VALUATION
OF BONDS TO
Be BY VOTER
-Eero,,son
Former Governor Says
Each District May
Validate Its Road
Bond Issues

AUSTIN, Texas, June 81 (P)-Texas
road district bonds can be validated
only by vote Of the people in the dis
tricts involved. James f. Ferguson
declared today.
what | want and what the COVER
nor wants is to pass a law referring
the question of validating these
bonds back to the people and if they
then vote to validate these bonds
then the objection raised by the su-
preme court of the United States
has been met. and the credit of the
state has been restored" he said
Validity Of $lOO.O00,000 road bonds
was jeopardized by the decision of
the United States supreme court in
the Archer county case.
The former governors statement,
explaining his speech at Wichita Falls
last week follows in part:
"The bond validation crowd are at
tempting to misrepresent the gov
ernor's attitude on the issue. The
held that the Archer county bonds
were void and unconstitutional. This
being so | was eminently correct
when | said that the court had held
that the people do not owe these
bonds. II the court has not said 50
then what is the validation crowd
kicking about?
IL repeat that these bonds cannot
be validated without the vote of the
people. This bill submitted by the
Eastern bond attorneys to the gov
ernor does not provide for a vote OF
the people who live in the districts
the bonds were issued
IF Kemp and Moody want to say
that the people should not be given
chance TO pass on this question
then let them say so and then the
people will know where TO place them
They propose something that does
not meet the objection of the su-
preme court and that also seeks ia
deprive the people Of each road dis
trict of right which the court says
cannot be taken away from them.
"The Kemp Moody crowd propose
no legal valuation while the gov.
ernor proposes legal valuation. That
is the difference. At the proper time
the legislature can take care of this
question.
''Tf these bond buyers and bond
brokers will stop slandering the
state by talking about reputation
nobody else will think about it,

Only a hint Of such national issues
as prohibition and farm relief stirred
the surface Of campaigning incident

beer He also came out for placing
agriculture on an equal basis with
industry.
The third candidate, F. W. Snyder
backs the prohibition law. OF con
gressional candidates in other nine
districts six incumbcnts were un-
opposed for denomination.
OF chief interest to the state it.
self. however, was the outcome Of
the races for the major state offices,
including governor.
Governor Theodore Christianson
was opposed for the republican gu
bernatorial nomination by Mayor
George +. Leach of Minneapolis.
Magnus Johnson, former United
States senator from Minnesota, i
running for governor on the farmer
labor ticket. He is opposed by Tom
Davis, Minneapolis attorney. Davis
was endorsed by the non-partisan
league association, while Johnson
has the backing of the farmer-labor
group.
The democrats presented an un-
opposed slate and therefore did not
appear on ballots.

tion was not valid the contractors de-
cided to 90 ahead on their own re-
sponsibility and start making the I'M
provements before the second cleo
