AUSTIN, Jan. lb.--ISpecial. Tho com
mittee ON lands to present resolution
to the legislature reported that, in the
opinion Of the committee, If the act of
the legislature fixing the lease price of
lands at 4 cents had been respected by
the land board, there would now he In
the treasury nearly $l,000,0o0 more than
ls now TO the credit of the freee SCHOOLS
Tor the 25,o0o,000 acres of
land Unbiased. These lands are Chiefly
IN unorBani3ed counties, Welding
ne revenue. The lands, at 4 cents
would have relieved that Oppressive
school tax. The report says the board
assumed the power to increase from to
3 ana ~ cents per acre; that the stock
men III tho organized counties ten
dered the first price; that where it was
rejected, they continued to use the
lands Tree, and the result of the acton
OF the land bosrd has been disastrous to
the school fund. OF the 25,000, 900 acres,
less than 100000 has been leased and
the report shows that at 8 cents per
acre vast area in the Pan Handle nayer
can be leased, being yalueless.
Inc commlttee express the belief that
the convention should convey to the
Legislature the assurance that the ma
Jority OF purchasers desire that the
school lands should yield reveaue; |;
that the land board is inadequate to
work. They say no tribunal should
be created by the legislature with
powers to change, suspend or
repeal laws; that IL the legislature
devise the means of restoring respect
for the land laws, or enact any other
fair law, tho school lands may pe leased
and pay vast sum within six months.

to pass u resolution requesting Texas
congressman to use their efforts to yet a
