MORATORIUM DECLARED
FOR TEXAS BANKS
AUSTIN, March 2.—Governor Mir-
iam A. Ferguson late Thursday or-
dered all the banks of Texas closed
for a five-day banking moratorium.
The banks were ordered to remain
closed through Tuesday, March 7.
The order also applies to trust
companies, building and loan com-
panies, and other financial institu-
tions.
The governor’s proclamation came
with a suddenness which shocked the
capitol.
“Friday morning the governor will
send up to the legislature relief meas-
ures,” James E. Ferguson announced.
“This relief legislation will take the
form of quick laws restricting with-
drawals during the emergency.”
Mr. Ferguson said that the lead-
ing bankers of the state, especially
the federal reserve bankers, believed
that this five-day breathing spell
would iron out and tide over a rather
difficult and critical situation.
MILLIONAIRES ENVY
MAYORS WITH $12 IN
CASH AS BANKS CLOSE
TULSA, Okla., March 3.—Twelve
dollars in pocket money made Mayor
Herman Newblock the envy of mil-
lionaires in Tulsa Thursday.
The millionaires’ money was in
j banks closed by virtue of Governor
William H. Murray’s state-wide proc-
| lamation.
One oil magnate sheepishly display-
ed his treasury—$1.20. Other rich
men were forced to content them-
' selves with coins.

FRIDAY
NUMBER 307
BUSINESS CONDUCTED
AS USUAL
The directors of the Chamber of
Commerce met Friday morning to
discuss the closing of all banks in
the state for a period of five days by
order of a proclamation issued by
Governor Ferguson. The directors
immediately got out petitions to cir-
culate among the Lampasas business
men expressing their belief in our
banks and stating that business
would be conducted during the five-
day closing period just as in the past.
If you have a charge account in
Lampasas with the merchants it will
serve your! needs1 just as in the past,
and if your check has been honored
by the merchants it will also be hon-
ored now for the payment of Nyour
account or for the purchase of mer-
chandise. Several business houses
were rustling early Friday morning
for change with which to operate, as
they had deposited their money
Thursday and had no idea that the
banks would not be open this morn-
ing. (
This is a state-wide proposition and
also exists in many states besides
our own.

He was chosen for that post early
Thursday night by a caucus of the
democratic members. This action
was equivalent to his election because
of the preponderant democratic ma-
jority. Rainey was named on the first
ballot. He received 166 votes, 16
more than necessary for election.

tiary. The state alleged Flippen ex-
torted fees of office during 1930.
