Air Cobbs Insisted that the bill seuks to
tako the juanagcineut of the Agricultural
and Mecbantcil college out of the hands of
ina directors aud placu It under the charge
of one man He claimed that the htati
has no rlrbt to do this because the college
is not entirely dependent upon the 8tato
for support but Is fostered by tha United
States governmant
Mr Cobbs reviewed the history of the
eollcga and showed how the Federal govern-
ment bad contributed to Its esUbllahmnnt
and continues to piovlds for the accom
plUhmcnl of the purposes for which It was
organised Mr Cobbs declared No law-
yer after studying tbo question can say
that the taking away from the Agricultural
aud Mechanical college of any of Its prlvl
lcie would not bu an Impairment of ion
tract
He said that the college a D 0U nah5

for the
Unltd States having provided com-
piling printing and distribution of tbern
ind that before long they will bo ds
trlhutlng 9O0i copies
Tbe State has not been generous in pro
viatng for this college said Mr Cobb
II Insisted that no part of the appropria-
tion which should go to the ollege ought
the establishment end
to be diverted for
maintenance of a new department
Touching tho consltntlorallv of the law
he Mid that ba believed certain provisions
S thblU would conflict wUh the constitution
with
tion and would undoubtedly conflict
legislative acts for th benefit of th Agrl
cultural and MechanicsJ CjUece
air Cobbs claimed that th enacting
clause of the bill was catchy providing
fo a separation of the bureau of agricul-
ture from the department of agriculture
itHistlM and not mentioning
and historv
in tho new department He nelsted that
tha Federal government having provided
tor the issuance of farmers bulletins there
occasion for a department of ngrlcul
Is no
similar duty
to undertake a
ture Mr Cobbs attacked especially the provl
stoti of the bill which makes any person
engaged In agHeultur horticulture or stock
cotton gin connty

official w offlTer of public or private
coVporatlon who refuse to answer the

he taid could never bo enforced
MnCobb inslsfd that the monev wanted

SnT are clamorlnr for It He read from
the last report of the preslrlant and board
of dlrectoM of the Arrlculturnt and Me-
chanical college which stated that more
teachers are needed In the agricultural de
iJSSVent of the college Jle read several
RSSuSpw comments which opposed the 11

waa being pushed by politicians outside th
house who would not know an agricultural

Cobbs
temporarily withdrew his amend-
ment to strike out tho enacting clausa and
Bchluter offered a substitute for the amend-
ment previously offered by Stewart and then
withdrawn providing that the Secretary of
agriculture shall have charge and control
of all th State evptrlmeutal stations ex-
cept these estsMlffoed or hereafter to be

Agricultural and Mechanical college
Beblutcr said that he would oppose any
