HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 14.--A

Thos engaged in raising a
$3.50, 900 fund to defray the
states share Of the cost of

The matter has been passed up to
Attorney General Moody for decision.

been created by a legal opinion that
the next legislature cannot legally make
an appropriation to meet any obligation
that has been previously incurred. ~
Meantime the state sanitary livest6ck
commission Is urgently insisting that
Iit must have funds to meet the federal
goyernment in paying for cattle, while

it toward the coast on dog sledges since
1923. Great difficulty was encounter

Sokongen.
