time to make payments was the idea
expressed to teachers of the Austin
public schools Saturday morning at
their Institute by Dr. William E. Dodd,
professor of American history at the
University of Chicago.
Dr. Dodd is teaching history in the
University of Texas during the winter
term and is regarded as an authority
in history. His topic Saturday morn-
ing was “America’s Foreign Relations”
and he gave a comprehensive review
of political conditions as they now ex-
ist in Europe and pointed out the re-
lation of the various Europea. coun-
tries to the United States in diplo.
matic affairs.
He dwelt at someleng’h on the debt
owed the United States by the Euro-
pean countries and said he did not
favor the cancellation of the allied
reparations as has been suggested by
some diplomats. He gave historical
facts in connection with the French
invasion of the Ruhr, In which he
neither praised nor condemned either
the French or the German sides of
the controversy. The Monroe Doc-
trine and the League of Nations were
other topics discussed by Dr. Dodd.
Thespeaker declared it was unfortu-
nate for America that the United
States did not accept the League of
Nations idea in the settlement of in-
ternational controversies and that it
was equally unfortunate for Europe
that the European countries did not
accept President Wilson's idea of the
Monroe Doctrine applying to them in
the same manner as it appears to the
United States.
Duffy said the demand for public
health nurses who have completed the
course in the University is much
greater than the supply.
Most of'the fifty graduate nurses
who have completed the course are
carrying on their work in Texas. How-
ever, one is now working in France,
another Is in South America, while
several others are scattered over the
United States. Practical nursing ex-
perience is necessary before one is
eligible to take the course, and accord-
ing to Miss Duffy, the women who
have gone out into public health nurs-
ing have made great successes.

With the new year come new ideas
and customs, and one of these has
already made its appearance in the
law school of the University of Texas.
The faculty of that school has Insti-
tuted the now custom of holding lunch-
eon meetings at 1 o’clock each Thurs-
day at the Faculty Club. The purpose
of the meetings is to give the members
of the faculty an opportunity to be-
come better acquainted and to advance
the fellowship existing among them.
"These meetings," said Judge
Townes, "have proved very successful
in the larger Eastern colleges, where
they are steadily gaining popularity.
They furnish the faculty members
means of meeting one another on to-
tally informal grounds, to exchange
ideas freely and to consult in a- friendly
manner on points of interest regarding
the law and the good of the school.
The faculty has had the plan under
consideration for several months, but
w.s unable to arrive at any definite
action until Thursday, January 4, when
the first of the meetings took place.
On that day the members of the law
faculty assembled at the Faculty Club
and enjoyed an informal get-together
around the luncheon table.
The delegates to the meeting of the
Association of American Law Schools
which was held in Chicago during the
Christmas holidays were called upon
to make reports of the meeting. In-
teresting talks were heard from them
and a- paper was read by Professor
A. L. Green.
The success of this initial meeting
was very encouraging, and It is hoped
the weekly luncheons will grow Into
one of the permanent institutions of
the law faculty." „-fhn

EL PASO, Texas, Feb. 3.—Joo Good-
elb hotel man, declared today that a
few weeks ago Clara Phillips, "hammer
urderess," stopped at his hotel here
and was recognized by bellboys, who
later obtained a picture of her for
identification purposes and said pos-
lively that the visitor was Clara Phil-
lips.
Goodell also said a man staying at
his hotel took him to Juarez and
showed him a house where Mrs. Phil-
lips was said to have stopped for a
while.
- This report, local pollee say, led in-
vestigators to Juarez. Later it was
reported that the woman had fled to

