ENTIRE IRRIGATION AND DRAIN
AGE ACT is HELD TO BE VOID

Austin, Tex.-Assistant Attorney
General W. P. Dumas, who wrote the
opinion holding that he would not ap-
prove reclamation or levee district
bonds under the Canales act, Wednes-
day said that the same action would be
taken on bonds of irrigation and drain
age districts, should they be submit
ted. In plain words the entire act is
held void and of no effect, therefore
its provisions do not apply to any i'm
provement districts.
Mr.. Dumas also made it plain that
his opinion does not touch or go to the
Alderdice or Laney bill, which was
based on the conservation amendment
to the constitution, adopted in August
of 1917. However, bond buyers will
not purchase bonds issued under the
latter act Mr. Dumas said he would
approve district bonds issued under
the original act Of 1915.

THE STATE TEXTBOOK BOARD
DECLINES SOME CONTRACTS

Austin, Tex.-At its session Thurs
day the state textbook board declined
to renew all the contracts of CHM &

publishers, and rejected the books in
volved. The books on which six-year
renewals were refused include the Hill

history, total of eight books. The
board offered to renew the contracts
on the books for one year at present
prices, but the publishers asked for six
years. The board did renew the con-
tracts for Wentworth's algebra for six
years and the Wentworth & Smith
plane geometry for six years. For the
same reason the board refused to re-
new the contract with the World Book
Company for the Ritchie human ply
siology, and with the Southern Pub
fishing Company for the Hall, Smith G
Ousley history. 1t renewed for six
years the contract with the Southern

TERRELL REPLIES TO INQUIRY
REGARDING LIQUOR LICENSES

| Austin, Tex. ~ Controller Terrell
Thursday, in answer to inquiries from
county tax collectors asking if they
have authority to issue licenses to
wholesale liquor dealers, sent the fol
lowing:
This office has no jurisdiction over
the wholesale liquor dealers. Your at
tention, however, is directed to chap
ter %, acts Of the fourth called session
of the thirty-fifth legislature, prohibit
ing granting of licenses to liquor deal
ers except in incorporated towns and
cities"
Controller Terrell said there was a
question in his mind as to whether
the law referred to in his telegram ap-
plies to wholesale liquor dealers. The
law prohibites the issuance of licenses
to "any liquor dealer" 1t does not
say retailer or wholesaler. In conse-
quence the controller will leave that
question up to the county tax collector
to decide
The controller had advices Thurs
day that the county tax collector of
Williamson county had issued a IL
cense to one wholesaler at Taylor.
Inquiries have come to the controller
from a number of retail liquor dealers
whose licenses were issued within a
year prior to July lie, the date of the
expiration of a great majority of the
retail liquor dealers licenses, and
which have not been redeemed or can
celed, asking if they are authorized
under the holding of the court of Grim
inal appeals Wednesday to reopen for
business. Controller Terrell is an /
swering advising against any attempt
to reopen until the mandate has been
issued in the statewide prohibition
case.

and that this wish and purpose eman-
ate not from those who have hitherto
dictated the policy and conducted the
present war on Germany's behalf, but
from ministers who speak for the mas
Jority of the reichStag and for an over
whelming majority of the German peo-
pie, and having received also the ex-
plic1t promise of the present German
government that the humane rules of
civilized warfare will he observed
both on land and sea by the German
armed forces, the president of the
United States feels that he cannot de-
cline to take up with the governments
with which the government of the
United States is associated the ques-
tiOn of an armistice.
He deems it his duty to say again,
however, that the only armistice ne
would feel justified in submitting for
consideration would be one which
should leave the United States and the
powers associated with her in a posi-
ton TO enforce any arrangements that
may be entered into and to make a
renewal of hOstilities on the part of
Germany impossible.

fatted calf when the meeting is at
Oakshore. He intends to be present
this time and bring that fatted calf

Bob and Pink Gresham, John Luns-
ford, Father Kirwin and Active Prest-
dent Bowen will fast two weeks be-
fore leaving home that they may be
able to do justice to the Lucullan
feasts."

cares, work and worry and go down
to the seashore to recreate and forget
the war for the once. All who have
been in the newspaper or printing

MARKET BASKETS OF AMERICA

E. o. WILD.
QUESTI0NNAIRES SENT OUT
Eight Hundred and Forty Thousand
Acres of Rich Lowlands Are Includ-
ed by an Imaginary Line From
Myrtle Grove to Bayou Lafourche
Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge
AS part Of reports which will be
made by the committee appointed re
Gently by Governor Pleasant and Ma
yor Behrman in conjunction with the
governments plan TO provide farms
within easy financial reach for its re,
| turning soldiers after the war. it will
be suggested that the government eth
er acquire, or stand behind tie trans
fer to such soldiers of the $4,000
acres Of rich lowlands that lie be-
tween Donaldsonville and Myrtle
Grove along the Mississippi, according
to Edward o. Wild, publisher of the
Gulf States Farmer. and Fred ]. Grace,
state land registrar, who are members
of the state and Orleans parish COM
mittees. Mr.. Wild was a visitor to the
State Land Office recently, partly in
connection with the work of these
committees. He said:
We should truthfuIly say we have
therein the market basket Of America,
If We could have these lands developed
to the fullest extent of their possibili-
ties, at the same time providing the
desired means for support to the sol
diers"
These $4,000 acres of rich lowlands
are encompassed by an imaginary line
running from Myrtle Grove due west
TO Bayou Lafourche and following the
bayou northwarI oto Donaldsonville,
including part of Ascension and Pla-
quemines parishes and the parishes OF
st. James, st. John, St. Charles, La
fourche, Jefferson and Orleans,
The committees have already sent
out to the various owners of the 84O.-
600 acres in question a QUESTIONABLE
which, among other things, calls for
statement by the individual owner as
to what he would consider a reasona-
BILE price TO be paid MIN in the event
the government takes over his land.
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
interior, through Publicity Director
Reynolds of the provost marshal gen
erals Office in Washington, urgently
requests, in a telegram to Secretary
John Marshall of the Louisiana State
Council of Defense, that wide public
ity be given the fact that the United
States Senate committee on public
lands has unanimously reported favor
ably on bill appropriating a million
dollars to make survey of farms for
returning soldiers. It is this survey
work that the two above committees
are engaged in. II is said that Louia-
lana has to offer million and a half
acres of cutover lands and a million
acres of lowlands for this purpose.
This bill is in line with legislation
suggested by the secretary of the inte-
rior, and the committee believes it of
great Importance" said Director Rey-
nolds' telegram. THE committee fur
ther believes that it should be attend
ed to in ample time. The war may
end in another year, and if this
scheme is to be embarked upon at all,
no time should be lost in doing So
The committee believes the proposed
and the undertaking corr
.enplated thereby to be of great and !
7ital Importance to the country and a
great and valuable economic pro-
gram"
