TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Tho 4lst LEGISLATURE

The ncT-2apc. Of Texas are announcing III no
uncertao terms their individual and collective opin-
joins Of the Forty-first legislature-and those opin-
ions are not such as would add to the peace OF mind
Of political leaders who are directly responsible for
the most pronounced legislative debacle in the his
tory Of the state.
From the outset it was evident that it was to be a
political session. With an eye on the u. S. senator
ship, governorship and other political positions, which
Will be at the disposal of The electorate in 1880. many
Of the so-caled leaders devoted their time and such
few talents as they possess to "~jockeying Tor posi-
ton"
The demands of the public for constructive legis-
Iation passed unheeded. Political aspirations and
ambition held full sway. and the session has closed
with q remarkable record of non-achievement.
None Of the would-be guides of the states political
d~esttinies have added TO their folloWingS or prestlge;
and the reverse is true with most Of them. They
have not denoted those qualities Of leadership winch
would cause the electorate of Texas TO repose great
confidence in them or endow them with greater hon
ors. IN fact, with the exception of a few OF the odd
war horses" leadership was a minus quantity, ana
never in the history Of the state has a legislature run
wild to the same degree as the Firty-first.
AT no time has the need for constructive legisla-
ton been greater. Texas, on the verge OF the great
est period Of development in its history, would o.
rive incalculable benefits from a connected system OF
state highways: modification of various laws which
are obsolete and interfer with state progress; pass
age Of new legislation to meet new conditions ana
pave the way for future progress.
The legislature, looking through the political Knot
hole, could not see the vast panorama OF development
that constructive legislation would make possible. It's
vision was obscured by the senatorial toga, the COVER
nor's chair and the array Of state offices, which ap-
parently appeared Of far more Importance to them
than the welfare of Texans and development of the
great resources of the state.
What the special session will bring forth only time
can tell. But if its labors are productive OF no bet
ter results than the regular session, those leaders VINO
are expecting to curry the favor Of the Texas cleo
torate in 1880 will find their political ambitions ex-
tren7elv difficult to materialize.

cation Of Oregon experts and citrus growers ex-
changes, long ago made fruit an indispensable part
of the American morning menu, and the increasing
incapacity of the desk worker to digest an old-fash-
Toned tableful has cut the menu bit by bit. A few
supersophisticated travellers return from Europe
pleading inability to get beyond coffee and toast; but
Europe, in simple truth, knows very little about
breakfast. The glory of the morning meal, as Amer
leans have discovered in the last two decades, is the
grapefruit, and the rest of breakfast is a mere array
Of side dishes.
In Paris. in peace conference days, one American,
in bed with the "flu," begged another to find him
grapefruit. And the other searched all Paris, and fl
nally discovered a dealer in exotic fruits who had
met the grapefruit in America, found it succulent,
and imported young trees to his orchards in Anjou.
They were doing, he said, excellently; he hoped that
in another year they might bear fruit.
Today there is grapefruit in all the big Paris no.
tels-for Americans. There is grapefruit in London
for Americans. 1t is the bright, particular star of
the American breakfast table, the great discovery Of
visiting Europeans, ranked next to the New York sky
line among the wonders Of the new world.
Senator Reed may go home to Kansas City re-
assured. Herbert Hoover is in the White House, but,
despite all his years Of residence abroad, he eats an
American breakfast. He has been misled neither by
the kippered herring Of London, nor by the Cont
mental croissant. Grapefruit, bacon and eggs. coffee
and toast-that is the presidential menu, and it is in
dubitably 1929 American.

REASONABLE RATES FOR CREDIT AT ALL
NIanES NNnECASI
BY ROY a. YOUNG
Governor Federal Reserve Board.

Z = NANAG AN@JI - 0oNA0
Troy Archibald Young was born at Madquette.
Mich, May II, 1882. He obtained a high school
education and in 1900 began as q messenger III
the First National bank at Marquette. He be-
came assistant cashier and later held the same
position with the First National bank at Lake
Linden, Mich. From 1913 to 1917 he was vice
president Of the Citizens National bank at
Eoughtcn. Mich. He was named governor Of the
Federal Reserve bank at Minneapolis in 1919 and
Is now governor Of the Federal Reserve board TT
Washington.
The year 1928. the year covered BY the 18th annual
report Of the Federal Reserve board, has been a year
OF active business. Of continued growth in the demand
for credit. and Of a rising level Of money rates. In
dustrial activity, which had receded in the latter part
Of 1927, recovered and reached new high levels in
1928.
Agriculture production was large. and the income
CT farmers was ct about the same level as the year
before. The flow of commodities through the chan
nels Of trade to consumers kept pace with production,
and there was no accumulation Of inventories.
Commodity prices. which had begun to advance
in the summer Of 1927. Continued to rise through
most of 1928. but receded in the lest Quarter OF the
wear. and in December were at the same level as 70
the close Of the preceding year.
Gold Withdrawals on a large scale and continued
growth OF bank credit resulted In an increased de-
mand for reserve bank credit and. owing to security
sales by the reserve banks. in an even larger N
crease OF indebtedness OF member banks.
AS a consequence, money rates advanced to the
highest level in seven years. Rate advances, however.
were much sharper for loans on securities than for
commercial loans. and there was no evidence OF IN
favorable effects Of higher money rates on trade and
industry.
During the year much progress was made in mon
etary and financial reconstruction in foreign coun-
tries, and the establishment Of the international
GOLD standard was rracticai1v COMPLETED.
In the future banking and credit policies Of the
Federal Reserve board will be based on broader de-
velopments and longer time ~objectives than day-to-
day or month-to-month changes, and a continuous
provision Of credit at reasonable rates will be made
available to commerce and industry.

