The president read the memorial

said the elimination of the tariff upon

reduction of the price and that COM
petition of other countries ought to be

The Dock Board.

AT their sitting in New Orleans
Monday the Supreme Court OF the
State of Louisiana relieved the Dock
Board of New Orleans of their pre-
sumption that their Offices were TO
be held perpetually, or at least until
parted by death or accident.
IT NAV be recalled how these gen.
tlemen of this board defied Cover
nor Hall in his authority to remove
them and name their successors.
In this case, on the relation of the
Attorney General versus Adolph
Dumser. a member of the board, on
appeal from the lower court, Asso-
cjate Justice Monroe dissenting, the
opinion of the majority, with ESQ
ciate Justice Land as the organ OF
the court, is that while under the
law a port commission must remain
in existence during the life of the
bonds, the tenure of office of mem
hers of the board was not extended,
In other words, the court declares
the law is that the port commission
must control port affairs during tho
time the bonds have to run, but its
personnel is not perpetuated by the
law.
The Interpretation of this decree
is that the port commission must
remain in existence, but that its
members are not perpetuated in Of
flee and may be removed by the
Governor. Besides Adolph Dumser
the members of the commission
who resisted removal, were w. A.
Kernaghan, president, and J. d.

LONG DELAY.
Warrants Cannot Be Cashed
For Some Time.

Texas State Treasurer Edwards an
nounced. after having compiled a Ia
BILE of appropriations OF appropria.
tons OF the recent legislature and
considered the available funds for the
treasury. that it would be Impossible
to paw some state warrants until hve
or six months after date of issuance
The Thirty third legislature made ap
preparations of 81, l25, 900. There is
a heavy deficiency in the treasury, al
though 1925 600 of Misrepresentation
has been paid out.
Estimating upon the basis OF last
yeas's expenditure. the dates OF pay
ments of warrants we're announced as
follows: Warrants issued in April
will be paid not later than June 10; In
May. not later than Aug. Ii; in June.
not later than Nov. 4; in July, not
later than Dec. 9, and those issued in
August not latur than Jan. 20, 1914.
There necessarily must be an in
crease in the tax rate,' said the
treasurer, in speaking of the condi-
ton of the state treasury. Present ad
valorem tax rate is 10 cents on each
800 of assessed valution. Owing to
the fact that the legislature does not
meet until July q to make appropria-
tions, the automatic tax board, which
is supposed to meet in July, will have
to postpone its meeting until the ap-
preparation bill is passed.

STRANGE PRANK
Played With the Enabling Act
For Corporaticns.

Circumstances played queer prank
with the enabling act for Texas cor
porations whose charters have been
forfeited for non payment OF franchise
taxes. 1t has been customary for the
various sessions of the Legislature to
pass an act to enable corporations to
revive their charters by payment OF
back taxes. The time limit placed on
the rights of these delinquent corpor.
ations is generally from the date of
the time the bill becomes a law until
the succeeding January. However,
this year the date of Sept. l was put
as a limit.
Bill introduced in both houses was
sent to free conference committee,
from which it emerged with favorable
recommendations March %. Allowing
the constitutional requirement. three
months after adjournment, when the
measure becomes effective, the earliest
date that corporations may take. ad-
vantage of the enabling act is July I.
This allows delinquent corporations
but two months to pay back taxes
Heretofore the time has always been
six months or more.
