Chairman Allison Mayflehl stated that
he considered the proposition an unusual
one, that he did not quite undestand It.
(,'ommis*loner lCarln R Mayfleld <*-

to let each article bear Its respective rate

flovernor'* Office, Austin. Tex., March
21, 19111. 'I'd tho Henato and llouso of
RepresuntatlveH: After a most vigorous
campaign covering a great portion of
the spring and summer of 1813, In wliloh
the candidates for tho 1'e.mocratlo nom-
ination for Governor presented views
upon various uuestlcmB of public Interest,
the Democratic State convention met at
Han Antonio and promulgated the fol-
lowing platform of principled, calling
upon the I.egtalature lo enact their rec-
ommendations or demands Into alatutes.
To refresh tlm memory of member* tbe
platform in full I* here quoted:
The foregoing platform commits the
legislature tu a comprehensive legisla-
tive programme for tho development and
upbuilding of the r'tate'e best Interests,
and there should be but little division
among the members of the Legislature in
■in effort to carry ItH demands Into ital
uies. M certainly can not bo sold ihni
tho policies enunciated by the platform
were not fully dlscusead In the campaign
preceding the holding of the Democratic
Convention, lor there never wan a more
vigorous unnpalgn conducted in any
State, and tlm principles In the platform
wore ateadfaatly advocated end defended
by myself In all section* of Texaa. and
the people of the State, by a majority of
over 42,000, endorsed them. Seventy-five
out of one hundred and twenty seven
Representative districts gnw- to ma a mn
Jority of their votes I" the Democratic
primary. These *eventy-flve district-
bavn eighty-seven members on the floor
of the House of Representative:!. In
nineteen out of the thirty-one Senatorial
districts (he people gave me a majority
of their voles. This administration In
committed to the carrying out of all the
pledgcn and promises made In the plat-
form. I believe In good faith 1 believe
thai men who make promlaes to thn peo-
ple when seeking offices ought to nave
tho courago to carry them out after they
arc chosen as representatives of the peo-
ple, and for myuelf, 1 shall endeavor In
every honorable and legitimate and proper
way to keep faith with the people who
have honored me.
The legislature met on the 14th day of
last Junuary, organized and began its
labor, but up to this Good Friday In
March not a single bill Intended to car-
ry out any one of the platform demands
has reached tbe Gnvernor'a office. This
is true In face of the fact that Joint reso-
lutions for the amendment of the Con-
stitution and bills were carefully drawn
to carry out the comprehensive platform
demands for the betterment and Improve-
ment of our educational *y»tem and edu-
cational Institutions, and weru all early
Introduced In both branches of the legis-
lature.
One of the crying needs of our farm
era Is a warehouse system which will
provide them with convenient and safe
means of storing the products of their
labor, thus enabling them to *ecure a
warehouse receipt which will bo good
collateral In the bank* of tbe world, and
upon which they can borrow money to
meet their preolng obligation* and not
be forced to sacrifice their products upon
a declining market In order to meet their
current obligation*, A splendid bill which
will authorise the farmers to organise
rural credit unions hna been prepared
and I do sincerely hope the Legislature
will pass this bill before It adjourns and
take such other action as neceisary to
Insure to the (armors of this State the es-
tablishment of u good warehouse system.
EARLY CLOSING LAW.
The platform demand* the enactment
of a luw for the closing of all saloons
In Texas from 9:30 o'clock p. m. of each
day until a o'clock a. m. of the following
morning, and from 9:30 p. m. Saturday
nights until 6 a. m. the following Monday
morning. A bill was prepared in this of-
fice carrying out thl* platform promise,
It Was pasaed practically by a unani-
mous vote In the Senate, and ha* been in
the Houie of Representative* unacted
upon since the 5th day of February. Per-
haps no *lngle queatlon In the last cam-
paign was more thoroughly und viciously
debated than this one. The platform de-
mands the passage of a law In conformity
"with the views advocated last year by
myself and those who supported my can-
didacy. It was possible to have closed
every saloon In Texas at !/;3g p, ni. and
kept them cloned until t a. in. forty days
ago, and failure to do so rests upon tho
member* of tho Houso of Representa-
tives.
The platform further demand* the en-
actment of a law empowering the city
commlsalon or tbe city council of each
nnd every city or town In Uio State to
prescribe the district within which the
sale of Intoxicating liquors may be li-
censed, and empowering said city com-
mission or city council to prohibit tho lo-
cation of saloons in residence districts.
A bill lo carry out this platform demand
wa* prepared In the Governor* office,
introduced In both houses, and remains
unacted upon.
The platform further calls for the en-
actment of a law which will give to the
people of countlea or lubdlvldon* thereof
where prohibition may have been defeat-
ed. the right to adopt upon them selves
a law which would prohibit ihu sain of
Intoxicating liquor* except In unbroken
package*. Thl* I* a good measure and
ought to meet with no opposition.
The platform call* for a general revision
or the election law, and especially calls
upon the I,egl*lnture to at last amend
that se.1 Ion of tbe election l*w which now
prohibits corporation* from contributing
lo political party campaign funds, or to
Ihe campaign funds of individual eandl
date* A hill ha* twin prepared which
compile* with thla platform demand, snd
If enacted will prohibit any corporation
formed under the laws of tbl* State, or
one formed under tbe law* of any other
State, and securing a p»rmlt to do hu*|.
nea* In thl* State, «nd alt pertona ncolr-
Ing n llcenia) from the Stato to do basl-
lies* In Toxa*. from eontrlbntlng to tbe
campaign fund* of any political part? or
political organisation, or to the campaign
expenses of anv Individual candidate for
any office If passed, this bill would
apply to all liquor dealer* and to all pool
room owner* and to all corporation* re-1
coltMng a charter or permit to do business
In Texas. Tbl* bill (Senate bill No. SOU)
Bussed the Senate aud baa been In tbe j
House of Representative* since lfebra*rj
0 unacted unon.
Platform farther demand* th«t s;
bill ahull be pasted prohibiting the »r-
eeutunce of money for Ihe making of no-
lltlcal speeches In sll c*mpalgn« In this
State Thl* Is s reform which no man not
accepting *ach employment ought tu op
po»e. *a th* enactment of such a *talu|.'
would largely tend to reduce th* need for
the use of money, and would reduce Its
corrupting effect, „p„n ,|>e ^.n,^ of nllr
state. Men mmld n«t Voluntarily detu.e
their time and energy and apply their
vilification to a man without gi!d" r**on
If you take aw*y from them the chanc* to
e*rn money with their *l*nd*rou* tongues '
The platform call* for practical Indicia I
reform*, mil* for the relief of the Su-
preme Court, relating to pleading, and re
quiring I hat a Judge shall charge the lory
on the law befor* argument* ef counsels
beglB. snd * number of other useful *nd
helpful meainre* have been Introduced In
both house*, but noa* of them have been
psssed.
The plstform call* for th* correction of
our Into tunc* law* to a* to give turns
adequate protection lo the Intnrfng public,
snd favor* lb* unconditional repeal of the
fire rating board l*w. hut no bill upon
tbta Important subject has been psased.
ARBlTIIATION LAW.
Tb* platform demands the amendment
of the existing arbitration law ao ** to
better provide for the settlement of dis-
pute* between organised laborer* and their
employers, but nothing b*s been done with
tbis important »ubject.
Tb* Thirty-first legislature psssed e
Isw for the control snd government of onr
penal system. Thai law entslled upon tb*
management of tbe System an eitra burden
ofespen**. arbitrarily fixed, of more than
$300is si for th* first two year* of II* ad-
ministration It required lb* expenditure
of a large sum of money for tbe Improve '
m*nt snd repair of Ihe prison «v*t*m. and 1
•• f*r ** It lis* been In the power of the :
administration of prison »*ffalrs, Ihe re
qnlremenls of this law have tieen ni«t. In '
addition to these legal requirement*, mis-
fortune overtook the system. The lo** on
account of the freetlng of the can* crop

