DALLAS VETERANS
INDORSE CAMPBELL

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 16.-The fol.
lowing action, touching the relations
OF the Confederate Veterans and Gov.
ernor Campbell, was taken yesterday
by Camp Sterling Price. United Con.
federate Veterans:
Commander J. r. Cole and Comrades
of Sterling Price Camp No. 81, U.
G. ":
Your committee to whom was refer
red certain resolutions passed by
Camp r. +. Lee, United Confederate
Veterans, of Fort Worth, Texas, and
resolutions reported from the histori-
cal committee of this camp. both rela-
tive to Governor Thomas NJ Campbell
and the State Confederate Home at
Austin, Texas. with instructions to as
certain what amounts of money the
state legislature, recently in session,
appropriated for the support and
maintenance for said State Confed-
crate Home and the law regulating
the matter of such appropriations,
begs leave to report herewith:
We find that the constitution of the
state limits the appropriation for the
support and maintenance Of the State
Confederate Home to the maximum
sum OF 100000 annually.
We find also that for the support
and maintenance of said Confederate
Home the present legislature. at its
recent session, appropriated for the
year beginning Sept. /, 1907, and end
ing Aug. 81, 1908, the sum of ISL. 574:
and for the year beginning Sept. /,
1908, and ending Aug. 81, 1909, the
sum of SS1.174; these annual appro-
priations for the two years being $751;
426 less for the first year and S1S,S26
less for the second year than the con-
stitution permitted.
Whether these sums are sufficient
for the necessities OF the Home your
is unable to say. or even to
conjecture. but we infer
these sums were based upon expendi-
lures of former years with a logical
of what increased de-
mands, If any. might be.
Your committee begs leave to sug-
gest that all the facts considered, hav-
ing carefully read and digested Gov
enor Campbell's replies to the state
ments and structures in the resolu-
lions adopted by r E. Lee camp. U.
c. v. of Fort Worth. that in our Opin-
ion our comrades OF r. Z. Lee camp
we're somewhat hasty in arriving at
and we respectfully rec
ommend that said resolutions be
He'd. that the resolutions reported
from the histSEical committee be re-
