COMFORT AND FARM
COUNTRY PROSPEROUS
SAYS v. J. MATTER
Well Known Editor and
Business Man Spends
Weekend in City.

Comfort and the fertile farm lands
that surround it together with the
ranches are in a prosperous condi.
ton and the community looks forward
20 a good year for 1923. according to
Vincent j. McAteer, well-known bust
ness man of Comfort and for more
than 20 years the editor and publisher
of the Comfort News, who with Mrs.
McAteer spent the weekend in San
Antonio.
Mr.. McAteer says that while the
Comfort section in keeping with most
of this part of Texas suffered some
what from too much dry weather this
winter, the recent drop in tempera-
ture and a considerable snow fall fol.
lowed by a slow rain had put a good
season in the ground and the section
is in very good shape.
Mr.. McAteer, who has lived nearly
quarter of a century at Comfort Is
confirmed booster for that pretty
little town and country. He believes
tat in addition TO its many natural
resources and fertile acres, that Com
fort is the logical summer resort for
San Antonio and notes with much
pride that annually, more and more
San Antonians are finding recreation
and out-of-door life along the Guada.

LEGISLATURE
IS PLANNING
To ADJOURN
Little Likelihood Session
Will Go Over 60-day
Period.
INTRODUCE SO4 BILLS
Oppose Measure That
Would Regulate Com
mission Merchants.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 12.-Plans are
already on foot for sine die adjourn.
ment Of the regular session of the
Thirty-eighth Legislature on Marcel
10. There is nothing to prevent the
Legislature from continuing in SEES
sion after the 60-day period has ex.
Tired, but after that time they will
not receive more than 50 per day,
while at present they are paid 50 per
diem.
Accordingly, from now on there
will be a disposition to rush legisla.
ton which sometimes results in the
enactment Of hastily considered legis.
lation which will not stand the test
of the courts. This is the reason that
repeated efforts are made to amend
the constitution so as TO provide a
longer regular session and at the same
time increase the compensation of the
lawmakers.
There are no indications that the
special session Of the Legislature will
be held Immediately following the reg
ular session. the general impression
being that the governor will wait I'M
til next summer, probably June or
July, before he assemblies the law
makers to pass the general appropria'
ton bills. BY that time it will have
been definitely aascprtained how much
additional revenue the state will have
| by the enactment of new tax meas
Ures.
Oppose Lewis Bill.
Considerable opposition is beint
manifested against the Lewis House
bill. which seeks to further regulate
commission merchants. that is, thost
persons engaged in the buying ant
| selling of fruits and vegetables on ;
commission basis. The bill require
such commission merchants TO be ii
censed by the commissioner of agri
culture and also REQUIRES the filing o
reports with that official.
The Wholesale Fruit and Produce
Dealers Association of Texas. is solid
" against the bill. according to Georg,
n. Mendell Jr., attorney for the as
socintion.
"Should this bill be enacted into
| law" said MendPll. ait will thwar

NO VITAL ISSUES

A light vote is expected in the
school election Tuesday when four
members will be elected TO fill the
vacancies TO be caused by the expira-
ton of the terms of ]. X. Beretta
Guy S. Mcfarland, Herbert PEARS
and Mrs. Henry Guerra. Sixteen poll
ing places. two for each of the eight
wards, will be opened at S O'Clock
Tuesday morning and closed at Z
o'clock Tuesday evening. Ten thou
sand ballots, the number of votes cast
at the school board election last year,
were delivered Monday noon.
Although the vote reached 10000
last year, it is not expected it will be
in excess of $500, this year, since
there is but one complete ticket, that
of the Better Schools" movement.
At the election last year the better
schools ticket composed of Dr. W. Fl.
Hargis, Mrs. Byron Eastburn and
Mrs. c. L. Hoff, was victorious over
the School Children's" Ticket head

Burmeister said that it was to curb
the activities of persons who dyna'
mite dipping watts in East Texas. BY
having more inspectors it will be pos
sible to keep a closer watch on these
watts, especially in the eastern portion
of the state.
There are also two joint resolu-
tions, proposing amendments to the
constitution, pending on the House
calendar. One is by Davenport Of
San Antonio, proposing state plan
of insurance and the other by lie
Stourgeon, authorizing the state TO
establish plants for the printing OF
text books.
SO4 Bills introduced.
There have been so far SO4 bills
introduced in the Legislature, of
which 500 are House bills, while 3O4
are Senate bills. 1t is estimated that
nearly one-half of these measures will
either be killed in committee or die on
the calendar for lack of time for con.
sideration. So far none of the So
called freak bills have run the legis-
lative gauntlet. The members seem
to be opposed to this class of legisla-
ton, and as yet none of the rcgula-
tory measures have succeeded in pass.

torney, announcing. The ticket is
composed of Guy $. Mcfarland, Her
bert Pc .irs, Mrs. Henry Guerra. who
are running for reelection, and Henry
A. Rogers.
From various sources come rumOrs
to the effect that a concerted effort
is being made to have the voters write
i. the name Of another person and
scratch the name of one of the mem
bers of the school Children's" Ticket.
1t is reported that a member of the
school board was the organizer of this
reported concerted effort.
Due to the fact that no poll lists
will be available, ballots may be cast
with dispatch, it was asserted by
Paul SchOlz, business manager of the
San Antonio school board. Presenta-
ton of a poll tax receipt, or an at
fidavit in case of the loss of the re-
ceipt, is all that is required of the
voters. Mr.. Scholz said.
Virtually No Issue Developed.
Failure of an opposition ticket. to
present itself has resulted in the fact
chat the election will be held on prac-
tically q non-issue basis. An under

In this respect. however, even thu
members of the ticket do not holC

has asserted that he will exert himself
to have the Interpretation of the rul
