The message of Governor Campbell,
read *• both houses of tlie Legisla-
ture, reviews at length the work of
his administration and in conclusion
makes a number of recommendations.
In part the message follows:
To the Senate and House of Rep-
resentatives: As members of the
Thirty-first Legislature, you have each
voluntarily undertaken an important
task. Yaw dutios are important and
your responsibilities are serious. You
have assembled under favorable con-
ditions. The State Treasury is on a
cash basis. The State is general!;
prosperous and the people are content-
ed and happy. The law is supreme in
Texas and the laws are now very gen-
erally enforced and obeyed.
The laws enacted and the reforms
wrought ander the present administra-
tion is behalf of the great masses of
the people of Texas, have been under
fire for nearly two years and have re-
peatedly received the emphatic en-
dorsement of the Democratic votes of
our State and have been approved and
re-affirmed by the organized Democ-
racy in convention assembled. The
platform of the opposition party de-
manded the repeal or modification of
many «f these important laws, and that
party, Its candidates and its platform
were repudiated and defeated by about
150,00« majority. Desperate efforts
have been employed by sinister
agencies to discredit these laws and to
defeat the operation of these reforms,
but the people have willed otherwise
and the laws have come to stay. Such
changes as • may be sought by the
friends of the laws to strengthen them
and to facilitate their more beneficial
and effective operation and which may
be dictated by experience, may, with
propriety, be made, but these laws
were demanded by the people, they
were enacted by their trusted repre-
sentatives and in spirit and substance
they should stand. They are just and
rlgtat and ought to 3tand. Thf results
of the recent political contests involv-
ing these laws and reforms strikingly
demonstrate that the agencies of cor-
rupt and sinister special interests can-
not dominate and control in Texas.
The patriotism of our people and the
freedom of speech which obtains in
Texas makes it certain that her incor-
ruptible electorate can be safely
trusted to uphold the public official
who keeps the faith and redeems his
pledged made to them. Those who
have contended that modifications and
exceptions in their interest should be
made in the laws enacted by the last
legislature, might have placed their
propositions upon the Democratic pri-
mary election ticket and thus tested
them at the ballot box, or they could
have uncovered their schemes in the
last Democratic convention and their
plans were suggested time and again
as open to them. This course was
open ander the law, but they chose
rather to undertake the defeat of
candidates who stood for these laws.
In this they signally failed in every
instance. The State Democratic con-
vention, following the lead of nearly
all the county conventions, endorsed
the laws as they stood and placed the
party candidates upon a platform com-
mitted to their perpetuation. The
enemies of the legislation and reforms
enacted by the last legislature chose
to snbmit their demands for repeal,
changes and modifications thereof in
the Republican state platform, of
course, which binds all representa-
tives f that party faith. Democrats
are bound by party action, by the
verdict rendered at the polls and by
the platform made by its convention.
As to Full Rendition.
The county tax rolls for 1906, 1907
and 2908, disclose the gross inequali-
ties obtaining throughout the state
prior the recent tax legislation, and
They farther show that an earnest er-
fort was made in the large majority
of the counties to comply with the
laws respecting rendition, assessment
and equalization. In a few counties,
however, the law was little short of
unconscionable. These counties re-
ceived the full benefits of the reduc-
tions in the state ad valorem tax rates
from 20 to 6 1-4 cents, and the state
school ad valorem tax rate from 20
to 2 3 cents, and received the full
■benefit increase in the apportionment
of .the available school fund, but by
the dereliction and disregard of duty
on the part of their trusted tax offi-
cials, they contributed practically
nothing by the increase of values re-
sulting in such general good. This
so manifestly unfair and unjust
that an effective remedy should be
speedily jftovided by law.
In Making Appropriations.
In making appropriations it would
be well to keep in mind the fact that
under our present system of taxation,
the tax rate for the years 1909 and
1910 will be fixed by the appropria-
tions made by this legislature. In
creased appropriations mean not a
possible deficit, but an increased ad
valorem tax rate, and, of course, heav-
ier taxes, and every eeonomy consis-
tent with the State's absolute necessi-
ties and with efficiency in the admin-
istration of the State government
be observed.
