SEC. 8. If any section, article or provision of this Act or
what is commonly known as the Co-operative Marketing Act of
Texas the same being Article 5737 to 5764 inclusive of the Revise
Civil Statutes of 1925 as amended should be held to
same shall nevertheless remain in force and effect.
SEC. 9. The fact that there is now no adequate law in this
State permitting co-operative marketing corporations to purchase,
sell, deal in and handle the agricultural products of nonmembers
as is now provided by the Capper-Volstead law enacted
by the Federal Congress in 1922, and the further fact that the
passage of an Act granting to such corporations such power and
privilege is imperatively demanded at this time by the "Federal
Farm Board" and those interested in stabilizing the markets
of all agricultural products in the interest of the farmers through
and by the aid of such co-operative corporations, as well as the
further fact that a large number of those engaged in the production
of the important crops of Texas are being forced to suffer
heavy losses in the sale of their crops on account of inadequate
markets and marketing conditions, creates an emergency and an
imperative public necessity that the constitutional rule requiring
bills to be read upon three several days in each House be and
the same is hereby suspended, and that this Act shall take
effect and be in force from and after its passage, and it is so
enacted.
