ON COTTON ACREAGE REDUCTION
Declares Against Infliction of the Imprisonment
Penalty and Suggests
of the StateBe Invoked to Compel Compliance
with Lavh ifV' f-':-rfKv
By Peter Molyneaax.
' Houston Post Staff Correspondent
1USTIN. Texas October t. Declaring
agalnrt th felony clause In th cotton
acreage bill drawn by Attorney General
Looney and suggesting that after all tax-
ation might be the beet way to handle
the queailon. Gomraw Colquitt sent to
the legislature today a message which la
taken by many to be a "solemn warn-
itg" that if this question la not acted on
before adjournment there will be a fourth
called session.
"I now come to you In a final appeal
aaya the governor In bis message 'and
ask the legislature to give sertoua con-
sideration to the question presented for
the reduction of cotton production next
year. Where there is a will to do a
way cru be found to do It and I be-
seech the legislature betore it adjourns
to find a way to meet the situation.
Meantime the senate has not acted on
the sine die adjournment resolution of
the house that would bring the session
to a close tomorrow at noon. An amend-
ment has been laid on the table subject
to call which provides for adjournment
on Wednesday and there is talk of an-
other amendment fixing the date at Oc-
tober Si which would be at the end of
tho SO-day limit. The Utter suggestion is
made with the idea of preventing the
calling of a fourth session of the present
legislature though permitting the mem-
bers to go home whenever they pleased.
IS OPPOSED TO
IMPRISONMENT SCHEME.
Governor Colquitt's message today U
taken as indicative of his determination
to have action on the proposition of re-
ducing acreage even though a fourth
session 1 necessary to accomplish this.
"1 do not recommend in fact I am op-
posed to making any violation of the law
having lor Its object an enforced reduc-
tion of the cotton acreage of 11S a fel-
ony" he declared. "It seems to me that
fixing sufficient misdemeanor penalties
would be far enough to go along this
line. But I would like to see the legisla-
ture pa a bill limiting the acreage to
be planted in cotton for next year if. In
the wisdom of the legislative body this
course snouia ov pureueu. i
with section 19 of article t of our con-
stitution. This section provides that
hm products in the hands of the pro-
ducer can not be taxed except by a two-
thirds vote of both Orancnes oi me legis-
lature it seems to me that this might
be the most practical way to reach the
situation."
'Continuing the message suggests that
any taxes so collected might be convert-
ed into a fund to aid the cotton farmer
In case of emergencies.
"I appeal at this moment of your de-
liberations to the patriotism of the mem-
bers of the legislature." continues the
message "and beg you to forget any
personal ambitions or personal animosi-
ties vou may think I entertain and get
together if possible in the enactment
of some measure which will afford the
relief through the means herein dla-
' cussed."
REEDY ALSO BACKS
AWAY FROM BILL.
Coincident with the governor's dis-
claimer of belief In the felony clause of
the bill written by Mr. Looney. the in-
troducer of the bill in the house. D. If.
Heedy. gave out a statement this after-
noon also repudiating the provisions of
the bill.
"The bill I Introduced yesterday pro-
viding for the enforced reduction of cot-
' ton acreage in 1915 does not meet with
my approval." said Mr. Reedy "especially
because of the penalty provided in It.
However the bill will be amended either
in committee or on the floor of the bouse
either by myself or others; and as in-
troduced it will serve as a basis for
action.
"I did not write the bin. and I have no
pride of authorship in it. The situation
Is more serious for the business man than
it is for the tenant farmer. If the 15000-OOO-bale
crop of 1914 is duplicated in 1915.
or If its duplication remains possible or
probable who can hope for a higher price
either this year or next? If a 15.000000-
bals visible supply will not command a
fair price in 1914. how can such price be
expected for a visible supply of 20.000.000
or 25000000 bales In 1915? This Is not a
time for criticism or complaining but for
action. I appeal to the business men of
Texas
sxas and to the farmers of Texas to help
i perfect house bill No. 9 and to pass it'
us
SENTIMENT AGAINST
ANY LEGISLATION.
The sentiment both in the house and
senate it might be said in connection
with the governor's latest proposition is
I not so much against the penalty that was
provided in the bill drawn by Mr. Looney
i as against any form of enforced reduction
of acreage. The majority are opposed to
' the State saying in any manner shape
t or form what a man shall plant on his
r own property.
I The house spent most of toe day debat-
t Ing the bill divorcing seed oil mills and
1 cotton gins where the same are owned
by corporations. After amending it by
striking out the preamble which recited
: the existence of certain alleged iniquitous
conditions in the State toe bill was en
t grossed by a vote of 76 to 26. An effort
j was made to have exempted co-operative
cotton seed oil mills and gins owned by
V tanners Dut tnis tauea.
' BANKS TO SUBSCRIBE
' TO COTTON POOL.
The bill empowering State banks to join
the federal reserve was further amended
today in such a way as to empower State
banks to subscribe to the 1160000000 pool
- - which Is being organized by the banks to
7 handle the cotton crop. This was done in
response to the request of a committee
. of Dallas bankers which came to Austin
today to make this request The bill
.... finally passed by a vote of 105 to 2.
A sharp debate developed this afternoon
- when the bill forbidding individuals from
i. Awnuur stock In a cotton Bin and cotton
seed oil mills at the same time came up
' to be acted upon. The hill was at
Bounced in unmeasured ' terms by Klrby
larver. uuie. ttusseu ana otners.
' Klrby declared that It is time to call a
bait on the policy of the legislature
" manufacturing crimes for the citizen to
' commit and hedging his actions in de-
V Veloping the State around with pernicious
limitations.
. When adjournment was taken this
afternoon there was pending an amend
ment striking out the enacting clause of
the Dili mis win pe pending business
tomorrow morning.

