farmers care nothing for theories and
the farm institute lecturers could not
stop at his farm, for they would not
be welcome. Boner, Roemer and Lee
urged necessity for the measure to
insure pure seed for the farmers and
said it imposed a hardship only on
dealers who wished or tried to sell
impure seed. The bill was passed fi-
nally, 75 to 4 2.
Burton of Husk carried through fi-
nally his bill exempting small tele-
phone companies from paying gross
receipts taxes. As introduced, the bill
erempted telephone companies in

unanimous consent of the house to

the matter was settled.
i McFarland's bill providing for sale
of university lands or lease subject to
sale was placed on final passage.
Bryan offered an amendment vali-
dating all present leases of university
lands and providing for their sale as
they come on the market. lie said
I that approximately 2,000,000 acres
• of university land are held by about
fifty-two lessees, the leases expiring
at an average of six years hence. The
। lessees had bought many of the leases
in good faith, had their improvements,
cattle and sheep on them, and failure
to validate the leases would ruin many
of them. If all present leases were
validated until expiration of contract
term the lessees would have time to
sell their cattle or make other pro-
vision to care for them.
| Williams of McLennan county op-
posed the bill. ‘This is a bad time
to monkey with university lands.” he
said. "They are fast increasing in
value and will bring much higher
prices in a few yeara.” He moved
indefinite postponement of the bill.
Bledsoe claimed that the interests
of the lessees of school lands were not
the interests of the Texas school lands.
If lessees of the land had paid 120 000
to 110,000 bonuses for land leases,
which were certainly paid to make
profits for themselves, it indicated that

House Works slowly.
= Legislation moved slowly in the
2 house Tuesday. Members were in-
| dined to talk and the cloture rule was
• not enforced. The university land
sales bill was indefinitely postponed
and the four-day monthly rest bill
for railway telegraphers was killed.
The house passed finally the pure
seed bill; the measure exempting from
gross receipts tax all telephone com-
panies capitalised at S3G.000 or less;
the bill pro-rating equally the Con-
