The excessive law-making w** attrib-
uted largely tv thy various blocs, groups
and associations seeking special legisla-
tion In behalf of their own interests, and
resisting legislation Inimical to their In-
terests. The speaker said he would ellnt- ,

and by a constant weeding-out process.

LYNCH DAVIDSON
Of all institutions Cooper needs and
should have it is a compress. It is
said that a compress can make money
on 15,000 bales of cotton. Last sea-
son Cooper received more than 18,000
bales and with a compress here likely
would have received 23,000. Cotton
men say that they make an allowance
of from three to five ponds of cotton
to the late Woodrow Wilson,
Davidson discussed the qualifications
and principles upon which his candi-
dacy was based, as follows in part:
"My long connection with the lum-
ber business, commencing as a saw-
mill laborer at 80 cents a day, has
carried with it a vast experience in
banking, mercantile institutions and
other businesses of various kinds, in-
volving extensive contact with the
science and administration of govern-
ment. During four years in the leg-
islature, first as representative, then
as senator and last as lieutenant gov-
ernor and presiding officer of the sen-
ate, 1 studied the ramifications of gov-
ernment and experimented with its
various functions, striving to under-
stand government as I have striven to
system from the little red school house
on the hill to our highest educational In-
stitutions must be provided the means of
expansion to meet the needs of a great
and growing state and a constantly in-
creasing population. I shall stand, when
elected Governor, for the proper financ-
ing and betterment of yur entire educa-
tional system, its extrication front poli-
tics, as far as possible; adequate com-
pensation for principals, superintendents
and teachers, better facilities in rural
schools, better bulldngs and equipment,
and u full school term everywhere. How-
ever, as with other departments of gov-
ernment, I believe that business methods
should be applied to the management and
control of these institutions, and that
there should be neither waste nor extrava-
gance."
An educational survey of the state's en-
tire school system was advocated by the
speaker when a candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, he said; adding that he was in
hearty accord with the purposes of the
educational survey now being made, lie
ulso commended the teachers colleges of
Texas, saying that If we ure to educate
we must train educator*.
The Penitentiary System.
A plan whereby he proposes to con-
vert the penitentiary system from a mll-
ilon-dollar annual loss into u niilllon-
dollar annual gain was outlined by the
candidate. He advocated the sale of most
of the penitentiary system’s eighty-odd
thousand acres of farm lands on long
terms and easy payments at reasonable
rates of interest, thus affording the land
tenant farmer tin opportunity to purchase
lands; reserving such lands where build-
Mr. ings and Improvements are located, to be
--- converted into various kinds of eleemosy-
nary institutions, particularly sadly-need-
td asylums tor the insane. "With the
prison assets remaining after converting
such lands and the beat buildings and im-
provements of the penitentiary system, I
advocate the purchose of a few thousand
acres of land near the central part of the
state In a dry healthful climate, prefer-
ably near the capital. (>n that land 1 ad-
vocate building a modern, model, up-to-
date central prison building and system.

Girl To Kiss Negro
In Show To Open
In New York Soon
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Art step-
per across the color line to day and
Mary Blair, white actress, consented
to play the lead in Eugene O’Neil’s
forthcoming play opposite Paul Rob-
son, full-blood negro.
Action of the piece calls for Miss
Blair to kiss Robson, who is first her
lover then her husband as the drama
of mixed marriage. “All God’s Chilian
Got Wings,” unfolds.
A storm of criticism has been evok-
ed by insistence of the producers, the
Provinceton players 'non casting the
negro for the leadir male part.
Several actresses refused to play
opposite him, in view of the story
which calls for the white girl hero-
ine gradually losing her mind as she
lives with her negro husband, until
as the final curtain falls she abases
herself rnd kisses his hand.
Miss Blair consented, but refused
to say what her feelings on the matter
were. She is a Northern girl.
The management commenting upon
the interest, protest and, in some quar-
ters, indignation, which the casting of
the play has produced, said:
Paul Robson, the negro actor, is
a fine gentleman of histronic ability
We expect to open the play shortly
after March 10.”
The story of the play is laid in New
York in the section known as the
black and tan belt. Eight children,
fonr white and four black, play to-
gether and Jim, the negro bov. and
Ella, the white girl, are childhood
sweethearts. Later she takes up with
h prize fighter, then elopes with th«
negro lover of her youth and they
go abroad.
It is after they return to New York
to the black and tan neighborhood
where they live with Jim’s mother
and sister that Ella gradually goes
insane, brooding on the race problem.
At the end, Jim, who has an inferior-
ity complex, as they say in Green-
wich Village, fails to. pass his bar ex-
eminations. Ella is so happy that
she falls to her knees, kissing her
black husband’s hand.

