Summary of Governor'* Message.
Governor Colquitt in his message to
the legislature reconimends changes in
the penitentiary system as follows:
Share farming is not desirable; the
penitentiary commissioners should be
given authority to lease land.
The requirement for fireproof pris-
ons is not practical and should be
stricken out.
The transportation of convicts
should be exclusively under the juris-
diction of the penitentiary commis-
sion.
Commissioners should be given dis-
cretion in the operation of the various
classes of convicts; classification
should be made thoroughly, but not
hurriedly.
There is doubt as to the wisdom of
the provision for paying convicts ten
cents a day, practically amounting to
a pension.
The provision covering inquests and
shipments of bodies of dead convicts
should be amended to provide for ordi-
nary Inquests and shipment of bodies
only where expenses are paid by the
parties requesting it.
The provision giving a convict or
ex-convict the right to testify should
be repealed, as it is unwise.
The parole law should be reenacted.
The present legislature must care
for a deficiency of $258,688 in the pen-
itentiary fund and an increased cost in
operation of $298,750 under the terms
of the new law.
Texas Senate Proceedings.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 28.—After the sen-
ate passed the quart bill and bill prohib-
iting drinking on premises where sold,
it refused to take up the tyw prohibit-
ing liquor dealers contributing to cam-
paign funds. The motion made by Mr.
Cofer received 16 to 12 votes, but fail-
ed of reaching the necessary two-
thirds^) su%>end the rules.
Thrill by Messrs. McNealus, Cofer
and Maylleld to prohibit the employ-
ment of persons under 16 in mills, fac-
tories, stores, establishments where
machinery is used, etc., and prohibit-
ing the employment of persons under
18 at night was taken up.
Mr. Collii^offered an amendment
to make the^rohibition apply to chil-
dren in theatrical and vaudeville per-
formances.
Mr. Watson offered a substitute to
strike out from the bill the prohibition
as to workshops, mercantile, mechan-
ical or manufacturing establishments,
stores, business offices, telegraph offi-
ces hotel or apartment houses, and to
add houses of prostitution.
Mr, Sturgeon supported the amend-
ment. Mr. McNealus opposed it, mak-
ing a lengthy speech from the middle
i aisle telling of the shame of -child la-
bor, the evils thereof and the necessity
! for prohibiting it.
| Mr. Collins withdrew his original
1 amendment. The Watson substitute
was offered as an amendment, and Mr.
| Collins offered a substitute restricting
| the bill to mills, factories, mines, quar-
| ries, distilleries, breweries and estab-
lishments using machinery. Speaking
| to the amendment he declared against
those people who work children be-
j cause they want cheap labor,
j Mr. Hume declared that the bill went
too far, and the further it went the
worse it got. He objected to this impu-
tation that the lathers of Texas were
incompetent to look after their chil-
dren. Declaring that he was in favor
of rational legislation upon the subject
he called attention to the inconsistency
of the authors in omitting newsboys
from the provisions of the bill. Saying
the bill was socialistic and anarchistic,
he exclaimed
"I have gotten sick and tired of
hearing every day that nobody is
worth a ——
Mr. Meaehum thought too much
was being cut out of the bill by the
-proposed' amendments.
Me. Murray opposed the measure as
extreme,, saying it would prevent a
man from working his own child.
Mr. Adams opposed it, "saying it
would breed idleness and set up devil's
workshops.
Mr. Astin declared that he was op-
posed to legislation denying to boys
and -girls an opportunity to' earn an
hones) living.. Saying the bill was pa-
ternalistic. -he charged Mr. McNealus
with Insincerity in that farmers and
others were omitted.
The Collins amendment was substi-
tuted for that of Watson and became
the pending amendment.
Mr. Vaughan offered a substitute
limiting the application of the bill to
places where there is machinery dan-
gerous to life or limb or health, and
where morals may be corrupted, and
mines, quarries, distilleries and brew-
eries
This was substituted for the Collins
amendment and .became the pending
amendment..
