ELECTION BILL
AIMED At 7 He
c. D. P. IN TEXAS
Requires Political Parties
Polling 10000 Votes
to Hold Primary.
QUO WARRANTO PASSES
Amendments Extract Most
!. Of "Teeth" From Neffs
Pet Legislation.

Austin. Tex, April 2o.-Senator
Bowers Of Caldwell yesterday intro
dueed a bill in the Senate. providing
that political parties in Texas cast
ing more than 10000 votes ct the
ureceding general election shall be
required to hold a primary election.
This bill. if enacted, would require
the Republican party TO hold prl-
mary election in the state.
Another bill by Bowers authorizes
state executive committees Of politl-
cal parties holding primaries to pre-
scribe voting qualifications and to
test voters.
This bill Is portion OF the So
called swhite mans" primary election
bill introduced by Representative
Davenport in the House at the regu-
lar session.
A bill was introduced BY Senator
Burkett, proposing the creation Of the
eleventh court of civil appeals to be
located at Eastland. At the regular
session a similar bill, placing the
court at Abilene, was passed, but
vetoed by the governor.
Other measures introduced were !:
By Thomas, making it an Offense to
purchase as well as to sell any amount
Of liquor; By Thomas. providing for
the collection of delinquent taxes !;
by Thomas, refunding approximately
S3,0O0,000 Of independent school dis
trict bonds.
After debating the measure the en-
tire day, the House late Wednesday
passed finally, as to %, the Patter-
son-Wilmans quo warranto bill as
advocated by Governor Neff.
The bill is again sent TO the Senate
for action, although somewhat modi-
fled from the original bill as passed
in the House Mt the regular session.
As passed at the regular session
the bill would permit the institution
of prosecution against any county Of
ficer who failed to enforce the laws
in a county in the same supreme judi
cial district.
o Bill Is Amended.
As finally passed Wednesday even
ing the prosecution is TO be instituted
in the county Of the residence Of the
officer, or in an adjoining county, il
the district where the officer resides
Is composed of only one county. Thi,
means the offending officer cannot bC
taken 100 or 200 miles away to be
tried.

its present location and relocating it
in Central Texas and within 20 miles
from Austin, is scheduled to be con-
sidered in the Senate Friday.
The majority Of the committee that
made the investigation on the ques-
ton of removal Of the system recon-
mended that the location be changed.
This question was up at the regular
session but action was deferred until
the special session. There is
minority report signed by Senators
Lewis and Fairchild.
Governor Neff is also opposed to
the removal of the system to Central
Texas.
Following the adoption in the Sen
ate late Thursday of a Senate reso-
luton offered by Senator Pollard Of
Van Zandt, an exhaustive investiga-
ton into the tax situation in Texas
is to be made by senatorial COM
mittee.
Senators Pollard. Fairchild and
Strong were named by Lieutenant
Governor Davidson to make the in
vestigation.
1t is charged in the resolution that
certain counties of the state have been
labeled as "slacker Counties in litera-
ture circulated By certain tax organ
izations.

passage of the bill that "much Of the
teeth has been extracted from the
measure"
The motion By which the bill was
passed finally was reconsidered and
spread on the journal, which IS q
parliamentary procedure which means
that the bill may yet be further con-
sidered by a majority vote.
This action was taken by the
friends of the measure. 1t was ex-
planned by Representative Burmeister,
supporter of the bill, that an at
tempt was planned by opponents TO
block passage of the measure in the
Senate.
Had a motion to RECONSIDER and
table" prevailed It would require
unanimous consent 10 further consider
the measure.
The amendment offered during the
morning session BY Hull, of San An
tonic, that the officer shall be tried
in the county where he resides, was
substituted for one BY Bonham which
added "Or in an adjoining county
where the district is composed of only
one county"

Representative Purl sought TO have
an amendment adopted that before any
proceedings are instituted against an
officer, the petition for his removal
shall be signed by % qualified voters
asking for such removal and that the
signers believe the officer is guilty,
and If upon trial he is found not
guilty. the signers shall be subject to
civil action for damages.
This amendment was defeated by
vote Of 20 to 80.
An attempt to postpone considera-
ton indefinitely Of the bill made by
Harding was defeated BY vote of

Would Aid Rural Schools.
Representative Laird, Of Angelina
county, has introduced a bill carrying
an appropriation of 100000 an
nually for aid 10 the rural or country
schools of the state for the fiscal
years ending August 81, 1924, and
August 81, 1925. This bill differs
from other measures hereintofore in
troduced on this subject.
The Laird bill limits the extension
of aid to those schools whose enroll
ment is 500 or less and which shall
have voted q 80 cent school tax. 1t
also eliminates the elaborate system
of inspection by inspectors in the de-
partment of education which is now
required under the present rural
school aid law.
Inspectors sscertaining whether a
rural school has complied with the
requirements of the law, the Laird
bill leaves this function 10 the county
superintendent of the school affected.
A school desiring aid under the
Laird bill shall make an application
through the trustees to the county
superintendent, who shall make the
application to the state authorities.
In the opinion of Representative
Laird there would be several thou
sand dollars saved in expenses of in
spectors by the enactment of his bill.
and the requirement that there shall
be a school tax Of 80 cents voted
would be an incentive for better
schools in the rural communities.

