ASK OR A REPEAL
OF ANTI-PASS LAW EXEMPTING
REAL ESTATE MEN AND PRESS
FMR OF HON. 0. P. THOMAS
Bead Before the Texas Real Estate
and Industrial Association in
Session at Fort lVorth.
-Special to The Reporter.
FORT WORTH April 23 Tlie Tox-
as Real TSBiate and Industrial Associa-
tion mooting here has unanimously
adopted resolutions asking Governor
Campbell to request a repeal of the
anti-pass law so far as it effects the
real estate men and the press. The
following 1b the papor relating to this
subject read by Hon. O. P. Thomas of
Abilene:
"The Thirtieth Legislature."
When tliis subject "The 30th Legis-
lature" was 'assigned me and upon re-
cept of the advice 'by Pros. Sargent
I felt at the time' that I could express
myself very freely and fuljy along
certain lines. But after giving the sub
ject more mature thought looking
over the record so far made by the
present legislature considering the
many subjects they had to deal with
and the fact that1 they were serlpusly
Tuindlcapped'Sad tholfe deliberations
matarJoily)retarSed bVtt certiln'irives-
tigation that was pulled off just after
the convening of this bQdy I decided
that if perfect justice was to be dono
.the subject and the same justice me-
ted out to our representatives it
would take some one with a much
bigger brain finer Intellect and better
educational advantages than I pos-
sessed to handle the matter in any
way creditable to himself or in a man-
ner calculated to prove of value to
those addressed. "
However as you have honored mo
on this occasion in the manner indi-
cated and as we Abilene fellows are
not in the-habit of "shying" at any
proposition passed up to us I will en-
deavor in an humble way to put be-
fore you some limited ideas that ap-
pear to me as being worthy of our
careful thought and consideration.
First in considering changed condi-
tions brought about by the enactment
of ueV laws by our legislative bodies
we should If possible get away from
tho individual application of these law
and' Iodic more at tho probable effect
thoy may have upon the peopleat large
and tho peoples Itnerests. as- a whole.
When wo can bring ourselves to do
this we are in position 'to judge Intel-
ligently and" impartially the probable
value or disadvantage of any now law
enacted. "
I am not one of those who are al-
ways looking for a chanco to "jump
on" tho legislature neither do I hold
to tho opinion that tho average legisla-
tor is not just as loyal and patriotic
a citizen to his stato interests that on
an average thoy aro Influenced unduly
by certain courtesies that of late years
especially It has become customary to
extend them by various entorprlBOB
and industries who it is some time
thought.mlght desire to shape legisla-
tion to tholr own selfish Interests re-
gardless of interests of tho great"mas-
ses of our people. The fellow that is
bought n that way 1b too cheap to be
- sent to the Toxas legislature
Understand I am not in this article
seeking specially to dofendtho 80th
legislature but rather trying In my
feebla way to reach a standard that
la fair alike to them and to the peoplq
at largo and from that standpoint
take up and diagnosQ hrjefly epme of
tbV various acts of this honorablo
body t
In order to po perfectly (air with
the Xieidbors of ttw 30th legislature
wo should first take a retrospective
'view ot the last Btato campaign and

"BUSY ON THAT SUNDAY.
A few days ago a farmer rode over
to a county attorney's home and de-
manded the arrest of a neighbor's
throshlng crew that was "violating tho
("Sabbath." The county attorney was
busy pulling weeds in the garden
and suggested that the complainant
go before the justice of the peace In
his own township but he was inform-
ed that the justice was out fixing his
windmill. He was then asked to phono
to the sheriff and have him attend to
tho mattor but he was too busy lond-
lng cattle at the stock yard. The man
was exasperated and resolved to sad-
dle a horse and go for a constable but
his good wife who was busy cannlg
fruit informed him that the boys had
driven the horseB to tho village where
the boys were in line up for a ball
game and tho girls had gone to a pic-
nic. The farmer has been drunk on
hard cider ever since and stoutly re-
fuses to be sobered. Ellsworth' (Kan.)

The bid maid stood on tho steam-

from a backwoods county lnvVlrginla
