42 HOUSE JOURNAL
TO PROVIDE FOR CONSIDERA-
TION OF CERTAIN BILLS
Mr. Glass offered the following reso-
lution:
Whereas, It is common talk among
the members of the Legislature that
the consideration of revenue measures
at the present time will mean the kill-
ing of old age pension legislation dur-
ing the Special Session; and
Whereas, The people of Texas are
expecting the Governor and the Legis-
lature to provide Old Age Pensions
immediately; and
Whereas, The Legislature appro-
priated money for The Texas Centen-
nial from the General Revenue Fund
without passing tax measures to fi-
nance the same; and
Whereas, The Governor signed the
bill appropriating millions of dollars
for the Centennial; now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Represen-
tatives, That bills proposing, (1) li-
quor regulation, (2) appropriations
for Old Age Pensions with agencies
to distribute the pensions, and (3)
salary legislation for county officials,
be taken up and disposed of before
measures on other subjects are con-
sidered by the House of Representa-
tives.
