Senator Joe Burkett in a communi-

he believes “it would be a good idea
to abolish the board of water engi-

and the livestock sanitary commission
and place them as bureaus under the
agricultural department.” .

The governor is said to have gone
on record as not wishing to disturb
the board of water engineers, in view
of the important work it is doing under
its present status.
Senator Burkett would also have the
governor repeal at least a part of the
appropriation of >1.350,000 made at the
last session for the acquisition of 135
acres of land for the expansion of the
University of Texas. The Eastland
senator suggests that 8600 000 be clip-
ped from the appropriation. Senator
Burkett pointed out that in his op’nion
it would be at least fifty years before
the entire 186 acres would be needed.
Amending Motor Truck Law.
In accordance with the governor’s
recommendation, Representative King
of Throckmorton has introduced a bill
in the House repealing that portion of
the motor truck act of the last regu-
lar session which provides for a mile-
age tax. The bill proposes to tax
motor trucks on a license basis and
is designed to remove the discrimi-
nation against lighter motor trucks or
vehicles. One of its provisions makes
only one marker—a rear sign—neces-
sary besides the round seal now car-
ried on the front of the car.

Suit for >5000 damages was filed
Friday in the Twenty-sixth district
court against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company by White. Cartledge &
Wilcox, attorneys, in behalf of E. H.
Dayvault. The plea for damages is
baaed on the allegation that a telegram
sent to Day vault from Wharton calling
him to his dying father’s bedside was
delayed and not delivered to him until
after his father had died.
Day vault sets forth in the petition
that the telegram was sent to him la
the early afternoon of February 23,
1921, but was not delivered to him here
until about 9 o’clock on the morning
of'February 24. His father's death
came at 6 o’clock in the morning of
the 24th. Dayvault contends that had
the telegram been delivered to him
under the terms of the telegraph com-
pany’s contract in accepting the mes-
sage at Wharton he would have had
sufficient time to reach his fathers
bedside before his death.

The tragedy marked the closing day
of the encampment and cast a pall
of sadness over the gathering.
Price lost his life while attempting
to rescue Miss Hodges.
The only bodies recovered up to
early today—those of Price, Miu
Hodges and Dykes—were taken from
the water by Guy Caldwell and Adam
Gomel of Breckenridge. Caldwell also
rescued his sister, Miu Mildred Cald-
well. from drowning. Garney saved
the life of Miss Mary Morgan of Breck-
enridge, and another young woman
whose name has not been learned.
That the undertow was powerful is
disclosed by the fact that all the vic-
tims were adults.
Ordinarily the encampment would
have ended next Sunday but plans had
been changed to bring the meeting to
a conclusion late yesterday and the
bathing party went out with the Inten.
tion of enjoying a farewell swim. The
encampment spened July 12 and about
8,000 persons were In attendance.
A number of motor boats and air-
planes were being used in the searched
stration work. A favorable minority
report on the resolution will be pre-

There was considerable debate on
the resolution between Protessor F. M.
Brelley, president of the College of
Industrial Arts, and Dr. W. B. Bissell,
president of A. A M. College. Pro-
fessor Bralley urged the adoption of
th* resolution declaring the women
shoula have a share in this work. Dr.
Bizzell strenuously opposed the reso-
lution.
"There is no organised sentiment in
this State favorable to a change in
the administrative policy relating to
agricultural extension work," said Dr.
Bissell "So far as I know, th* farm
women of this State, for whose benefit
the work is conducted, are entirely
satisfied with its administration and
the results that are being obtained.
The organised farmers of this State
are solidly behind the work as now
administered and are not favorable to
any change In the administration."
"The organised club women of this
State," continued Dr. Bissell. "have
shown th* greatest pomeible sympa-
thetic Interest In the work as now con-
ducted and have declined to advocate
th* transfer of home demonstration to
the College of Industrlul Arts. Th*
fset is thst the organised women of
this State have worked in the closest
co-operation with the home demom-
stration forces of the A. A M. College
and every possible assistance has been
rendered by them in making this work
a success."

A concurrent resolution offered by
Representative Beasley of Hopkins was
adopted, protesting against high freight
rates fixed by the interstate com-
merce commission on truck and fruit
It was claimed the present rates are
confiscatory and prohibitive. The res-
olution also requested the Texas dele-
gation in Congress to devote their ef-
forts toward an amendment of the
federal transportation act to prevent
further encroachment by the interstate
commerce commission on the jurisdic-
tion of the Texas railroad commission.
Representative Dinkel of Hunt intro-
duced a concurrent resolution Instruct-
ing the Texas delegation in Congress
to urge upon Congress the reimburse-
ment of Southern farmers for cotton
taxes paid the federal government in
1864, 1866 and 1867. The resolution
would also authorise the governor to!
appoint a suitable person to person- l
ally urge passage of a bill now before
Congress asking for such an appropri-
ation. The resolution was referred to
the House committee on State affairs.

