I TEXAS TOPICS
BY RAYMOND BROOKS
Texao will have no war of fore-
closures. like Iowa's but there will
be in this legislature determined
ellorts to relieve the home and land
owner of Texas burdens that have
proven too heavy to be carried.
Total abolition of ail state prop-
erty taxes leaving this form of
levy to the cities and counties will
be considered in the session years
after the actual majority judgment
of the state had reached the point
of favoring it.
In the future all tax proposals will
be based on the dual idea ol abil-
ity lo pay and ratio ol benefit.
• • •
The $32000000 limit sug%‘sted for
the biennial state budget by the
board of cdntrol trimming $14000 -
000 off the total asked by the agen-
cies ol state for all purposes and
from all sources is not the most
significant thing about the budget
important though it is.
The incoming governor acting m-
depcndflttly. and before the board
had finished the budget went ahead
and had her own recommendations
worked out. the mass of detailed
figure work being done bv A. W.
Taber and John F. Maddox. Mrs.
Ferguson's recommendations consti-
tute simply a notice to the legisla-
ture what she would approve and
what she w’ould veto.
• DA
O. P. Chastain of Eastiand has
returned to the legislature alter %
! two-year Interval.
Hi* services in the past of a high
order indicate he will be an effect-
>ve and useful member ol the new
lawmaking body.
• • •
Another house member of un-
usua» background is George C. Hes-
ter of Williamson county.
He !<> professor of political science
I in Southwestern university. His
election might well be taken as a
symbol of the new type of law-
makers that Texas will want: ex-
perts. specialists men who have be-
come authority on some phase of
government.
• • •
There are those who look for
much personal bitterness and bick-
ering in this long session. But the
predominant and pressing econom-
ic questions may very likelv over-
1 shadow everything else and bring
all the lawmakers into a concert
of liard-working. serious-minded of-
ficials working at a common pro- ;
bletn. too busy to quarrel and kill I
time in bickering.
• • •
The Dallas Chamber of Com-
merce. which takes pains to be non-
political has an easy facility for
getting its viewpoint expressed be-
ioit tlie legislature. One of Us of-
ficials takes a leave of absence
during the tax sessions and as a
representative of some sort of club
or group not the chamber of com-
merce by name sweats the legisla-
tive comauttee with assiduity and
effect.
One type of lobbyist had a brief
d / of glory but the day has pass-
id That was those who hired them-
selves out—some at $5 a day and
xlenses—to stay m Austin as re.
^resenting one or more industries
r organizations.
That type of service was very
nuch like the hired soldiers that
:sed to be imported by a nation to
!' h it in battles. A newer and bet-
t r system if that pn industry
rnd< responsible spokesmen who
are mtei ested m the welfare of
their groups and not out looking
tor a temporary salaried job.

Rep. Milton West of Brownsville
i will re-offer his bill that baan thi
name of an oil tax. but which may
iio’.d. 11 all other proration schemes
fail the germ of actual effective
and legal proration of oil produc-
tion. The bill is a graduated tax on
I oil production according to the
quantity of dally production pci
well. ..Actually it would levy less tax
on east Texas production now than
j the present 2 per cent law; but
where a violator of present produc-
tion lumped his output to sooo bar-
rels tier well the tax would run to
prohibitive figures.

tiful plant to the United Slates

er. Easter flower lobster flower.
Mexican flame-leaf are popular
common names. The Mexicans call
the plant Flor de Navidad (flow-
er of the nativity! and Flor de
Norhe Buena (flower of the holy
night i Several legends are con-
nected with it. including oue of a
little Mexican girl who stooci
empty-handed outside of a beau-
tifully lighted cathedral grieving
because she had no beautiful gift
to lay cm the altar of the Virgin
Mother and Child. As she watched
the joyful gift-bearing throng vhe
wept because of her inability to
share in the giving Suddenly
through the silence a voice whis-
pered to her to give what she 'vac.
that in the giving it would become
lovely.
Amazed and happy she turned to
the darkness surrounding the
church She could see only tah
weeds that scratched ner thin lees
as she sped through inei" profile*
growth. Seeing nothing else she
gathered all she could carry of the
branches and carried them into
the cathedral Down the softly
lighted aisle she went barefooted
and ragged a curious sight to the
assembled worsliiyers. Falling to
her knees she laid her offering at j
the feet of the Virgin .nd Chile. <
with an earnest prayer for *u ac-
ceptance. As she arose "aca plant
she had brought was ■ indenlj and
miraculously Upped wi‘.n a beuuti-
lul flaming red star. fit is tne
name. Flor de la Nochc Buena.
An Indian legend of heroism also
is told of the poinsettia; L>o:tg arc.
wlnlc defending the temple el
their god. Quetzalcoatl. against the
attacks of Aztec tribes every Tol-
tre warrior was slain leaving only
the young boys of the tribe to
cam on the fight.
Knowing that they must dis-
guise Uieir youth these courageous
children collected the colorful
feathered headdresses of their slain
ciders donned them in the dark-
ness ; r.rht and prepared t> die
fi2ht:ng for the temple o.' tncu
god.
Touched by their bravery and
their spirit of sell-sacrifice. Quetz-
alcoatl came to their assistance
transforming the feather Li pa of
their headdresses into tongues of
ii'.ine flame. At dawn the spect-
acle cf the temple surrounded by
living [ire terified the Aarc in*
uders who fled to their own
homes without further though!. o»
conquest When they had gone the
boy warriors laid their flaming
aintor on the ground and beauti*
lul flamc-nppcd plants sprang up
about the temple commemorating
forever the heroism of the young
fighters.
The Christmas poinsettia is
known as i>omselLia puicherruna
The wild plant which grows tr.

as Pire*on-the-Mountain Mexican
