After spending the entire afternoon
session and the better part of two
days, the senate Thursday evening
completed the consideration of the de-
partmental appropriation bill, being
the last of the appropriation bills to
be considered by the senate. The bill
as finally ’passed carries an appro-
priation of approximately $4,700,000
for the support of the state depart-
ments for the next biennium.
Bills reported Thursday afternoon
by committees Included: Favorably,
by Bowers, authorizing state executive
committees to prescribe qualifica-
tions at primary elections; Bowers, re-
quiring political parties casting over
10,000 votes to hold primary elections;
Bowers, creating state illiteracy com-
mission, and Baugh permitting Repub-
lican party to nominate United States
senatorial candidates by convention.

The state prison commission has
signed a contract for employment of
300 convicts now in the penitentiary
for shirt making for a Chicago shirt
factory, announced Walker Hayles,
member of the prisc-. commission
hero late Thursday. Commissioner
Hayles stated equipment for tho work
will be installed in the Huntsville
prison officials at all times.
Reports of such a contract recently
resulted in the offering in the senate
of a resolution by Senator Murphy of
Houston condemning tho practice of
contracting and leasing state prisoners
and proposing an investigation of the
proposed contracts. Under amend-
ments, the attorney general's depart-
ment would be Instructed to institute
suits to prevept execution of the con-
tracts. The resolution, without ac-
tion. was referred to senate committee
on penitentlaries.

On the application of the principal
railroad companies. of Texas, pres-
sented to Judge Duval West at San
Antonio, temporary restraining order
was granted by Judge West, enjoining
the Texas railroad companies, the at-
torney general of Texas and shippers
from bringing suits or prosecutions of
any kind against the carriers, by rea-
son of the railroads failing to apply
the rates prescribed by the commis-
sion, April 27, 1923, and effective May
5, 1923, on refined petroleum products.
Under the temporary writ the com-
mon carriers are permitted to continue
the use of present existing rates on
refined petroleum products.
This temporary restraining order is
to remain in force pending hearing of
a bill of injunction filed by railroads
and disposition of a petition filed by
the carriers with the interstate com-
merce commission for relief against
the Texas commission's rates on_the
ground of discriminati. n against* in-
terstate commerce.
In granting tho restraining order.
Judge West directed that the applica-
tion for an Interlocutory injunction
be heard at Han Antonio on May 12,
1923, before himself and two assisting
judges to be hereafter designated by
him as a separate order.
In the bill of injunction, it is claimed
that the loss In revenue to tho car-
riers, if the reduced rates established
by the Texas commission should be-
come effective, would amount to ap-
proximately $150,000 uniually, when,
it is alleged, the carriers are not un-
der existing rates receiving even ap-
proximately the return of 5.75 per cent
on the value of their properties fixed
by the Interstate commerce commis-
sion under the federal transportation
act of 1920.
The petition was presented to Judge
West by H. M. Garwood, general at-
torney of the Southern Pacific lines;
N. A. Stedman, attorney at Austin for
the principal railroad companies and
C. B. Ross, assist, t general attorney
of the Santa Fe.

CORNS
This section of the state is renowned
for its big production of luscious wild
berries as well as those cultivated, ahd
this year promises to be an abundant
crop. The fields and pastures and
the commons are white with berry
blossoms. Large shipments are made
from here every season.
The continued rains have caused
splendid pecan prospects. The water-
melon crop will be much later this
year than’ for many years previous,
caused by the later freezes in March.
Many planters were compelled to re-
plant their crop and as a result the
usual melons on sale for the "June-
teenth" will no doubt be lacking for
this year's celebration.