Seeks Veto of Confidence in Neff.
What promises to create a lively
and interesting situation is a reso-
lution to be introduced in the House
by Representatives Morris of Medina
and Rogers of Harris, in which it is
proposed to take a vote of confidence
in the administration of Governor Pat
M. Neff. The text of the resolution.
J. I. Voorhees of San Antonio, pur-
chasing agent of the Howard Hide and
Leather Company of Correy, Pa., is in
Austin superintending the shipment of
a trainload of hides from Austin to San
Antonio over the International & Great
Northern Railroad. The hides are
being loaded at the freight depot of
the I. & G. N. and are moving forward
in carload lots. Mr. Voorhies stated
Thursday afternoon that he had pur-
chased for his company a quarter mil-
lion pounds of hides from butchers in
Austin and Travis county. These
hides, he said, have accumulated here
during the past eighteen months be-
cause tanneries did not need hides to
fill an extreme demand tor leather.
Although the hides are being con-
centrated at San Antonio, they will be
shipped to the tanneries of the How-
ard concern at Correy, Pa., whee the
heavier hides are used for making sole
leather avd the lighter grades, known
as calf and kipp skins, are sold to other
tanneries for miscellaneous purposes.
Only hides weighing forty pounds and
over are tanned by the Correy tan-
neries. Mr. Voorhies stated.
An interesting comparison of market
prices on hides was given in a state-
ment by Mr. Voorhies, who said he
had purchased the entire lot/ of hides
at 4 1 cents a pound, whereas eighteen
months ago he was forced to pay 50 ।
cents for the same hides. Mr. Voorhies
said that with the inereaacd demand
now being made by tanneries over the
country for hides, he expected the hide
market to improve materially within a
short time. Leather prices will also
show further reduction shortly, in the
opinion of Mr. Voorhies.
The shipment of hides includes 700
pounds from San Marcos and 400
pounds from Pflugerville.

fa rfamed Shreveport rate case should
be laid bare to the eyes of you folks
who are the traveling public.”
Mr. Mayfield discussed the evils re-
sulting from the decision made in the
Shreveport case and the bearing of this
case on the present excessive freight
rates. The speaker cited numerous in-
stances where the rates exceeded the
marketing cost of the commodities.
Referring particularly to the Shreve-
port rate case Mr. Mayfield indicted
the interstate commerce commission
with having perpetrated upon Texas
"a trick, a sham and a fraud.”
"In order to secure control over the
rates in Texas, the interstate com-
merce commission found that practi-
cally our entire system of rates dis-
criminated against the city of Shreve-
port, when it is a matter of common
knowledge that 95 per cent of the
Texas rates bear no relation whatever
to the city of Shreveport. It was a
trick, a sham and a fraud perpetrated
upon the great sovereign State of
Texas that once was a glorious re-
public before it laid itself into the lap
of the nation."
State Commission Powerteas.
Mr. Mayfield arraigned in severe
terms the railroads which he declared
were responsible for the epactment of
the Cummins-Esch bill passed by Con-
gress under which the railroads were
returned to their owners on March 1,
1920.
“The new transportation act is_ the
product of the railroads," Mr. Mayfield
pointed out. They induced Congress
to write into the new act the decision
of the Shreveport case, and today
every fretjht rate,’passenger fare and
Pullman charge in the United States
has been made by the Interstate com-
merce commission at Washington.
"The hands of the State commissions
are tied by federal injunction, and the
commerce of the nation, both State
and interstate is compelled to move
under rates prescribed entirely by the
interstate commerce commission. Con-
gress is the only tribunal that can re-
store to the State commissions their
original powers, and in order to do that
it will not only be necessary to repeal
the rate making section of the new
transportation act, but it will be neces-
sary to go further and limit the rate
making power of the interstate com-
merce commission so that it can not
nullify State made rates like it did by
its action in the Shreveport and similar
cases."
Mr. Mayfield declared the new
transportation act nullifies and de-
stroys every statute in Texas regu-
lating railroads. The new transpor-
tation a ct, he an id, destroys the Hogg
stock and bond law, which empowered
the Texas commission to regulate the
amount of securities a railroad might
issue and transfers that power to the
interstate commerce commission.
“We have a statute which provides
that 3 cents per mile shall be the maxi-
mum charge of passenger rates in
Texas, but that statute' has been de-
stroyed by the rate making section of
the new transportation act and the
inrstate commerce commission has in-
creased our passenger rates to 3.6 cents
per mile.
"We have a statute that declares
when once a railroad has been con-
structed in Texas, it can not be aban-
doned until it has secured the consent
of the Legislature. Under this pro- i
