For one thltiR, Miriam FerRu*on
vetoed after It had paxxed both
IIoiim- and Senate of courao the
appropriation of $1,800 for a Ma-
ternity Monte enforcement officer
and with a stroke of the name
(pen ah* approved an appropriation
of $2,500 for an A**iatanl Super-
visor of KImIi llatcherlea. You old-
er mother* know of the unapaak-
able condition* that prevailed In
neRro midwife xupervlaed materni-
ty houaea for unfortunate white
women In 1928. Wax Miriam Fer-
Riiaon representing you when ahe
cul off all hope of decent condl-
tlona for mother* and liable*? Wa*
ahe?
Practically the firat thought If
not the firat words of every In-
formed young mother when ahe re-
gain* connclouanea* after dear-end-
lug Into the valley of the xhudnw
of death that a little life may come
Into the world la “Did they put the
{drops tn my baby'a eyea?” She
i knows that 90 per cent of hllndneaa
at birth can be prevented hy all-
ver nitrate or similar drop*
So Imperative la thin treatment,
conaldered that the Legislature
passed a law requiring the Hoard
of Health to furnlnh “such silver
nitrate solution or other prophy-
lactic dropa free of coat to the poor
of the State"- to the fathers and
mothers unable to buy It - and pre-
scribed u ponaty for violation of
the law hy doctors, physicians,
midwlvea, nurses, or those in it?-
tendance at child birth.
In 1925, Miriam Ferguson vetoed
this appropriation of $500, and at
the same time she app roved u year-
ly appropriation of $4,000 for the
cultivation of oysters and Improv-
ing oyster reefs,
IJId she represent you, the wom-
en of this state, when she blue
penciled this pitiful sum that would
have broiiRht peace of mind to
thousanda of Impoverished mo-
thers and surely have saved the
sight of Monte little unfortunate?
Did she? I wonder If the $500
thus snatched hy Mrs. Ferguson
from the appropriations to Insure
the eyesight of new horn babies
j wont to the fund that Ferguaon
used to prevent the Attorney Oen
era) forcing the American Itoad
Company and the Hoffman Con-
struction Company to bring hack
the $1,000,000 from Knn*aa City to
Texas.
Was Miriam Ferguson represent-
ing the women of Texas when ahe
vetoed the salaried of Iwo nurse*,
totaling $3,800 a year and at the
*ante lime approved a yearly ap-
propriation of $5,383.82 for Veteri-
narian Science Including a study
of the dlnense of cattle? Was ahe?
I voice no objection to husband-
Ing (he cattle and the oyxtsr* and
the fishes, but even the code of<
weather-beaten seamen Is, and al-
ways ha* been "women snd child-
ren first "
By way of enmparison of the two
administrations, (lovernor Sterling
vetoed $3,821,897.00 — saved the
tax payers this amount of hard
cash. Nevertheless, he restored
not only the Maternity Home In-
spector and the nurses, but he was
largely responsible for the division
devoted to Child Welfare and ho
approved an appropriation of $1,-
100 per annum or a total of 18,400
for silver nitrate. (See Session
laws, 42nd, pages 885 8*.

The only statewide record of |
women's parlicliatlloti in |>nllilcs of
Texas was made in 1918 The
revelations of (lie Impeachment of
I Jame* F, Ferguson were frp*h In
| their minds ae*l following the plac-
ing of his lumc on the ballot hy
the State Kxpeutlvp Committee
(and delay* '-mixed by certain lit-
gntloni the women had only 17
days In which to register (In lieu
of paying a poll taxi In order to
vote In the primaries for the first
time In the history of our state.
Were they overawed by Fer-
guson's boasts, or too timid or In-
different to vote?
No, they marched a* an army
to the 250 court houaea over Texaa
and registered as the statute re-
quired "In their own hands," aud
when the surprised and over-
whelmed county officials tabulated
the returns, they found a total of
385,000; and even Ferguaon admit-
ted In Ills Forum of Auyuat 1,
1918, that he lost the woman vote
ten to one—and how he did rave.
Women of 1918 thua registered In-
dignant proteat to Ferguson's in-
conceivable braggadochla and you
know he waa overwhelmingly de-
feated. *
Those were some of the "Wom-
en who dreamed Texas" for you
younger women, who caught the
torch from the hands of those
Texan pioneers

Ami 1 know In my heart that
women of today will not betray
their trust—that you will surpass
the march of the .'185,000 of four-
teen years ago, In voting for the
continuance in office of a man who
lms stood four-square and given
you a courageous, honest, econom-
ical admlnlatratlon during the

American Railroads Can Be Great
Influence In Restoring
Normal Conditions
A Statement to the Public by L. W. Baldwin,
President of the Missouri Pacific Lines
AMERICA never has been prosperous when our
railroads were suffering and the nation always
has prospered when the railroads did. Railroads
have suffered terribly in the last three years, losing
enormous volumes of traffic and revenues as a result
of having to combat, simultaneously, both the economic
depression and unregulated, subsidised competition.
(I Hardships to which railroads have been subjected
have resulted in their being compelled to e ntrib-
ute, unwillingly, to prevailing distress. Orest numbers
of employes have been deprived oFVork because of the
decreases in traffic volume, and purchases of the rail-
roads have had to be curtailed drastically because of
lack of funda. resulting from decreased revenues.
These conditions can be improved measurably if
L the entire transportation situation is stabilised.
In other words, if railroads and other forms of trans-
portation are placed on an equality with regard to
regulation and opportunity, the railroads can be de-
pended upon to provide America with the character
of transportation service the country must have, at J
reasonable rates, and the railroads will find it poaaible
to re-employ thousands of workers and again go intp
the markets for millions of dollars worth of iron afd
steel products, fuel—both coal and oil—lumber slid
forest products, and miscellaneous manufactured tr-
tides of every character. /
0 The restoration of the purchasing power of Amer-
ican railroads .'an he made the balancing factor
in bringing about a turn in present conditions and
eventual restoration of norma, conditions.
Q The time has come, and it is essential, that all
forma of transportation he treated equally, fairly
and justly, in the public intereat. This will be done
when the American people want it done and make
their wlahea known,
I aolicit your co-operation and aaaiatance.