Removals from Office.
Article 5124-E of chapter 14 of the
Acts of the First Called Session of
the Thirtieth Legislature should be
amended so that suits for removal
from office may be instituted and
prosecuted either in the county of
such officer's residence, or in the
district court of Travis county, at the
option of the attorney general. Laws
should also be enacted providing that
resignations or expirations of terms of
office shall no t abate actions for the
moval from office, and the law should
further provide that county officert
who,are removed from office for mal
feasance or misfeasance or .for any
dereliction shall not thereafter hold
office in this state until their eligibil-
ity is established and restored by act
of the legislature.
State Prohibition.
Jhe Democratic platform' demands
the submission by your honorable bod-
ies of a constitutional amendment to
the voters of the State for adoption
or rejection, providing for constitu-
tional State prohibition. This demand
is embodied in the fifteenth plank of
the Democratic platform, and reads as
follows:
"We demand the submission by the
Thirty-first Legislature of the State
of Texas of a constitutional amend-
ment to the people of the State of
Texas for adoption or rejection, pro-
hibiting within the State of Texas
the manufacture, sale, gift, exchange
and intra-state shipment of spirltous,
vinous and malt liquors and medicated
bitters capable of producing intoxica-
tion, except for medicinal and sacra-
mental purposes.
"We recommend that the prohibi-
tion amendment demanded by the re-
cent primary election be submitted to
all qualified voters at a special elec-
tion to be held in 1909. We declare
that at such election a vote for or
against the amendment shall not be
considered a test of Democracy, as it
Is not the purpose of this convention
to commit the Democratic party for
or against State prohibition."
Upon the principle that the people
should have what they want, and in
view of the party pledge, the sub-
mission of the amendment is respect-
fully urged.
It is not a question of expediency,
and it makes no difference how Demo-
crats view the question of State pro-
hibition. A man's position upon State
prohibition is not involved In the
platform demand, but when Democrats
by their votes place a demand upon
the law-making power in the platform
of their party, I respectfully urge that
such action should bind every man
who holds a Democratic commission.
I further recommend that the amend-
ment be submitted to the qualified
voters of Texas at an election to be
held during the present year to the
end that this question may be dis
posed of without delay.
Banks and Banking.
The message recommends a law
providing for protection to the depos-
itors in the State banks of Texas. The
guarantee system advocated by Mr.
Bryan is championed. Also the pas-
sage of a law definitely and strictly
regulating the business of private
bankers and of those banks chartered
prior to the adoption of the constitu-
tion of 1876.
Freight and Passenger Rates.
It is a matter of common knowledge
that the local freight rates applying
upon Texas traffic are higher than
that applying upon the local traffic
of almost any State in the Union, and
the faithful efforts of our Railroad
Commission to reach a proper adjust?
ment and to give the people needed
relief have been resisted by every
means and every subterfuge that
could be decised by corporate cun-
ning. In the enforcement of the Rail-
way Commission law the commission-
ers should be fortified with ample
funds to meet every necessity. About
seventeen States have reduced the
passenger rates to two cents per mile
per passenger, and not one of them
hav given railways enough land fn
value to equal all the railroads in
such States. This Texas has done.
During the last regular and called
session of the Legislature I recom-
mended that the passenger rates in
Texas be reduced by legislative enact-
ment to a maximum of two cents per
mile. A bill having that object in
view was introduced, and,, of course,
it was resisted by the railways and
by every other agency that could be
brought to their aid and assistance.
This measure failed mainly as a result
of the promise of the railways to give
the people better service and neces-
sary relief from the unusual burdens
imposed upon commerce and traffic, in
the way of freight rates.
The conditions have not Improved,
and instead of reduction of freight
rates, the railways have increased the
rates applying on interstate traffic
having origin or destination in Texas
an average of nearly ten per cent,
which increase uoon the commerce
and upon the products of the forests,
factories and farms, of this State wil
amount to at least $3,000 000 per an
num. The anti-pass law also largely
Increased their revenue from passen-
ger earnings I therefore again ear-
nestly urge upon the Legislature the
enactment of a law reducing passen-
ger rates to two cents per mile.
