From The Austin Statesman:
TAX EXEMPTION AMEND-
MENT BEEN PROPOSED.
TOXraOC^OQMPAMES
LAW SUIT.
That the new contracts for
textbooks made on behalf of the
State are binding and will be
contested for as such by text-
book companies affected, was
the contention made by repre-
sentatives of the latter late
Monday before the Senate com-
mittee on educational affairs.
This committee conducted a
hearing on the Pope bill, already
passed by the House, providing
for the extension for three years
from December 1, 1922, of the
then existing contracts for text-
books. It is contended by the
book companies that the various
contracts recently awarded by
the textbook commission were
awarded legally, that the con-
tracts and bonds incident there-
to were drawn up by the attor-
ney general and that the Gov-
ernor acted upon proper author-
ity from the commission and
has signed the contracts which
it is claimed, are therefore bind-
ing obligations for the State.
When questioned as to the le-
gal authority of the Governor
to act for the commission in ap-
proving the form of contract
and bonds, it was pointed out
that such act on the part of the
Governor was ministerial and
not discretionary and came upon
authority from the State text-
book commission and is in com-
pliance with the law. In re-
sponse to queries as to the eli-
gibility of certain members of
the commission, it was contend-
ed that the legal provisions wen*
complied with.
Enactment of the Pope bill, it
was contended, will place the
State in the awkward position
of having two valid and existing
sets of contracts for textbooks
on the same subject. The pub-
lishers securing the new con-
tracts, it was stated, would en-
force their legal rights through
the courts, if necessary, the re-
sult being that the State would
be compelled to pay for two sets
o' textbooks, one not needed.
The Senate educational com-
mittee adjourned after the hear-
ing without taking any action.

commission, he relinquished his
privilege and nominated Mr.
Gilmore for the chairmanship.
“Since the law provides that
a chairman of the commission
shall be selected,” the senator-
elect declared in a statement,
“and such is necessary in order
to conduct the business of the
commission in an expeditious
manner, upon my motion Com-
missioner Gilmore has been duly
elected chairman of the railroad
commission of Texas today.
“The rule of seniority has al-
ways been respected on the com-
mission and my associate, Com-
missioner Gilmore, has insisted
that I accept the chairmanship;
but, since 1 am to leave the com-
mission within a few weeks, I
feel that Commissioner Gilmore
should be elected chairman and
have insisted ujkiii his election.

A proposed amendment to the
constitution exempting from tax
ation for a period of ten years,
all property used in the manu-
facture of cotton, woolen, wors-
ted, leather or silk goods, has
been introduced in the House
by Representatives Carpenter
and Irwin of Dallas County. The
proposed amendment was re-
ferred to the House Committee
on constitutional amendments.

I Recess appointees of Govern-

j Urination by the Senate at the

nominations.
In the event of the adoption
of the amendment, tax exemp-
tion is to commence on January
1, 1924, and continue for a pe-
riod of ten years. After that
time the amendment limits the
tax that may be levied against
such cotton, woolen and silk
manufacturing plants to 15cts.
on the $100 property valuation.
During the ten-year period all
such factories shall also be ex-
empt from all other classes of
taxation except such as may be
levied for the benefit of the pub-
lic schools of the State. The
amendment, should it be adopted
is to be submitted to a vote of

The central penitentiary plant
would be located in Brazoria
and Fort Bend counties, where
the State owns four farms. Pro-
vision for centralization also is
made in the bill:
The Senate passed finally a
Senate bill making the bonds-

BILL CONCENTRATING
PENITENTIARY SYSTEM
A bill designed to carry out
1 Governor Neff’s program for
J. M. Pitillo ofWaco,member
| of the State Industrial Accident
Hoard, was one appointee who
was called before this commit-
tee. He presented a letter from
the secretary of the Waco klan
accepting his resignation last
July, one year after he joined.
Judge S. H. German, of the
commission of appeals, told the
committee that he had gotten
out of the klan several months
ago. He was recently appointed
by Governor Neff to succeed
Judge French Spencer. Judge
German’s home is at Livingston.
It is generally accepted that
the Senate at its executive ses-
sion will refuse to confirm the
appointment of live members of
the State textbook commission.
However, this failure to confirm
lats no more allect than a pro-
test, as the commission has al-
ready served its term and com-
pleted its duties.

i itentary system on the state
farms in east Texas as recom-l
mended by the chief excutivej

troduced in the senate today by I

The bill was referred to com-j

The proposals under the Cou-
sins bill in short are as follows:
