Why have juries anyway in Texas courts
In Beaumont a judge fined and jailed any juror who disagreed with him, sparking outrage over the role of juries. The Ranger Times argues that technical rules and court maneuvers obstruct justice, cites Wichita Falls forgery dismissals due to an illegally drawn grand jury, and calls for legislative clarity to ensure felons are punished rather than thwarted by legal technicalities.

Texas Railroads' Intangible Assets Valued at 144 Million
Tax Commissioner John G Willagy reports preliminary 1922 intangible assets for Texas railroads near 144 million based on a 100 percent valuation.

Studebaker Year Sparks Rubric of Size and Pride

Features of Character and Trust in Emerson’s View
Emerson argues character leaves visible marks on a person’s face, body, and fortunes. Concealment fails, boasting fails, and a single glance or gesture exposes a man’s sin. Trust dissolves as vice marks the countenance and foretells misdeeds.
