Practically all of those canvassed on the subject Monday expressed themselves against a system destructive of the scenic beauty peculiar to Texas—destructive especially by marring the beauty of the landscape from an automobile. Just what means should be arrived at to eliminate the billboards and other unsightly detractions along the highways, none of the candidates would stale, off-hand. However, nearly all of them were of the opinion that billboards could and should be eliminated. MINNESOTA PROHIBITS BEAUTY-MARRING BOARDS It is suggested that since Minneso- ta and other Slates in the Union Isa enacted laws prohibiting billboar marring the landscape beauty .nloj the main highways of travel, Tex should not be backward in this 1 spect, particularly in view of the fa that the State has a number of trai continental highways traversing Again, the Lone Star State is t mecca for tourist travel, both in sui mer and in winter. Candidates also pointed to otli evils of the billboards, stating th many were erected on curves and railroad crossings, shutting off or cu tailing the view of (he motorist. This was declared to be one of the greatest of the unsightly billboard advertising evils. DAVENPORT WOULD ABO LIST! BILLBOAR DS “I am absolutely in favor of the abolishment of the billboards,” declared D. S. Davenport, candidate for Senator. “I can’t see that this kind of advertising pays, anyway. There is no way of determining where the ad-ertiser obtains results and I don’t think that he does for the amount, spent on it. There is a bill coining up at the next Legislature and it seems that some plan will be worked out whereby the proposition will be handled satisfactorily. San Antonio is a winter resort and there are hundreds of people who come into this city annually and I think that the elimination of these unsightly signs would prove a great benefit to this city.” T. P. Hull, San Antonio attorney, candidate for re-election as Represen-fa tivc. was more or less “on the fence.” *'[ think that it would be a good thing in a way,” he said. “Some of the signs should be removed and some of them should not.

But let’s say this is the reason that the billboards must go, not taxing the poor fellows out of business.” “On the Stale’s right-of-way, the billboards a n d unsightly posters should be destroyed,” declared T. H. Ridgeway, candidate for Senator. “Removing them from private property contiguous to the highways, however, is another matter. It’s hard to suppose that a bill could be enacted favoring the removal of the billboards ‘JUDGME!
