TWO MESSAGES SENT TO BOTH
HOUSES EASTER SUNDAY
BY GOVERNOR.
EXTRA SESSION IS CALLED
Criticises Legislators on Lack of Ac-
tion on Platform Demands.
Time Wasted.
Austin: Gov. Campbell Sunday sent
to the legislature two messages.
The first, which was delivered to the
Senate when It met In the morning,
and to the House when it met this
nfternoon. was in the nature of a roast,
giving his reasons for having to call
a second special session.
l^ater in the day he sent in a second
message, transmitting his proclama-
tion for a second session.
The text of these mesages follows:
Executivo Office, April 10, 1909.—To
the legislature: The Constitution of
this Stale Imposes upon the Governor,
among other things, the duty to 'rec-
ommend to the Legislature such meas-
ures as he may deem expedient." Com-
pliance with this provision of the Con-
stitution is always the source of much
annoyance to the servants of special
interests who may wish to Berve their
masters without protest from the
Executive. However, under the Con-
stitution. it is not my privilege, but
my duty to communicate by message
with your honorable bodies, and in all
reasonable ways to Impress upon you
the importance of such measures and
the necessity for the enactment or re-
peal of such laws as may appear to
me to be demanded for the good of the
State and for the welfare of all of the
people.
"A Legislature that Is not compe-
tent to pass needed laws demanded
by the people is certainly not compe-
tent to appropriate the taxpayers'
money. This condition makes another
called session absolutely necessary."
"Your regular session of sixty days
was expensive and of little value to
the people."
"It can hardly be denied that every-
thing that has been done in the way
of legislation by the regular or called
session could have been done in ten
days."
"Tho depositors have asked for a
bank guarantee law, not a bond law,
with only the right to bring suit. Such
a plan as Is • proposed is, I believe, a
sham and a fraud."
"Probably the boldest, the most ar-
rogant and the most formidable lobby,
made up of the combined selfish in-
terests, that has ever assembled at tho
Capitol gathered hero upon the .as-
sembling of the Thirty-First legisla-
ture to pester you and hinder und de-
feat the popular will."
Of the other agricultural experiment
stations one shall be In the "black
lnnd" belt of Central or North Texas,
one iu the rice belt of South or South-
oast Texas, and the others at such
places In tho Stato as tho board here-
in created shall select.
Liquor Traffic Bill.
The House Friday night finally
passed the Robertson-Fitzhugh fallas
lee liquor traffic bill, which providos
for uniform high license and prohib-
its the drinking of liquor on the premi-
sos. Mr. Fitzhugh declared that the
bill was doad becauso of a defect in
tho caption, It being impossible to
make a correction in it on third read-
ing.
Mr. lee denied that the caption was
defective. Anyway, the Senate could
amend the caption if it should pass
the bill, which it will not unless the
prohibitionists in that body shall con-
sent to the elimination of the lee
amendments, which they will not like-
ly do.
The Board of Health bill, as agreed
to in conference, is the Senate bill
with certain of the House amend-
ments.
Experiment Stations,
Austin: Following is the text of
bill by Representative Terrell of Cher-
okee, providing for the establishment
of additional experiment stations:
Section 1. There shall be establish-
ed at such places in the State of Texas
as the board hereinafter named may
deem proper, experimental stations in
addition to those now in existence, for
the purpose of making experiments in
the planting and growing of agricul-
ture, horticulture, cereals and plants,
and the feeding and fattening of live
stock for slaughter; such stations to
be under the care, control, manage-
ment and direction of tho Director of
Agricultural Experiment Stations of
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col-
lege of Texas, and te be maintained
and operated at such places in Texas
ns the board hereinafter designated
may direct. Two of these agricultural
experiment stations shall be estab-
lished west of the ninety-eighth merid-
ian, one of which shall be in West
Texas and other in Northwest Texas.
Lawmaker Pays Pine.
Austin: Frank Putnam, staff cor-
respondent of the Uouston Chronicle,
was assaulted Wednesday by Repre-
sentative S. M. Meeks. The blow
broke Mr. Putnam's spectacles and
bruised his forehead. The Incident
occurred just after the adjournment
of the House, and was the culmina-
tion of a colloquy regarding Repre-
sentative Hill's personal privilege re-
marks concerning Mr. Putnam, earlier
In the day. Mr. Meeks waived his
constitutional rights and accompanied
by Assistant Sergeant at Arms Hurkes,
proceeded at once to the Police Court
and gave bond in the sum of $100.
Guaranty Bill in House.
The House of Representatives Wed-
nesday night by an overwhelming vote
passed to third reading the Senate
guaranty of deposits bill, after amend-
ing it In the following particulars:
It first struck out all of the Senter-
Hume substitutes and substituted the
terms of the Cureton bill as it passed
tho House. Next it amended so as to
make the guarantee of deposits as pro-
vided for by the Cureton bill compul-
sory as to banks which shall hereafter
be organized, but optional as to banks
now in existence. These latter banks
may avail themselves of that provi-
sion or not as they wish. If they do
not, however, they must give the bond
which is requiqred by the terms of the
Senter-Hume substitute.
The original guarantee advocates be-
lieve that the bill as it now stands will
meet the views of a majority of the
Senate and secure legislation upon the
subject. It disposes of the legal ob-
jection that the State could not com-
pel banks heretofore organized to pay
a tax to pay the losses of other bank-
ers, because that provision is not now
compulsory as to the old banks. In
fact, the only compulsory feature left
In the bill, as to such banks, is that
which Senators Senter and Hume
wrote and which the Senate adopted.
Nevertheless, the original guarantee
advocates believe these banks will
avail themselves of the Cureton' bill
provision rather than assume the oner-
ous burdens which Messrs. Senter and
Hume have provided.

