The Salary Amendment the problems coming up. ,
Representative Clyde Whiteside,! And by a continuous session of
now at Waco, writes The Banner | |he legislature, laws could be sub-
editor a personal letter, anti winds
up by having something to say
on one of the proposed constitu-
tional amendments to be voted
upon Nov. 8th.
Our representative in the legis-
lature admits that he knew what
the salary was when he was elect-
ed. and he has managed by good
scheming and economy to live on
what the state has paid him. But
in the case of a man with a wife
and perhaps children, and with no
other source of income, it is im-
possible to make out on the pit-
tance now paid the lawmakers.
Under circumstances of this kind
there may be a strong temptation
to accept emoluments from other
sources, however quesitonable they
might be.
With a better salary to their
legislators, it would be more reas-
onable for the taxpayer and vo-
ter to demand a type of man that
could cope more successfully with
jected to more intensive study and
scrutiny. One bad habit state in-
stitutions have now is asking for
more appropriations than they
need, with the idea in mind that
less money will be granted than
is asked for. With longer ses-
sions, appropriations could be ex-
amined with a more critical eye.
and more would probably be
saved than would be lost in pay-
ing the legislators more.
Mr. Whiteside calls attention to
the fact that the State of Texas
has gotten to be a very big busi-
ness, and it would be poor policy
to conduct the affairs of this big
state on a niggardly basis.
More than 1.300 times bigger
than the earth in mass, Jupiter is
the largest planet moving around
the sun. It completes its orbit
only once in every 12 years.

larly. The paragraph follows.

The weather was perfect, with the
lowest night temperature being
down to only 40 degrees. Hunting
is allowed only from noon to sun-
down. which gives plenty of time
for leisure. The pheasants were
hardly so plentiful as last year,
but the party brought home 20
birds per man. which was not bad
at all.
Guy Newman of Waco was here

The base has been leveled, with
some dirt hauled away, and then
gravel is put down before the con-
crete is laid. The material is at
hand and the work is proceeding
rapidly. However, the rains of
the past week slowed down the
project quite a bit.
Mrs. Will Yoe has been enjoy- !
ing a visit of three weeks from j
her mother, Mrs. J. T. Rosser of j
Cleburne. Then Mrs. Yoe's sister, |
Mrs. Dalson Layland, and her hus-

remained until Sunday afternoon.
They were accompanied by their
friends, Mr. and Mrs. Smith of
Cleburne. Mrs. Rosser accompan-
ied the party on their return Sun-
day afternoon to their homes.
