Week of January l' t 22, P.W, in
January 10, seventy-two new Re-
presentatives took their oaths of of-
fice along with seventy-six old ones.
In the Senate there were eight now
Senators, eight re-
cliiled and 1"> hold
overs. 'The House
will have R. Em-
mett Mease, a se-
venth termer as it*
sja aker while CJoite
R. Stevenson of
Junction, only man
ever to be elected
twice Speaker of
the House, will b-j
Lieutenant-Governor, presiding over
the Senate. Governor O'Daniel will
certainly have two qualified men *.-
consult with in these two important
offices. Now that we are sworn in I
know that the "cussing out" is not
fa: away.
Pensioners Beware of
Chiselers
The (onstitution of he State of
Texas provides that each Senator and
Representative be paid $10.00 each
day the Legislature is in session. I
am not asking any person in th-?r
State of Texas for one red cent in
return for any assistance I might
render them towards helping them
g t the pension. Old folks, spend your
money wisely. All it will cost you
for me to help you get your pension
will be a post card with your name-
and address on it. I want to help
y u and if you are dissatisfield with
your pension please address your
post cards to me at the House of Re-
presentatives, Austin, and I will look
into it immediately. You are paying
181 members of the Legislature to do
his and tl do not believe it right to
contribute to any chiseler's fund th r
two bits or the two dollars they are
elaching from the aged.
O'Daniel
On more than one occasion I have
heard it rumored by some Senators
and Representatives that O'Daniel
would not get along with the Legisla-
ture. I hope that these persona lopin-
ions will be changed by Mr. O'Daniel
when he is inaugurated. It is his
duty and the duty of all of the mem-
bers of the Legislaure, I think, to try
and get along. I do believe that any
major legisation requires some tira«*
and thought to study it over. Up un-
til now the Governor-Elect has not
mentioned to me or any of the others
any legislation that he has in minti.
I hope that it will soon be forthcom-
ing as it will be for the best of Bas-
trop County and the State of Texas,
for us to learn of it as soon as pos-
posible. *
