Law Regulating Cotton
Acreage Enacted Monday
Announcing Examinations
For Government Positions
Austin, Texas, Sept. 21.—The
Legislature Monday adopted the free
conference committee report limiting
the cotton crop of 1932 and 1933 to 30
per cent of the tilled soil. The senate
adopted the report, 17 to 10. The vote
in the House was 80 to 32.
The bill reported hy the confer-
ence committee provided that cotton
not to exceed 30 jper cent of the land
.cultivated during 1931 rnay be planted
in 1932; that no land planted to cot-
ton in 1932 may be planted to that
crop in 1933; that not more than 30
-percent of the land planted to all
.crops in 1932 may be planted to cot-
ton in 1933, and that in 1934 and the
years thereafter no land may be plan-
ted to cotton that was planted to cot-
ton the preceding year.
The Senate bill sent to the confer-
ence committee restricted planting to
.25 per cent of the cultivated land in
1932 and 1933, and the House bill
fixed the restriction at 33 1-3 percent.
The conference committee compro-
mised on the Senate and House bills.
The conference report was adopted
in the Senate after but one speech.
T. J. Holbrook attacked it.
Vote on Report
The vote adopting the report fol-
lows:
Ayes: Beck, Berkeley, Cunningham,
DeBerry, Hardin, Loy, Neal, Oneal,
Parr, Parrish, Patton, Poage, Russek,
Small, Thomason, Williamson, and
Woodward—17.
Noes: Cousins, Holbrook, Hopkins,
Hornsby, Martin, Moore, Purl, Raw-
lings, Woodruff and Woodul—10.
Absent: Gainer, Greer, Pollard and
Stevenson.—4.
Mr. Holbrook called the bill “incon-
gruous, disjointed, disconnected and
’dissapointing.” He said it was con-
ceived in foolishness, its provisions
were foolish and it is impracticable
and impossible of enforcement.” He
termed it a political loophole through
which Senators would seek to escape,
in fooling the farmers but predicted
that the farmers will not be fooled
and would know that these Senators
have been hot and cold in being for
cotton and then saying no cotton.
He said there is no relief m the
bill and that it is impossible of en-
forcement besdes being unconsituton-
,al in half a dozen places.
After the vote was taken, Miss
- xvxargie E. Neal, who originally sup-
ported the Long bill, said that when
.she could not get what she wanted she
took what she could get, and like a
good Democrat, went with the major-
ity. This started the discussion anew
.and several speeches were made.
Arguments by J. C. Kennedy and
C E Farmer that the effect of the
acreage reduction bill as it came from
the conference commttee will be to
benefit the big farmer and penalize
the man with a few acres were of no
avail when the House took up the
conference report. J. J. °1"en, °^'
inal author of the House bill, offered
the motion to adopt the conference re-
port and Penrose Metcalfe offered a
motion to send the bill back with the
same conferees from the House m
structed to stand solidly for the 33 1
per cent plan. The Metcalfe motion
was tabled and the report was adopt-
,.ed by 8 to 32.

on the qge of our store to draw business, but upon its ab-
