Mrs. Lewis Hodge, in charge of the

Mrs. Hodge stated before leaving that

American orphanages under the care
of American men and women. These
orphans are being well trained and
educated and made to learn a trade
of some kind in order that they will
be self supporting when they graduate
from these schools. They are being
given a thorough American education.

question of a constitutional conven-
tion, is on the house calendar for con-
sideration this week. It is quite likely
that this resolution will be adopted as
it makes no pretense of calling a con-
stitutional convention, but is merely to
ascertain ‘the will of the people of the
state with reference to the calling of
a constitutional convention,” to revise
alter or amend the constitution or to
frame a new constitution.
A hard fight is expected in the
house when the Melson bill proposng
the abolishment of the Markets and
Warehouse Department comes up for.
consideration. This bill is now on the
house calendar. The bill proposes to
eliminate this department and place ’
its duties under the department of ag-
riculture. At the last regular session
of the legislature such a bill was passed
in the house but met defeat in the
senate by a margin of two votes. Gov-
frnor Neff had recommended the abol- x
ishment of the department.
None of the Governor’s law enforce-
ment measures have as yet been con-
sidered in either branch of the legisla-
ture. There is one of these bills now’
for consideration dureg this week. It
is the Carpenter-Patterson measure
pending on the calendar of the house
which provides for the removal of
county officials through -quo warranto
proceedings when such officers fail to
do their duty. A similar bill was de-
feated Jn the last regular session of
the legislature.
Practically nothing has been done
relative to the educational program.
Prof. S. M. N. Marrs, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, sug-
gested 4 dozen measures affecting the
schools, but so far no bills have been
introduced to carry out his recom-
mendations. The Molson house bill

investigation, but the resolution is now eating board.
Although there were passed finally
in both branches of the legislature
about twenty-five bills during the
week, the great majority of them were
local in their nature. The Davis of
Dallas bill providing that in cases
of corporations violating the anti-trust
law, where judgment has been ob-
tained, the attorney general may, with
the approval of the court, accept fines
and penalties inlieu of forfeiture of
right to do business in Texas, was
passed finally in both branches. There
was passed finally in both branches
the Davis of Dallas bill permitting
While the Thirty-eighth legislature
was quite busy during last week and
disposed of several measures of im-
portance, this week promises to be
probably the most important of the
regular session. The revenue produc-
ing measures are challenging the at-
; tention of the lawmakers as without
sufficient revenue It will be impos-
sible to meet a budget which calls for
upward of $31,909,900 for tha next two
fiscal years, not including several mil-
lion dollars of additional appropria-
tions that are to be made.
An agreement has been reached by
house committee on revenue and tax-
ation whereby the Coffee house bill
which proposes to increase the gross
production tax on oil from 11 to 5
per cent, by which the tax 1s fixed at
3 per cent. The committee also agreed
to fix the gallon tax on gasoline at
one cent instead of two cents, as had
been proposed by Mr. Melson in his
bill on the subject. The Culp bill pro-
posing a 2% per cent tax on gross
production of sulphur is still before
the committee, while the Melson sev-
erance tax bill will be given an open
hearing before the committee on next
Wednesday, to give the lumber in-
terests a chance to be heard. No ac-
tion has a yet been taken on the
Patman bill which seeks to extend the
intangible asset law to 19 additional
industries in Texas and whicn it is es-
timated would produce nearly $10,-
000,000 in revenue annually. The in-
tangible asset tax law applies now-
only on Texas railroads and ferry
companies.
A legislative investigation of the re-
cent awarding of text books by’ the
State Text Book Commission is ex-
pected to be under way’ during the
early part of the week. The house lias
already adopted the Laird concurrent
resolution providing for the appoint-
ment of a legislative committee of five
representatives and three senators to
conduct the probe, and the resolution
has already- received a favorable com-
mittee report in the senate, and is ex-
pected to come up for adoption Mon-
day in the senate. The Pope house
bill, which proposes to extend the
present book contracts for a period of
three years, has not only passed finally
in the house but has received a favor-
able committee report in the senate.
There is no doubt of the passage of
this bill in the upper branch, Rep.
Pope said he will call up his compan-
ion text book bill in the house on Mon-
day. This is the bill which is design-
ed to prevent the use of any of Hie
free text book fund to pay’ for books
contracted for under the new contracts.
While Governor Neff has urged that
an investigation be made into the ac-
tivities of the State Text Rook Com-
mission in the awarding of the con-
tracts. It is not considered likely he
will approve the Pope bills which
means a cancellation of the new con-
tracts.. This means that the legisla-
ture may’ be faced with thn question
of passing these bills over the Gover-
, nor’s .veto.

St. Jacobs Oil has cured millions of
rheumatism sufferers in the last half
century, and is just as good for sci-
providing for the establishment of the
Texas Technological College in West
Texas. The house bill on this subject
has passed to third reading and en-
grossment in the house, and the senate
bill by Bledsoe has also been en-
grossed. The bill carries an appropri-
ation of $1,000,000 and provides for the
reposing in senate committee. It is
expected to be called up soon, when it
is predicted opposition to its adoption
will develop. During the last regular
session of the legislature Barry Miller
of Dallas introduced a similar resolu-
tion and obtained its adoption in the
house, but the resolution met defeat
in the senate.
So far only one piece of constructive
legislation has made any progress in
the legislature. It is the Rountree
house bill carrying an appropriation of
$690,000 for flood control for the next
ships, anchored just outside the
three-mile limit T Atlantic
Headlands. Large signs gve

Children in these orphanages were de-
ported to Greece for safety from the
ravages of the Turks two months ago,
and now there are no children in Con-
stantinople. Six thousand orphans in
the orphanage at Kharpoot were de-
ported to Palestine, some being taken
to Nazareth and others to Bethlehem.
"The American relief committee does
not pay one cent for these, buildings
used as orphanages. They are given
to the committee by the various gov-
ernments for that purpose. In Armenia
alone the committee has been given
60,000 acres of land to be cultivated for
the Near East relief. An agricultural
expert from America has been placed
in charge of the agricultural activities,
and all kinds of grains and vegetables
are being raised there for those or-
f phanages.