The great masses of the people of
Texas have reason to expect that the'r
Interests will be oared for by the Leg-
islature, and as this reduction in pas-
senger rates is justified by the in-
creasing volume of business and by
existing conditions. I see no reason
why justice should not now be done
Public Health.
The health department of the state
has been ably and faithfully adminis-
tered. Every precaution to prevent
the introduction and spread of contag-
ious and infectious diseases in the
state has been taken. The health de-
partment has been often handicapped
however by reason of limited author-
ity and funds, and on account of the
limited agencies at hand and of this
the Democratic convention took cogni
, eance.
Praise for Text Book 3oard.
At the meeting, on February 1, all
ipembers being present, the bids of
thirty-five publishers and book con-
cerns were opened and full and ample
hearing before the board was given
each bidder. After the hearings were
finished, the members of the board en-
tered upon the examination of the
books submitted, and thereafter the
board adopted and entered into con-
tracts for all of the books designated
by the law for adoption and use in the
public free schools of Texas. In the
performance of their duties, the mem-
bers of the board sought the best
books, and, I believe, observed all the
properties. It is manifest that the
school children of Texas received the
benefit of the best judgment of each
individual member of the board, hon-
estly and faithfully exercised. The
text-books adopted have been repeat-
edly pronuonced by capable and disin-
terested educators to be as good as
the best, and the cheapest and best
books, that the Texas schools have ever
had. It is a matter of common knowl-
edge among educators that, taken as a
whole, no state in the Union has a bet-
ter state adoption than the books se-
lected by the last State text-book com-
mission for use in our schools. Un-
scrupulous political miscreants who
were doubtless hired by disgruntled
and disappointed school book concerns
whose .books were not adopted, some
for political purposes and others
doubtless for pay, and maybe out of
malice, have., misrepresented these
books and have slandered and libeled
the members of the state text-book
board. They have scrupled at nothing
to foment discord in political and of-
ficial circles.
Such legislation as will punish such
offenders and prohibit effectually
such frauds upon the school children
and the public schools of this state
should be enacted.
Laws of the Thirtieth.
The governor insists that the tax
laws and all other laws of the Thirt-
tieth legislature have borne good
fruit. Speaking of law enforcement
the message says:
"The mandate of the constitution
is clear and the duty of the governor,
with respect to enforcing the law, is
plain, but the governor's powers are
not adequate, and adequate statutory
powers as contemplated by the con-
stitution should be promptly provided
by legislation suited to present con-
ditions as well as for future conting
encles, obedience to all criminal laws
should be a condition in liquor deal-
ers' bonds and jurisdiction should be
given to the district courts of Travis
county."
School Fund Mismanaged.
It is learned from official sources
that the permanent school fund of
many counties has through mlaman-
agreement and In some cases evident
design, been seriously impaired, and
in several counties wholly squander-
ed. It is therefore urgently recom-
mended that immediate steps be taken
by appropriate legislation for the re-
imbursement of this fund by the coun-
ties and requiring its complete rehab-
itation. Adequate laws for the pro-
tection and preservation of this fund
In future should be enacted without
delay. As to public lands the gover-
nor says:
"The situation with reference to the
public lands of this state presents an
important matter that should receive
legislative attention. I am advised that
large tracts of lands belonging to the
various institutions of the State are
now being occupied and used contrary
to law but no department of the state
government has been provided jr-fth
the necessary funds or assistance to
procure the testimony upon which" to
base actions against unlawful occu-
pants. Some provision should be
made for the purpose of recovering
and protecting these lands from being
Illegally acquired and from*belng held
in violation of the laws of the State.
Insurance and Banking.
Insurance laws of the Thirtieth are
defended with zeal. As to the Robert-
son law, the message says:
"For the reason fully set out in the
report of the commissioner, I recom-
mend that this law be amended so that
the feature requiring the deposit of
the securities be eliminated and that
the provision authorizing waiver by
the commissioner be eliminated, but
that all life insurance companies do-
ing business in the state shall invest
and keep invested in Texas securities
75 per cent of their reserves on their
Texas policies, is a feature of the law
that should not be disturbed.