Sehator Hume offered a substitute
embodying the present child labor law,
but raising the age from 12 to 15 years
This was tabled. 12 to 13, leaving the
Vaughan amendment pending when
the senate adjourned.
Bills in Texas Senate.
Austin, Tex.—Senate bills offered;
By Messrs. Vaughan and Watson—
Prohibiting Introduction of evidence
divulging what may have been testi-
fied to before the grand jury.
In the Texas House.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 18.—After having
debated practically all day on the uni-
versity and A. and M. special tax bill,
the house recessed for a while.
A substitute, measure by Mr. Caves
is now before the body, proposing a
special levy of 4c. Of this, the univer-
sity fund is to receive 2.4c and the A.
and M. 1.55c.
The speeches upos both sides of the
questions have been earnest and able.
Excepting the former occasion, when
this bill was up for consideration and
was postponed so that members might
study the proposition more fully, it
may be said to be the first time this
session that the house has settled'} Tax Collector Kills
down with an apparent intention of
thrashing out the problem thoroughly j
and considering it properly before kill-
ing or passing it. Originally the house ;
is disposed to take quick judgment, j
sometimes to the extent almost of try- \
ing to see how many bills It can act i
upon in one day. But on educational j
matters at least, It Is maintained a de- ;
kslre to proceed with more deliberation.
The Constitution Quoted.
The contentions pro and con on this
bill have been largely upon Its consti-
tutionality or unconstitutionality. The
constitution has been quoted profusely,
and each side maintains that it finds
grounds therein for a definite deter
mination of the question as it sees it.
Mr. Bag-by entered into an exhaust-
ive speech upon the unconstitutional-
ity of the bill, his leading argument
being tbAt the special tax proposed
would ccBatltute, by the terms of the
bill, an Appropriation—an appropria-
tion for more than two years. Such
an appropriatioa|can not be made con-
stitutionally. j^ln the other hand, the
proponentskiflRe bill deny that.*the
tax would ft Wn appropriation of any
kind. n „ -jfr
It was J^ucd bf'We&sra. Stamps
and Rogers that, the%iwc would be a
"burden upon the people."
Messrs. Robertson of Travis and
Nickles of Hill, who sptke eloquently
for the advancement of higher educa-
tion, ridiculed the "burden" plea. Judge
Robertson asserting that a man unwill-
ing to bear such a "burden" for such
a cause was unfit to live in Texas.
Deny Political Issue.
Messrs. Robertson and Nickles de-
cried the penurious policy of the state
with regard to its educational institu-
tions. By questions asked by Mr.
Byrne and others during Judge Rob-
ertson's speech it was intimated that
a political issue lurked beneath this
matter, and that this bill was design-
ed to further raise the tax rate.
Before taking up the educational
tax bill the house engrossed Mr. Mr-
Gown's bill creating Culberson Coun-
ty out of the eastern part of El Paso
County, and Mr. German's bill apply-
ing the eight-hour law to state con- ,
structlon work, after amendments by
Mr. Williams of Dallas had been adopt
ed, exempting convicts, road work
when done by contract, and watchmen.
Conference Committee.
Austin, Tex.—Speaker Rayburn ap-
pointed Messrs. Nickles of Hill, Kenne-
dy, Hill, Tarver and Rogers as con
ferees on the part of the house on the
senate resolution inviting Governor
Harmon to address the legislature, It
is probable that, the house conferees
will report recommending that the
house recede from its amendment
.which struck out a clause recognizing
Harmon as the leader of the "militant
democracy." If so, the fight will take
place on the floor of the house.
The Wolf scalp bill has been sent to
conference, because the house object-
ed to the scenate amendment prohibit-
ing hunting on inclosed lands without
consent of the owners of same. The
senate conferees are Messrs. Huds-
peth, Adams, Johnson, Watson and
Willacy. The house conferees are
Messrs. Humphrey, Lee, Hamilton of
Childress, Singleton and Turney.
The senate elected as conferees on
the bill authorizing the incoporation
of cotton picking machine companies
Messrs. Sturgeon, Vaughan, Meaehum,
Ward and Peeler.
