A Plank From the Democratic
Platform

There is a legislature grinding. That is it win be
grinding Justify when the new rules are hammered into
fashion. This Is q plank from the Galveston plat
form, The eight-hour law should be amended and
made to effectively apply to labor on all public works.
a minimum wage law for the protection Of women and
children in industry is the necessity Of the time. More
liberal appropriations are due to the state labor de-
partment and measures should be adopted to better
protect employees in dangerous occupations. Employees
on highways should be protected BY some form Of COM
pensation insurance. This Is essential in view or the
fact that limitations in the constitution prohibit the
legislature from making provision for the dependent
families Of public employees who are injured in public
work" Former Gov. Dan Moody in his farewell adj
dress directed the attention Of the lawmakers to the
labor plank. Gov. Ross s. Sterling, in his inaugural
address. made sweeping Endorsement Of the plan.
Lawmakers make laws. Now what are they going 10
do with the platform planks Of their party?

Eleven Texas cities spent nearly S90,000.000 ON
new buildings and repairs Of old during 1880 and more
than one-third Of the total was for new homes and
new apartments record that seems good for a good
year ami phenomenal for a poor year-if 1890 really
was that" IS the verdict Of a publicity writer. His
figures are from the bureau OF labor statistics In the
federal department Of lar-r. This is the list OF ii
cities AZ they ran II teal amount expended H0us-
ton. san Antonio. Fort Worth. Dallas. Austin. ri Paso.

There appears to be a mental depression In Texas
as well Is a slight financial depression. Think of
this taken from a report issued b. the American Mo-
florists association: Texas has an automobile for
each 3.93 inhabitants as compared with an average
for the United States OF one for each AS inhabitants"
It must be true that Texas is the big white spot on
the map OF America regardless Of the announcement
that the Red Cross IS feeding $4,000 Texas farmers
and their families. There is a reason for Il. Close
to 70 per cent OF the cotton producers Of Texas are
landless. They are tenants and. they exc out q pre-
carious existence from cradle to grave. However.
they are the owners Of automobiles and gas costs
