Editors Examiner:
The pension board has made a rul-
ing reducing the old-age pensions, in
a lump sum way of $6 on each pen-
sioner. While it may be that the
board was justified in reducing the
appropriation, yet it erred in making
it in a lump sum way; it should have
been by a per cent, and I hope the
board will reconsider their error and
yet make the reduction by the per
cent plan. This would make it more
even on all parties concerned, for
at it is now it cuts out all pensioners
up to $6 and cuts some other pen-
sioners to the pitiful sum of $1 per
month.
I think further . that Governor
O’Daniel is committing a grievous er-
ror each day he refuses to convoke
the Legislature in extra session for
the purpose pf remedying the predica-
ment the . pension matters of Texas
have drifted into. < . .
I, therefore, most respectfully call,
upon all persons who favor the car-
rying out the old-age pension law as
it was voted to assemble in mass
meetings at convenient places and
pass resolutions petitioning our Gov-
ernor to assemble the Legislature in
extra session, and to petition him in
the most courteous and respectful
way to do so, and if he fails and re-
fuses, then in that event we will in-
voke the law, that was almost in-
voked on Gov. Jim Ferguson when he
refused for a time to call the Legis-
lature in special session. Many
learned legal lights at that time took
the position that if the Governor re-
fused to call the Legislature in extra
session when petitioned so to do.
that a certain per cent of the legisla-
tors could make the call and proceed
to pass needed legislation.
I have been in Austin since the
present Legislature was elected and
saw them in session and I think we
have above an average in intellect
for a large body like this, and I am
sure if they are called together they
will lay down petty differences ami
pass some relief for the axed people
of this state. Texas is a large state
and rich in resources and if it does
not uphold the Constitution in regard
to old-age pensions, it will not do its
duty.

an intersection of a new road under

dent said there was a dense1 fog of
dust and both cars were going fast.
. The negroes were all seriously in-
jured, but are recovering at the City
