DAVIS BILL IS
PASSED BY HOUSE
ONLY ENACTINC CLAUSE
AN AMENDMENT ATTACHED
WHICH PRACTICALLY DE-
STROYS THE BILL.

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-The house
Thursday afternoon passed the Davis
bill, for the publicity of referred and
initiated acts. But all that was left
of the Davis bill, which provided for
the publication in pamphlets, was the
enacting clause, it having been
amended by Boggs by substituting a
provision that the acts shall be pub
lished in at least one newspaper in
each county for "a days, at one-third
the legal advertising rate, at least one
issue to be sent to each qualified vot-
er in the county. Representative
Moore of Newton, later in the day,
called up his bill, providing for the
publication in pamphlets, and it was
made a special order for Saturday
morning. The friends of the newspa-
per men appear to be in the majority
in the house, and it is predicted that
they will defeat the Moore bill.
The greater part Of the afternoon
was taken up with the Sebastian
county salary bill by Heartsill, and an
amendment was adopted, offered by
Mr.. Osborne of Sebastian that the
salaries proposed by Mr.. Heartsill
shall not become effective until Octo-
ber 81, 1914, in order to protect the
interests of the men now holding the
offices. The bill has been made a spe-
cial order for Saturday morning, at
which time Mr.. Heartsill will con-
tinue his fight for the bill which has
been his chief legislative object for
the last six years.
Mr.. Davis of Columbia introduced a
bill Thursday afternoon for the crea-
tion of a textbook commission.

MANDATE SEEN IN DEMAND.
Mexican Dictator's Friends Say He
Must Quit Office or Invite War.

"0SS NOiS SIItSC IhNikS war;
Mexico City, Nov. 5.-The under
current Of conversation at the national
palace carried rumors regarding Pres
ident Huerta's attitude in the face of
Washington's demands that he retire.
but the President himself preserved
silence.
Huerta's intimates nre familiar with
the terms of the communication,
which they regard as practically man
datory. The memorandum from the
administration at Washington states
that unless General Huerta retires i'm
mediately, and thereafter has nothing
to do with the conduct Of affairs or
the formation Of new government,
the President of the United States will
issue an ultimatum, which, If rejected,
will cause him to call upon Congress
to authorize him to use sterner
methods.
The language used caused Huerta's
friends to regard the American COM
munication in itself as conclusive,
since General Huerta is given no
choice regarding further participation
in Mexico's official affairs.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER %, 1913.
HON. LEOPOLD NORRIS.

In announcing himself as candidate for
the nomination for Governor of Texas,
Hon. Leopold Morris Of Victoria, gives
out a lengthy and rather ably written
declaration Of principles
The Herald takes pleasure in giving
the announcement and the platform as
much publicity as possible.
1. Mr.. Morris holds that a prohibit
zionist is not necessarily a progressive,
and the anti is not necessarily a reac-
tinary; that to make prohibition a test
of one's democracy is little short of per
secutiOn.
9. He is an nti-prohibitionist but
does not believe prohibition should be
a paramount issue in the campaign.
3. The people who say they want a
"business man for governor are people
who really mant "a big business man for
governor
A. The paramount issue is. shall the
people or che special interests rule?
s. The present system Of taxation is
unjust. Land which is supposed to be
taxed at it's full value is really taxed at
from ten to fifty per cent of its value.
6. 1t is not practical to abolish the
fee system which was regarded by its
founders as a merit system.
z. Education is the greatest question
now confronting the people of Texas. The
university and A & Nj College should be
separated and these and all other state
institutions should be developed to the
highest degree. The use of revenue from
endowment funds of the university, to
secure needed grounds and improvements
would not be against public policy
g.. A bill similar in its provisions to
the BONNER illiteracy bill should be en-
acted. 1t would excite more interest in
governmental affairs among the masses
of the people.
g.. Favors initiative, referendum and
recall.
10. The state should demand more
newspaper publicity for the affairs of
its counties.
soften elections are held without
many people having any knowledge of
them, and the publication of all cleo
ton proc amatiOns i'm the newspapers i'll
stead of on bulletin boards. miles away
from the interested communities, would
do much to remedy this state Of affairs"
IL. Unalterab'y opposed to a new con
stitutiOn at this time.
u. Favors. amending the law so as
TO allow reasonable re-valuatiOn of rail
road properties.
13. Oppose railroad consultations on
Uanaral p~rincipleS.
IA. Stands for every policy that will
benefit the farmer.
Is. Favors development of mineral re
sources, and hopes for a day when ev-
cry laboring man will receive a just
share of the fruits of his labor.
16. Would keep Texas money in Tex
as. but realizes that Texas needs money
from the outside. Would not approve OF
repeal of Robertson insurance law.
II. Believes farming offers solution
of problem of making penitentiaries self
sustaining Favors general improve
ments i'm convict system.
IS. Favors squire foods and pure
clothes
