But, hundreds have passed. House
members took a quick look at a
long, uncontested bills calendar,
then passed 164 measures on to the
Senate in two days.
Senators are now considering
these bills and scrambling to get
the House-passed tax bill under the
wire before adjournment on or
about May 10.
Subject to Senate approval is a
two-cent gasoline tax increase, a
one-cent-per-pack increase in ciga-
rette taxes, plus a tax on cigars,
snuff and packaged tobacco. Also
in the omnibus tax bill is a levy on
trading stamps and uranium ore. A

I compare the troubles which we
have to undergo in the course of
the year to a great bundle of fa-
gots, far too large for us to lift.
But God does not require us to
carry the whole at once. He merci-
fully unties the bundle, and gives
us first one stick, which we are to
carry today, and then another,
which we are to carry tomorrow,
and so on. This we might easily

AUSTIN, Texas.—All eyes are on
the clock now as Legislators vie
for position at the Speaker’s post,
to “run” with their favorite bills.
Time is swiftly bringing the Leg-
islative “race” to a close.
Hundreds of bills will die on the
that steps be taken to remedy the
drouth situation.
SHORT SNORTS: The Legislat-
ture made permanent 10 temporary
district courts and created four
more .... Congressional and ju-
dicial redistricting bills died in the
session’s log-jam .... A constitu-
tional amendment to let the state
make retribution to persons who
serve time in prison for crimes
they don’t commit passed both
houses and will be voted on at the
general election next year . . . .
Two House bills to tighten enforce-
ment of narcotics laws passed the
House and were favorably ap-
proved by the Senate criminal
jurisprudence committee.

It‘is estimated that the tax bill, the State and Federal governments
as written, will produce $25,000,000
a year in additional revenue for the
general fund. That is $5,000,000
short of the appropriation bill. So,
there will have to be more levies,
or the appropriation bill cut.
Veterans Land Bill
Both houses voted to submit a
constitutional amendment to the
people, in November of 1956, call-
ing for an additional $100,000,000
for the 'veterans land program. Re-
placement of the Governor and At-
torney General as members of the
Veterans Land Board, by two ap-
pointed members, is specified in the
bill.
Governor Allan Shivers and At-
torney John Ben Shepperd repudi-
ated the minutes of the board as
compiled by Bascom Giles, former
Land Commissioner, and the Board
ordered the minutes corrected.
Senator Jimmy Phillips, member
of the Senate investigating com-
mittee, immediately seized, for pho-
tostating, all the old minute books.
Phillips said he did this, under
committee subpoena, “to make cer-
tain that there is a permanent rec-
ord of the minutes as they were
originally entered.”
Labor Legislation
Three bills by Sen. George Park-
house, all fought by organized la-
bor, moved ahead in the House.
The “Ford Motor Bill” was soft-
ened, then passed, subject to Sen-
ate concurrence. It prohibits unem-
ployment compensation benefits to
workmen idled by a strike in oth-
er plants owned by their employer.
It exempts the workman who makes
a good-faith offer to return to his
job.
Modified by the House labor com-
mittee, and reported favorably, was
Parkhouse’s bill to eliminate “Port
Arthur” strike situations. It would
stop unions from picketing plants
where the majority of the workers
were non-union.
Another Parkhouse bill author-
izes suits for ‘injunctions and dam-
ages.
Workmen’s Benefits
Benefits for workmen are des-
tined to improve.
Passed by the House was a bill
by Rep. Garth Bates, increasing the
workmen’s compensation rate from
$25 to $35 a week.
A Senate bill by Parkhouse in-
creases benefits under unemploy-
ment compensation from $20 to $25
a week, while restricting those who
may receive jobless pay.
Governor Crawford Martin
You can call him Governor Mar-
tin now.
Sen. Crawford C. Martin of Hills-
boro became governor for a day.
As President-Pro-Tem of the Sen-
ate, he became acting Governor
When Governor Shivers went to
Washington and Lt. Gov. Ben
Ramsey conveniently absented him-
self across the Sabine River for a
day.
Friends of the Hillsboro Senator
organized a “junior inaugural” in
his honor.
Shivers Has 1,000 Guests
Governor and Mrs. Shivers were
hosts to some 1,000 guests at a
formal reception at the Mansion.
The biennial affair, given for
legislative members, state officials
and their wives, was the big party
of the week in Austin.
Appointments Confirmed
Twenty-nine appointments made
by Governor Shivers were ap-
proved by the Senate. These in-
cluded:
PRESIDING JUDGES: Judge W.
L. Jack Thornton of Dallas, first
administrative judicial district;]
Judge Howard P. Green of Cuero, 1

Jones of Breckenridge, eighth dis-
