STATE SUPPORT
Bills Providing Upkeep of
Texas Government Oc-
cupy Houses

AUSTIN, July 11.-E9-Appro-
priations bills providing for support
or the state government during the
next two years held the spotlight
IN both houses today as legislators
began their fourth day of active
work during the session.
The senate yesterday paired ST.
100000 from its departmental mea-
sure which originally contained
S~l2,600,000 for support of the 80
departments of government.
Senator Tom Pollard, chairman
of the finance committee, declared
that while g sweeping cut was &C
complished lawmakers would find
1t imperative to put back almost
$l,OO0.000 when free conference
committees of the senate and house
discuss differences on the two
bills.
The house moved slower in con-
~sideration of its department appro-
priations, but managed to eliminate
an item of 100000 for purchase of
land around the Alamo. The bill
stood at $11,547, 744 when the days
work was finished.
Representative George G. Purl of
Dallas prepared amendments which
would lop $4,000 in travelling ex-
penses from the bill.

Valuation Decision
May be Boomerang
DIR. JOHN u

NEW YORK, July 11.-Private
ownership may get a jolt and gov
eminent ownership a boost as a
result Of the U. S. supreme court de-
cision in the O'Fallon easel
BY a queer shaping of events, the
O'Fallon decision, fought for vigor-
ously by the privately owned public
utility interests, may prove a BOOM
erang, and sWooping back, may &C
tually hasten the day Of utilities
owned and operated by the govern
ment.
This is the view of DR.. John
Bauer, director Of the American
Utilities bureau and public utilities
editor Of the National Municipal
Review.
The famous decision Of a few
weeks ago, holding that the law
requires consideration of reproduc-
ton costs as an element Of value
in railroad valuations, upset the eS-
tablished policy of the Interstate
Commerce commission and threw
the whole problem of rate-making
into confusion.
DIR. Bauer's View
IF government regulation of pri-
vately owned public utilities be-
comes an acknowledged failure, as
seems likely in the light of the
recent decision" DR.. Bauer declares
there is only one course left-gov-
eminent ownership.
"The success of the utilities be-
fore the courts in preventing the
establishment of effective regula-
ton will hardly serve the ultimate
interests of private ownership anC
operation" he warns.
The significance of the decision
lies not alone in it's effect upon the
policy of the Interstate Commerce
commission, DR.. Bauer points out
but in its simultaneous upheaval OF
existing tendencies in state regula-
ton of utilities.
There has been a growing feeling
that regulation must be reconstruct
ed placed upon a definite basis fol-
effective administration and the
maintenance Of necessary financial
stability" DR.. Bauer says.
State Regulation Doubtful
The program that has been pro-
posed and has received extensive
favor would virtually apply to the
utilities in general the policy adopt
ed by the Interstate Commerce com
mission In the O'Fallon case.
The O'Fallon decision now raises
the question whether, indeed. such
a policy expressly established by the
legislatures of the states would re-
ceive judicial approval.
Il have felt that it would be DOS
sible for state legislatures to put
regulation uoon a workable basis
and still believe that such positive

TREATING WHEAT, RYE
SEED PREVEN rs SMUT

Treating fall-sown wheat and rye
with copper carbonate dust will pre-
vent the sinking smut of wheat and
the flag smut of rye. There are sew
eral good smut preventives, but ex-
periments made at the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station show that copper
carbonate is one of the most salts
factory.
Seed may be treated any time be-
fore it is sown, but should first be
famed thoroughly to remove light
weight shriveled kernels and the
wheat. 1t is essential to use good
smut balls which may be present on
dust and to mix it thoroughly with
the seed, applying two ounces to each
bushel of grain. Good dust is fine
and fluffy, free from gritty particles,
and is smoot to the touch
If only small quantities of seed are
treated, the busting can be done in a
homemade device made on the prin-
ciple of a rotating barrel churn in
which battle boards have been placed.
A cement mixer or specially con-
structed busting machine is suitable
for treating large quantities. Every
kernel should be completely covered
with a fine layer of dust. This can
be accomplished by rotating the mix
er Is or 20 times for each seed lot.
Mixing the dust with the seed by
the shoveling method should not be
attempted says DR.. E. c. Stakman,
plant disease expert, University
Farm, since this method is not only
ineffective, but may cause the operator
to become sick from inhaling too
much dust. When using the copper
carbonate it is best to tie a moist
cloth or a gas mask over the face in
order to prevent unpleasant effects.
The copper carbonate dust method
may also be used for treating spring
sown seed. 1t will not prevent loose
smut of wheat which requires the
modified hot water treatment. Per-
sons wanting further information
may write the Plant Disease Depart
ment, University Farm, St. Paul.
