Austin Texas January The Ward
election bill 1 one of tbe features of the
prospective legislation which the Twenty
fifth legislature baa In Iliad id cue
lne considerable interest The measure has
been printed and covers tblrtytwo paeis
of thirtytwo lines each It give evidences
of many days of careful study of tbe qoes
tlon and li almost complete
One feature of the bill is allowing tbe
commissioners court to divide tbe Justice
precincts or city wards Into as many to1
lns precincts as they mar consider neces-
sary but counting would be faser and
there would be less confusion if this were
made compulsory At tbe recent election
there were wards In Dallas and other large
dtie which polled lucb a heavy Tple that
the count was not csri for nocral
days alteMie election
If tbe commissioners were made to ar-
range tech roUng preeisct so that ao more
tnan SOD rotes would be cast at any oaf
polling place the delay la knowing tbe re-
sult would be done s ay with and there
would be no more err of fraud on account
of holdout returns
Tbo bill l vivry specific in declaring that
the same name shall not apwar on tbe
ballot under the heading of more than one
jiolitlcal rrtj whlth will preTeat the roter
being misled
The BUST of Indicating tie candidate
roted for is imperatively made to b bv a-
cross mark at tbe bead of the ballot or in
a blank spate before each name The fojn
er custom of scratChing a name Invali-
dates the ballot However the privilege
of writing in a came is sill allowed
The bill presides that lb offlrlal ballot
fchsil > jrvrared at least fifteen oars prt
iou to the rJectiotn and no proviso Is
made for the sJbstituUon of a name should
c candidate die go insane or otber e be
jie ented from being voted for at the elec-
tion in the interim of fifteen Says
Tbe bill furthe sats tbe i cke s of the

Austin Texas January 21 If Ueubells
bill amtndlng the Sunday law which
passed to engrossment In the house this
morning becomes a law Sunday football
playing and hunting will be Indulged In at
the risk of being called upon to pay a lino
of 1100 In the future The majority by
which said bill reached Its present status
was very small however and Its opponents
seem confldent of being able to defeat It on
final passage At all events It will never
pass the senate they say
A gentleman who has not fared as well
as ho thinks he should have dono excited
some pity In the house this morning by
giving tent to his feelings In the matter
while speaking anent the Ueubell bill Ho
complained of having been snubbed In tho
organisation of the house and undertook
to band words with the speaker on a
trivial subject The episode attrectol at-
tention for a brief moment but what
threatened tobccome a rather disagreeable
incident > aiscd off quletl enough and
nothing has come of It to date
Probably the most Important measure
submitted in tho house toda was 11 joint
resolution providing for a constitutional
amendment to remove the constitutional
bar to tho Incorporation of Stite banks
In tho sennto sentiment was laid mde
and tbo proposed approprlaton of SCrtii
for the relief of tbe lluckner Orphans
home wa3 defeated on constitutional
rounds
Three Important bills one t Senitor
Dlbrell and two by Smator Turue wire
Introduced Mr Dibnll proposes to deal a
fatal buvv to fldver e clilm i ets ho
make a spcclilty of hunting up musty evi-
dence uiou which to listurh nnd titles by
providing that ten irs adverse posses-
sion and pa uent of taxes bhall quiet title
Mr Turniy desires a statute providing
for tho forfeiture of dellnquen Hn 1 salei
without Judicial ascertalnrrnt aiil also
a statute validating office forfeituies lioe
tofore made under adv lee from the attorney
generals department The passige of lhe o
measure Is nbsolutel nceessan to tho
clearing up of tho delinquent Hud accounts
now In the State treasuters books of
which there are about 12 000 To dispone of
them by the court route would iicccstltalo
12 000 sulLs which would cost tho Stato
5120 000
In tho matter of Ian 1 eglslatlon the
temper ot tho present legislature seems to
be to validate all past land Iraniictlons and
Hart out on a new deal to enable the bito
tn sell out of tho land business os fait as
poslble and at prices at which there Is a
reasonable showing for tho puicraser to
pay out so ab to get the much boasted o
and exceedingly overrated acreage ap-
propriated to the schools ami other Institu-
tions off tho list of forfeitures an 1 on to the
tax rolls
As to the fees of county and district of
llcers several bills proposing to regulate
same hive been lntroduecd and are now
lu the hands of committees
The general feeling is tint some reform
Is needed in thit direction but the Indlei
tlons are that the subject will bo np
priwchtd In a conservative manner
There urn several measures of Interest
to the laboring classes which are almost
Hire of passage notabl the fillow ser-
vant bill and the bill to protert work
Inguien in theh organizations nnd the pur-
poses thereof These bills have the backing
of the governor
