AMARILLO HAS TROUBLE.
Governor Will Take a Hand In En-
forcement of Local Option Law.

Austin, Texas, Dec. 31.-According
to information received here a serious
state of affairs prevails at Amarillo
concerning the enforcement of the
local option laws, and the governor
may have to take a hand in the mat
ter. 1t is said that the local option
law which went into effect recently is
being openly violated and the local of
ficers seem unable to cope with the
situation. 1t is said detachment of
rangers are also there, but this does
not seem to have had the desired eff
feet, and more rangers may have to
be detailed to Amarillo. 1t is report
ed that there have been some per-
sonal encounters in connection with
the attempt to enforce the local op-
ton law there.

else commissioners, each with sep
arate jurisdiction, one for each sena-
torial district, for instance, who shall
have sole authority over the issuance
and cancellation of liquor licenses.
These officers would be appointed by.
the governor without confirmation by
the senate, and would be removable
at the pleasure of the chief executive.
ALI applications for saloon licenses
would be made to them and they
would be required to examine into the
character of the applicants, to pass
upon their bonds and to grant the IL
censes. A suggested change from the
present law in this connection is that
applicants for licenses be required to
present petitions signed by major
ity Of the property owners in the
block The present law requires the
consent of a majority only in case of
a protest. 1t is believed that such a
law would be the means of taking the
saloon out of politics and put the
power into the hands of citizens at
any time to close an Objectionable
saloon.

Specia, to the Herald.
London, Jan. Odd age pensions,
which, for quarter of century has
been a subject of lively debate in the
British parliament and heated discus

accomplished fact today with the COM

through the last session of parliament

exception of the Irish home rule bill

more attention than has the old age

The law, in effect, provides that be-
ginning with this date every person
in Great Britain over seventy years

whose income does not exceed a sum
amounting to $3.50 year, is entitled
to a pension of five shillings a week
from the public treasury. In cases
where husband and wife or several
other members of the same family liv-
ing together apply the pro rata is
slightly reduced Nobody is to be al
lowed pension who has .'habitually
refused to work" and "all who have
been brought into a position to apply
for a pesion through his or her willful
acts of misbehavior." are debarred.
Ms Asquith, the author of the bill,
has estimated that in the United
Kingdom there are 1,246,00O persons
of seventy years of age and over and
that out of this total there are 572,-
