The Eiprrks Austin Bureau.
U'KTIN, Tw. 17 The entire
morniug session of the House was con- j
turned with the >onsideratiou of a point of
order made by Mr. Spradley to tbe effect
that tbe investigating resolution uucou
*>titutioually «rested offices for thirty
members of the House. A leugthy opinion
from the Attorney General declaring the ,
resolution to be •-oustitutional was sub
initte«l by Mr. l\>pe. The Attorney General
dedared that the mitititioBi) praHiioi
that u number of the Legislature may hoM 1
no other «.fti e <li<l BOt apply lo the pit I
posed investigating committees.
"It is a matter of history that laws
based upon investigation are the best 1
laws," the opinion began. The opinion '
was concerned chiefly with the definition I
of the term "offlw," which was dee lured to ;
embody an exercise of a part of the sov J
ereignty of the Stale The work of th»>
committees, according to the opinion,
would be a * pee la I service, and would not j
come withtu the provisions of the Coustl- i
tutl"ii. "We bUevt fh.it the Legislature
has the right to appoint the committee
end to compensate its members, held the 1
opinion.
Mr. Spradley held that th#re in a con !
.Htirntiou.il provision making a member of ,
the Legislature ineligible to any other
place or offh e. "To permit legislators |
to create positions for themslres," he said,
"could lead to the creation of annual posi-
tions for every member for which they ,
would receive $1.S00 a year." Mr. Spradley I
offered as substitute for the investigation,
a permanent auditiug system.
Mr. Hlchards called attention to the fact
that committees of the House have sat
before and after sessions of the Legis-
lature an|| referred particularly to the
meeting or the Appropriation Committee
before the opening of the sesslou.
Speaker Fuller declined personally to
rule on the point of order made by Mr.
Spradley. upon the ground that there was
no preliminary precedent or Supreme
t'ourt decisiou to guide him.
Mr. Fly. original proponent of the reso
lution. said that its constitutionality had
been upheld by the Governor and the At-
torney General. "This House Is the one
source to which the people of the State
can look for the correction of the conduct
of the officers of the State," he said, "and
necessity gives It the right to conduct the
Investigation here provided for."
Mr. Thompson of Hunt asked If the fact
of conferring authority did not carry
with it every power to carry out the power
or authority.
Mr. Fly declared that an auditing com-
mittee as proposed by Mr. Spradley,
though In general desirable, would not
serve the present purpose.
Mr. Falrchild said that he "had de-
termined to support the resolution until a
better plan was brought forward.
The House defeated the polut oL order
by the vote of 10 ayes, 78 noes and 3 not
voting.
Mr. Mendell then made the motion that
the resolution be laid on the table subject
to call, and Mr. Tlllotson offered a sub-
stitute that It be set as a special order
for tomorrow morning at 10:.MO o'clock.
Mr. Tlllotson called attention to the fact
that two similar resolutions are pending
in the Senate, and declared that the House
should arrange to act concurrently with
the Senate. "I don't believe," he said,
"that you will find an Instance In which
one body #of the Legislature has under-
taken so important a work without con-
curring with the other house.
Mr. Peyton supported the motion to lay
on the table subject to call in order to
net concurrently with the Senate. Mr.
Sallas rebuked the House for Its delay,
and opposed further postponement of the
consideration of the resolution.
The debate was interrupted by Speaker
Fuller for the purpose of presenting Hep
resentatlve Woodul and his bride a silver
service on behalf of the membership of
the House. Mr. Fuller spoke of Mrs.
Woodul as one of South Texas' fairest
flowers. "We wish for Mr. and Mrs
Woodul a life of sunshine and happiness."
said the Speaker. Mr. Woodul led his
bride to the Sneaker's stand and addressed
the House briefly, declaring that he was
too happy for words.
Mr. Johnson sent up an amendment to
the resolution calling for an educational
survey of the State Instead of an invest!
gntlon in the case of the educational insti-
tutions. Such a survey, Mr. Johnson

The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. IT.—When the
Westbrook resolution calling for an inves-
tigation of all departments and State In-
stitutions was called up In the Senate this
morning, Senator Henderson offered a
substitute changing the number of fhe
committee from eleven to three. He had
previously Introduced a substitute, » hang-
ing the number to two. Points of order
were raised against the "substitute for a
substitute" and considerable debate re-
sulted. Finally Senator Westbrook
"moved the previous question" to cut off
debate.
Senator Itee strenuously objected to this
course of sixteen Senators "to ram tills
resolution down our throats" without de-
bate. Senator Page also objected to chok-
set the report as special business for to- lug off debate. Meanwhile Senator West-
morrow morning, us well as Mr. Mendell's I brook was calling for "the previous ques
motion to lay on !'t table subject to tlon." At this point Senator Page called

