School Land Repurchase Law
Under Fire

And now the Texas school land repurchase law
enacted by the 41st legislature is under fire. An as
sistant to Atty. Gen. Robert Lee Bobbitt, after care
full research. brands IL as a nightmare" Asst. w.
w. Caves used the branding iron. There is an init
nation that if the repurchase law means what it
says it threatens to give millions Of dollars Of min
erals in the school lands.
A crafty press correspondent points out it puts
a premium upon the land buyers FORGETTING and re
buying the same land by making him an outright
donation OF 1916 Of all oil and gas in the land by
reason Of the repurchase." Another correspondent
lets ID be known that no patents will be issued "un-
til after the legislature has a chance to patch up
what appears to have been its coStliest error of all
time" He admits that patching the error will not
remedy the evil or wrong. since the actual repur-
chase and not the ministerial issuance Of a patent,
apparently. will establish the contract basis Of giving
the buyer the minerals as a bonus"
Gentlemen Of the legal profession. all democrats
Of various types, dominate the senate Of Texas;
gentlemen Of the legal profession. Of all brands and
factions, dominate the house Of the Texas legislature.
Why errors or jokeTs in laws enacted for the protec-
ton Of the people and their property? More fees for
the lawyers, more litigation for the courts. more
copy for the newspapers: and yet there are men
abroad in the land urging the defeat Of the legislative
amendment which would do away with rush legisla-
ton, which is costly legislation: do away with a wild
jam Of bills on closing day and do away with special
sessions.

trance? When viii they swat demagogues and the

acted laws Of a commonwealth?

The Once Over
THE UNSUNG HERO
Copyright, 1880. by The Associated Newspapers)
BY q. L PHILLIPS

1890, by The Associated Newspapers)
When the pop-eyed crowds are roaring.
And the pigskin heroes clash.
And the boys, hell-bent for scoring,
Let their heads and bodies crash.
Who's the fellow out there taking
Punishment SO carelessly,
And who's every bone is aching?-
It's the football referee!
When the punts afar go bounding,
Who must chase EN-, one and all?
When the scrimmage lines are pounding,
Who must dig and get the ball?
When the pigskin then is fumbled
Who must drive in fearlessly
And beneath the pack be huddled?
Why, the football referee.
When a penalty is posted.
Who's the guy put ION the spot?
Who's the fellow who gets roasted
In a case when it is not?
Who's the wonder man expected
Each and every play TO see?
CWho by both sides is suspectedO
Why, the football referee.
Who must wear white linen Knockers
When the fields a sea Of mud
And endure the laughs and smokers
When he slips with quite a thud?
Who gets nothing but deriSion
When he's tossed upon his ear?
Who gets panned for each decision?
It's the referee, old dear.
Who must stay in there and take 1t
TIL the final whistles blown,
And when feeling groggy, shake it
And emit no squawk or groan?
Who no substitute may call for
Though he's fading rapidly.
And no rest may ever stall for?-
Mister Football Referee!
Who discovers very early
In the game that he is far
From the youngster. young, strong and burly,
That he once was, when a star?
Who discovers that his bellows
Aren't what they used TO be
And that age has got him, fellows?
Why, the football referee.
Who hears no one sing his praises
And just never takes a bow.
Though in footballs hottest phases
He gets smacked about-and howl
When the stirring contests ended.
Who's the guy who YEARLY
Leaves uncheered and unattended?
It's the football referee.
When the players take to heaving
Forward passes all about.
Who gets exercise most grieving
To a man who's somewhat stout?
Who appears TO be so weary
He would like to climb a tree7
Whose dogs" burn and pain him, dearie?
Just the football referee!
Who's supposed to know what's doing
Each split second Of the game?
Who's supposed to take the booing
And know nothing Of acclaim?
Who's supposed to keep quite cool, boys,
And in each emergency
Know the LATEST FOOTBALL RULE, boys?
Why, that "goat"-the referee.
