The Kipreaa Auntin Bureau.
Al'STlN. Tex . Jau. 31.-—A* Secretary of
the Treasury William MeAdoo lias an-
nounced that Dallas and Fort Worth will
bp the only Texaa cities on the itinerary
of his trip to the West and Southwest,
Governor Ferguson, it is understood, may
meet the Secretary at Pallas and confer
with him relative to the Galveston quar-
antine situation at Dallas lTebmtrjr 8.
It became known today that the Governor
has been invited by ballas and Fort
Worth bankers to be present during the
comlig of the Secretary of the Trots
ury, but uo official aunounceiuent has
coma from the Texas executive as to
whether he has accepted the invitation.
It is apparent that the quarantine mud-
dle at Galveston has not yet been clari-
fied. The Governor dftttrtS the Federal
authorities to auree to so»e co-operative
arrangements whereby the Texas quaran
tine regulations may be enforced. There
are many who believe that |n the event
that efforts of the Governor to bring
about such a condition fails, he will give
instructions for the enforcement of the
Texas regulations to the letter, as he has
made it clear heretofore that he is strong
iv opposed to the recent rulings from
Washington relative to the quarantine sit
nation at Galveston, which, he claims, if
not withdrawn will result in destroying
the Texas quarantine.
This, the Governor will not penult, if
bp <an avoid it. Governor Ferguson, in
a recent telegram to Secretary of the
Treasury MeAdoo, said that he hoped the
Issue of quarantine enforcement at Gal
veston would not be raiactl by the Fed
cr«l Government.
Governor Ferguson has had some cor
respondenee with Secretary MeAdoo on
the subject, but it Is understood that no
satisfactory arrangements have been re
ported. Home definite notation of the
problem may be agreed upon at the pros
peetive <onlcrciico between the Secretary
and Governor Ferguson at Dallas.

State On Cash Basis
First Time in Months

The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 31.—'The State re-
turned to a cash basis today, after having
been on a deficiency since the middle of
October, and all warrants, Including reve-
nue, pension and special, are now being
naid. 'Today was pay day at the State
Capitol and warrants of employes were
promptly cashed. The return to a cash
baslg was made possible by the large re-
mfttamvs of tax collections by tax collec-
tors throughout the State.
With the increased tax rate this year it
Is expected that a deficiency will be avoid

AUSTIN, Tex. Jau. ol. That it is prac
tlcaily impossible to keep undesirables
from Mexico from entering the United
States, and that possibly changes in the
immigration laws could Ih» made that would
work to greater advantage than tin pres
ent laws. r«s the opinion of l»r. W It. Col
litis, State Health officer, who has Just
returned from Laredo and the border conn
try.
There are many factors, aceordiug to l>r.
Collins, that make it practically impossible
to keep Mexicans from entering the I nited
Stales, by a clover evasion of the immigra
tiou laws, particular!) that section known
as the "pauper law." which requires each
fmmlgrant to have £'.(> gold. A" ording to
one story told l>r. Collins while in Laredo,
he states that the same amount and Identi-
cal money is used time after time by a band
of Mexicans
A group that desires to enter the United
States will club together and raise the
Then, after passing the health require
nients, make their way across the border
into the United States, returning the niouev
by a trusted member of the nand, to lie
used tfrne after time. Should the officials
become advised as to the plan the party
will move up the border to the next sta-
tion.
It also was told I>r. Collins that because
Immigration agents list these men as soon
as they arrive in the United Sjates, that
they are not exerting any great amount of
diligence in preventing the evasioo of the
pauper clause of the immlgratfon officials.
I>r Collins denies emphatically that he
made any such statement as quoted in one
newspaper recently that charged the immi-
gration officials with furnishing the money
thereby these Mexicans evaded the pauper
clause.
"'That is ridiculous," Dr. Collins safd to-
day.

The Expreaa Austin Buret a
AUSTIN. Tex., Jan. 31.—Peter Radford,
State Warehouse Commissioner, has re-
turned from Washington, D. C . where, in
company with officials of the Farmers'
Umon and other representatives from
Texas,4 be appeared before the Committee
on Hanking of the House in behalf of
rural credit assistance for the people. from
the National Government Mr. ltadford
says the bill introduced bv It. L. Henry,
Congressman from Texas, on rural credits,
will not be reported out by the committee,
but that a committee substitute will be
offered on the floor and that numerous
amendments suggested will be offered to
the committee bill.
It is the further belief of Mr. Radford
that, unless a law of houic kind is passed
for Government aid, there will be no aid
for th • farmers. He believes, however, that
a bill < f some kind will be passed by Con-
gress to aid the farmers of the country.
SUITS IN 38 COUNTIES
Th<» Fiprc»R Austin Bureau.
At'STI.N, lex . Jan. ;tl The State Tax
Hoard has requested Attorney tieneral
l.ooiiey to assist the defense In the nuuier
011s suits filed by the International & tireat
Northern Railroad cnutestlng the lntnnglbli.
assets tax valuation made bv the hoard,
and Ml l.nout V has assigned I.uther Ne k
els to that task. Mr Nickels Is in charge
of all railroad litigation and tax questions
pertaining to them. Several counties also
have importuned the Attorney general to
lend help in defeuding the suits, and Mr.
Nickels will be sent to them. Among the
counties applying is Travfs.
Two counts stand out prominent In the
aults. First, the contention that the road,
now in receivership, has no intangible
value; but, if it has, the amount is much
JeKs than the figure named by the State
lax Board. Second, that there is local dts-
crfnilnatlon In fixing the valuations for
taxation purposes.
Y\ hile the first questl >n was once declrt
ed in the Federal courts, it was only In a
preliminary Injunction and did not be
come res adjudicata and. therefore, mav be
taisod again. Mr. Nickels will devote his
tPme to that question nml the local county
attorneys to defending the charge of dls
crimination in local assessments.
As the International .V (treat Northe.n
has filed these suits In thirty-eight conn
tics, and Mr. Nickels probahh will pnrtlcl
pate In a majority of (he cases, ft Is going
to take some energetic work to get around
to all of them, especially where conflicts
occur In settings.
When the iutangible asset tax law was
first enacted its constitutionality was at
tacked by the railroads, but It' went the
gauntlet of the courts and was held valid.
Attacks now must lie directed to erroneous
acts and valuations of the board admfnls
terlng the law, as lias been done in the In
ternatlonal A- Orcat Northern cases, and
