COURT VOIDS
LAND PLANK
Hold Law Advocated BY
James E. Ferguson Un-
constitutional

AUSTIN, June l9.-tPi-The So
called Ferguson land plank" ad-
vocated by former Gov. James Z.
Ferguson in his first campaign for
office and enacted into law by the
legislature in 1915, was held void
and Of no effect in its entirety by
the supreme court today.
The court decided that the
amendment. attached to the land
lords lien article. was violative Of
the state and federal constitutions.
The amendment fixed a standard
rental for farm tenants, providing
that where the tenant furnished
everything but the land the land
lord could not charge rent in excess
of one-third Of the grain and one
fourth of the cotton produced. and
where the landlord furnished every
thing except the labor he should not
charge the tenant more than one
half of the crop as rental.
Decision OF the court restores the
law back to its original status. as IL
had stood since 1874 until the 1915
amendment merely providing that
the landlord should have a prefer
ence lien upon the property Of a
tenant to secure payment of rem
tai due.

Nelson was 70 years old. Not
so long ago he lived at a home
for old folks, but he ran away.
He said he couldn't stand charity
any longer.
He had a little money. and he
engaged a small room at ho-

money. There was none for food;
but al least he was able to put
forth the appearance Of a man
who did not have to live on
charity.
Yesterday he stood at the win
dow Of a delicatessen. The odor
Of food came through the open
door from the steam tables. His
eyes feasted on the tempting
window display He fell in a
faint, and died without regaining
consciousness.
Doctors said 1t was starvation.
