The Texas assignment law Is again the
subject OF n great deal OF adverse crit-
cism from nanufac .urers and Wholesalers
outside Of the State The main objection
is the fact that under the present law the
home creditors can be preferred and the
outsiders have to hustle to get their share
Of the next-to-nothlng that is generally
left outside jobbers contend that they
should be gwen an equal chance aud mat
there should really be no preferences what
ever. each creditor being allowed 10 take
his chances on the saine footing.
In discussing the matter today busi-
ness man OF Houston said: at !s doubt
less true that the present, Texas law could
be improved in some respects. but the
changes now suggested would not prevent
the downright robbery that has been tn
dulged IN by dishonest business men dur ng
the last year or so. The Eastern and
Northern manufacturers are do ng more
