In the state election Satur-
day the people of Texas voiced
their sentiments for repeal and
against prohibition. The
amendment for old age pen-
sions carried by almost four to
one.
A canvass of state returns
will probably not be made un-
til about Sept 9, at which time
accurate figures will be avail-
able.
Tabulations available to the
Times on the rej eal vote show-
ed 262,185 in favor of discard-
ing prohibition, compared to
the 207,608 ballots rounded up
by the dry a
The proposed amendments
concerning old age pension
commitment of insane, si
pended sentences and fee
abolition carried. Proponents
for those concerning amend-
ment submission and textbooks
for private schools apparently
had lost their fight
Latest returns on the voting,
other than the repeal ballot-
ing, were:
Old age pensions: For 369,
858; against, 92,892.
Commitment of insane; For
255,216; against 167,223.
Amendment submission; For
1874162; against 200,203.

UNDER THE DOME AT AUSTIN m schools of

Austin, Tex., Aug. 29, (UP)
—Definite provision for can-
vassing the returns of last Sat-
urday’s election is lacking un-
der the state laws. By infer-
ence the same procedure fol-
lowed in canvassing returns of
elections of district and state
officers is intended—a canvass
16 days after the vote is cast.
An old statute on canvassing
election returns included the
returns of elections upon pro-
posed constitutional amend-
ments. 5n a revision of the
law, constitutional amend-
ments were omitted in naming
the elections.
Farther along when the sta-
tute directs delivery of returns
to the Secretary of State for
canvassing, it is directed that
the returns on constitutional
amendments be so delivered.
In the absence of other
skm, the canvass
made on the sixteenth
canvass will be

What the Farmer
Receives
Had you over stopped to think why it is, that
for all your sales of cotton, bay, stock and pro-
duce you receive a bank check in payment?
Has it occurred to you that too purchaser of
your farm products takes your receipt for ev-
ery dollar paid you in this manner?
If business men find a cheek account a neces-
sity in their transactions with the public, such
an account is surely important in your own af-
fairs. When you pay your bills in cash you
are running risks of “bad memory,” "careless-
ness,” “short change.” and a chance of having
to pay a second time.
A check account eliminates all such chances
of error—for your cheek on this bank is s rec-
ord in writing, witnessed, receipted and there-
fore, undisputed evidence.

The omission of constitu-
tional amendments in the elec-
tion canvassing statute is only
one of the many inconsistencies
in tews laws pertaining to elec-
tions and the campaign pre-
ceding them.
The new departmental ap-
propriation bill, to become ef-
fective on Sept. 1 for two
years, attempted to regulate
conduct of state employes in
campaigns by forbidding pay-
ment to them for the appro-
priation if they did specified
things.
—UP—
It forbids an employe to
campaign for the elective head
of bis department in the coun-
ty where the employe lives. It
forbids the employe campaign-
ing outside the county of his
residence for the head of any
other department.
Apparently legislators meant
to limit the employe's political
activity so he could not cam-
paign for his boss anywhere
and for others only in the
county where he resided.
The wording lets him cam-
paign for his employer any-
where except in the county
where he lives.
—UP—
The appropriation bill also
sought to regulate the use of
state owned automobiles in
political campaigns. It, too, is
worded peculiarly.
The automobile may be
used for campaigning when it
also is used on the same trip
for state purposes by the
words of the act, though that
was not the legislators’ intent.
State employes who have
kept rails and airplanes hot
rushing between Austin and
Washington, will have to con-
sult Attorney General William
McCraw about their trips af-
ter Sept. L
The new appropriation bill
halts such trips at state ex-
pense without a previously
filed opinion from the Attor-
ney General that the trip is
properly one on state business.
Numerous exceptions are
made. McCraw’s own force of
assistants wiU need no such
opinions to go to Washington
to appear before the U. & Su-
preme Court or federal agen-
cies. The Adjutant General
can go to the War Department
without previous approval.
The Governor, Lieutenant-.
Governor and Department
heads can make trip* on their
owr. decision that the trips are
nee. isary and railroad com-
mit oners and employes may
attend interstate rate hearing
at discretion.

When traveling, state em-
ployes will be limited to |2
for a night’s lodging and 61.80
a day for meals. They must
take receipts for all expendi-
tures of more than 60 cents.
They cannot collect from the
state for tips to waiters.
Apparently the Pullman
porter can be tipped if lira
employe hag made np the dif-
ference between 32 for lodg-
ing and a Pullman berth.
If an employe uses a state
automobile in traveling, it
will have to be dirty much of
the time. He can have it wash-
ed and polished at state
pence only once a month.

Texas Centennial year has
started a new fad in the state.
Delving into state history, peo-
ple have vecome interested in
the part their relatives had in
it.
Some families are having
their own pageants. At these
pageants, present-day mem-
bers of the family dress as their
forbears did, and re-enact the
principal events of their lives.
Some go into the attic and
find the original costumes. The
family pageants premise to
feature most of the family re-
unions in Texas next year.
Regents of the Univeraity of
Texas blushingly discovered
that they had violated rules of
the Southwest Conference by
failing to let a faculty member
retain the university’s vote in
the conference, when athletics
were re-arranged. Cautiously
they kept the omission quiet
while they repaired it.
When it was discovered,
reluctantly they admitted it
Prof. W. E. Meteenthm, tem-
porarily deposed voter,
thought it ail a “myth,” then
found out he had been rein-
stated but not informed of the
regents’ action. Regent meet-
ings are not open to the pub-
lic.

Repeal election day brought
many reminiscences about the
state capitol.
One waa of days when a
cooling glass of beer could be
had in cloak rooms when legis-
lative sessions became too hot.
'Remember when bartend-
ers always handed a smoker
his cigar in a whisky glass
with a fringe of matches?"
said one.
“And when the bartenders
parted hot checks on the bar
glass?” chimed in another.
Most poignant of all was:
"Remember when you could
get a delicious hot roast beef
sandwich around noon free
with a nickel glass of beer?”
