LEGISLATIVE NEWS
The senate highways and motor-
traffic committee Monday ' reported
favorably a bill by Sen. W. A. Wil-
liamson of San Antonio and Gus
Russek of Schulenburg providing for
uniformity of dress of officers mak-
ing traffic violation arrests, and ab-
olition' of the fee system in such
cases. The bill would require arrest-
ing officers in traffic violation cases
to wear coats anfi caps of dark gray
or blue color. The uniformity of
dresff provisions were the same as
were incorporated in the Williamson
law which was declared unconstitu-
tional recently by the state court of
criminal appeals, with the exception
that the bill would not require regu-
lation trousers.
• • *
The house committee on municipal
and private corporations voted fav-
orably a bill by Rep. G. E. Lockhart
of Lubbock to require police and law
enforcement officers of incorporated
cities and towns to file a bond as
surety against damages sustained be-
cause of an unlawful arrest. The
bond was set at $2500. The commit-
_ tee also voted out favorably a bill by
Rep. Charles S. McCombs of Dallas
to give governing bodies of incorpor-
ated towns of 1000 population to fix
the rates to be charged by public
utilities. The law now sets the popu-
lation minimum at 2000.
* * *
The house committee on labor
started hearings on the bill to pro-
vide for establishment of a minimum
wage for women and minora engaged
in the various lines of industry. The
bill was supported by Robert B.
Gragg, state labor commissioner, and
May S. Cox, former investigator in
the labor department. The bill would
establish a state wage commission to
fix the minimum wage in each line
of industry.

The Texas house, voting 66 to 44,
turned thumbs down on uae of state
taxes paid in Austin to development
of the capital city, after it had lis-
tened Monday to Rep. T. H. Mc-
Gregor ‘making an eloquent plea for
state pride in beautifying Austin. His
colleagues * killed the bill, on motion
of Rep. Homer DeWolfe of Goldth-
waite. Rep. Walter Beck, Fort Worth,
and Bob Long, Wichita Falls, asked
the house to delay action, so that its
members might study the bill in de-
tail. An .amendment by Rep. A. P. C.
Pctsch and others that would have
reminded Austin people of “their
right to petition for the removal of
etate institutions from Austin,” was
ruled out of order.
• * *
Mr. McGregor’s bill proposed that
instead of the $61,000 the state now
pays for water and light in Austin,
and the fpe service in pollfce, fire
protection, sewerage and trash' re-
moval for its institutions, that the
state allow the use of the $100,000
a year state taxes paid by Austin to
meet current expens&3 of the city.
He pointed out #the state qwns one-
fifth the property within the city,
and that the people are now engaged
in a public improvement program of
over $8,000,000, to which the state
directly contributes little. Opponents
reminded Austin of the benefits of
the state payroll and university at-
tendance here. “I believe the state
is not sharing its part of the cost of
maintaining the capital city,” Rep.
Beck told the house.
• * *
The house voted unanimously Mon-
day to submit a proposed constitu-
tional amendment which would make
it easier for the original owner to re-
deem property sold for non-payment
' of taxes. Under its terms property
could be redeemed within the first
year on payment of the sale price
plus 25 per cent and during the sec-
ond year on payment of 50 per cent
over the sale price.
• * *
The, house passed a bill by Rep. R.
H. Holland of Houston to permit
judges to defer sentences in convic-
tions of misdemeanors where fines
were assessed. A constitutional am-
endment by Rep. H. N. Hanson of
Tyler, proposing to extend the time
for payment of poll taxes from Feb.
1 to April 1 was defeated when the
house refused to adopt a motion to
print the resolution on minority re-
port.
* * *
The senate voted 26 to 2 for a bill
which asked that the mayors of Tex-
as cities and towns be authorized to
perform marriage ceremonies and
administer oaths of office. Sens. Jake
Loy of Sherman and Purl of Dallas
voted no. Sen. Woodul of Houston
said he feared that the mayors of
Texas’ largest cities would suffer
from such legislation. He stated he
believed persona would be calling the
“mayor out at 8 o’clock in the morn-
ing” to marry them. The bill was
passed as originally drawn to include
all Texas cities and towns.
ANOTHER MODERN STORE ~
* FRONT TO BE BUILT
Dr. Rea of Minnesota CLASSIFIED ADVERHSEMEMTS
Mrs. Emma Kruschel, owner of
the store building until recently oc-
cupied by Otto Amberg, is about to
award the contract for a remodeling
of the front, to correspond with the
two other buildings owned by her
(Elkin’s and Cole Mercantile Com-
pany), and work .will begin as soon
ipaterial is received and contract
if closed, which will be soon. The
change will be very attractive, and

