promifto resolution by Mr. Caves was
adopted, -
The Caves substitute, nubnshed when
Introdnr'tl last week, condemns the tariff
act as ;i "prolific breeder and protector
of trusts and monopolies," and endorses
the entire Texas delegation in toe Na-
tional Congress "for voting against it."
The Maxwell resolution mentioned that
the Galveston convention failed to con-
demn the tariff, and handled that act
without gloves.
Mr. Maxwell accepted the temporizing
substitute for his resolution. lie re-
marked, in doing so, that he did not know
when lie attacked a Republican platform
that he was nt the same time attacking a
Democratic Vuitod States Senator. But,
he said, his original resolution was not
meant as a reflection on anyone, despite j
the fact that some newspaper criticisms ;
have imputed such a motive. He said ho 1
was not dealing in "the cheap sophistries j
ami subtleties of a ward politician, not j
seeking newspaper notoriety."
The substitute," be said, "accomplishes I
what 1 wanted to accomplish." He re- I
iterated that he differs with Senator |
Bailey politically.
Mr. IIHI congratulated Mr. Maxwell on
the position taken, lie said it was hardly {

Jailey. He said, further, that this whole
controversy might cause a wrong impres- !

that was "when Bailey pulled the scales
Off of his eyes."
The Dallas News has made the charge
that llailey has supported a protective
tariff. Mr. Hill declared, in the face of
the circumstance that every vote Bailey
has cast, according to the Speaker, has
been for the lowest tariff possible. He
said Bailey voted with a majority #f the
Senate on the raw material schedules, and
that Bailey stands on the Democratic
doctrine that thp Democracy of Texas put
him (Bailey) on. Bailey, he said, believes
that so long as there is a tax on a fin-
ished product there should *}e a tax on
the raw material for making that product,
and opposes discrimination as between the
two,
Mr Hill considered the substitute reso-
lution a liappy solution of the differences
between the Bailey and anti-Bailey con-
tingents in the House Such doctrine, he
said, bore the approval of John II. iteagan.

MEXICO IS CONGRATULATED
Concurrent Resolution Is Unanimously
Adopted in House.
Daily Kxpress Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex. Sept. 6.-Profound con-
gratulations are offered the Republic of
Mexico in anticipation of the one hun-
dredth anniversary of her independence
in a concurrent resolution unanimously
adopted by the Texas House of Repre-
sentative* today. The resolution was in-
troduced by Mr. Canales and is as fol-
lows:
"Whereas, Our neighbor Republic, the
United States of Mexico will celebrate
the Centennial of its Declaration of In-
dependence from the Spanish govern-
ment on the 15th and 16th of September
of this year; and
'Whereas, There exists a most cordial
and friendly relation between this great
Republic and its sister Republic, the
United States of America, as evidenced
by the fact that the Republic of Mexi-
co has given the Representative from
the United States of America, at said
Centennial the placo of honor, therefore,
' Ho it resolved by the House of Rep-
resentatives of the Thirty-first legisla-
ture of the State of Texas, the Senate
concurring, That the people of Texas
send to their brethren, the people of the
Republio of Mexico, their most cordial
greetings and sincere congratulations in
this the Centennial of their Declaration
of Independence, §ind also for the heroic
deeds achieved by ths Mexican patriots
under the leadership of that most noble
hero and patriot priest, Don Miguel
Hidalgo Costilla, one of the world's
greatest liberators, which deeds are
prominently written on the most inspir-
ing page of the history of national lib-
erty; and the people of Texas further
congratulate the people of Mexico for
the wonderful development and progress
they have achieved as a nation, ami for
the great success of their government,
as well as for their contribution to
science and civilization, and their lavish
charity bestowed upon our city of Gal-
veston when in distress In the year of
1900.
"Bo It further resolved That a copy of
this resolution signed by the Governor
of tho State, and duly attested by the
Secretary of State, under the groat seal
of the State, be sent by the Secretary of
State to the President of the United
States of Mexico.

