4 -uotion by Mckinney that the house
eIuest @ free conferences COMMITTEES was |
carried.
Foster, of Limestone, for tho special |
committee, repori ed that the error III the |
enrolment OF the bill of the last session re. |
iative to qualifications required for super |
Iutendent OF the lunatic asylum was simply |
a clerical mistake, without any improper |
influence being used.
After the report Of the committee OF free
conference by UPTON, rs stated, was made,
Thompson, of Bexar, p'''-ed that the re-
port of the commir adopted.
The motion lead considerable discus
sion, which was Participated in by Foster,
of Limestone, Thompson, OF Bexar, Jones, |
Scott, Browning, Swan, Wurzbach, Hill,
Pend eton and again by Upton as the su.
thor of the report.
The report was signed only by Upton
ami Cayen.
Foster, OF Grayson. as chairman OF the |
committee, explained his reasons for not
signing the report. Foster said he had not |
made a special report out OF Difference to
the committee. He considered some OF the |
changes proposed as not german to the
question and unnecessarily changing the
settled policy of the state. He did not agree
in the idea of the deposit OF III cents per
acre relieving party from the penalty. lie
had voted all the time for making fence.
cutting a felony as the only remedy for the
existing evils, but the bill was wrong in
DE ermitting one man virtually to make hin-
selfthe lessee ofanother withoutproper CON
sent. While not disposed 10 make such acts
telonies, hs desired such penalties imposed
as would stay such practices. The bill, he
argued, would rather augment than pre-
yent lence.cuttng. The remedy for unlaw.
ful enclosure was, he thought, however, ex-
cessiye, and the law, he imagined, would |
be regarded unconstitutional. Under the
committees bill parties Owning large bojles
OF land would pay the 10 cents per acre 20
keep up large enclosures; so he wanted the
parties aggrieved 10 have recourse to the
courts for ten cents and as much more as
Further than CAis, Le said, ne wanted the
senate bill to be considered on its merits.
Upton explained hat as he understood 1t
the main features of the house bill we're
contsined in this bill, with one alteration,
which was covered in the caption. The
bin simply exempted parties in certain
cases Without affecting other remedies OF
, arties who we're aggrieved. 1t didn'J Of
feet the right OF individual enclosures ex'
ceeding two hundred acres. Section five was
the fret bone Of contention as 10 avoiding
the penalty Of enclosing the school and
university lands, there were three condl-
tions which he named. The legislature, he
he should not build q fence en-
his own land, because he could not make
satisfactory arrangements With other par
ties. who might be even miners, three
years old, ana under penalties tnat would
bankrupt any man. He hoped the mouse
would agree with the committee on this, II
no other matter. As to herding cattle on
the school and university lands, there was,
il he mistook not, already statute requlr-
ing parties enclosing them to pay $50 per
section, If so, this bill is not radical de-
parture from legislation on that subject,
He didn't want to concur in part OF the
senate amendments. The time for legisla-
tiop, however, was short and the bill as
compromise was as fair a solution OF
the question as practicable, and he
hoped the house would adopt the report.
Foster of Limestone, argued that 1t
would be better to have no legislation at al
than TO accept this bill. We had bill for
proper ingress and egress to enclosed lands.
