BILLS OFTEN
MOVED OUT OF
THRORDER
AUSTIN. March 17. (JP)—Motion*
to set certain bills for special or-
der and to take up others out of
their regular order on the calendar
wlll become more and more fre-
quent aa the legislative session ap-
proaches its end.
In every session many bills die on
the house and senate calendars.
The lawmakers simply do not have
time to consider all the proposals
which have been introduced and
given favorable committee report*
or have been printed on minority
reports.
Some Bills Advanced
Alert legislators Interested in the
passage of certain bills attempt to
advance them to a position suffi-
ciently high on the calendar that
they can expect final action on
their proposals in both houses be-
fore termination of the session.
Sometimes a legislator moves to
set a bill as the special order of
business for a date m the near fu-
ture simply because he is intensely
interested in its passage. At other
times he makes the motion because
he considers his bill Is of such im-
portance that it must be passed oe-
fore the legislature adjourns. Bud-
get-balancing bills fall in this cate-
gory.
Die On Calendar
One of the favorite methods of
killing a bill is holding up its con-
sideration in one house until it is
reasonably certain the time is too
short to permit final action in the
other branch. Of course if the bill
is introduced and reported out of
committee early in the session
there Is little opportunity to delay
its passage unless it is re-referred
to committee.
Old-timers about the capitol do
not remember a single legislative
session in which bills did not die on
the calendar. If the regular session
were six. .nstead of four months in
length the same situation probably
would prevail.

powers to deal with the problems
of low pnces and surplus produc-
tion. The program has flexibility
empowering Wallace to employ
parts or all of several plans in-
cluding the Smith cotton method
the principles of the domestic al-
lotment bill leasing of lands to re-
tire them from production and
trade agreements.
A processors’ tax Is the chief
source of revenue proposed to pro-
vide funds to finance the program.
From it payments in the form of
rentals or benefits or both could
be naid to farmers m return for
agreements to curtail production.
The Smtih option plan would be
applicable to cotton planters its
purpose being to buy up supplies
of cotton in which the government
now has a financial interest and to
give growers options on these in
return for production cuts.
Price Restoration Goal
Restoration of farm prices to the
1909-1914 pre-wtfr level is the goal.
If and when that goal has attain-
ed the plan would go out of oper-
ation. The processors tax if levied
in the maximum amount would be
in an amount equal to the differ-
ence between the pre-war level and
current market prices.
The president asserted that the
measure ’offers great promise of
good results’’ adding:
“I tell you frankly that it Is a
new and untrod path but I tell
you with equal frankness that an
unprecedented condition calls for
the trial of new means to rescue
agriculture.
’ If a fair administrative trial of
it is made and it does not produce
the hoped for results I shall be the
first to acknowledge it and advise
you” he said.

NEW ORLEANS. March 17. —
Cotton opened somewhat quieter
and rather easy today following yes-
terday’s .’-harp advance.
First trades here showed losses of
1 10 to 11 points with May at 6 70.
July at 6.85 and October at 7.07. The
market rallied three points right
after the start on covering by
shorts but soon eased off again to
the opening figures in sympathy
wnth an easier start in stocks.
Later in the first hour the mar-
ket advanced again 3 to 4 points
with May at 6 73 July at 690 and
October at 7.12. due to a recovery
in stocks and a sharp advance in
wheat.
At these levels prices were only
6 to 7 point* from yesterdays
close.
CHICAGO GRAIN
CHICAGO March 17. .J»>—Wheat
ro6e 3 cents a bushel right at the
outset today and then quickly re-
acted almost 2 cents. Unlike yester-
day the market failed to go at
once to the maximum limit allow-
ed 5 cents advance.
Buying of wheat at the opening
was on a big scale but of notably
less volume than at the correspond-
ing time the previous day. Sharp
differences of opinion were express-
ed by traders as to the probable ef-
fects of Pres. Roosevelt’s plan in-
tended to lift all agricultural com-

LAI OFFICE
OVERTIME IS
AGAINST LAW
AUSTIN. March 17. (A»>—There is
one department in Texas govern-
ment where the employes are dis-
couraged from working overtime. In
feet overtime work is prohibited
by statute
The department is the land office
an ancient statute was brought to
light by the legislative committee
on economy and organization in its
survey of the state government
made with the view of effecting re-
forms in governmental operations.
Passed in 1873
The statute prohibiting over-lime
work in the land office was passed
by the legislature in 1873.
“Any clerk or other employe in
the general land office ••• who
shall perform any work out of of-
fice hours ••• or who shall handle
or interfere with the records and
files of said office except in of ice
i hours shall be fined not less than ;
$100 nor more than $500." the sta-1
tule reads.
The committee on economy and
organization stated this was an ef-
fective deterrent to any over-time
work regardless of how far be-
hind the routine work might be.
The law was enacted to prevent il-
legal alteration of records but the
committee pointed out that alter-
ation of valuable documents could
be made as easily during office
hours as after 5 p. m.
‘Out of Place’
“It is not suggested that exces-
sive over-time work should be re-
quired of employes but a rule pro-
hibiting it is out of place m any
office where there is a large volume
of detail work often occumulat'ng
in rush periods which should be
handled expeditiously” the com-
mittee reported.
It was pointed out that when the
statute was passed there were few
rush periods in the land office.
When the department toe* over the
collection of oil royalties and oil
was found on state land in increas-
ed quantities the work of the de-
partment increased by leaps and
bounds. Since employes are forced
by law to drop their pencils wher.
the 5 p. m whistle blow’s the work
is sometimes In arrears.

bers of the •• Junior Texas Legisla-
ture." an organisation composed
of pages and other youthful em-
ployes of the Texas House of Rep-
resentatives. have given the reg-
ular members some • pointers" on
hew legislation should be enacted.
On a recent dull Saturday after-
noon the house hall was turned
o\er to the Junior legislature which
preceded to jkiss and repeal laws
In the approved style and to amend
the constitution. In a ••session"
that lasted about an hour the
juniors repealed virtually all laws
of the statue b:oks. enacted a few
that suited their own sentiments
and so revised the constitution as
to leave that ancient safeguard of
liberty in a state of confusion.
Bills to change constitutional
and statutory prohibition were
passed with celerity by the iuniors
To pass the appropriation bills re-
Guired a few minutes while to get
tltrough the bill to legalize wager-
ing on horse races a controversial
subject before the regular house
was mere child’s play.
Mundell Rogers of Sweetwater
served as speaker of the Junior
house He ruled promptly on points
of order and made his rulings
slick regardless of their merit.
Rogers had a complete staff of
assistants including a parliamen-
tarian reading clerk chief clerk
journal clerk and a sergeant-at-
arms.
Rep. Cecil Lotief cf Cross Plains
(-bilged the iuniors by serving as
their chaplain.
Included in the list of stenog-
raphers •’employed" by the juniors
wre Rep Sarah Hughes of Dallas
and Gov. Miriam A. Ferguson.
Members of the legislature sa'.
around and enjoyed the antics of
their juniors.
"They didn’t do so badly a!!
things considered." one of the reg-
ular members remarked when the
| show was over.

dition for some time till I felt
