STATE TREASURER'S REPORT.
Mr.. Robbins Has Completed His
EIGHTH and Last to Governor.

-'b'N'' N''N e-act ~ NNNNNfH1is
Austin, Tex. State Treasurer Rob.
bins Wednesday completed his eighth
and last annual report to the COVER
nor, as he will vacate the office this
coming January in favor of Sam
Sparks. Mr.. Robbins will have served
four complete terms, and did not
again aspire to the place, he having
been honored with reelection as long
as any predecessor. The usual stats,
tical tables are contained in these
reports of the treasurer, though the
credits to the various funds are given
as for Aug. 81, same having been pre-
wlously published in these columns.
BY next January MI Robbins will
have served eight years, but since
his incumbency the cash receipts in
the treasury have totaled SOS, 747,-
777.2S and the disbursements amount
ed to $6S,747, 7772S, less 1888, 64S.6s
cash balance on hand on Aug. 81 last
The total receipts and disbursements
make transactions amount to $780,
S3S,94S.95.
The total resources OF the state
treasury on August 81 amounted to
the immense sum of s51, GSS,3S594, di-
vided into the following items: Cash,
$1,377, 64S.6S; bonds. $13,S93, 708.04;
school land acres leased at an arbi-
trary minimum value OF 81 per acre,
S,63S,335.94 acres, making the first
given.
The permanent school fund is in a
healthy condition, and its holdings
represent nearly all of the resources
in the treasury. 1t has an uninvested
cash surplus of $945,S11.71; owns
bonds valued at $4,000 50.54; pur-
chase school land notes of value of
$27 ,4S4,77O.42 and 6,766.551 acres of
leased land valued at at least 81 per
acre, a grand total of $47,S53, 1926. 1t
will be noticed that the school fund
has nearly $1,O00,OO0 Of cash on hand
to be invested in bonds of counties,
cities and independent school dis
tricts, but few are being Offered. Thus
the money remains idle and draws no
interest for the available school fund
and actual support of schools, their
running expenses, etc

CURE FOR DIVORCE EVIL.
Bachelor Girl Of San Antonio Comes
Forward with II.

Forward with II.
San Antonio, Tex: Miss Alice Ne
will, district clerk of Bexar county,
and the only woman to ever hold that
position in Texas, has novel remedy
to cure the divorce evil, although she
is a bachelor girl"
She thinks a law should be passed
making it necessary for statement
of intention to marry to be filed with
the district clerk six months before
the license would be issued, leaving
either party the right to withdraw the
declaration at any time before mar
riage.
This would effectually prevent mar
uiages on short acquaintance" says
Miss Nevill, land it is these marriages
that result in the most divorces. Both
men and women are inclined to rush
into marriage without mature con-
sideratlon. This results in the divorce
docket always being overcrowded with
petitions. ! hope to see people some
day take sane view OF the matrl-
monlal contract"
