Agriculture for regulation and would
be forced to furnish bond and pay a
license fee to insure proper packing,
wrapping, marking and weighing of
cotton and cotton seed under the terms
of a bill introduced by Senator John
W. Hornsby of Travis county.
Annual licenses, to expire May 31,
are required of all ginners, whether
operated by individuals or companies,
under the bill, and new permits must
be obtained from the Commissioner of
Agriculture by July 1 of each year. A
license fee of $2.50 is to be charged.
Application for license shall include
the location, amount of capital invest-
ed and the name of the owner and op-
erator. Bond of not less than $500 is
required for each plant operated.
Obligations of the bond require that
the ginner shall weigh correctly all
cotton and seed and furnish the owner
of the cotton with correct ginning and
weighingtickets. The ginner also
must pack correctly all lint cotton and
certify that no foreign matter or water
has been placed in the cotton while in
his possession. Any bale of cotton
that has been on fire shall be stored

I would lie higher. The number of chil-
| dren attending school has increased by
: over one-third, due partly to the fact
। that the states have been raising the
ages of children covered by compul-
i sory school laws, and partly because
, parents want their children to receive
. more education.
"The average length of the school
term has been increasing. More chil-
dren are going to high schools than
formerly, and the education of a high
school student costs over twice as
much as that of one in grammar
school. All of the ie items have been
factors in ( ailing for more money for
edmillion. Every effort has been made
also to raise the quality of education,
and with such changes have come in-
creased salaries.
“Much of the same story is true of
increased expenditures for roads.
Labor and materials cost more, and we
are building vastly better roads and
giving them much harder usage. It
costs more to maintain them.”
Another reason for the upward sour-
ing of taxes, the bureau says, is be-
cause the average farm community
wants tilings which require more and
more taxes to buy.

by Governor Moody’s citizens advisory

The amendment, offered by Senators
