House and Senate make it possi-
ble for the solons to go either
route. A comprehensive omnibus
tax bill by a large group of House
anti-sales faxere proposes levies
on about 30 commodities, some
[Uf them sales taxes in form, but
not of a general sales tax nature.
In the Senate, revival of the sales
tax resolution, which was passed
to engrossment with 21 votes,
enough to insure its final passage,
was regarded as a political pre-
cautionary move, which would
leave the Senate with a chance
to clear ita political skirts in case
the House produces no tax legis-
lation. There was considerable
doubt whether any constitutional
amendment, or any sales tax levy,
would ever get through the House,
but both houses have reversed
themselves so unpreddctably on
the tax question that the shrewd-
est of observers of legislative
trends were extremely wary about
committing themselves on pre-
dictions.
Gov. O’Daniel, apparently learn-
ing a lesson from the extremely
bad reaction his “fighting” talk
aroused in both houses two Sun-
days ago, didn’t mention the leg-
islature or the tax question in his
Easter Sunday broadcast, but
stuck to a “sweetness and light”
program of hymns, poems and
banjo harmony.
West Seems Sunk
Close observers here this week
were speculating on who Gov.
O’Daniel’s next nomination for
Highway Commission chairman
might be, with Mrs. Oveta Culp
Hobby, wife of the former gov-
ernor, of Houston, frequently
mentioned. Insiders declared that
James M. West, the Houston mul-
ti-millionaire oilman, would fail of
confirmation, if a vote is taken.
Many believed he would with-
draw, in the face of bitter oppo-
sition aroused by his wealth, his
activity in behalf of Republican
candidate Alf Lamdon, and the
enmity which has grown out of
the battle on the Texas Teen
Board of regents over election of
a president for that institution.
West is a member of the Tech
board. Although West’s name was
favorably regarded at first, re-
velation of his political activity
has aroused bitter resentment
among many Senators, and his
opponents claim sufficient votes
to block confirmation.
Insurance Gyp Curbed
The legislature this week armed
the Department of Insurance
with a weapon which it has sought
for years, to end one of the most
scandalous abuses in Texas, when
it passed a bill tightening regula-
tion of mutual assessment insur-
ance companies, burial societies
and similar insurance groups. The
bill permits the department to
name a conservator and take
charge of the affairs of such or-
ganizations when they fail to
“pay off.” Many ho<nestly manag-
ed mutuals and burial clubs have
given protection to a large'num-
ber of Texqns. but a few crooked
<!^P|(itors have for years practiced
a “racket” under which thousands
of poor Texans, both negroes and
whites, have been “milked” of
thousands of dollars for worthless
"life insurance.” The bill under-
went two days of bitter debate in
the House, but finally went over
123 to 3.
Oil Proration Row Rages
Who wrote the proration order
that drastically shut down pro-
duction in West and South Texas,
hiked Blast Texas allowable, and
abolished Sunday shutdowns? This
question was being asked in Aus-
tin this week end, in the wake of
the bitter row which broke after
the order,' signed by Railroad
Commissioners Lorn Smith and
Jerry Sadler, brought hundreds
of protesting oilmen, bankers and
bMiatiyp men to Austin to P»*»*
Descending upon the “magic city” In the middle of San Francisco Bay,’gleaming white In the
sunlight and glowing in warm, pastel shades of glamorous color at night, crowds broke all attend-
ance records for Expositions in early days on Treasure Island. Here hundreds of autos roll smoothly
through the entrance gates while a ferry boat (upper left) leaves the slip after carrying thousands
from San Francisco to the World’s Fair.
test. The order was not written
in the Capital, but in a downtown
hotel, and was brought to the
Railroad, Gofnau-ssion, signed and
tssue’d, Without Commissioner
Ernest Thompson, admittedly the
best posted maij otj proration in
Texas, ever having seen or signed
it. Later, Sadler and Smith weak-
ening under the terrific storm of
protests, issued supplemental or-
ders restoring about two-thirds of
the cuts in the original order, but
they did not satisfy Oilman Jim
Ambercrontbie of Houston, who
obtained a temporary.-injunction
from Houston Federal Court, re-
straining enforcement of the or-
der in certain South Texas fields.