it is fortunate that a man of so high
standing should be behind this movement,
yet Mr. Roosevelt is not the first to advo-
cate such measures. Some of tho great
minds of the country have been engaged
on this proposition' for a number of
years, and within the last few years
several of the Legislatures have taken the
question seriously in hand.
New York has recently enacted a law
by which employers and employes may
adopt a compensation plan, and thus
greaUy modify the old rule in liability
cases. The Wisconsin Legislature has
had a committee working on a measure
of this kind for a number of months, hav-
ing had public hearings at many places in
the State on the bill, and I now Hhve in
my possession a copy of the bill, which
will be introduced in the next Legis-
lature of that State. In many respects
it is an ideal bill on this subject, though,
of course, it will have to be modified
somewhat to meet conditions in our State.
In addition, I have a copy of the Netv
York law recently enacted, and a copy
of the bill providing for industrial insur-
ance which was introduced in the Illinois
Legislature some two or throe years ago.
The plan of the proposed system is to
insure to employes compensation, fixed
on the basis of a per cent of their earn-
ings. where such employes are injured in
the course of their duties, regardless of
the question of negligence except In cases
of gross and willful negligence; thus
placing the burden of compensation for
injuria* on the industry, the same to be
paid as a part of the running expenses
of the concern, and not leaving the bur-
den on the employe alone, as it. now is.
Just tho best method of reaching the
desired result, of course, Is in doubt;
some contending that a policy of indus-
trial insurance will be more desirable,
while others claim that a straight liability
act fixing a state of compensation would
be more desirable. It is my opinion that
a combination of the two plans may per-
haps be most effective and satisfactory
in our State
It Is my purpose to continue the study
of this problem, and to introduce at the
regular session of the Legislature bills
along these lines. I doubt whether the
public mind is educated to the point of
adopting such legislation in Texas at this
time, but there is no doubt in my mind
of the great need of such a law, and I
shall therefore urge it to the extent of
my ability. I make this statement at
this time so that those who are interested
in the matter may offer such suggestions
as they sea proper, ami so that tho public
mind may be turned t >wards this great
Question. Tho great aim of such legisla-
tion is to fix the law so that deserving
employes who are injured in the course
of their duty may receive compensation
when it ifl HlOit needed without tl'fl i;
terventlon of the middleman and without
the great cost and worry incident to do-
lays. Employers will also be reMeved
from the great burden of personal injury
litigation and in the long run will find
such a rule less expensive than tho pr<
out method. In addition the publi ■ and
the State may be relieved from tho great,
cost "f litigation that is now but en • g
our courts, for after all it is the people
who pay the costp.
It is my purpofee to prepare a full dis-
cussion of this subject in the near future,
which will be furnished to the public
press, together with copies of such laws
on tliis subject as I think most suitable
to meet the present conditions.

AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 6.-W. J. McDon-
ald, the State Revenue Agent, is again
on the trail of the circuses. He is busy
writing tax collectors all over the State
urging them to enforce strictly the occu-
pation tax statute on circus when the1
circuses reach l^exas this fall. He out-
lines to each of them the dates that the
respective circuses will be in their re-
spective communities, tells them of the
amount of occupation taxes that the cir-
cuses should pay, and urges that they
collect the proper amount. He also calls
attention to the fact that these circuses
have showed in their respective com-
munities In the past and warns them that
if they have failed to pay the proper oc-
cupation taxes on their previous per-
formances, that they should be made to
do so at this time.
Mr. McDonald also Informs the tax
collectors that if they need any as-
sistance In collecting the proper occu-
pation taxes he will be glad to aid
them in every way and will see to it
that the clrcuse« pay'the taxes that they
| should pay under the Texas statutes.
He is making a strong effort to get
tho co-operation of every tax collector
In the State in collecting the circus oc-
cupation taxes.

