House Hesitates to Accept Dare
Governor Offers.
The house of representatives
hesitates to accept the “dare”
given by the governor and send
him an act making appropria-
tions for the support and main-
tenance of the University of
Texas for the next two years.
Only slight effort has been made
as yet, to give any attention to
university finances, although it
was for this the governor called
the legislature to meet.
Forty seven votes were cast
Thursday against a resolution
which sought to stimulate ac-
tion in the interest of the uni-
versity. It aroused only slight
discussion, and it appeared as
if some of the members were de-
termined the university ques-
tion should not intrude to inter-
rupt the course of the impeach-
ment investigation, while the
others did not realize the gover-
nor had called the legislature
for a specific purpose to which-
they had given no heed what-
ever. But the resolution pre-
vailed, 75 to 47.
Representative Denton of
Port Arthur, a member of the
house appropriations commit-
tee, was devoting his efforts
Thursday morning to the task
of arousing of “all for the. uni-
versity” interests to action. He
was insisting that as the gover-
nor had called the legislature to
meet for the sole purpose of
making an appropriation for the
university, and had made an of-
fer or presented a “dare”, which
ever way it might be viewed, to
enact such a bill within ten
days, promising in that event to
do his part within the succeed-
ing ten days, that the legisla-
ture should give first consider-
ation to the university appropri-
ation. Said Mr. Denton.
“I think it is the duty of those
members who have been com-
plaining about treatment ac-
corded the university to prepare
and introduce an appropriation
bill at once. The budget pre-
sented by President R. E. Vin-
son to the board of regents at
the meeting in Galveston would
be a splendid basis for such a
bill. Within ten minutes after
it is introduced the appropria-
tion committee can and probab-
ly will report it out and send it
to the printer so that by next
Monday at the latest it might be
before the house for considera-
tion.
“In vestigation of the charges
made by the speaker against the
governor need not interfere
with consideration of the appro-
priation bill. The university
must be maintained and given
adequate means for support.
The appropriation bill should be
introduced at once and sent to
the governor as he requested. I
believe that the proposition as
made by the governor should be
accepted without hesitation for
the benefit of the university and
that its friends should be fore-
most in seeing that it is done.”
The resolution introduced by
Messrs. White, Holland, Carloc.k
and Miller of Austin is a step in
the right direction, but it does
not go far enough in that it
places no responsibility upon
any person or- committee to
draw the bill described nor does
it fix any time within which the
bill shall be introduced. It car-
ries a good sentiment but lacks
force. However, Mr. White, au-
thor of the resolution, is deter-
mined the university appropri-
ations questions shall be pre-
presented to the house and that
very soon. He said that he con-
sidered it really the most im-
portant matter before the legis-
lature, and if he fails to obtain
action through adoption of the
resolution he proposes drawing
and introducing such a bill as he
deems fitting.—Austin Ameri-
can.

Lewis Ulrich, Jr., now mak-
ing his home in Georgia, where

ernment, is here to spend a few

McFarland Denies Fuller Vote
Story.
Austin, August 2.—M. M. Mc-
Farland of Alpine, member of
the lower house, arrived here
today and denied that Speaker
Fuller had ever told him that
he had voted for Abilene as the
location for the West Texas A.
& M. College or that he had ev-
er told J. M. Wagstaff of Abi-
lene or any one else that Fuller
had told him how he voted.
He said he might have told
some one that it was his opinion
that Fuller voted for Abilene,
but did not quote Fuller as say-
ing he did.
Mrs. Dan McKenzie returned
Friday to her home in Temple
after a short visit here in the
home of Dr. and Mrs. Norman
B. Taylor and other friends.
Will Sell School Lands.
Austin, Texas, Aug 2.—State
Land Commissioner J. T. Rob-
inson announced today that ap-
proximately 1,000,000 acres of
state school lands will be placed
on the market on September 1
next. Most of the land is situ-
ated in the western and north-
western part of the state and is
to be sold on condition of actual
settlement.
Evaders of Draft Will Get Into
Trouble.
Washington, Aug. 2.—Regis-
tered persons who ignore sum-
mons from local boards, to re-
port for examination under the
draft law are stirring up grave
trouble for themselves. A sup-
plement to the regulations . is-
sued by the president today
makes this apparent.
Upon failure to report or re-
fusal to submit to examination,
the name of the person concern-
ed will be forwarded to the
proper authorities. The person
will be notified that he is physi-
cally fit and held for the mili-
tary service. If he continues to
disobey the law to the extent of
ignoring notice to proceed to the
mobilization point he is liable to
punishment as a deserter,
wihch in war time may be
death.
The procedure in such cases is
gradual but sure. The names of
persons certified to district
boards who do not file claims
within the time prescribed will
be listed. Those who appear or
file claims will have their names
cancelled from the list.
The district board will then
forward the list to the adjutant
general of the state, stating
that persons whose names are
listed have been called for mili-
tary service, have not respond-
ed and have not been exempted
or discharged.
The adjutant general will
then mail to those persons list-
ed a notice informing him that
he has been selected for mili-
tary service to the adjutant
general within five days. From
that time the person notified is
in military service of the Unit-
ed States.
Prohibition Goes Over to De-
cember.
Washington, Aug. 2.—Na-
tional - prohibition by constitu-
tional amendment was hung up
in the house today by the prohi-
bition leaders themselves. The
resolution to submit the propos-
al to the states was passed yes-
terday by the senate was put
out of the program for the pres-
ent session and will not come up*
until the regular session in De-
cember.
Sentiment to Appeal School Act
Arises.
Austin, Aug. 2.—In view of
the deficit of possibly $2,500,000
which threatens the state treas-
ury, and in view of the contro-
versies that have arisen over
the location of the schools cre-
ated at a former session of the
present legislature, there is a
sentiment among some mem-
bers of the legislature in favor
of the repeal of the acts creat-
ing the four new normals^ and
the West Texas A. & M. College.
It is believed in some quarters,
to be likely that the governor1
will submit to the legislature*
the question of repealing thesev:
acts. It is argued that the ex-
isting normal schools have ca-
pacity for hundreds of students;
in excess of the numbers now-
enrolled.
On the subject of the location’
of the West Texas A. & M. Col-
lege, Homer D. Wade of Stam-
ford, who is here, gave out a',
statement last night in which he,
advocated the choice of an en-
tirely new committee on loca-
tion.
Sometimes it looks like the
people of this country are divid-
ed into two main classes—those
who are trying to make reputa-
tions and those who are trying;
to save them.—Dallas News.
