Senators Cousins and Holbrook
were the principal opponents TO the

of Tarrant strongly supported the bill.
declaring that the imposition of this
tax would mean that the burden
would be on persons outside of Texas
as most OF this product lis for inter
state consumption.
Pass Two Banking Bills.
Two important banking bills affect
ing the Texas state bankers were
passed finally in the House during the
afternoon session. These bills were
recommended by the state bankers con-
ference held last summer at Waco.
Both Of these bills are Senate meas
ures by Senator Holbrook. They were
engineered through the House by Rep
resentative Blount of Nacogdoches.
These measures now go to the COVER
nor for approval.
One of these bills creates the. office
of Texas banking commissioner, at a
salary of $1,000, an increase of $1,000
q year over the compensation now paid
the banking and insurance commits
sioner. Under this bill the salary
of the deputy banking commissioner
is fixed at $4,000, while at present
this official receives $4,000 annually.
The general liquidating agent. under
this measure will no mid SJ0n0 a
year. That official now gets $4,000.
The salary of the departmental exam
iner is fixed at $4,000 a year. .,'.
Bill Affects State Banks.
The other banking bill provides that
when a state bank wishes TO be con-
verted into a national bankI 30 days
notice shall be given by publication.
Mr.. Blount said that at present a
state bank may be converted into a
national bank over night. Another pro-
vision of this bill is that a state
bank cannot invest more than 80 per
cent of its capital and surplus in a
building without the consent of the
state banking commissioner, and only
'16 per cent in Furniture and fixtures.
The House passed finally the Quad
House bill carrying q supplemental APP
preparation of S213,294 to meet def.
ciencies existing in the state inStitu-
tons and departments for the past
fiscal year. The House committee
on appropriations reported favorably
on the Wood Senate bill. making an
appropriation of 100000 TO meet the
emergency needs of the state prison

system. The governor had recon.
mended S900,0OO but this was trim
med to 100000.
The Witt Senate bill, proposing
the creation of the Tenth Court of
Civil Appeals to be located at Waco,
was passed TO engrossment and third
reading "Wednesday evening in the
House. The bill is now up for final
passage and Representative Tom
Shires of Waco, stated there will be
no trouble in obtaining the final enact
ment of thN measure. The bill, as il
came from the Senate, carried an
amendment which proposed the re-
moval Of the first court Of civil APP
peals from Galveston TO Houston.
This amendment was eliminated from
the bill by amendment in the House.
There was also, adopted an amendment
which strikes Bell county from the
counties that Would compose the tenth
supreme judicial district.
Pass Pension Bills.
Two bills affecting Confederate vet
Grams were passed finally in the SEN
ate; one by Senator Davis extending
pension privileges to those veterans
residing in Texas in 1911. and the
other by Senator Fairchild, author
izing railroads to grant a one-cent
fare to veterans. At the present time
only veterans who have lived in Texas
since 1900 are entitled TO pensions.
The Senate concurred in the House
amendments to the ,Bledsoe sheriffs'
fee bill and now the measure goes TO
the governor for approval. The bill
increases the fees of sheriffs in the
smaller counties in the state.
The Parr, Senate bill exempting
Hidalgo county from the payment of
state ad valorem. taxes for a period
of % years, as flood control meas
ure. was passed finally in the House
during the afternoon session and as
soon as the Senate conchrs in the
House amendment, the measure viii

of Criminal Appeals. from $4,000 TO

was debated at length in the House.
Representative Pope thought that no
change should be made in the salary
of the first assistant until the end
of the present fiscal year and offered
an amendment to that effect. He did
not believe that the salary Of the
assistant attorney general in the Court
of Criminal Appeals should be fixed
by statute. Before action was taken
on the amendment Of the bill. the
House began the consideration of local
measures
Two proposed constitutional amend
ments of general Importance were
passed finally in the Senate during
the afternoon session. One was By

lishment of school districts. placing
such authority in county commission

Rurkett and proposes to authorize
the state TO issue bonds for road con-
struction. Both were adopted without
opposition.
