Hutchins house. He came to Houston ON
private business after transacting which he
will return to his home In the new oil
metropolis TO a representative Of The
Pest, who saw him during the day, Mr..
Cooper said that his new congressional dis.
trict arranged by the law passed by the
special session of the legislature, was one
with which he was fairly well satisfied ana
one in which democracy would continue 10
prevail. He Is Of the opinion that there
Will be- more opposition TO the democrat tic
ticket in the new district than there has
been in the old one. but he does not be-
leve that sufficient strength 10 defeat

Congressman Cooper was a member of
the committee who went 10 Austin to rem.
resent the oil Interests OF Beaumont when
the tax bill WAS mp. He made n strong
presentation OF the claims of the oil prO.
dncers and was naturally gratlfed that the
bill did not become law. In discussing
the matter Yesterday he said he believed
that tax on the gross output Of a farm
would be MS just as equitable as the INK
