STATE CAPITAL TOPICS
Special Legislative Session Didn’t
Do Anything of Value; Scrap:
, Connally jtap* Tug well
Nr
Austin, Oct. 15 — The first called
session of the 44th legislature wrote
finis to its inglorious record of final
enactment of only one major piece of
legislation, and was promptly recalled
by the governor for a' second 30-day
try at the job at a cost of anothei
$1000,000 to the taxpayers. The chain
store tax bill—virtually the sole ac-
complishment of the solons in a month
of “fcrork"—is so badly patched up
. that it is full of legal holes, and must
be fought out all over again, as
amendments to make it proof against
court attacks are submitted.
Some value doubtless attaches to
the long drawn-out debate and com-
mittee wrangles over liquor regulation,
fee officers’ salaries, and old age pen-
sions. Whether the legislators can
capitalize this and utilize it to speed
enactment of these and important tax
measures to finance the pensions dur-
ing the second special session remains
to be seen.

Cabeza de Vaca, the first white man
to cross Texas, had a name which
translated from the Spanish means
“head of a cow”, Centuries later Tex-
as was to become one of the greatest
cattle countries in the world. That’s
one for Mr. Robert Ripley. :

Nature never intended anything that
grows as fast as the fish from the
time it gets into the boat to the time
the angler is telling about it, at the

Three significant developments oc-
curred last week in the Texas oil sit-
uation. They were: *
1. The house hot oil investigating
committee weathered a stormy three-
hour debate and came' out with its life
prolonged to April 1, 1936, and a
$10,000 fund to make a thoro probe of
reported abuses in the industry. The
house flutly instructed its probers to
make its future hearings fair by per-
mitting witnesses to be represented
by counsel, with the right of cross-
examination and with a warning to
go after major companies and not con-
fine its probe to a few small oper-
ators.
2. General improvements in market
conditions of the oil industry whose
normal prosperity means millions of
dollars weekly to thousand of Texans.
War activity in Europe is credited
with increasing foreign demand which
has firmed American crude 'markets.
3. Holding of second successful ses-
sion of the interstate oil states com-
pact commission where further unani-
mous steps were taken by represen-
tatives of the oil producing states
to regulate their oil business under
their own constitutional powers.
Thousands of unemployed citizens
and dozens of communities in Texas,
are looking squarely to the engineers
department of the Texas highway com-
mission to see that Texas does not lose
any of the $23,000,000 allotted for ex-
tra highway and grade crossing eli-
mination in the state. To get all
these job-giving millions, the highway
engineers must complete plans and let
contracts by July 1, 1936. A howl of
protest will go up from every com-
munity that foils to realize its shore
if the time limit is permitted to cheat
them of their part of this highway
work.
Realizing they are “on the spot”
engineering field forces of the high-
way department last week launched
the first of a series of four meetings
with road-building contractors thru-
out the state at whi<?h B. W. Coulter,!
of the headquarters engineering staff i
and C. H. Newell, representative of •
the contractors, are interpretating the
complicated regulations with which
the contractors must comply, as parts
of this program are being built un-
der five different federal department
allocations. The field sessions were
held in San Antonio on October 16th,
Houston, October 17, and will move to
Dallas on the 23rd and Lubbock on
the 24th. Several hundred road-build-
ers J>nd highway engineering men at-
tended each meeting.

That Gov,. Jimmie Allred will be a
large fketor in control of the next
Democratic convention delegation
from Texas—to be selected next sum-
mer—is the conclusion of 'political
observers here. The visit of Jesse
Jones, who was a mansion guest of
the. Allreds, the growing political
friendship between the governor and
the two Texas senators, Allred’s re-
cent conference nt lTvalde V' ■
President Garner, his visit with Mrs.
Roosevelt in Fort Worth, and Pres-
ident Roosevelt’s personal telegram to
Allred anent the celebration for Jones,
are all given due significance in the
minds of those who presume to fore-
cast future political events.
Rex Tugwell, once head of the
Roosevelt brain-trust, now relegated
to a quiet job as head of the rural
resettlement administration, and Sen-
ator Tom Connally are indulging in
a small but bitter war over location of
the Texas-Oklahoma headquarters of
RRA in Stillwell, Okla. The RRA re-
cently had 1200 people — mostly ex-
school teachers—on its payroll in Tex-
as, and they haven’t “re-settled” any-
body yet, Connally claims. The senator
wants the headquarters moved to some
central location in Texas, and some
results shown for the comparatively
large expenditure which'the RRA has
made. 1 :