Oil and Rice.
With respect to the oil and rice in-
dustry, the platform of the Democratic
party reads as follows:
"Recognizing that the oil and rice
industries are of great Importance tor
the growth of the State, we recom-
mend legislation that will protect
them, and we also recommend that ad-
equate provision be made for fixing
and regulating the charges of canal
and pipe line companies."
This demand of the party Is worthy
of your careful attention, and I re
spectfully urge the enactment of ap
propriate and adequate legislation in
respect to the same.
Other Subjects Treated.
Great praise is given the attorney
general's department for enforcement
of anti-trust laws and credit given
for many important victories; legisla
tion to prohibit the sale of frosty and
other beverages in local option dis-
tricts is urged and many reforms sug
gested in the criminal laws of the
state; it is recommended that boot-leg
ging in local option territory shall b^
made a felony and that all technical!
ties which tend to defeat justice shall
be effaced.
At The State Capital
DOINGS OF THE LEGISLATORS NOW IN
SESSION AT AUSTIN.
-mm
Austin, Tex.—It was nearly 4 o'clock
when the special order, the joint reso-
lution providing for the submission of
a prohibition amandment to the con-
stitution, was reached in the House
Monday afternoon, it having taken un-
til that time to conclude the canvass
of the vote cast for governor and lieu-
tenant governor at the last election.
The resolution with appended major-
ity and minority reports having been
read and the question of its passage
to engrossment having been submitted
by the speaker, Canales of Cameron
was recognized in support thereof.
Admitting that he had been locally
instructed against submission and that
he came from a section which was
pronouncedly anti, the gentleman from
Cameron stated that he favored sub-
mission, because he considered in-
structions from the State convention
supreme. He was liberally applauded
from the galleries, which were evi-
dently packed with advocates of sub-
mission, or, if there were any antis
up there, they were not at all demon-
strative.
Fitzhugh of Tarrant followed Ca-
nales for the anti-submissionists. He
had not spoken long before attempts
were made to hurrah him by submis-
slonlsts seated in the galleries. This
provoked a few vitriolic retorts from
Mr. Fitzhugh, which were taken excep-
tions to by a man standing above the
speaker's stand, who shouted at him
that the snake hunters would get him
if he wasn't careful.
The speaker promptly put a stop to
the disorder by announcing that the
galleries would be cleared at the next
interruption and ordering the man who
had done the shouting ejected. The
offender shifted his position, but was
finally located and permitted to re-
main upon promise to be good.
Much of Mr. Fitzhugh's time was
consumed in answering questions pro-
pounded by Mr. Canales, who was fin-
ally ruled out of order on the ground
that he was trying to work In a sec-
ond speech by the question route.
At the conclusion of Fitzhugh's re-
marks Mr. Gaines moved the previous
question. The motion was lost by a
vote of 81 to 44. Therefore, first vote
in favor of antis.
House Doings.
The House Monday morning, on mo-
tion of O'Bryan, created the office of
supervisor of porters, whose duty it

HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Proved a Wise, Good Friend.
A young woman out in la. found &
wise, good friend in her mother-in-law,
jokes notwithstanding. She writes:
"It is two years since we began us-
ing Postum in our house. I was great*
ly troubled with my stomach, complex-
ion was blotchy and yellow. After
meals I often suffered sharp pains and
would have to lie down. My mother
often told me it was the coffee I drank
at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd
have a severe headache.
"While visiting my mother-in-law I
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good 'coffee' when you
use Postum.
"I began to use Postum as soon as I
got home, and now we have the same
good 'coffee* (Postum) every day, and
I have no more trouble. Indigestion Is
a thing of the past and my complex-
ion has cleared up beautifully.
"My grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
"She finally was induced to try
Postum which she has used for over a
year. She traveled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to do
for years. She says she owes her
present good health to Postum."
