Austin, Texas, May 8.—Progress to-
ward completing the legislative work
now under consideration was slow
during the past week of the special
session and the opening of the last
week o{ the 30-day period finds the
calendar crowded with more than 200
bills, including some of the-most im-
portant that have been submitted.
Probably the outstanding act of the
past week was the killing of the Pat-
treson quo warranto bill, one of Gov-
1 ernor Neff’s favorite measures. The
bill was sent to the legislative morgue
when the Senate adopted an adverse
majority committee report by a vote
of 9 to 11, with four pairs.
The past week has witnessed sev-
eral other measures of primary im-
portance killed before the legislative
‘ machine. The House .killed the bill
which sought to place a 60 per cent
tax on sale or. lease of pistols; the
Harris bill seeking to limit expendi-
tures on textbooks, and the Smith
state warrant bill. In addition to the
quo warranto bill, the Senate killed
hte Holbrook-Wirtz bill seeking to per-
mit nomination of judges by conven-
tion.
In the other hand, several measures
of considerable note have, succeeded

In passing the two houses during the
week. The Senate opened the week
by passing the eleemosynary appropri-
ation bill and departmental .hill. It also
passed the Burkett bill creatnlg the
Eleventh Court of Civil Appeals, the
Rogers tnotor vehicle common carriers
bill and the Thomas hill authorizing
cities to collect poll tax from women.
The House placed on final passage
the following measures': Stroder bill,
making carrying arms while Intoxicat-
ed a felony; Henderson (Marlon) $6,-
000,000 emergency school aid fund,
and Pope bill extending textbook con-
tracts In force last December.
Textbooks came In for another in-
ning when the joint legislative Inves-
tigation committee filed its report
holding that the contracts let last De-
cember were illegally made and rec-
ommending that state officials not rec-
ognize the contracts and that the at
torney general take steps to invaldiate
them.
The present weeek finds the session
confronted with a crowded calendar
and many highly Important measures.
Members expressed little hope of com-
pleting the work before next Tuesday,
while othres declare the major Issues
will be disposed of and a third ses-
sion thus avoided. Overtime work will
be reported tejn both houses in an ef-
fort to dispose of the outstanding
bills.

REPLY TO GERMANY
By Associated Press
London, May 8.—Chancellor of the
Exchequer Stanley Baldwin, stated to
the House of Commons today, that the
government rgeretted the precipitancy
of the Franco-Belgion reply to the Ger-
man reparations note, and proposed to
state its own view in a separate reply
with the least possible delay. He ad-
ded that he had reason to believe that
Italy was In accord with the British
and contemplated similar procedure.
Paris, May 8.—That France’s most
recent note is equivalent to an invita-
tion to Germany to make a serious
proposition, is the interpretation put
upon the communication In French of-
ficial circles. France, herself concili-
atory it is now declared. “She Is look-
ing out o'f the window watching and
waiting,” is the way her position is
indicated in these quarters. Germany,
it is pointed out, has now had the
faults of her last proposals shown to
her, she realizing that she Is not to
obtain the many advantages she had
hoped to gain through the proposals.

tive Homer Hendricks of Waxahachle,

from other states show large benefits
from such a survey. Among the re-
ports are. the following: Illinois re-

vey would be completed by January,