IN THE SENATE
Thomas Takes Oath of Office.
For the second time within three
months, H. Bascom Thomas of Hop-
kins County took the oath of office as
a Senator of Texas Saturday morning,
and the curiosity of the people who
have been wondering when he would
arrive and take his seat in the Senate
was appeased. His re-entrance into
the Senate was unmarked by any un-
usual circumstances, and he was to
a large extent ignored by the men
with whom he will now associate.
Early in the day the galleries of the
Senate became crowded with men.
women and children anxious to see the
Senator from Hopkins County make
his entrance. At 10:40 o'clock he ar-
rived, took the oath of office and re-
ceived a scattering applause on the
floor of the Senate. In the galleries
the applause was much longer and
louder.
Her Answer.
An Atchison girl had a proposal of
marriage Sunday night and asked a
week to think it over. She went to all
of her married sisters. One, who used
to be a belle, had (hree children, did all
her own work and hadn't been to the
theater or out riding since she was
married. Another, whose husband was
a promising young man at the time
«he was married, was supporting
him. A third didn't dare say
her life was her own when her hus-
band was around, and a fourth was di-
vorced. After visiting them and hear-
ing their woés, the heroine of this lit-
tle tale went home, got pen, Ink and
paper and wrote an answer to the
young man. You may think it was re-
fusing him, but it wasn't. She safd
she could be réady in a month.—Atch-
ison Globe.
Artificial Want*.
Many a onq^.fo^ t\ys Bake of finery
on the back, has gone with a hungry
belly and half-starved their families.
"Silk and satin, scarlet and velvets,"
as Poor Richard says, "put out the
kitchen fire." These are not the nec-
essaries of life; they can scarcely be
called the conveniences; and yet only
because they look pretty, how many
want to have them! The artificial
wants of mankind thus become more
numerous than the natural; and as
Poor Dick says: "For one poor person,
there are a hundred Indigent."—Ben-
jamin Franklin.
Austin: A number of petitions In :
favor of the Senter-Hume guarantee!
substitute were offered Friday moro-1
ing by Senators Sturg on, Kellle, Per-
kins and Meachum. That offered by'
the latter was signed by former;
Lieut. Gov. George D. Neal, the react
ing of which was applauded.
Couldn't Convince the Judge.
41 have heard of the soul kiss and
kisses of other kinds, but I never heard
of a man biting his wife as an evidence
of his affection for her," remarked Jus-
tice O'Neill of Baltimore, Md., when
George Phoebus, aged 27, of East Bal-
timore street, endeavored to explain
the biting of his* wife, for which of-
fense she had him arrested. Mrs.
Phoebus said her husband deliberate-
ly bit her on the cheek, and, though
the pain was excruciating, he said that
It was a "love bite." The justice fined
bim five dollars aod gave him ten days

Austin: The first called session of
the Thirty-First legislature is very
nearly "all in," has about "douc its

ord. The guaranty of deposHu bill has
been referred to the undertakers,
yclept "a free conference committee."
The Board of Health bill has fiually

the Senate to concur in the House
amendments or to call for a free con

Austin: When the Senate adjourn-
ed Friday afternoon it liad cleaned up
its calendar. When the Houee ad-
journed after a night sitting it had
done all that it will do in the way of
passing bills at the present session.
A free conference committee has ad-
justed the differences between the
House and the Senate on the Board
of Health bill. Another free confer-
ence committee has adjusted the dif-
ferences on the Agricultural Experi-
ment Station bill. Their reporta will
be adopted by both House*.

Harris' Great Good Humor.
"No man ever maintained his life at
a higher level of perpetual good
humor." writes James W. lee of Joel
Chandler Harris In the Century. "The
day before ho died, when he was al-
ready beginning to pass Into the dark
valley of death, one of his sons came
Into the room and Inquired: 'How are
you this morning, father?'
" 'Well,' responded Mr. Harris, 'I am
about the extent of a tenth of a gnat's
oyebrow better.'"
Just What She Wanted.
Mrs. Nurlch was in the Jewelry
store. "Hero are some new souvenir
spoons we have just got In," said the
clerk, placing a tray for her inspec-
tion. "Oh, ain't those lovely!" she ex-
claimed. "I must have some of those!
Our cook makes such lovely soil-

ate, numerous petitions were sent up
favoring the pasaage of the Con-U/o

fuge. The Master son bill appropriat-
ing $40,000 (or the establishment of a
