Measure Sponsored By Fuchs
Provides Districts To Be
Governed By Actual
A synoptical aualysjs of the subst^
lute for- Houee. Bill 24, the Stpse
Soil Conservation Act, by Represen-
tative Fuchs and Ragsdale and Sena-
tor Davis, which has passed both
house* but has not yet' been sign-
ed by Gov. Allred, folows:
The intent and effect of this bill
is to place the control of soil con-
servation policies and operations in
* the hands of the land-owning voters.
and to draw upon both State and
Federal tax-aupported agencies and
institutions for technical advice and
service, in addition to qualifying for
participation in Federal appropria-
tions for soil conservation (Public
No. 46, Seventy-fburth Congress)..
It provides for soil conservation
districts co-extensiie with the bo'i<?
daries of the county in which the
conservation district is set up. Each
county conservation district is to be
governed by a body of four actual far-
mers, one to be aelected by the resi-
dent land owncra actively engage* in
farming or live stock industry in
each commissioners' precinct, and in
every county" which organizes as a
soil conservation district. The coun-
ty soil, conservation districts are cre-
ated by a majority vote of the iegal-
wly qualified tax paying voters jn, the
- county at an election to be held for
this purpose. Each county board
elects a delegate to represent the
county in a district convention.
The state is divided into six defin-
ed districts for the purpose of select-
ing the'State Board,* from each of
which a member of the State Soil
Conservation Board is elected by the
county delegates who must be a res-
ident land owner of the state district
from which • he is elected and must
be actively engaged in tanning or ani-
mal husbandry pursuit*. In addition
to the six elective members of the
State Board, the following are desig-
nated as members, ex-officials; The
President of Texas Agricultural and
Forfester Mechanical College, the
. President of Texas Technological
t ollcge, the Director of Vocation*1
Agriculture, the State Commissioner
of Agriculture, the State Co-ordina-
tor of Spil Conservation Service and
the State Reclamation Engineer.
County Soil Conservation Districts
when formed by a vote of the coun-
ty become bodies corporate and pol-
itic with the usual powers and re
sponsibilitiea appertaining thereto;
but their functions are limited to the
conservation ol natural resources as-
defined and described in the prefa-
tory legislative declarations and de-
finitions upon which the act rests;
and the purpose of the act derive
their constitutional statu* from Sec-
tion 59a, Article XVI of the Consti-
tution of Texas.
Local districts become agents of
the State and of the Federal govern
ment within their jurisdiction, re-
ceiving funds, services, and any oth-
er material aid which may be avail-
able from time to time, and adminis-
tering same in carrying out the plans
and purposes of the act.
A .District is empowered to for-
mulate comprehensive plans for the
conservation of the lands within its
borders, to classify them according
to the treatment necessary to ef- I
fed the purposes of conservation, anj I
(by a two-thirds vote of the resi-
dent land owners) may enact and
publish land-use regutat'CMU, which
shall be the same throughout the dis-
continued on t’age J)