enacted. The indications now are
that only the Judiciary appropriation
bill will de enacted at this session,
that measure being now in free con-
ference.
According to Representative Bur-
meister of McMullen, probably the
most experienced lawtaker in the
house, the .appropriation bills could
not be passed during the remainder
of the session even to the exclusion
of all other bills, of which there are
about 150. The only chance for these
money bills to pass at this session
would be for the house to substitute
without consideration their bills for
those of the senate when they reach
the lower house but this is unlikely,
according to a member of the house
appropriation committee.
The senate has succeeded in pass-
ing finally its four general appropria-
tion bills, being the judiciary, educa-
tional, eleemosynary and. depart-
mental. but this acomplishment
amounts to little unlens the house also
acts on these measures. As before
indicated, the house could substitute
its appropriation bills for those passed
in the senate, and in this way place
these measures in free conference, but
this does not seem to be the plan of
house leaders.
Holding of night sessions for the
next ten days may help the situation,
but such sessions have never proven
a great success as it has been next
to impossible to obtain and maintain a
quorum, consequently little has been
accomplished.
Governor Neff has submitted to the
lawmakers sufficient legislative ma-
terial to challenge its attention for
the next ninety days, if every subject
submitted was given due considera-
tion. To definitely dispose of the bill
by Representative Moore of Hunt and
others which proposes to abolish the
state department of agriculture, the
state warehouse aid markets depart-
ment and the livestock sanitary com-
mission and create an agricultural
board to take up these other depart-
ments. would in Itself require the bet-
ter part of one week, due to the po-
litical aspects of the measure, in, the
opinion of members of the house.
To make matters worse, all of this
partially finished legislative work will
have to be gone all over again at the
third called session of the legislature.

Senator Stuart of Tarrant has in-
troduced a bill in the senate prohibit-
ing persons, firms or corporations from
making any excavation on, under or
across any public highways in Texas,
without first securing written permis-
sion from the county commissioners
or the stat® highway engineer, and
when such permission is granted the
persons or corporations making such
excavations, shall repair such road
satisfactory to the commissioners or
highway engineer.
A bill was introduced by Senator
Baugh, which would permit the nomi-
nation of candidates for the United
Htatos senate from Texas by party
convention Instead of by primaries ns
is now provided for by law.

Creation of “tho Texas historical I
board,'' to gather and present to the I
legislature at each regular session data |
and recommendations looking to tne
preservation, not only of early Texas
history, but history now being made
that ought to be sacredly kept for
coming generations. is recommended
to the legislature in a message by
Governor Neff. The board is to serve I
without compensation.
“A people who do not preserve and *
cherish the heroic achhevements of
their noble ancestry, will achieve
nothing worthy to be enrolled on the
scroll of fame by their descendants,"
said the governor in the message.
“Texas has a grand, glorious his-
tory. On the field of battle her pa-
triotic pioneers won their liberty and
built a national life all their own.
They kissed the lips of immortality
41 Goliad, they willingly poured out
their life’s blood in the Alamo: they
marched to victory at Han Jacinto.
From the Sabine to the Rio Granae,
they left their 'footprints on the sands
of time.’ The trails they traveled
should be our pride. Texas has not
been thoughtful in preserving her
legends, in cherishing her traditions,
in marking her heroic spots, in im-
mortalizing her heroes. Those who
won our. freedom and wrought out our
civilization, should not only be pane-
gyrized in song and story, but should
be immortalized in marble and bronze,
not only as a deserving tribute to their
memory, but as help, a hope, and an
inspiration to the children of this and
all the generations that are yet to be."
“Historic places, historic names and
historic, things, should be jealously
guarded.” continued the governor." To
forget them is to prove ourselves un-
worthy of them.. Stones and statues
of patriotism. monuments to the pio-
neers and patriots whose daring and
dauntless courage bequeathed to us
our richest heritage, should be erected
by loyal and loving hands on Texas
soil, with Texas money, and from
Texas granite, wherever these heroes
fought and wrought for God and hu-
manity. Texas heroism should be
protected as well as Texas commerce.
Our history should be respected and
transmitted to posterity untarnished
and undimmed."
This board would be authorized to
purchase historic grounds, and the
erection of fitting monuments in mem-
ory of the heroes and the heroic
achievements that consecrated, sanc-
tified, and made immortal the glorious
and resplendent pages of Texas his-
tory.
