra-
tion with all ot its reckless extrava-
gance and nowhere promises to re-
duce i lie number of office holders. We
■ ui ' 41" hack to democratic simplici-
ty if this government endures.

FRANK KERBY, FA RMER, SAYS
MORE JERSEYS; LESS COTTON;
ENDORSES SALE HERE OCT. 28
Crank Kerby of Forest Qrovo, born)
and reared there and a man who can
cotiMlHlently speak on Jerseys vermis
cotton, say* that the farmers ol' Col-
lin county oiiKhl to eagerly K'&tlier
around the sales arena at 1'ocan drove
Dairy Salo next Thursday, Octobci
28th, and buy the Jerseys iu the sale.
Frank Kerby can speak consistently
along these lines. He, himself, ban
practiced bis own doctrine with ii eon-
siileralde degree ol success. He was
born and reared in the community In
which he now lives and by his own
good management, diversification of
crops and a mixture of Jersey cattle,
is making a success. Ho has bought
and paid for a good farm and not long
ago completed the erection of a sub-
stantial new dwelling on the place.
He ban not done this In growing cot-
ton and worrying over the descending
cotton markot, taking chances with
the boll worm, th boll weevil, lack ot
rain and other chances necessarily
conducted with the raising of cotton,
lie has not pinned hi* faith to just one
thing and the result I* that he line
made money.
For many years he lias raised pure-
bred Jersey cattle with success nnrt
has become recognlted as one of the
successful breeders of the county, now
being a member of the firm of Finer-
son A Korby of McKln:<ey.
He gives It tut his honest opinion
that a few Jerseys on every farm in
(-ollln county would prove a valuable
and a very wise Investment for the
farmers. Ho spoaka from first hand
experience, having practlcod It hltnsoir
and Is not advising a thing that he
does not know to lie practical.
He was In McKinney Saturday anu
romarkod that the l'ecan Grove Dairy
offered an unusual opportunity iu
their salo October 28th, (next Thurs-
day) for the farmers and others lo
buy the best blood and the best In
production among these Queen of the
Dairy world. Ho has looked over the
stuff that goes Into the stile often of
late and says that they are worthy or
a. home In the best of herds nnd would
make mighty fine foundation stock for
any person desiring to get Into the
Jersey buslncan.
Mr. Kerby Is also of the opinion that
a man who wants a milk cow had as
well and better gel a good ono by pur.
chasing a purebred, because the pure-
bred will produce more and her off-
spring will bo worth more. 8he Will
cost no more to keep and feed than
will a grade, he nays.
As a cltlsen Interested In the wel-
fare of the connty and his farmer-
frlendn, he aays that he endorses the
l'ecan Clrovo Dairy sale and hopes and
believes that It will lie a success.
