An amendment to article T sections It
and 11 of our constitution should be pro-
posed and submitted to vote of tha
people at tha- next regular election pro
vldlng for tha separation of tha Aanou-
tural and Mechanical 00 liege and tha Uni-
versity of Texas. This amendment should
provide for the appointment of regents
for both Institutions with longer terms af
office a . board of nine regents with
terms of six years three to be appointed
every two years would be tar better than
the present provision for two-year terms
for regents oft these Institutions. - Care
should be taken' tn thla proposed amend-
ment to make the terms of all boards for
State educational and eleemosynary and
penal Institutions six Instead of two
years and I sincerely hope that It will be
done thus removing aa far aa practi-
cable the managers of these Institutions
from tba. effects of politics and changes
In administrations. ; The proposed amend-
ment should also make provision for sep-
arate income lor the. State Institutions

"-"'Vi'-'.W PvmH Lands.
Of all )awe complained of heretofore en-
acted involving general policy of the
State none have dona mora to retard Its
development and growth than our land
law a .- Under these taw practically all
lands of much value have been disposed
of with the result that large tracts have
been accumulated In tha hands of Indi-
viduals. Whether this baa been dons In
strict conformity with the law as doubt-
less has been done la vary many cases
or whether It has been the result of col-
lusion the policy baa permitted1 It and
the result baa been to the State's disad-
vantage 'and has kept back Its settle-
ment and development. Bad a wise land
policy obtained In Una with that of the
Federal government there would be to-
day I sincerely believe ten millions of
people In Texas whereas the census gives
us less than four millions. The differ-
enoe In the effect ot the two policies Is
Illustrated by Greer county. Oklahoma
which formerly was under the Jurisdiction
of Texas. Whan the Texas land laws ap-
plied there were but few people In that
oounty and very . little production of
wealth from tha cultivation of the sou.
As soon aa It was transferred tQ the Fed-
eral Jurisdiction the lands of Green coun-
ty came Into demand for settlement were
put into cultivation and that county Is
now one of tha most densely populated
counties In our neighboring State a fam-
ily residing. It Is said on nearly every
quarter section of land. Just across Red
river to the south where our lead policy
la applied and .with really better lands
there are bat few people and the land is
In large tracts and as a rule not tn cul-
tivation t -
The population la sparse and the lands
non producing. But aa tba land commis-
sioner says In his last annual report. It
Is probably a waste of time to now dis-
cuss what the land policy of -the State
should have been. Out of 145000000
seres he shows that approximately 46.-
800000 acres were set apart to the publio
school fund leas than per cent ot which
now remains uneoia or .oo.vss
According to ma statement more
1
three million acres of this land Is pro-
ducing no revenue to the school fund.
Most of this land ilea In the lulls and
mountains) west of the Pecos river and
he says is "inaccessible for-human resi-
dence." Tour careful attention la Invited
to what the land commissioner says about
It m hia report. '
.Especially Is your earnest consideration
Invited to the state of the present law
relating to mineral rights and mineral
tends which is discussed also by ths land
commissioner In his report. An enlight-
ened policy as shown by the development
of the mineral wealth of other States Is
necessary to produce like results In Tex-
as. There is no doubt but that . with
proper amendment to bur i laws which
would eneourage Investments in prospect-
ing and development it ; would soon be
shown that Texas In tha barren section
or a portion of It mentioned by the land
commissioner- ia as rich In mineral aa
are the hills and mountains of the re-
public across the Rio Grande to the south.
Under Che' law the 1 ooromlestoner of
the -general land office la vested with
large discretionary powera. In the past
as now If he .had reason to believe there
was fraud or collusion -he could refuse
to sell land without assigning a reason.
If lands bare been purchased through
fraud and by collusion there should be
proper prosecution of those responsible
for it and due efforts should be made
to restore such lands to the State. . Suits
should never be brought for the purpose
of harassing the cttisen who Is honestly
trying to develop lands he baa purchased
la good faith from the State and a gen-
eral disquieting of titles' brought about
In order that such-suits niay be made
to do political service for somebody: nor
should the agents of the State paid out
of the publio treasury and having access
to the records and Information obtainable
only in the land office be allowed to re-
main tn the State's service while accept-
ing fees from private persons Interested
who may be willing to pay Mm for in-
formation gained In hla offtoial capacity.
. As sood aa I can collect soma data that
is accurate and reliable with reference to
oolluatve purchases- ot publlq larfde and
tha suits relating thereto- I expect to
transmit It to the legislature for consid-
eration with such comment on same as
maybe pertinent and Just t. .v.-.fl
V'-' 1 Irrigation and . ConaervaMen -'-. '
. There are mtnioas'ot acres of land In
Texas that are. idle and nonproductive.
Which' with Irrigation could be mad pro-
ductive of great wealth- Our Irrigation
laws should be remodeled so aa to en-
courage the Investment of capital in irrl-'
gatlon systems and the construction of
reservoir tor the conservation storage
and distribution - of waters and which
would at the asm time safeguard and
protect the customers of Irrigation com-
panies. With proper irrigation the pro-
ductiveness of these lands would be In-
creased many million of doltam annually.
Neither dor law nor th appropriation
made by the legislature have given suffi-
cient encouragement to agriculture. There
has been a auparabuadanos of political
legislation and a multiplicity of office
and -department and 00m missions out
the consideration given to v agricultural
experiments and agricultural framing ha
beea tardily bestowed. The wealth pro-
ducing power ot the agricultural lands in
thla State with' Intense farming methods
need la almost . beyond computation.
Money expended for experiments and the.
teaching of these methods wlU be money
-well used and I moat thoroughly approve
tha declaration tn tha democratic platform
In favor of the establishment of aa many
agricultural training schools as practica-
ble. . With the best methods of farming
In use with land fn email tract and cul-
tivated by modern methods the product
from agriculture alone In Texas would
support a population equal to that' of
Fraace and still have more to sell abroad