DOCTORED HIS THROAT TO
ANNOUNCE BASEBALL SCORE
"Hose" Feared His Voice Was Going
"Bad" but Found He Was
mistaken.
Mose the head of The Post's newsy
staff was seen in a new trole Friday
and those who heard his distinct enuncia
tion of the playS of the first world series
game didn t realize what pains and
trouble Moee had gone through to be
able to sit near the clicking telegraph
machine and transmit to the waiting
crowd the story of the game as It came
over the wire word by word.
Tnursaay night Mose was despondent.
Mose has a second name all rivht. but to
tne inemoer-g oi i ne rost s city stall he
is just plain "Mose." and he'll answer
to tne name three blocks away.

among the newsies on the streets and
Mose had had offers from other places
to call out the score. "But I'd rather
work for a newspaper" said Mose with
the emphasis on the last word. Mose is
proud of his paper.
And then came an account of what he
was doing to save his voice. "I got some

a spring toward it. .
"Post here I Midnight edition I" rang

All Houston declared a holiday Friday

practically suspended for a period of two

fans who kept their noses to the' grind-
stone between the hour of 1 and S
o'clock Friday afternoon they are yet
to b discovered. At any rate several
hundred are known to have held close to
the motto that "If business interferes
with pleasure give up your business."
These several hundred were included
in the crowd of spectators who gathered
In front of The Post score board and bul

ister to an humble chimney sweep. There
were Judges of high courts city and coun-

Prominent among the spectators was
a group including Rev. Peter Oray Sears
who appeared to enjoy the proceedings
as much 'as any. one although of course

hub ranee that one naturally expects

rescue. For this worthy purpose the
true apostle of reel benefit to humanity
placed a five dollar bill on the editor s
desk. All day the plain workaday office
has been glorified and the "petty cares
which Infest the day have folden their
tents like the Arabs and as silently stolen
away." What difference if the way
seems hard what matters If it does take
days of writing and hundreds of papers
with pleas for some move of betterment

ration to the editor who 1 striving te'

?uota of news something which will tend

which has already been Speeded on its
way to its destination has served a
double purpose; It will - bless those for
whom it Is given and it has brightened