the state treasurer taxable securities,
instead of tax exempt securities.
Shires said there were now about
S16.0O0.000 tax-exempt securities in
the state treasury, and il these were
converted into taxable securities. it
would yield not less than S3,0OO,0 600
a year in revenue.
An open hearing will be held next
Monday night before the House COM
mittee on revenue and taxation on
several revenue measures, which will
include the Patman bill, which pro-
poses TO increase the gross receipts

POPULARITY OF CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOL is INCREASING

Denver.-The number of public
schools in Colorado is decreasing,
while the number Of pupils enrolled,
the average daily attendance and the
number of teachers employed are all in
creasing. Surveys conducted by the
State immigration Department show
only 1854 public schools of all classes
in the state at the beginning of 1923,
compared with 2,976 last year, while
the number of teachers employed this
year is 8,745, compared with 1892 last
year. The records of the state super
intendent of schools show that the av-
erage daily attendance in the public
schools for the school years ending
June 80, 1922, was 170,426, compared
with 167, 1888 for the preceding years,
while the number of pupils enrolled in
1922 was 243,004, compared with 232,-
757 the preceding year.
The decrease in the number of
schools is due to the growing popular
ity of the consolidated school, which
takes the place of two or more small
er schools, and provides better school
building and school facilities in gen.
eral than were previously provided in
the smaller schools. County superin-
tendents reported 120 consolidated
schools in the state this year, COM
pared with 76 last year.

cracking of horns and pounding of
hoofs, the dusty Thirl of cattle. and
the flying cowboys disconnected Made

Madeline saw a dark-faced Mexican
riding by. Hs was too far away for
Ter TO distinguish his features. but he
reminded heT of an Italian brigand
lie bestrode a magnificent horse.
Stillwe1 rode up to the girls then
and greeted them in his big voice
Fright in the thick of it, hey? Wal

Majesty, tibet you amt afraid of a
little dust or smell of burnin' hide an

"GoOd Any news of Danny Mains?"

Ambrose is a ladies' man, he Thinks"
TIE two men and Florence joined
in little pleasant teasing of Made
line, and drew her attention to what
appeared to be really unnecessary feats
of hersenanship AL made in her vi
entity. The COWBOYS evinced their in
terest In covert gtances while recoiling
q lasso or while passing to and fro
1t was all too serious for Madeline to
be amused at that moment. She did
not care to talk. She sat her horse
and watched.

New York.-The British freighter
Cornish City was saved from destruc-

the crew of fireboat. Fire was dis
covered in the freighter's No. hold
shortly after she arrived from Liver
pool, via Philadelphia, and an
chored off Stapleton, Staten Island.
The ship carried a general cargo. The
extent of the damage has not been de-
termined. The Cornish City is 400 feet

a golden mass.
"Mr. Stillwell," she began. and
paused, strangely aware of a hurried
note, deeper ring in her voice. "Mr.
Stillwell, l want to buy your ranch
to engage you as my superintendent.
| want to buy Don Carlos ranch and
other property to the extent, say. of
fifty thousand acres. l want you to
buy horses and cattle-in short, to
make all those improvements which
you said you had so long dreamed of.
Then | have ideas of my own, in the
development of which l must have
your advice and Alfred's. l intend to
better the condition of those poor Mex
leans in the valley. l intend to make
life little more worth living for
them and for the cowboys Of this
range. Tomorrow we shall talk it
all over, plan all the business details"
Madeline turned from the huge
overwhelming smile that beamed down
upon her and held out her hands to
her brother

Communists Fire on Police

Gelsenkirchen.-Eight persons are
dead-seven men and one child-and
between seventy and eighty are suf-
fering from wounds due to bitter fight
ing which broke out in the town be-
tween Communists and the defense
forces. The trouble had it's origin in
the seizure by the Communists of pO-
lice headquarters, in which much de-
struction was wrought. The members
of the defense force who were holding
the building were driven out after
hard fighting.

CHAPTER vi
A Gift and a Purchase.

For a week the scene of the round
up lay within riding distance of the
ranch-house, and Madeline passed most
of this time in the saddle, watching
the strenuous labors of the vaqueros
and cowboys. She overestimated her
strength, and more than once had to
be lifted from her horse Stillwells
pleasure in her attendance gave place
to concern. He tried to persuade her
TO stay away from the roundup. and
Florence grew even more solicitous
Madeline. however, was not moved
by their entreaties.
She grasped only dimly the truth
of what it was she was learning
something infinitely more than the
rounding up of cattle by cowboys and
she was loath to lose an hour of her
opportunity.
Before the week was out, however
Alfred found occasion TO tell her that
IT would be wiser for her to LET the
roundup go without gracing it further
with her presence. He said it laugh
ingly; nevertheless. he was serious.
And when Madeline turned to him in
surprise he said bluntly:
81 don't like the way Don Carlos
follows you around. Bits afraid that
NeIs or Ambrose or one of the cow
boys will take a fall out of the Next
can. They're itching for the chance.
OF course. dear, it's absurd to you, but
It's true"
Absurd ii certainly was, vet it served
70 show Madeline how intensely occu-
red she had been with her own feel
rs, reused by the tumult and toll of
tile roundup She recalled that Don
Carlos had been presented to her, and
that she had not liked his dark. strik-
ing face with its bold, prominent, gilt
tering eyes and sinister lines; and she
had not liked his suave, sweet insin-
uating voice or his subtle manner, with
Its slow bows and gestures.