ture provides 'that each Indigent former
Confederate soldier who can establish hi
right thereto; aa provided in th act shaB

aough money In th 'treasury to do so.
At the time this set waa passed the
total amount' avauabl for Confederate
pensions wa l60oMv per 'annum that
being the maximum fixed by the consti-
tution which could be expended for that
purpose. At the time the law was passed
there were approximately 7M pensioner
carried on the Confederate pension 'rolls
and M per month woald have required $M
per year for each pensioner or a total
of ti 3000 per annum.' Thar are now
11.1M Confedwate pensioner n they

this small sunt reaches them with per-

assured to the Inadequate office force of

be taken to fulfill the provision of th

quires great vigilance on "the part of
health officers to pep pestilential dis-
ease out of Texas and prevent . their
spread after they develop here. A 3 equate
provision with proper safeguards for ex-
penditure of moneys should be made for
such emergencies. The legislature should
provide for the butldlngrand maintenance
of a sanitarium for the care of indigent
consumptives. A leprosy colony should
be established where those afflicted Srith
that terrible disease could be properly
cared for and separated from the general
public. . The sweetest charity dispensed

The food and milting law providing tor
inspectors and the purs food laws pre
vlding for th offloe ot dairy and pur
food commissioner should be amended
and 'consolidated In one statute and the
Two? departments oombtned into one with
offices in the capltoj. It la believed that
much more effective service could no se-
cured and double work . and expense
avoided w this ' course. " Considerable
saving probably as much aa llt.OOO per
annum. It ia estimated; could be effected
In tola way... Besides after a manufac-
turer's goods are examined and stamped
by State authority it la worth something
to the manufacturer and a "small fee
should be charged for thla work. With
these laws revised and the two depart-
ments consolidated much more effective
results can be obtained and a great deal
more revenue would be derived from this
SOUTOO.
7 ' ' -A Conclusion.. -:
In conclusion let me again express the
opinion that after many year of strenu-
ous legislative program we can well af-
ford to take a rest from" additional new
and untried lawa and legislative theories
ot governmental interference with the de-
tailed activities of the citixen in his busi-
ness affairs. We need time in wnloh to
familiarise ourselves with the laws we
already have. Although many of them
need amending there is no general de-
mand on the part of the Texas people
for any harassing new ones... Neeniesa
legislation and unnecessary political
strife retards the progress of the citl-
sen himself and keeps back the develop-
ment of the State. Let's devote the time
and energy we have to an effort to de-
velop the mlnda and heart of our peo-
ple to a higher standard and to a better
'understanding of 'the right of on an-
other and those things generally-which
will stimulate self-government. We can
afford to give Investors assurance that
the constitution and laws of Texaa seek
to protect every honest dollar honestly
invested no matter from whence It
eomes. We can afford to encourage In-
vestment of capital In developing the rich
reaouroes of our State not by exemption
lawa nor social favors but by giving aa-
auranoe that the law will protest the hon-
est investor who ia lawabldlag and. In
good faith seeks to observe the lew. As-
sure labor that It will be protected tn all
Its Just demands upon organised capital
and protect organised capital In legiti-
