GOOD LEGISLATION.
REPRESENTATIVE SWAYNETELLS
ABOUT SOME LAWS MADE.
4 Special Session VIII Probably be Called
in August to Pass an Apportionment
Bill-The Corporation Law.

Representative Swayne arrived in For
| Worth yesterday morning from the STATE
capital on a brief leave of absence. He j:
! in good health and good spirits. and feels
that the future OF Texas Is brighter thar
| ever. He says legislation adopted az thi:
session viii. us q whole, benefit Texas
/ when will the legislature adjourn 2;
u think il viii adjourn about the last Of
next week The farmers are getting rest
| less for they are needed at home and the
| house feels il is harder on them TO continue
+ the session than it is on any other class
How about the apportioument of the
! state into congressional. senatorial. repre-
/ sentative and judicial districts"
i don't think it fair 10 the members of the
! house who are needed Al home to require
! them 70 stay il Austin in regular session al
| this time 10 Go this work, which will re-
| Quire considerable time. There has been i
| revolution in politics in the last two Years.
! and many new measures OF great Importance
/ have required the attention of legislators
TO the exclusion of the appOrjionment
! measure, chief among which are the text
book bill, the commission bill and the cor
pOratiOn bill. besides the investment of the
school fund and other things of equal in
pOrtauCe. Every legislature IS required 10
spend considerable time in killing BAD laws.
and this one has been especially good for
that purpose. From what Governor Hogg
self ana the people OF the state, call an
extra session 10 consider apportionmeut,
which viii be. ! think. IN August"
What about the corporation bill?'
Il think We have 4 splendid cOrpCra-iOn
bill which has passed both houses with
some amendments by the house concurTed
in By the senate conference committee.
There is no doubt that this bill rs agreed
upon will become a law. l felt very much
gratitied when Speaker Miner compli-
mented Tarrunt county by selecting her
representative as chairman ofthis confer
euce committee on the part Of the house"
What does this bill PROVIDE"
For the incorporation Of wholesale
houses and many other important corpora
tons Tor Tarraut county"
How about the abstract BILL
1t will 80 into effect in a very short
time and viii greatly assist in settling land
titles InIdsrrant county. | know of but few
lt.eS tnut will not be protected b. this bin,
and | am surprised that anyone in Tlraut
county should have objected it. Ii judge
thurman had died without this law going
into effect the county would have been
damaged millions of dollars The bill is
not 10 make monopoly but TO regulate 4
monopoly which already exists and without
which Iarrant county would be in most
dep!oraole state"
bow about the uniform text book bill,r
1T has passed but will moi affect our city
schools until 4 wear from next September"
Who will be the railroad commissions
ers2"
Outside of Mr. Foster doubt if Cover
nor HOgg knows vet who he will appoint. e;
w hat counties viii Ialraut be with
in congressional district
Il cont know "" want TO get away
from Dallas, that's all.
In conclusion Nh. ewayne said be con-
SItnppt Joint resolution, n