Abercrombie!# lawyers contended
there was not a scintilla of evi-
dence in.-the record- at the last
proration hearing to support the
order.
Lawyers Will Govern Selves
Climaxing a six year fight, the
legislature finally passed a self-
governing bar bill, under which
attorneys of Texas will govern
themselves. The bill permits the
Supreme Court to formulate rules
of practice, charges a $4 annual
fee to each attorney, provides a
method for initiative of rule
changes by 10 per cent of the
bar, and provides no lawyer may
be disbarred without a court trial
in his home county. The attorneys
contend the law will raise the
standards, and permit elimination
of crooks and shysters. The bill
has gone to Gov. O’Daniel for
signature.
Senate Goes Silly
A new high in silly legislation
was reached when the dignified
Senate, virtually without debate,
passed a legal monstrosity spon-
sored by FYanklin Spears, of San
Antonio, permitting barbers to
“get together” and fix the prices
of haircuts and shaves, by a pop-
ular vote—amqn& 1 the barbers.
Amendment^' £bgged the price of
a haircut at 40 cents. Every law-
yer in the Senate, except Spears,
questioned the constitutionality
of the bill, but the barbers vote
and talk to lots of voting custo-
mers, and they brought a strong
lobby to Austin when the bill was
in committee. The first court test
is expected to knock the price-
fixing haircut law for a loop on
constitutional grounds.
Drive On Loan Shark*
A big boost for the pending
bill to regulate loan sharks came
when County Attorney Paul Holt,
of Austin, joined by Attorney
General Jerry Mann, obtained an
injunction under the nuisance
statute against 19 loan brokers,
which practically tied them in a
legal knot. Mann announced the
drive would be taken into other
large cities, where the loan brok-
ers charging exorbitant interest
rates, have been doing a thriving
business. The pending law permits
legitimate loan companies to
charge service fees in excess of
the present legal 10 per cent in-
terest rate, but prevents exorbi-
tant charges on small loans.
Bride’s House On View
At New York Hotel
"V >' ■
|\/t ORE alive with color and freer in design than ever before, House
i-VJ. Beautiful’s sixth annual Bride’s House is open to d . public ar
the Savoy-Plaza Hotel in New York.
This year the bride’s House is made up of five separate houses (34
rooms in all) ranging in size from two to six rooms, excluding kitchen
and bathroom. All five bouses take inspiration from the various periods,
although the eighteenth century pervades more generally than any other.
This being a year of color—tangerine, dramatic greens, blues, bril-
liant golds and reds predominate, blazing their way through the entire
house. Basic in the decorating scheme is that color be made to flow from
room to room, fusing them all into an harmonious whole. Thus, the gray
damask curtains in the mirror room of one of the houses (the Devon)
paves the way for the gray walls of the room beyond; or the trace of
chartreuse in the piano chair’s satin seat finds its counterpart in the
carpet of the living room.
qpt
The Kentwood Living Room of the ’diride’s House”
Among the many decorating innovations, the most daring is that of
using color schemes in five of the rooms as backgrounds for five distinct
feminine types: blonde, chestnut, brunette, titian and silver gray. There
are hostesses In these rooms to illustrate the striking color affinity pos-
sible with proper make-up.
The five houses, in order of size, are called the KENTWOOD (6
rooms): yellow damask living room, gold striped dining room, blue striped
bedroom, man’s bedroom, green library and guest room; the DEVON (5
rooms): mirror room, gray living room, dining room, camellia bedroom
and study; the PENNFIELD (8 rooms): modern living room, white din-
ing room and peasant bedroom; the BEDFORD (2V6 rooms)! modern
living-dining room and canopied bedroom; the SHERWOOD (2 rooms):
blue living room and bedroom. }
Miriam Thompson, talented, young American decorator, planned the'
Bride’s House, lending all her efforts to the living, dining and bedrooms,
while other experts decorated the kitchens and bathrooms. Miss Thomp-
son borrowed a pattern from her own life and supplied the house with
yonthfulness and freshness and a perpetual radiance—qualities every
young couple starting house-keeping together look for in their first home.
The Bride’s House, cooled by an air-conditioning system, will remain