Highways.
"I advocate the use of every physically
and mentally fit convict in the building of
the great major highway system of Tex-
as, as designated by the highway depart-
ment, and In co-operation with the high-
way department. Those convicts not phy-
sically und mentally fit for road work to
be kept within the central prison building
walls, engaged in work that will give
them educational and vocational training.
"Through highway construction the pen-
itentiary system can he converted Into
ane of the greatest road building enter-
prises ever known, and by so doing the
highways of Texas cun be developed into
in asset of enormous value, at a 50 per
tent less cost than we are now paying
for highway construction. Millions of dol-
lars of federal uld are available for Texas
roads, but we are without funds required
under the federal aid uct to get that
money. My program of working convicts
on the highways will make large sums of
this money available and materially
quicken and aid highway construction.
This penitentiary program 1 have advo-
cated continually since my candidacy for
Lieutenant Governor.”
The State Railroad.
The financial plight of the peniten-
tiary system wets compared by the speak-
er with the condition of the State Rail-
road at the time it was placed in his
hands by legislative enactment. “The
State Railroad hud cost the state $650,00ti
to build and $S0t),000 in losses," he said
"It had been proposed by the legisla-
ture to junk the road or give it for a
dollar to anybody that would take It and
operate It, when a bill was enacted In
1921, giving me charge of the road on be-
half of the state. That road is now com-
pletely rehabilitated and worth a million
dollars of anybody's money.”
Consideration for Convicts.
The vocational and educational training
of the convict against his return to civ.i
life was stressed by the speaker. He
also emphasized the fuct that the con-
victs of Texas should always be in the
care and custody of the state and its
own agents—under no circumstances to
be leased or contracted, lie favored pay-
ing convicts some monetary per diem,
though stating that the constitution now
inhibits such compensation. It would be
an incentive to work, he said, give them
hope for the future, ami provide for their
tumbles.
"it Is proper that the pardon power is
vested in the chief executive of the state,"
Mr. Davidson said "It should be used
wisely and carefully, and should not be
made a political instrument. Puidons
would be granted by me In cases where
1 was convinced the greatest justice and
good to
doing so
Highways.
"The highway construction program I
have discussed In connection with the
penitentiary system would, of course, be
further supplemented from a financial
standpoint by the tax-gathering laws,
making revenue available to the high-
way departments and by co-operation of
counties under their bonding privileges.
1 would advocate such redrafting of the
law, in carrying out this program, as
would insure to the counties the full
benefits from their bond ami tax reve-
nues, thus harmonizing tie- Interest .,f
state and county, and as would insure
the uniform and uninterrupted construc-
tion of roads."
The maintenance of roads by a system
of sections, as a railroad maintains i s
lines, was advocated the speaker. Hei

More Business In Government, Less Gov-
ernment In Business.
"In 1922, at the end of my term of of-
fice as Lieutenant Governor, i voluntar-
ily declined to stand for re-election, and
the present Lieutenant Governor of tb
same name was elected In my place. At
that time 1 announced my intention of
In ing a candidate for Governor in the
1924 primaries. In order to do so I found
It necessary to devote the intervening
two years to ttiy own extensive business
affairs, to set them In order for my ab-
sence from n.y own business, when elect-
ed your Governor.
"It is my solemn belief that unless men
of actual individual accomplishments in
life interest themselves in governmental
uffairs, the discontent of the people, due
to the various vices resulting from extrav-
agance and mismanagement of state af-
fairs, will grow by leaps and bounds.
We need more business in government and
less government in business. Every man
seeking public office of economic impor-
tance should be measured, not by the
eloquence of his oratory, but by his quali-
fications to administer the vast business
of government.
Taxation.
“Dur methods of levying and collecting
tuxes havt' become expensive and hap-
hazard. We have reached the point where
a readjustment is necessary to simplify,
equalize and lower taxation, i >ur entire
tux system should he reorganized, over-
hauled, and business methods of levying
and collecting taxes put into effect. I
believe our tux rate can be lowered 2a
per cent wltln ut reducing appropriations
for our educational institutions or im-
pairing the u "fulness of our government-
al departments. In accomplishing a re-
i.rganizaiion of this kind the governor
must have the co-operation and assist-
ance of the legislature. The legislature

the people of Texas to have delegates oi
their own selection join and become mem-
bers of that conference, to assist in ef-
fecting what 1 am determined to accom-
plish—a reduction of taxes and Bitnpllfl-
catlon ot the system and equalization of
taxes."
Economy.
Treating at length the subject of econ-
omy in o„r state government, Mr. David-
son pointed out that economy comes with
munagermn., and that mismanagement
was most frequently the cause of ex-
travagance in government. "1 am con-
vinced," he said, "that between tight
and ten million dollars can he stricken
from the state's appropriation budget
without harm or hint, but contrurywise,
to the betterment of the state’s entire
educational arid governmental program, if
economy and management hold hands in
the undertaking. His economy program
embraced the following propositions;
1. By redrafting the law so that the
county unit system may be employed, the
same amount of money will lengthen the
school terms from 20 to 25 per cent.
2. Through management and economy
the prison system, which has beer: los-
ing practically a million dollars annually,
can be made to earn a million dollars i
ennuully, thus adding two million dollars
to the state's treasury.
2. Through the elimination of useless i
bureaus and commissions and the reor-
ganization of other Institutions, close to
a million dollars annually can be saved
and at the same time the efficiency ui
government Improved.
4. Through certain readjustments in
our Judiciary system, the work of that

est assets within our confines,"
Relief for the Farmer.
Discussing the problem of the farmer
and its solution, Governor Lynch David-
son urged the farmer's need of the co-op-
eration of every business and profession-
al man in the country In marketing his
products to the end that a large and sub-
stantial portion of their sale price be de-
livered to his door. "Co-operative asso-
ciations provide ways and means of mar-
keting produce as the markets call for
them, and greatly Improve the producer's
flnuncia) status. 1 shall promote and as-
sist such associations In every possible
way.
"I advocate warehouse corporations by
districts and commodities, controlled by
the producers themselves, organized upon
a basis whereby its securities against
stored products will he as marketable
us government bonds. Such organizations
properly conducted would soon restore the
agriculturist to his rightful state of pros-
perity."
All possible and proper protection, en-
couragement and assistance to the other
producing Industries of Texas was prom-
ised by the candidate; such as live stuck
raising, mining, oil producing, and fruit
growing.
Transportation.
Cheaper and better transportation was
stated by the speaker to be the master
key to the producer's situation. Discuss-
ing railroad transportation, he declared
that freight rates are too high, indicat-
ing this was due largely to stringent leg-
islative regulation. H> favored any rea-
sonable program that will bring about im-
provement of the conditions of the rail-
roads as a means of reducing freight
rates.
The Orient Railroad, whose abandon-
ment and the consequent disaster to hun-
ilrnl i of thousands of West Texans living
.ib ng its line Lynch Davidson was cred-
it <i with preventing a year ago, was re-
ft 11 eel to as an example of destructive
legislation. "I have done my best to
save these people from such a catastro-
phe, and shall continue to do so," he said
"Moreover, when I am Governor, my
every effort and influence will he exerted
toward the lessening of this bureaucratic
regulation and interference with the
transportation systems of the country.
It is by these tokens we can get a re-
duction In freight rates."
Labor.
Having spent his younger days in la-
bor's ranks and experiencing Its diffi-
culties, Mr. Davidson declared that he
speaks labor' language. He expressed
admiration of Its progress, and lauded
Its accomplishments. "I believe in the
right of labor to organize for the promo-
tion of education and cruft efficiency,” he
stated. "I believe In the constitutional
right of everv citizen to work when and
where he will, without Interferenee or