BY DR.. ALVIN T.. BELL

The Sabbath is one Of the earth'S
Oldest institutions, having its ORR
gin at the very close Of Gods crea-
tive work. The Creator evidently
understood mans need and ordain-
ed a day of rest to meet this need,
not as an additional burden, but as
a blessing, For in six days Jeho-
yah made heaven and earth /.
and rested the seventh day:
wherefore Jehovah blessed the
Sabbath day. and hallowed it,"
Properly used and not abused it is
one Of the best friends Of the toll
ing passes, and should be safe
guarded as such. not for the ad-
vantage Of the church bu for the
blessing Of humanity.
Extreme Standardization
The Sabbath's worst enemies have
often been among those processing
to haIlow it. 1t has been abused
by a mere mechanical and legalis-
tic observance devoid Of the spirit
of the Gay. In no other point did
our Lord receive more frequent or
severe criticism from his enemies
than on the point of Sabbath OBJ
servance. The commandment of
Moses had been numbered with a
maze of petty ordinances restrict
ing human activity on the Sabbath
day. They criticized Him for His
miracles Of healing on the Sab
bath and for permitting his dis
cipleS to pluck a few heads Of
grain and rub out the wheat to
satisfy their hunger on this day.
But Jesus had no sympathy with
their scrupleS. He issued no list
Of petty restrictions, but laid down
a broad, positive fundamental
guiding principle which ne answer
ed: The Sabbath was made for
man, and not man for the Sab
bath: therefore the Sen Of Man
is Lord also on the Sabbath They
are wrong who would restrict con-
duct on the Sabbath as to rob it
Of all JOY for man Or child and
make it a day to be dreaded. This
is the day the Lord hath made, let
US rejoice and be glad III it."

Hurrying Farm Relief

Republican leaders have announced that a farm
relief measure will be passed within a week or ten
days after the special session convenes on April To-
Senator NcNary. chairman Of the senate committee
On agriculture. stated he expects to rush a bill
through the senate within a week. and Representative
Bertrand H.. Smell of New York, chairman OF the
house rules committee, asserted the house would pass
some kind Of agricultural bill" in a week or ten days.
Senator McNary, one Of the authors Of the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill, announced that the bill penang
before the senate in the recent session would be USED
as thu basis VI action III the senate committee on ag-
ricultue. He asked the president to indicate IN due
course to the committee, or to himself as chairman,
what failures he desired to have Incorporated in the
proposed legislation.
The president is understood to look with favor On
The McNary measure. IN fact, it was the understand
inc in the recent session that the bill, to q large eX-
tent. represented his views and tho5 Of w. M jar
din. then secretary CT agriculture

tent cannot be determined until his recommends

the McNarv bill doubtless wil be usd as the basis

It Is generally understood that many Of it's provisions

The McNary bill provides for q farm board and

law. The measure also provides for loans Of govern
stabirzation corporations, to enable them to bring
about ORDERLY marketing Of products. a revolving
fund Of $1,000 eco also is provided, and this prom
ises W be- the principal subject for controversy.
The general attitude Of congressman and senators
would indicate that upon President Hoover will fall
the duty Of framing farm relief legislation. Demo-
cratic leaders are making no statements, pending
submission Of the completed bill. However, III view
Of the support the democrats rendered the McNary-
Tareen bill and the announcement that they would
e,,nnort the constructive features Of the Hoover pro-
grarn. it is apparent that very little opposition will
enaanatc from that source.
One feature that is causing some apprehension in
agricultural ranks is the fact that leaders Of both
houses are evidcncing a desire to rush the measure
through. Various farm journals take the view that
the measure should be carefully considered. pointing
out that it is vital to the industry and that any de-
feet which might be cause by hasty action would I'M
pair the working Of the measure.