Penitentiary
Reform Bill 4s
In a Tangle
Continued from Page Ono.
It hack tomorrow .a Senate bill with
a Senate anioruiment which consists of
the original Somite Mil which tho Son-
ate passed ami the House refused. This
scorns, perhaps, to bo a parliamentary
absurdity; some members of the House I
say it is an outrage. I
The freo conference committee, of
course, was nonplussed. It knew not j
how to proceed, although some contend- j
c<i that the action of the Senate in
withdrawing its appointments could not
affect the legality of the committee's
functions and suggested that it proceed |
with its work.
(•tilers sought to consider the measure
unofficially and arrive at an adjustment
of differences, ratification to be given
the commit lee's work when again selected,
the presumntion being that the same com- I
mittee would he chosen. However, noth-
ing was done tonight. The committee will
meet at * o'clock tomorrow morning to
discuss the situation.
SIMILAR EPISODE.
A similar episode occurred during con- |
sideration of the Imnk guaranty bill in the i
second called session of this Legislature !
and the same rule was worked. The bill j
was sent to the House by the Senate as
House substitute for Senate bill No. 4
with amendments which constituted the
original Senate bill. The House declined
to concur in the amendments and asked
for a free conference committee, which
the Senate granted. But the vast differ-
ence between the two situations is that
the House did not rescind its action ap-
pointing the freo conference committee and
then consider the bill, us the Senate did
this afternoon. The Speaker laid the
bank guaranty bill before the House as
Senate amendment to the- House amend-
ments to Senate bill No. 4. In this in-
stance the Senate receded from its action
with respect to the appoiutment of a free
conference committee.
Many the Representative# contend
that tho Senate had no authority to do
this, It. has been asserted that the ap-
pointment of a free conference committee
on the part of each house Is a Joint action
of tho legislature after both houses are
agreed and that neither of them can
repudiate it any more than it can recede
from its adoption on a sine die adjourn
ment resolution which has been sent to
it by the other branch.
Moreover, tho journal of the Semite does
not show that a point of order was raised(
Against the procedure which the Senate
took originally with respect to the bill.
Senator Harper imparted information of
the rule to the Ueutenant Governor and
the Senators, still at ease, apparently
agreed to rescind tke action previously
made. The merit of a point of order
against the bill, raised under this rule,
is also questioned by members of tlie
House. The parliamentary process by
which the House bill was attached to the
Senate bill was the process of amendment,
not of formal substitution, although it
was in theory a substitution, because one
bill was substituted for the other. Again
the rule previously quoted recites that the
hill shall be treated as a new bill received
from tho House if the effect of the amend-
ment makes it a substitute.
NOT FREE FROM SUSPICION.
There are but three or four important
differences between the two bills. When
drawn they were orignally the snine. The
amendments of neither house are funda
mental, and consequently do not change
the purport jjor jbe purview of the bill.
Consequently, sortie of the House members
contend that the pro pet procedure, after
the Senate had already appointed its com-
mittee. would have been to raise a point
of order under the Senate rule referred
to Then the proper ruling would have
been to overrule th* point of order, inas-
much as the amendments to tho bill as
made by the House have not organically
changed the original Senate bill. More-
over, some hold the Senate could not re-
cede from the appointment of the free
conference committee after it had notified
the House and tin* lower branch had
acquiesced in the request.
Tne situation is not altogether free of
suspicion. Tho bill heretofore has seemed
on the verge of passage. Differences po-
litical and financial appeared to have
been adjusted These were all that
menaced the measure's future until the
cropping out of this allegged inhibition
in tlie Senate rule to the immediate ac-
tion on a conference committee. Promi-
nent opponents of the bill are smiling.
Perhaps They hope to disgruntle the pro-
ponents to the extent of defeating them.
In this they will doubtless fail, as those
who are supporting the bill are earnestly
its advocates and not in any wise pander-
ing to political considerations nor success-
ful politicians.
The measure has met numerous rebuffs
and delays. Today when the House sent
i1s bill to the Senate it met an obstacle.

It was in such shape that its considera-
tion by the Senate would have been diffi-
cult and tho Lieutenant Governor de-
clined to accept it until the amendments
had been placed in the bill in a less eon-
fused manner. The House recessed about
four hours to allow this to be done.
Advocates of the bill will not allow it
to fail of passage for want of proper at-
tention, even though it would appear that
its security has not yet been determined.
There is an all-pervading fear that if a
bill be not enacted at this session peni-
tentiary reform will be stifled for years
to come.
