nutria" veteran whose chief claim to
public attention has been a choice
assortment of vigorous "cuss-
words. It was but a few mouths
ago that General Dawes in appear-
ing at Washington before a eongres-
sionnl committee urged his views
with the accompaniment of n fusil-
lade of oaths.
The fiery army man's vleus re-
ceived broaden! publicity and his
otherwise normal and sane opinions
gained wider acceptance through
this somewhat normal procedure.
Now General Dawes has a real
man-sized Job. and If indications are
to be any criterion of what his per-
formances will be. the Director of
the Iludget will have a record of ac-
complishment In store.
The first thing Dawes did on as-
suming office was to call n meeting
of government heads which included
the cabinet and even the president.
Washington witnessed the spectacle
of a newly appointed department
head "laying down the law" to an
audience which included the presi-
dent the cabinet and the heads of
all the bureaus in Washington.
Hut the whole thing has its effect
and If the brakes can be applied even
it little to the orgy of spending whlen

perfect maelstrom of protest on the

The Standard Oil Company ofj

tests. They were told however
they had "run Into a stone wall"

PORTLAND. Oro.. July 6. When
Joe Mozoroiiky proprietor of a jew-
elry store declared hlmsult a bank-
rupt an attachment was served on
his body and he waH put in Jail fol-
lowing a suit for $800? alleged to
have boon won by Mozorosk in a
gambling game in his storo.
Sol Swire who swore he lost that
amount got Judgment in Circuit
Judge Stapleton's court and under
the provisions of the State gambling
law the sum was automatically dou-
bled making tho award In his favor
$1000. Mozorosky reufscd to pay
on the grounds.of bankruptcy.
After Hpondlng more than two
months In Jail he was released on
$2000 ball pending appeal of the
case to the State Supreme Court. If
the higher court upholds the decis-
ion of the Circuit Court Mozorosky
must pay or go back to jail.
Amending the constitution to re-
duce the mileage and Jncrrase the
pay per diem of the legislators.
Amending the constitution so that
only native born or naturalized cit-
izens of tho L'nited States shall be
allowed to vote In Texas and pro-
viding that either the husband or
wife may pay the poll tax of the oth-
er and receive the receipt therefor
and permitting the legislature to au
thorize absentee voting.
On account of an error in copying
the original bill the prison commis-
sioner amendment may be stricken
from the ballot. It seeks to amend
article 1G section 58 of the constitu-
tion which provides for the board
of prison commissioners while the
bill as passed read "article 17 sec-
tion 58." There is no article 17
section 58 that article having but
one section providing for the man-
ner in which the constitution shall
be amended. It was the intent of
the legislature to amend article IS
but whether this intention will off-
.sot the typographical error remains
to be decided. The opinion of the
attorney general has been asked.
The prison commissioner amend-
ment was Introduced by Represent-
ative .Sntferwhite and followed the
report of the penitentiary investigat-
ing committee authorized to Inves-
tigate all phases and charges of the
penitentiary system. It intends to
allow the legislature to abolish the
three prison commissioners' offices
and provide for the administration
as it may see fit It is believed that
a more efficient and economical ad
ministration can he worked out
not to exceed $8000 annually; at-
torney general $7500; treasurer
land commissioner comptroller and
secretary of state $5000 each. The
amendment does not provide that
Uhe salaries of the officers shall be
the maximum amounts but tliat the
legislature can fix their salaries at
any su mnot to exceed those named
in the amendment. The legislature
can pay them less than they are re-
ceiving now it it should so desire. It
has been pointed out that the taxes
will be Increased but five cents on
every $10000 worth of property In1
order to meet these raises.
The Confederate pension tax of
Texas is now five cents on the $1001
valuation. I5y tho amendment thisi
tax would be Increased to seven
cents. The Confederate veterans and j
their widows are passing away slow-1
ly the state of old age having!
reached all of them that are bene-
fited b ythc tax. It will in course!
of time be automatically erased from
the tax books of Texas as tho Iasti
of the veterans pass away. The two I
cents Increase in the tax Is to allow
the legislature to increase the aid to
the Confederate veterans and their
widows. By the terms of the
amendment only those who came to
Texas prior to January 1 1010 and
who were married prior to that date
will bo benefited by the lax. The
word "widow" also applies only to
women born bo'ore 1SG1.
The members of the legislature
now receive $5 per day for regular
sessions of 00 days and $2 per day
thereafter with $3 per day for sue
I clal sessions of thirty day. The
amendment to be voted on seeks to
' raise the pay of the legislators not
to exceed 10 per day for regular'
sessions of 120 days and $."; per dav
thereafter with $10 per day lor mm
clal sessions. It also seeks to reduce
tho traveling expense or mileage om
half of Its present amount. This
rate of pay was fixed in the con
stltutlon of ISOfl. The legislature h
authorized by the bill to fix the pav
of the members not to exceed the
sum named. They could fix it at 8
per day or reduce it If ihev so de
sired.
Under tho present constitution of
Texas foreigners are allowed to vole
as soon as they declare their inten-
tion of becoming citizens of the
United States. IT the proposed
amendment Is adopted they niitht
have become fully naturalized befo'e
they can vote.
In towns and cities of more than
10000 population Ml voters ntti.it
get their poll tax receipts in person.
If the propose dameudment Is adopt-
ed either the husband or wife can
pay the poll tax of the other and ?rt
the receipt therefor regardless of
residence.
If the absentee voting amendment
is adopted the legislature can au-
thorize a voter to vote in a general I
election without being present at the
polls as Is now permitted In the prl-'
ninry elections. I
