State reclamation engineer, la anxious that
the laws be revised *o as to afford an ede
quale system of reclaiming and draining

ed the necessity for this change. Discuss-
ing the matter today he said:
"*ln the ligiit of the recent severe floods

itseif upon the attention of all persons
Interested Id levee building that our other
wi>e admirable levee and drainage district
statute is financially inadequate. The
tii it is at hand when a more com pre hen
sive statute must be enacted. From an
engineering standpoint there are, briefly,
three primary objects that Mich a law
should strive to attain. u> follows
'First -One systematic continuous proj-
ect for each river.
"Second—State supervision of designs
and locations of levees prior to actual con-
struction.
•'Third--An adequate system of financ-
ing levee and drainage construction.
"A thorough study of the situation local-
ly and extensive comparisons with other
statutes of other States is now being made,
but before anything definite can be of
fered rnv desire is to have the advice and
approval of the Attorney Geueral iu order
that all leaal obstacles 1* met. I am al-
ready of the opinion that a constitutional
amendment Is almost imperative if an en
tirely adequate system ia to be perfected."

cluded today, it was adjourned to Janu-

TL« Express Austin Bureau.
AI STIN. Tex., Dec. 23.—The Supreme
Court d»«ems it proper to call attention
of the bar of the State to the act of the
Thirty-third Legislature, chapter 50, page
ld7. by i which tbe law relating to the
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court was ma-
terially amended and changed, and which
took effect July I, 1913; also to the amend- I
before the heariug and give his opinion 1 ments of the rules of the court adopted
as to the rates.
Practically all of the indemulty com
panies* representatives present yesterdsy
were here today and nearly all of them
participated iu the dlscussiou to a more
or less degree, as did the representatives
of the «ate Mutual and the Employers'
Insurance Association.
A mass of figures from different States
and from experience in tills State were
presented by the indemnity men to show-
that the rates filed by the Mutual are
entirely Inadequate, that the stock com-
panies cannot live on these rules, and that
us the Mutual's rates must be observed
as maximum In liability iuaurance In
Texas the Commissioner should not ap-
prove the schedule filed. Today's argu-
ments and Illustrations were in ampllfi-
j ''atlon of yesterday's points aud figures.
They contend that the stork companies
should remain and compete with the
State's Mutual, as competition promotes
efficiency uud ecouomy, while monopoly
encourages extravagance and lneffileency.
I'LTU'OSi; OF STATE'S Ml iTAL.
The Indemnity representatives dis-
claimed any hostility to the law, averring
that It stands for the following:
First The individual employer carrying
his own risk, provided he can satisfy tbe
proper authorities that all payments that
may become due on account of Injuries to
bis workmen will surely be made.
Second—Insurance through mutual as-
sociations of employers.
Third—Insurance through n fund made
up of contributions from employers and
adi
administered by a State department.
Fourth Insurance through old line or
stock insurance companies.
The State Mutual proposing rates of 115
per cent less than the old Hue companies
are charging insisted that the luw was
created to give the Texas employers in-
surance at cost aud that the Commissioner

I Texas National Guard, convicted of the
killing of Louis Iteichlustein at Dallas and
sentenced to forty years lu the penlteu
tiarv. was among the Christmas pardons
grunted by the (loveruor. Today the
Governor when asked relative to these
rumors, stated they were absolutely with
out foundation, and furthermore he would
not tinder any circumstances grant Munley
a pardon. He thinks he has done enough
for Mauley In having the sentence reduced
about six months ago from forty to two
year?.
The Governor further stated that If the
friends of Mauley persisted in their ef
forts to obtain a pardon for Mauley he
would revoke the clemency already given
him.

of this block to a uniform width of sixty

Joseph ('ourand urged the St. Joseph's
Street plan, saying it would relieve much
of the traffic between South Alamo aud
East Commerce Street. C. W. Myers urged
the opening of Market Street through from
South Alamo to Lafltte at a total cost of
about *7ft.000. <«f which the city Is asked
to pay one-third. W. W. Herring, in a
businesslike way, told of Ihe advantages
that would accrue from the opening and
extension of East Houston Street through
to Starr Street.
"This project," he said, "will serve
practically the entire east half of the city,
it will open Houston Street to the ex
treme city limits on the east and will form
a direct connection with the county roads.

"This, too," lie said, "In one of the oldest
projects In the city. Along with North
rlores Street, it has -teen considered for
many years."
W. W helt* urged the administration
to enforce the construction of u snbwa.v

"This is a public necessity and would
do awuy wit It the opening of I his street
across the railroad tracks."
Alderman Oeorge W. Saunders declared
the South Hraxos Street project Is a public
necessity. I lie Kampinann advocated the
widening of Nacogdoches Street to a uni-
form wluth of fifty feet.
"One of the bcnefltH from this Improve
ment would be," he said, "the relieving of
street car traffic on the Beacon 11111 and
