CONGRESS GIVEN PLANS
FOR REMODELING WORK
Senate Office Building Would Be
Changed to Conform With
Federal Development.

Plans for remodeling the Senate
Office Building, an appropriation for
which was recommended by the Budget
Bureau for the coming fiscal year, have
been presented to Congress in q report
by David Lynn, Capitol architect.
The report shows how the building
would be enlarged by adding a new
wing on the First street side, ard also
describes how the north front of the
building would be given a new archi-
tectural treatment to make it conform
with the position it will occupy when
the Capitol grounds are extended to
Union Station.
The plans contained in the report
were submitted by the firm of Carrere
e. Hastings, New York. The amount
recommended in the budget for this
project was $2,7O0,0Oo.

THE HERRING SITUATION .

In 1919 Herring Johnson appeared before the Legislature and told them that the Herring of Alaska cannot be depIated' and convinced the Le- giSlatOrs that he knew his business.
 At that time, GaStineau Channel was an i'm pOrtant herring spawning area.
 Tn 1927 before the Legislature this same Herring Johnson said Tt is possible to deplete the herring supply But I call your attention to the fact that it is only the LOCAL, herring that can be and are depleted. By local herring l mean herring that are localized about certain bays.'
 Now comes MT. Rounsfel of the Bureau of Fisheries in the Pacific Fisherman, and he says ALI ALASKA HERRING ARE LOCAL HERRING, and in that respect differs from the Norwegian herring"
 One thing that no can deny and that is that in many large areas the Herring are already destroyed and with their destruction have disap- peared all the trollers
 We suppose the legislators will consider these facts when they come to the tax on fertilizers (noW called chicken feed) made from Herring

ELECTING SCHOOL TEACHERS

 Promptly, Mir. A. E. Karnes the superntend- ent of the local schools got up and said: No. That wouldn't be right. The tendency is all the other way. State superntendents are being ap- pointed more and more and I believe that is the right way"
 Then little while later MT. Karnes addressed the chair and demanded a vote on the motion, That the Ketchikan P. T. A. endorse the candi- dacy of Lester D. Henderson for reappointment to the office of Commissioner of Education."
 In other words, MT. Karnes says that Com missioner of Education should of right be appoint ed, but still he insists that in Eenderson's case perhaps we had better let the Ketchikan P T. A. elect him.
 THE MARCH OF WORKDIENs CoMPENsATlo
 North Carolina last week passed a .Workmen's compensation act. Payments are fixed at 60 per cent of the wage, with Q maximum of SIS per week. The maximum compensation for disability is $500, and for death, $6 GOO.
 As it stands, the law is frankly a compromise It was held up for a time by ambulance-ch lawyers and reactionary employers, and some con- sessions had to be made But circumstances are such that the passage of this law is more import ant than it's exact terms.
 Until last week, there were five states with no compensation laws, the two Carolinas, Arkansas Florida and Mississippi. Now there are only four

SALARY QUESTION UP
FOR VOTE SIXTH TIME

AUSTIN, July
the number of supreme court JUS
tees shall be increased from three
to nine and the salary of the gov
ernor raised from $4,000 to $4,000
annually will be determined tomor-
row when Texans ballot at a special
election on two proposed amend
ment to the state constitution.
Both were sanctioned by the 41St
legislature at its regular session and
passed on to the voters for final
approval.
Temporarily to aid the situation,
the legislature created the six mem
Der commission Of appeals, but
while the commission may make
recommendations, it is not vested
with authority to pass finally on any
case.
For the sixth time, taxpayers will
be called upon to express their
views at the ballot box on an in
crease Of the governors salary.
Two years ago a raise for the chief
executive was voted down when an
attempt was made to set the sal
airy at $4,000.
The governors salary increase, if
carried, will not go into effect I'M
til the beginning Of the next admin
iStration.

is defeated he will continue to re-
ceive compensation which does not
compare f%avorably with the remu-
neration of the more important
county officials of the state.
The other amendment would in
crease the supreme court to a nine
jurist body. There are three judges
now and six assistants. The new ar
rangement would merely serve to
make the work Of the six assistants
official and give them equal rank
with the present three judges. At
present the judges review the de-
cisionS Of the assistants and there
by much hard work is wasted. There
would be no increase in expense, as
salaries would remain the same as
at present.
Polls open at the usual places at
8 a. m. and remain open until 7
p. m. Vote for both issues if you
agree with state leaders that they
are good meaSures-but be sure to
cast a vote.

FINAL ACTION
DUE ON BILLS

AUSTIN, July 15.-P-Back at
their desks today, members of the
legislature were ready to act finally
on appropriation bills agreed by
conferees from the two houses and
to pass on suggestions advanced bv
Governor Moody for protection of
excess school lands having potential
oil possibilities.
After three days elaboration
committees reached agreements on
the amounts to be appropriated for
state schools and departments of
government when it seemed a dead
lock could not be averted. A cut of
approximately $4,000 was made in
the former bill by eliminating build
ings proposed for A. & M. College
and John Tarleton Agricultural Col
lege of St~ephenville, bringing the
bill to a total slightly under $16,-
500, 200.
Exact amount cut from the de-
partmental bill could not be deter
mined Immediately. chairmen of the
finance committees said. The meas
ure, it was believed, was reduced be-
tween 100000 and 100000. One Of
the largest items cut from senate
departmental bill was $125,000 for
each of the two years of the BIZ
ennium for purchase of property
near the Alamo in San Antonio.
Bills were expected to be intro
duced reserving from sale vacancies
created through improper surveys OF
University-owned property in West
Texas. The governor pointed out in
his message that the land might be
bought on the basis Of surface
value. despite the fact it was under
laid with oil or other minerals.

oPOA
If there was any further doubt
that the acquisition of Frank Snyder
as manager has made a pennant
contending club out Of the Fort
Worth Kittens, it would seem to
have been removed by events of the
weekend.
What was heralded as a crucial
series at Shreveport has been turned
into a rout of the Phelanites, and
the cats today stood at the top of
the heap alongside the Waco Cubs,
who likewise found the San Antonio
entry to their taste. One game re-
manned to be played in each series
today.
Yesterdays twin killing of the
Sports marked the Panthers' fifth
win in six starts against two clubs
regarded as the most powerful in
the loop, they having taken two out
of three from the SpudderS. 1t also
marked the fourth straight series
which the Cubs have put on the
right side of the ledger. Both clubs
apparently are deadly in earnest
about this second half.
1t took four Cat twirlers to defeat
the Sports in the first game of their
Sunday bargain bill, 9 to 7. Wilbur
Cooper had the Felines puzzled until
the seventh, when they hoped on
him for six runs. They drove him
from the hillock with two more in
the eighth. The second tilt was a
pitchers duel, in which Buzz Phillips
shaded Williamson, l to 0.
Caldwell and Harris gave spark
ling mound performances as the
Cubs trounced the Tribe twice, 8
to 3 and z to 1. Caldwell limited
the Braves to five hits in the first
and was helped along by Bob San
guinet, who poled his tw~enty-fourth
and twenty-fifth home runs.
Five thousand fans crammed
Stuart Stadium to see the Exporters
take their second straight from the
Bluffs, 8 to 8. The Shippers found
Paul Wachtel an open book and de-
lighted the populace with IA hits.
The downtrodden Steers squared
their series with the Spuds, 6 to 8,
after an. early attack that drove Milt
Steengrafe to the showers. Whitley
Glazner, crowned by a batted ball
in his last previous appearance
against the Oilers, came back to
hold the north countrymen to seven
