SAYS LOVE IS TO BLAME.
Pollard Does Not Agree With
Speaker of House.

Austin, June Assistant Attor.
ney General Pollard, who made the
ruling on the Baskin- McGregor liquor
bill, the effect of which will be to
close every saloon In Texas for q
period of twenty days, was seen reia.
tive to an interview printed in a north
Texas paper, given out by Speaker
Love, in which he takes issue with the
attorney generals department. He
said he is preparing a reply to Mr..
untilLove. In this interview Judge
Pollard goes after Speaker Love.
Judge Pollard says that Speaker Love
betrays woeful unfamiliarity with the
provisions of the liquor law, and had
he been familiar with the ant he
would not have made a statement. Mr..
Pollard says it is not what the legis.
lature intended to do, but what it did
IN the passage of this act, and if a
tax interim of from ten to fifteen days
clapses from the time a liquor deal
er's license expires until he gets a
new license, that fault is with the
legislature, and Speaker Love, being
a member of that body, must bear his
share of the responsibility along with
other members of the legislature.

ment given out A. J. Baskin, one of the
authors of the liquor bill, the enact.
ment of which is causing so much ap-
prehension in the state, takes issue
with the recent ruling of the attorney
generals apartment in regard to Ii
censes beink revoked. Mr. Baskin says
that supreme court decision more
recent than the one referred to in the
opinion of the attorney generals de-
partmnt proyids that such laws can
be construed to be prospective in their
operation and not effect licenses now
in effect. He calls attention to the
fact that the clause which was part
OF the original bill provided for the
repeal of all licenses in force at the
time the bill homes in effect but this
clause was stricken out, so it was
evidently not the intention of the leg
islature to make holders of present Ii
censes suffr any hardship. He also
calls attention to the general local
option law, which provides for the
return Of part of the license fee where
license is revoked

Secretary George L. Mccarthy of
the association said: Diseased cows

the dairy from which most of them
come is diseased. The danger to the
public by consuming milk and other
dairy products from tubercular causes
and cows suffering from other diseases
would be appalling If it was generally
known. Farmers, who are responsible
for this condition of affairs, have no
incentive to keep their farms clean
and herds free from diseases so long
as they are paid full valu for diseased
animals sent to market for slaughter"

cipally felicitous remarks to the vet
Grams whom he saw among crowds
that pressed about his car Likewise
to the fathers and mothers who gath

remain at the head of the government

pleasantly in return for the compli-
ment. At several places along the
