points in Mr.' Dickson’s original ap-.
plication for a temporary injunction to
prevent Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson’s
name from going on the election bal-
lot as Democrati nominee for gov-
ernor. He declares the court erred in
not holding that Mrs. Ferguson is in-
eligible because she is a woman and
there is no law enabling women to
hold office in Texas. The other as-
signments of error are based on the
contentions regarding ineligibility of
married women to hold office, on the
charge that Mr. Ferguson will be the
real governor and that he is disqual-
ified from being governor.
Whether the Court of Civil Appeals
will render an opinion or will send
the appeal on up to the Supreme Court
on certified questions is not known.
Mr. Dickson said he would not ask
the Court of Civil Appeals to certify
questions, as such a suggestion from
the parties would be improper/ this
court having a right to pass on the
merits of the case as the district judge
did. Either party can carry the case
from the Court of Civil Appeals to
the Supreme Court on writ of error.
The Court of Civil Appeals on its own
motion may certify any question of
law it,deems advisable.
The plaintiff asks the Court of Civil
Appeals to reverse the judgment of
the district court and’to advance the
case as rapidly as possible.

Prof. 8. M. N. Marrs, state super-
intendent of public Instruction, said
he proposes to follow the policy ho
inaugurated when he became head of
the department of education nearly
two years ago of transferring books
Irem one district to another.
The plan is to ascertain the number
of surplus books inthe various schools,
and instead of buying new books, ho
merely transfers this surplus to the
schools that are in need of the books
in question. By pursuing this policy,
Marrs said, he had already saved the
state over $1,004,490, more than sf-
ficlent to operate (no department of
education for a period of two years.

• That Austin people consume the
meat from eighty cattle per day is an
interesting observation made by City
Dairy I ns pec tor W: D. Walker in his
September report to the city council
which was filed Thursday.
Inspector Walker’s report contained
an echo of the recent meat inspection
ordinance adopted by the council and
sets forth the possibility that the
farmers may bild their own slaughter
houses.
“The farmers are probably going to
build their own slaughter houses but
in case they decide otherwise, it will
hardly be fair to make the farmer who
slaughters a few hogs and want's to
sell his surplus to some store in the
city, bring his hogs to town for in-
spection and then carry theme back
home to be killed,” Inspector Walker
decared. ' .
Seven slaughter houses are affected
by the new ordinance, according to
the report. These are the Austin

and will be held liable to all con-
ditions of the contract until the fur-
naces are completed, tested and ac-
cepted.
A condition of the bid requires the
city to furnish without cost to the
contractor, within thirty days from
date of •contract, a cleared site on
which to locate the proposed inciner-
ator and is to furnish water at the
site necessary for the construction of
the Incinerator within five days after
being instructed to do so by the com-
pany.
Should the city fail to furnish the
site within thirty days from date of
contract, the Superior Incinerator
Company shall h« ve the right under
the bid to cancel the contract and the
city shall reimburse the company for
all expenses Incurred in pursuance of
the contract.
The company guarantees that no
odors or fumes shall be expelled from
the incinerator, but has no guaranty
against smoke. Mr. Rightor informed
the council that all furnaces, regard-
less of the type, will emit some smoke
when furnaces are being charged, but
the smoke will be free from all odors
or fumes that may be, objectionable.
The furnaces in the proposed plant
are guaranteed to burn •rubbish, vege-
table refuse from stores, dwellings,
hotels, schoolhouses, packing houses,
