Thoughts on Texas politics and taxation reform
J R Kanes reflects on the Southwestern Waterworks Association trip to Austin and critiques lobbyists and lawmakers. He criticizes state payroll growth, bills expanding municipal employment, and proposes funding senior junior colleges by redirecting university two-year programs to raise high school junior colleges. He urges careful consideration of education and tax policy.

Vision and roads shape Texas progress in February tribute
The piece argues for vision in government and value for tax dollars, lauding leaders like Frank Lanham and Joe Burkett while praising highway planning in Texas. It notes February births of Washington Lincoln Edison, comments on the Limestone county road ruling, and reports on child labor amendment rejection in several states.
Salvation by legislation not the path to virtue
The piece argues that laws cannot make society righteous and that true progress comes from internal reform. It contends that hearts must be changed at home, in schools, and in churches, not through statute, and warns against reliance on propaganda by organized minorities.
Ideas Drive Progress Through Action and Persistence
The piece argues that ideas alone pale without effort to apply them. Progress comes from starting tasks, testing aims, and persisting despite failure. It cites farmers, businesspeople, and editors as examples and ends with a teasing ad for a sale on used Singer sewing machines this Saturday.
