The senators propose that the sal
aries of University and A. and III.

that amount and salaries below that
figure be not touched. The house
members met the proposal by offer
ing to make it $225O. The offer was
flatly rejected by the senators and
caused their withdrawal.
The committee remained in execut-
i've session all day yesterday and un-
iii late last night. In making their
proposition the senator's cut their
amount one hundred dollars from last
nights offer. At that time they
wanted a minimum salary figure OF

SALARIES.CUT
CAUSE OF HOT
FIGHT in HOUSE
Passage Of Educational Ap.
preparation Bill Ends
Record Battle

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug, 15-The
final passage in the house of repre-
sentatives Of the educational appro-
priation bill with reductions IN the
salaries of the University. Of Texas
and Texas A. & M. College professors
and instructors brought the finale OF
one of the most spirited parliament
ary battles in the history OF the
house. The majority leaders in the
reduction move, about eighty strong
gradually reduced the salaries ana
sliced the appropriations to SUIT
themselves, while the minority, about
80, fought against bitter odds 70
stave off the reductions.
Chairman Satterwhite of the ap
propriations committee and Repre-
sentative Williams of McLennon
county led the majority in the bat
tie royal. while Representatives Bon
ham. Curtis and Pope guided the
majority through the salary reducing
area. The climax brought statements
from leaders of both sides, Chairman
Satterwhite for the minority and
Representative Curtis for the major
ity. Both legislators undertook 70
show their sides of the issue.
= The Satterwhite statement follows
"The effect of the Bonham bill 10
the university is to give the uni
versity about 100000 less for the
two wears and at the same time take
500. 900 more out of the pockets OF
the tax payers than does the original
committee bill.
'sUnder the bill as reported TO the
house by the appropriation committee
the total for the University of Texas
was s2.204.000 for the two years.
The bin as amended by the house car
ries total of s2.S02,000 in round
numbers for the two years.
I'm the committee bill. the avail
able fund accruing TO the university
for the two years, including present
cash balance of $l50,000, giving u
total of about 100000 for the two
years, was appropriated to the uni
versity for support and maintenance,
Just as il has been for the past several
terms. In other words. the commit
tee bill provided a fund Of about
$4,000, 900 for the two fiscal years
whereas the amended bill provided
s2.3O2. 900, or about 100000 less
than the committee bill. But after
all, the amended bill takes out of the
general revenue fund Of this state
about 100000 more than the com.
mittee bill. 1t was for this reason
that the committee finally agreed to
allow the university the use of the
available fund, inasmuch as it was
deemed best to cut out all building
program for the next two years and
thus save that much money to the tax
payers
As to the A. & NJ. College. the
house amendment cut out S107,9 900
on salaries and then added s550,00o
for summer school, s43,200 for ex-
perimental stations and $4,000 fot

committee, applicants must also file
an affidavit by a county official tes-
flying to residence and other facts.
Certain days are appointed when

counties TO helI prepare applica-
tons Commanders Of local legion
posts will verify the claims Of those

forwarded the completed and at
tested applications to the bonus Of
