| ton introduced a bill to increase the
state revenues by providing for the
assessment of all notes, mortgages
and other evidences of credit and the
taxation of such on a basis of their
actual worth. They must be register
ed with the county assessor and if
mot registered for assessment and tax
alton they become null and void.
A bill by Mr.. King for the better
protection of public highways and
prescribing the width of wagon tires
to be used in this state, stirred a live
ly debate and a motion was made to
table the bill, but this was defeated
and the bill read the second time and
referred to the committee on public
highways. The chief objection to
the bill was that it would result in a
difference of width of tires and this
would make hauling difficult in sec
tions where the roads are poor
Friends of the bill said that reform
had to begin some day if the state
is ever to have good roads, and now
is a good time.
The bill does not affect wagons
now in use, except that when new
wheels are provided they must com.
! ply with the requirements of the law,
and no vehicle that does not comply
will be allowed on the roads after
1920. The scale of widths is based
on the size of axles, the general pro-
vision being for wider tires than Gcw
used. For instance, wagon with
| three-inch wooden axle must have
tires four inches in width.

Ruff of Cleburne, creating a board
of control of three members to have
charge of all charitable institutions,
the commissioners to receive an an
nual salary of $4,000.
Gov. Hays sent a special message
to the senate regarding this bill, de-
clarins that outside influences were
being brought to bear to place the
bill back on second reading for
amendment. He stated that the bill
is a most important one and asked
that this action be not taken.
Senator Ruff spoke at length on
his bill, declaring that it will solve
the problem the state has labored
with for years in connection with the
of how they had been mismanaged
in the past by board which spent
Dul OnC udy llIoilLll III tllV lliobitu
tions, and informed the senate that
he had visited the places and seen
for himself how they were conduct
ed.
Senator Futrell of Greene replied
to Senator Ruff, asserting that the
proper way to handle the state insti-
tutions was to place them all in the
hands of one man, and to pay him
such a salary that it would tempt
the best material from the daily
that he, too, had some experience in
dealing with the charitable institu-
system, but did not care to pass it up
until a better was offered. He pick
ed out many flaws, as he considered
them, in the Ruff bill, stating that
the bill would permit the commits
soners to collect insurance if the
buildings burned, and they were not
under bond, so they could divert it
to their own pockets if they saw fit
He called attention to the fact that
the secretary of the board was to be
under bond, while he handled no
funds at all.

for the commission to repeal the full
crew laws of the state. Senator Flu
trell was named as one of the co-au-
thors of the new Jones bill, but he
declined to accept the honor and ask
ed that his name be removed. Both
bills were referred to the public ser
vice corporation committee.