mate uses and development from the ven
geance of predatory politicians; abolish 4
all useless ornoes ana places and create
no new onea not essential to the publio
good. I sincerely hope the session of the
legislature will be pleasant and agreeable
to lta members as brief aa possible to
dispose of the necessary public business;
and that your sojourn In Austin may In-
spire you with a good opinion of its
splendid citlsenahlp; and. you take home
with you. at your adjournment th good
will of all Ita dtlsena and have the plau-
dit of approval of the people through-
out the State. Respectfully submitted

f AUSTIN Texaa. January !. The sum
total of the activities of th houaa today
was represented in tb introduction of
thirty-two bUls hearing the initial me-
age of Governor Colquitt and refusing
by a vote of it to ft to amend the re-
port of the rule committee so a to pro-
vide for a revision bf the rules upon the
affirmative vote of a majority.
- Oh the proposition to make it possible
for a majority of the house to revise the
rules Gllmora sought to make his amend-
ment to that effect apply to a majority
Of -the members present and voting to
supersede the present rule providing that
two-thirds ot such a number might re-
scind and revise them. -For thla Walker
brooosed a substitute nrovidina; that a
majority of the members elected should v
have the ought-arter authority wmcn
substitute was-accepted by Gilmore. .
The lengthy debate which followed-
ahewed that the member of th house
were not on this question divided Into
pro and antl factions but rather Into
Rayburn and Gilmore camps.- Pro at-
tacked pro with the utmost vigor. Speaking-taenia
substitute Walker declared
that only by Its adoption could the house
be assured that Its business would be
handled expeditiously. He ' appealed to
th members to vote for it if they desired
to have regulatory measures acted upon
Denial .by Slnghtton. & p '--
Singleton spoke in opposition declaring
that th minority should at least b a
ured of a hearing. He evented th charge
mad by some who interrupted him with
questions. Intimating that the minority
contemplated employing dilatory tactic
In order to carry their points and assert-
ed that when a measure was introduced
with obvious merit that he for one would
enter no opposition. - - --j i v
Brown attacked Singleton's proposition
and Nickels followed suit in an impas-
sioned speech against hla substitute de-
claring that the adaption thereof would
mean the opening of "the very-floodgate
of filibustering and dilatory tactics.'' He
adjured the pro members to vote solidly
against th substitute and declared that
the pros have always In every campaign
gone to pieces at the psychological mo-
ment when they should have stood as a
unit. For thi statement he wa - up-
braided by some of the pros but b atucK
to it nevertheless. . ' ' v-
; Dotaon of Nacogdoches added th
weight of his argument -against the 1 iub-
tltute and while he waa speaking Walk-
er asked "Don't you believe In legislative
reetr- To this .Dotaon replied "I do
when it rests my way" hastily disavow-
ing any sort of fealty to the slogan of th
new governor. . . . ".''.-.".
Bufttngton Tanrr and HIU rpok at
great length the two former favoring the
amendment and the latter violently oppos-
ing It HU1 declared that the adoption of
the substitute would mean the Inaugura-
tion of a policy of "you tickle me andj
will tickle you." He held that It would
mean a constant swapping of Influence
between member desiring to put through
bill ot local Importance while matter
of general Interest wer allowed to go
' without attention.. r-"5 -..'.' "'rtt f-
