Sheriff Bachtle sent notice to

that he wished to purchase a pair of

shoes. ''I just got my automobile

The man finally after considerable
grumbling purchased SO pair OF

was made out in favor of Arthur

account of Herbert Thompson. The
worthlessness of the paper was not

constitutional convention, radical
changes in state tax laws and the
educational system, reclamation and
flood control, alteration Of highway
laws and relocation of the state pri
son, are among the matters that
will come before the Texas legisla

cording to statements from leaders
of the two branches.
The attorney general already has
prepared a measure for the creation
of a new constitution, designed to
replace the present one written in
1876. =.
Proposed changes in the state tax
laws are due to a deficiency in the
general revenue fund this year at
times amounting to more than two
million dollars. Many Texas schools
may be forced to close early next
spring because of the shortage of
state funds. An emergency ap-
preparation and an increase in state
allotment for the schools are advo-
Gated.
Separation of the state banking
and insurance departments has been
endorsed by the state bankers as

such proposals. There also Is some