and tb* beavv looses by fire, bar* resnlted
In a heavy Indebtedness Ths*» mlsfor

All of these things cry out mid lieg for
intention at the hands of tho Legislature,
but these appeals up to 'Ids time aeom to
have fallen upon denf legislative osl's
l want tu say with tdunt frankness,
but In all kindness, Hint unless the l/ig-
Islatlire linen something In -relieve th'

il'vc lha't the conscientious members of
ihe Legislature who have a proper • -n:--.-
of obligation resting upon them with
refertnen to thla institution, win permit
I hla session to close without pn ^|ns
"iisary legislation for the relief of Hie
prison system. We could Icai-Ii these

The Institution for the Tralntng of
Juveniles rt Uatesvllle ought tn have
consideration at the hands of this L-,ds-
lati re before It adjourns. From my point
of view, that institution has never in - n
u creditable one to the State. The law

should have separate provision made fur
them and tho children In that institution
under the ago of responsibility, or 12
years old, ought to he separated from the

gard must n «t where It propcrlv he-
b tigs, upon (ho two branches of th*
O xa* le gislature, If If adjourns this ses-
sion without supplying th* means to
meet this requirement.
WIFE ABANDONMENT.
Ihe platform calls for the paasago of
n law, with adequate penalties, making
it BU offense tn abandon a wife and
children under ic years of age, or to
to gleet or refuse to support them. Bills
have been introduced on this subject,
but the Legislature seems so much en-
grossed with the passage of measure*
pushed by organized lobbies, consolida-
tion bills and nthtr measures for the
relief of corporations and special Inter-
ests, creating new offices and additional
unnecessary expenses for the State gov-
ernment, that ft has not had time to af-
ford adequate protection by proper stat-
ute, to the abandoned wives and children
In Texas.
r shall forego a discussion nf many
other valuable platform dgmands which
have been overlooked nnd neglected, but
before closing this message I cannot
forbear the expression of my contempt
for a legislative policy which overlook*
th- plain demands of the people as ex-
pressed In the platform of the domlnunt
political party, and neglects to give at-
tention 10 them, In order to force thn
Governor to call a special session of the
legislature. I appeal now to the senso
of duty which 1 know must be Implan' d
In tho hearts of a majority of both
branches of the Legislature, and ask
them to devote time and nttentkm enough
to measures above specially Ineiuloned
between now and April l, the dale which
1'0" have fixed for final adjournment, tn
order that attention may be given to
those matters of public concern as de-
manded In the Democratic platform
Th* hill* concerning education. such a*
that which will permit school trustees In
all dlatrlct* In th* Stato to extend tbe
benefit* of public education to persons
ever 17 year* of age; that tvhlrh provides
for the compulsory attendance of idle

Comparative Digestibility
of Food
Made with different Baking Powders
From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests:
An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with
each ot three different kinds of baking powder—cream of
tartar, phosphate, and alum—and submitted separately to
the action of the digestive fluid, each for the same length
of time.
The relative percentage of the food digested is shown
as follows:
Bread made with
Royal Cream of Tartar Powder:
| 100 Per Cent. Digested
Bread made with
phosphate powder:
Bread made with
alum powder:
1*67^ PeHCffltJPigest^j
These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprej-
udiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone:
Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking 'Powder!
is shown to be entirely digestible, while the akim and
phosphate powders are found to largely retard the diges-
tion of the food made from them.
Undigested food is not only wasted food, ^ut it is th*5
source of very many bodily ailments.
