NEFF MESSAGE
TODAY REVIEWS
HIS CHARGES
Gives no Definite Information
But Reiterates That Graft
Exists in the Capitol
(By Associated Press)

AUSTIN, Texas, July 20-In a
message to the house today Governor
Neff renewed his charges of extra
vagance and graft at the state capi-
tol.
The governor gave no definite in
formation, but said he renewed every
charge made in his speeches. He said
he noticed where the speaker said lit
il high time" that the pc on making
the charges substantiated them and
that he would gladly do so if called
upon. IL not he would 20 before his
constituents" and tell them with
lips not padlocked."
The governor enumerated the
charges he had made that there was
graft and padding of expense ac-
counts, graft in public school funds
and department funds of the state.
The message ws sent only to the
house.
The chasm which has arisen be-
tween the governor and the legisla-
ture widened considerably today
when Representative Williams of
McTennan on point Of personal
privilege denounced the governor
for criticising the legislature. The
speech followed the reading Of the
governors message in the house.
Williams said: 1T looks as IL we
are expected to do "a young mocking
birds do-eat from the chief execu-
tIve's hand. We have been called
down for being in too close harmony
with the department heads-that
those that appropriate the peoples
money and those that spend it arc In
too close harmony. insinuating that
the taxpayers are being flinched." He
said he was not opposed TO the gov
rfnor solely. ode that Fe opposed any
man who attempted to criticize the
legislature or hold them in contempt
