of the Texas State Farmers' Union,
has malted his resignation to 8tate

“While this government I
lieved that these conditions
priation could be made. There are a
number of commodities and needless
luxuries that are now escaping taxa-
tion that should contribute to the sup-

“If the people of Texas will send to
the legislature that convenes in Jan-
uary a membership of lawmakers in
sympathy with the educational life of
Texas and who will co-operate in the
passage of proper revenue measures
and educational bills, I will see to It
that the schools of this State do not
suffer for support, either the coming
school year or any other year in the
near future.” ,
The governor declared that the State
revenue for school purposes is insuf-
ficient; that laws for raising money
for the support of schools are inade-
quate; that better-trained teachers
should be had; that a fixed income
should be provided for the support of
schools. He said he had had several
conferences recently with educational
leaders of the State.

Washington.—Tho state department
made public Monday the text of a
message to Ambassador Childs at e-
noa declining the invitation to par-
ticipate in the new European economic
conference at the Hague.
The secretary of state has directed
Ambassador Childs to deliver the fol-
lowing reply for the American gov-
ernment:
"This government has carefully con-
sidered the invitation extended to it
by the president of the Genoa Confer-
ence. under the conditions set forth
in the agreements of the inviting pow-
era, to join the proposed commission
to meet at the Hague on June 15. This
government is most desirous to aid in
every way practicable the considera-
tion of the economic exigencies in Rus-
sia, and wishes again to express the
deep friendship felt by the people of
the United States for the people of
Russia, and their keen interest in all
proceedings looking to the recovery
of their economic life and the rela-
tion of the prosperity to which their
capacities and resources entitle them.
The American people have given the
most tangible evidence of their un-
selfish interest in the economic re-
cuperation of Russia, and this gov-
ernment would be most reluctant to
abstain from any opportunity of help-
fulness.
"This government, however, is un-
able to conclude that it can helpful-
ly participate in the meeting at the
Hague, as this would appear to be a
continuance under a different nomen-
clature of the Genoa conference, and
destined to encounter the same diffi-
culties if the attitude disclosed in the
Russian memorandum of May 11 re-
mains unchanged.
“The inescapable and ultimate ques-
tion would appear to be the restora-
tion of productivity in Russia, the es-
sential conditions of which are still
to be secured and must in the nature
"I shall be reluctant, however, to re
convene the present legislature for the ,
reason that all, educational matters
were before them during the regular
session,” the governor qualified, "and
also again submitted to them while in
special session, and no measure pro
viding revenue for support of the '
schools was enacted into law No new
facts have developed since then, and
I am, therefore, inclined to think that
no relief could be had by reconvening
this same legislature in special ses-
sion.
"If the legislature should be recon
vened in special session there is no

for appropriation for school purposes.

Dallas, Tex.—In addition to bejng
third in point of production of crude
petroleum, Texas is the leading state
in the United States in the refinery
end of the industry, leading all other
states with sixty-three operating plants
and a daily capacity of 345,150 barrels
Refineries in the state now closed
down number forty-six and nine others
are in the course of construction. Tex-
as output of crude oil in 1921 was 115,-
309,500 barrels, the next highest rec-
ord being made by California with
114,849,945 barrels. Oklahoma led all
states with 115,679,576 barrels during
the last year.
The following brief article, taken
from the Lamp of April, 1922, gives an
insight into the refinery situation in
the country:
There are in this country today 480
complete refineries and thirty more
being built.
Of these seven refineries are owned
by the Standard Oil Company (N. J.)
or by subsidiaries.
The indicated daily refining capacity
in the United States is 2,164,050 bar-
rels of oil. The Standard Oil Com-
pany (N. J ) and subsidiaries' part of
this total is under 15 per cent.
When the war broke out there were
176 refineries in this country. In the
succeeding eight years the number has
increased 172 per cent. It will sur-
prise most people to learn that the big
refining state is not New Jersey, where
the Standard Oil Company's two larg-
est plants are located, nor Pennsyl-
vania, where the industry got its real
start, nor Oklahoma, where so many
new companies have been born. Texas
leads a" ether states, with sixty-three
operatmg plants and a daily capacity
of 346,150 barrels. In addition, that
state has 46 refinerles which have
closed down and nine others in the
course of construction. Oklahoma Is
second, California third, Pennsylvania
fourth, and New Jersey fifth.

sonably clear it has always been ready
to join with the other governments
extending the present invitation in ar-
ranging for an inquiry by experts into
the economic situation in Russia and
the necessary remedies. Such an in-
quiry would appropriately deal with
the economic prerequisites of that re-
storation of production in Russia with-
out which there would appear to be
lacking any sound basis for credits. It
should be added that this government
is most willing to give serious atten-
tion to any proposals issuing from the
Genoa conference or any later confer-
ence but it regards the present sug-
gestions in apparent response to the
Russian memorandum of May 11 as
lacking, in view of the terms of that
memorandum, in the definiteness
which would make possible the con-
currence of this government in the
proposed plan.”
The inviting powers referred to In
the cabled summary of the proposed
plan are understood to be Italy, Bel-
gium, Great Britain and Japan.
Austin, Tex.—It became known this
week that North Texas will probably
get another system of railroad and
that the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
system is to alienate another of its
branch lines. This fact developed with
the presence of William Edenborn of
New Orleans, and his attorney, R. E.
Milling, who conferred with the rail-
road commission and Assistant Attor-
ney General Tom L. Beauchamp to
ascertain what is required of railroad
corporations in Texas
Mr. Edenborn informed the Texas
authorities he contemplates purchas-
ing from the Missouri, Kansas & Tex-
as its line extending from McKinney
through Greenville, Winnsboro and
Hughes Springs to Waskoma, on the
Texas line and at Shreveport connect
with his Louisviana system, the Louis-
iana Railway and Navigation Com-
pany, which operates 340 miles in the
Pelican State.
According to the records, Mr. Eden-
born is the. sole owner of the Louis-
iana Railway and Navigation Company,
owning all of its stocks and bonds, and
operates a direct line from Shreveport
to New Orleans, a distance of 306.5
miles, besides some branch lines.
Only recently Mr. Edenborn com-
pleted a general office building at
Shreveport and he was concerned over
what is required by the Texas stat-
utes The attorney general told him
that he would have to maintain gen-
eral offices and general officers of the
Texas company in Texas, as well as
its shops He indicated that be could
comply and Intimated that Greenville
will be the location for the Texas of-
fices and shops.
