selective buying in both stocks and

able amount of profit-taking.
Although equities were still ac-
tive volume dwindled on the mod-
erate declines. Some of the utili-
ties and metals moved substantial-
ly higher but other group* were
hesitant. Grains sagged in the

rather narrow. The dollar declined
nearly 4 cents In terms of the Brit-

lic Service of New Jersey gained
about a point each. Amusement is-
sued were a bit higher. The eteela

JOBLESS AID
AUSTIN Peb. f. iJPi-Speaker
of the House Coke Stevenson Tues-
day ruled that Gov. Miriam A. Fer-
guson must submit the subject of
taxation before the legislature may
consider bills to levy taxes to pay
the principal and Interest on state
relief bonds
Wants New Taxes
The ruling came on a motion of
Rep. J. C. Duvall of Port Worth
to recommit to oommittee a Mil
proposing Issuance of 14 500000 tn
relief bonds with instructions that
the committee recommended tax
measures sufficient to provide for
their retirement.
Speaker Stevenson said that the
ranstltutianal amendment authoris-
ing the bonds did not empower the
legislature to enact specific tax
measures to retire the bonds and
that since this is an extraordinary
session the governor must send up
: special message before he would
permit tax questions to be consider-
ed.
“A special session Is the governor's
session' and it is her duty to sub-
mit the questions to be considered’*
f “venson said. He held that the
language of the governors general
message to the legislature in which
she submitted "passage of such laws
as may be neoeesary to issue ana
sell" the bonds was not sufficiently
definite to open up the taxation
feature. 8te venson said there was
specific limitation in the governor's
Kneral n.eesage directing the legis-
ture to act in conform ityl wltn
the bond amendment which does
not give the legislature authority to
levy a tax.
Mill Hu Time
He pointed out that the governor
still has opportunity to submit tax-
ation to pay off the relief bonds
Friends of the govern©' left the
house floor immediately to appraise
her of the speaker s ruling.
Duvall expressed fear that unless
provision was made for retirement
of the bonds they could not be sold.
He quoted James V. Allred attor-
ney general and chairman of the
commission In charge of relief bond
sales as saying that unices an ade-
quate sinking fund was provided
he did not anticipate * single bid
would be received Feb. 10 when the
second block of $2750000 In relief
bonds authorised last fell will be
offered for sale.
The law authorising the issuance
of the first block of $5500000
bonds provided for their payment
cut of the general revenue iund
Difficulty was experienced by the
bond commission In selling the first
$2750000 In bonds It was neces-
sary to ask for bids three separ-
ate times.
nwiimft nH*iWO #
Duvall said he had a letter from
a banker active in the sale of the
first of the bonds which said the
first Issue was subscribed largely
"as a matter of patrlotim and not
because they were a sound Invest-
ment." He said passage of a special
tax would enhance their market-
ability. Duvall suggested a luxury
tax to provide a sinking fund

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative
Hospitals and doctor* have always
| user! liquid laxative*. And the public
it fast returning to laxatives in liquid
j form. Do you know the reasons*
The dose of a liquid laxative ran be
measured The action ran be con
trolled. It forms no habit; you need
not take a “double dose" a day or
two later. Sor will a mild liquia
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement and there is
no discomfort at the time or after.
The wrong cathartic may keep
you constipated as long a»*you keep
on using it! And the habitual use of
• irritating salts or of powerful drugs
in the highly concentrated form of
pills end tablets may prove injurious.
A week with a properly prepared
liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A
few weeks' time and your bowels
can be “as regular as clockwork “
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sn
approved liquid laxative which all
druggists keep ready for use. ft makes
an ideal family laxative; effective for
all ages and may be given the
youngest child. Member N. R. A.