RURAL MEIJT A BIG SUCCESS
The rural meet Saturday at the
school house was a real interesting
affair. About five hundred people wit-
nessed the competitive sports in
which one hundred and one contest-
ants took part. The greater part of
the attendance were thoue directly in-
terested. Not many of our town peo-
ple were present. That mattered little
for everything went over in a big
way. Both girls and boys played well
for the honors of their school. The
results are as follows:
Boys Indoor Baseball
In the two-teacher schools prelim-
inaries, Oldenburg won first place,
Rutersville, second, and Freyburg
third. In the three-teacher schools
Carmine won first, West Point, sec-
ond; and Winchester, third. In the
qne-teacher schools Radhost vfon
first place. — rA :
In the finals Oldenburg/won nfst
place, Radhost, second, and Carmine
third. The Oldenburg team won the
county championship.
Girls Indoor Baseball
In the preliminaries, Nassau won
first place in the one-teacher schools.
In the two-teacher schools Walhalla
won first, Oldenburg, .second; and
Holman, third. In the three-teacher
schools Carmine won first, and West
I’oint, second.
The county championship was not
decided but was won by either Wal-
halla or Nassau at the Round Top
meet Wednesday. We are unable to
get the facts at this time.
Girl’s Volley Ball
There was only one one-teacher
•school represented and that was
Quade. In the two-teacher schools
Oldenburg won the first place, Frey-
turg, second, and Warrenton, third.
In the three-teacher schools Carmine,
first; Winchester, second; Elm Grove,

On another page is a sketch about
“live-at-home” methods, under the
title “why are you farming”, and
“why do you own land”. It is timely
and sound and for the following rea-
sons any food and feed—which our
soils and climate will produce—that
the farmer can use, ought to be
grown on his farm. The markets will
not affect anything he grows and
uses, and whatever is thus grown and
ufed will cut dovAi the supply bills
to be paid and leave him in a far
better^ position when he'markets his
money crops.
There are a number of “live-at-
home” farmers in this community
and their situation is far better.
They raise their feeds, have cows,
chickens and meat hogs and grow
their vegetables. Some of them have
a surplus of butter, cream eggs,
poultry, meat or lard and sell this
surplus for enough to get their flour,
sugar and similar supplies. In the
fall they have no supply bills to pay
nnd whatever they get for their mon-
ey crops belongs to them.
We want to get the stories of sev-
eral of these farmers and will prjy
Five Dollars ($6.00) for the bes*
story and give a year’s subscription
to the LaGrange Journal for the sec-
ond best story. The winning stories
will be published the first week in
April and mutt reach us not later
than Saturday, March 28.

STERLING SUGGESTS COURT
REDISTRICTING
In his first message sent to the
legislature, Gov. Ross S. Sterling
Tuesday urged the lawmakers seri-
ously to consider the economic ad-
vantage of a court redistrieting to
serve areas now asking for new
courts. He asked all bills creating ■
new courts be held up to determine
whether they are needed. He said
there were pending 13 bills to create
additional district courts. The pres-
ent courts, he said serve areas hav-
ing from 17,000 to 107,00 population.
“It woilld be desirable from an eco-
nomic standpoint,” Gov. -Sterling
said, “for the legislature to seriously
consider.redistricting the .state, with
the view of more equally distributing
the work of the various district
judges, and thereby making it un-
necessary to create any additional
district courts.
“And it is respectfully suggested
that’both time and money might be
saved if the creation of additional
districts be held up until the matter
of’ redistricting the state for court
purposes has been given thorough
study and consideration by the legis-
lature.
“I recognize,” ’he said, “that the
responsibility for these matters rests
exclusively upon the legislature, and
this suggestion is only made in view
pf the enormous amount of work at
this time pending before the legisla-
ture, and the possibility\of the condi-
tions here set out being fiverlooked.”

cost of the proposed'highway from

Mrs. Frank Veselka, and renewed
many of his old acquaintances. This
was the gentleman’s first visit in six-
teen years, being formerly a frequent
visitor Vhen living at Oldenburg and
conducting the gin at that place. He
found so much that was new that he
could hardly realize this was the
same old town. His granddaughter,
fcfss Effie Veselka took hfm for an
auto ride and gave him an opportu-
nity to see the many new additions,
the Fair Grounds, the new bridge and

been made on the road he traveled so
often.