now being distributed among teachers

Probably one of the most important
pieces of constructive legislation now
pending on the house calendar, la the
Satterwhite measure proposing the
creation of a state tax equalisation
board. This bill was considered
briefly last Thursday morning in the
house just before adjournment for the
Rio Grande valley jaunt and is pend-
ing business in tho house for Mon-
day. The purpose-of this measure is
to establish a uniform system of tax-
ation in Texas which is admitted on
all sides to be badly needed. The pas-
sage of this bill is practically assured.
The board is composed of the gov-
ernor, secretary of state and state
comptroller, in addition to a paid tax
commissioner at a salary of $4,000 an-
nually.
An interesting contest is scheduled
in the senate when the senate bill
accepting the provisions of the Shep-
pard-Towner maternity act comes up
for consideration. It is known there
is considerable opposition to the meas-
ure in the upper branch, the opposi-
tion being led by Senator John Davis
of Dallas. The senate has already
gone on record as being opposed to
these so-called fifty-fifty federal ap-
States and also be given a .
Women’s Blubs is back of this meas-
ure as well as other of the women’s
organizations. The house bill by
Dodd on the same subject has already
passed to engrossment in that body.
An effort is being made to have a
joint hearing this week of the house
and senate committees on the Ridge-
way-Stuart public utilities bill intro-
duced in the senate this week. At this
hearing city officials of the various
cities and towns of the state are ex-
pected to be In attendance. This bill
places all public utilities under the
Jurisdiction of the Texas railroad com-
mission It empowers the commis-
sion to determine the rates that are
to be charged by these utilities. It
includes motor transport as a public
utility, and creates the utilities divi-
sion of the commission. The bill also
creates a “utilities fund" of one-half
of one per cent to defray the expenses
of administration of the measure. It
also adds $1,000 a year to the salaries
of each of the nembers of the com-
mission.
The bill applies principally to in-
terurban utilities, and specia:ly ex-
empts from its operation local public
utilities in the cities operating under
the so-called home rule amendment.
Senator John Davis of Dallas, who did
not g on the Rio Grande valley out-
ing. would not commit himself on the
measure, declaring he would have to
study it closely before he gave the
measure his support
in well informed circles it s stated
that Governor Neff is to send to the
senate next week his list of appointees
for confirmation and In this connec-
tion it is said that opposition is to
develop against the confirmation of a
few of the appointees. It is known
that a fight is to be made against
the confirmation of Adjutant General
Thomas D. Barton, for Senator Joe
Burkett of Eastland has so announced.
Burkett also claimed that the Ameri-
can Legion was entering the fight in
favor of General Barton, but offi-
cials of the Legion have also strenu-
ously disclaimed that the Legion is
taking any hand in the proposition.
There has been pending on the
house calendar for the past ten days
the Melson bill which proposes to
abolish the state markets and ware-
house department and place the af-
fairs of that department under the
supervision of the department of agri-
culture. but so far the bill has never
-been reached for consideration. When
it does come up a lively debate is an-
ticipated as there will be considerable
opposition to the proposed merger.
Commissioner of Agriculture Terrell
has recommended the merger, and two
years ago Governor Neff also recom-
mended the change In the interest of
economy, but this year he has not
made a specific recommendation along
that line. The bill two years ago
passed the house but failed by a couple
of votes In the senate. There is also
a bill pending to abolish the livestock
sanitary commission and place its
duties also under the department of
agriculture, but this measure is being
strenuously opposed by the livestock
interest of the state and has little
chances of passing during the present
session.

When the Thirty-eighth legislature
reconvenes Monday morning, after the
junketing trip in the Rio Grande val-
ley, it will find a congestion of meas-
ure in various stages of legislation
to be finally disposed of in both
branches. Many of these measures are
of real importance while others are
of only minor interest. There have
been introduced 665 bills in both
branches, of which 265 were presented
in the senate and 400 in the house.
This is about the average number in-
troduced in a regular session of the
legislature for the corresponding
period And the accomplishments of
the Thirty-eighth are about on a par
with previous sessions of tho legis-
lature for the same length • time.
It is conservatively estimated that
of the 665 bills introduced, less than
200 are of general interest, the re-
mainder being merely local in their
nature, such as road and school bills,
and of the 200 it is not likely that
over 75 are of major importance.
There have been passed finally in
both branches approximately 10 bills,
the amjority of which are local meas-
ures, the others of general interest
but of minor importance. There has
been only one real important bill en-
acted during the present session, and
which is also a constructive piece of
legislation. It is the. flood control bill,
providing for a topographic and hy-
drographic survey of the rivers of the
state under the direction of the state
board of water engineers and the state
reclamation engineer, and carrving an
appropriation of $600,000 for the next
two fiscal years. This bill becomes
effective September 1, 1923, having
already been signed by the governor.
The bill proposing the establishment
of the Texas Technological College
in West Texas has reached such an
advanced .stage of legislation that its
final enactment is assured. The sen-
ate bill by Bledsoe has passed finally
in the senate and is now in the house
for consideration on a favorable re-
port, while the Chitwood et al. house
bill has passed to engrossment. The
plan is now. to substitute the senate
bill when the house measure comes up
for final passage in the house. This
will greatly expedite the final enact-
ment of this measure. This is ex-
pected to be accomplished du; ing the
early part of next week. It will then
be up to the governor to approve the
measure. The bill carries an appro-
priation of $1,000,060,
Final results are expected to be ob-
tained this week on the text book sit-
uation. and it is expected that the
two Pope house bills will ba passed
and presented to Governor Neff for
approval-or disapproval—before the
end of the week. The first of these
bills, the one which would extend the
present text book contracts for a
period of three years from December
1, 1922, has already passed finally in
the house and passed to engrossment
in the senate. It is scheduled to come
up for final passage in the senate
early next week and its passage is as-
sured, after which it goes to the gov-
ernor. The Pope text book bill has
passed to engrossment in the house
and is on the calendar for final pas-
sage. This would have the effect of
canceling the new text book contracts
made recently by the state text book
commission.
Although the enactment of these
two Pope bills is virtually tssured,
no action has as yet been taken by
the senate on the Laird house con-
current resolution providing for a leg-
islative Investigation of the awarding
of the text book contracts. The res-
olution is pending in the senate with
a favorable ■ committee report. Gov-
ernor Neff in a special message to the
senate urged the adoption of the’res-
olution so that the investigation could
be made.
The Winfree house concurrent res-
olution providing for a legislative in-
vestigation of the Standard oil and
its alleged subsidiaries in Texas, is
still reposing in senate committee.
The resolution was adopted over a
week ago in the houseand sent to the
senate, but a pparegt little effort has
been made to get the resolution on the
floor of the senate- for consieration.
Two years ago, the'legislature adopted
a similar resolution {without much op-
position. but it met wth defeat in the
•upper. branch, and this seems to be
the fate awaiting the Winfree: resolu-
tion.