gallon, but declared that they would look
upou an investigation by thirty members
of the House as a Junketing expedition
and a piece of graft. "A committee of five
men," he said, "can do this work as well
us a committee of thirty," Mr. Seawrlght
opposed the amendment and declared the
value of the Investigation depended upon
the thoroughness of its conduct. Mr. Cope
supported the original renort, and do
dared that It would be impossible for
seven men to complete the investigation
before a new Legislature would have been
elected, lie maintained that ten com
mittees of three each could make the In-
vestigation more cheaply than one com-
mittee of seven men, since t«i commit-
tees would be more mobile and adaptable
to the work. Mr. Cope declared that the
provision of the amendment, nrovldlng for
election of the committeemen by the House
discredited the Speaker, whom he de-
clared bore a remarkable record for the
fairness and impartiality of Ills appoint-
ments,
Mr. Spradley spoke at length in support
of the smaller committee, but favored the
appointment of the members by the Speak-
er. Mr. Bledsoe also favored the smaller
committee, and declared that It could car
ry on a more businesslike investigation
than a larger one.
"It Is unimportant," said Mr. Veatch,
"whether^)!- not the members of these
committees will act with sincerity and
honesty and efficiency, the question is,
what will the people ut home say? That
the members of the Legislature are giving
themselves a good Job."
Mr. Tinner took issue with Mr. Veatch
and declared that if he carried out to its
. logical conclusion his demand for small
I committees, he would be compelled to agree
air passages towards the lungs which is
equallv as dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in the
damp English climate Is a constitutional
treatment and should prove especially ef
ficacious to sufferers here who live under
more favorable climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist one ounce of
I'armlnt (double strength). Take this
home and add to if V4 pint of hot water
ind 4 ounces of granulated sugar ;Atir until
dissolved. Take one tahlespoonful four
times a day This will often bring quick
relief from distressing head noises. Clog-
fed nostrils should open, breathing become
easy and hearing improve as the Inflam-
pat Ion In t he eustachian tubes Is reduced
I'armlnt used in this way acts directly

jystern and has a slight tonic action that
facilitates obtaining the desired results
" he preparation is easy to make, eosts lit-
tle and is pleasant to take, livery person

If ynu know of some one who Is troubled
with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises or
ordinary catarrh cut out this formula and
hand It to them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. In England
scientists for a long time past have recog-
nized that catarrh is a constitutional ills
case and necessarily requires constitutional
treatment.

• lr nnRNflcpM tnwnrHn thn iiimm ...t.i-.i, «. Court. Mr. .1 ho in a son of LI 1 aso as-
serted that a system of committees con
taining one man less than the Senate of
Texas would be looked askance at bv
the people of the State. "It would be
looked upon as a 'third House,'" he de-
clared.
"The Investigation," said Mr. Thomason,
"should be conducted by business men,
and in a businesslike manner, regardless
of the time necessary for the completion
of the work." "A big business concern,"
he said, "would not turn loose thirty men
to make an Investigation of tile various
branches of its business. It would choose
a small number of efficient men " He de-
clared that the investigation might cost
as much as $100,000, and insisted that the
most businesslike methods should be used
In order to make the work most thorough
aud effective.
The amendment was defeated by the vote
of 42 ayes, 5« noes; J! falling to vote. Upon
motion of Mr. Cope, the previous question
was ordered ou the original report and
all amendments printed In the Journal.
Thus an amendment by Mr. Johnson sub-
stituting an educational survey for the In-
vestigation of educational Institutions, was
ruled out of order by the acting speak-
er. The Thomason amendment providing
for the election of the members of the
General Executive Committee bv the House
was then defeated by the vote of 14 ayes,
84 noes; 3 not voting. An amendment by
Messrs. Thompson of Hunt and Yantls,
providing for the employment of an effi-
ciency expert to systematize all of the
State departments with the view of con-
solidating any two or more of them, was
also defeated.

The lixyres* Austin Hureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 17. Returning to-
day from a 0,000-mile automobile trip
through Southern aud Kastern States and
the Middle West, Mrs. J. L. Laud rum, ill
rector^ of the home economics division of
the Texas Department of Agriculture,
brought data on conservation of. fool
which will be of great value to her in
her work In Texas. Mrs. Landrum was
accompanied ou the long automobile jour-
ney by her daughter. Miss Lucll® Farks,
of Austin. The trip which carried the
Texas automobtllsts through eighteen
States, was completed without accident,
Mid ivory littlo delay on account of tire
trouble.
"We lost our way only twice," said
Mrs. Landrum. "Once In Tennessee and
that was because a lefUhainJed man lu
giving up a direction told us to turn
to the right. We were lost for a while
in the oil fields of Oklahoma but ao.in
righted ourselves. It was the most de-
lightful trip we ever took, and every-
where we were most cordially received and
treated most royally."
At Washington Mrs. Landrum conferred
with Herbert llo«ver, the food dictator,
and also with tb(» Tutted States Health
Department on conditions In Texas, and
she hopes to greatly strengthen the work
in 'iexas. When Mrs. Landrum
was In Virginia she collected from the
ground a basket of peaches,.apples aud
potatoes which hall been left to decay ami
be lost to tile State. These she carried
to .Mr. lloover as au example of a lack
ot Industry Ii one State in food conserva-
tion. In Tennessee aud Arkansas shu
gathered other fruits and vegetables which
she gave to Mr. Hoover, and she thinks
those States will promptly hear from him.
Mr. Hoover, who Is the head of all food
conservation in the United States, give
ills heartiest approval of the work which
Mrs. l.amlriim is conducting In Texas Un-
der her direction the girls canning dubB
of Texas have canned 500,(100 quarts of
fruits aud vegetables for home consump-
tion.
"In Virginia, Arkansas and Tennessee
the fruits and vegetables were left to
decay because the people said there was
no market for them, said Mrs. Lan-
drum. "Many of them said they had
never heard of Herbert Hoovter and did
not know tbe Qovernmeut wanted food
savel. They never thought about America
needing auy food which could not be pro-
cured'.'"
In each of the States visited, Mrs. Lan-
drum called on the Governor and visited
the Department of Agriculture.
Mrs, Landrum proposes to open a courso
in some nursing for the girls of the
Agricultural Department. Much of this
work will be done through correspoud-
encc, because many of the girls of Texas
cannot leave home for the studies. She
will send out letters to them in which

tions on the trip which she has Just closed.
