LIQUOR, OIL
AND RACING
IN SPOTLIGHT

AUSTIN, Feb. %. RJ-Legislation
On a host OF primary subjects, in
GLIDING oil and gas, public utilities,
relief, appropriations. taxation, pro-
hibition and race track wagering, will
occupy the legislative spotlight next
week.
OF major interest was prospective
action on Governor James v. Allred'S
oil states compact. The governor has
asked that the Texas legislature be
the first Of the oil states to approve
the agreement, signed by governors
and representatives Of the chief Pc
trolum producing areas.
Expect Bill Monday
A bill to ratify the compact will
be introduced Monday and may prec-
ipitate heated discussion. The COM
pact carried no provision for limit
Ing production to market demand.
The Texas market demand law will
expire next September and II was
speculated certain elements in the
industry might object to exclusion OF
this feature.
Governor Alfred worked over the
weekend on a special message on
taxation. 1t was reported he would
recommend numerous revisionS 70
strengthen existing tax laws and
suggest enactment OF an income tax.
The senate, barred from initiating
tax measures, had a special commit
tee at work On recommendations 10
the house. The house revenue and
taxation committee, slow to get un-
derway, planned TO hold meetings
nightly until its bulky calendar, con-
tanning bills estimated to raise APP
proximately SIS, 100000. Is cleared.
The battle will be renewed Tues
day night before the house state al
fairs committee at a hearing on the
Graves bill TO outlaw the pari mu-
tuel system. A third phase OF this
hot controversy will be a senate COM
mittee meeting Wednesday on a sim
liar bill.
Prohibition repeal, kept III the
background the first six weeks OF n
session, will come TO the front WIN
hearings before committees OF noth
houses on resolutions to submit THIS
issue TO a vote OF the people. Several
proposals were before a house ON
mittee, calling for votes In August
and November, 1885, and the gen.
eral election in 1886. Only n res
olution was in the senate. 1t would
provide FOR an election next August.
The house liquor traffic committee
DELAYED action on control bills un-
til the submission problem has been
worked out. Strong likelihood Of a
sharp break over control existed,
with one faction ~contending Tor a
state monopoly and another for prl-
vate operation under state supervls-
ion.

"If Mr.. Hoover in the White
House had done only a fraction Of
vhat Mr.. Hoover out Of the White
house now says should be done, he
would not have TO make such a
feeble attack on the Roosevelt ad-
ministration in his palpable and
pitiful effort to get back in the
white House"
Democratic Leader Robinson. said
in a statement that Mr.. Hoover
condemns what Is being done BY
the Roosevelt administration, but
makes no suggestion OF specific
measures or remedies pertaining to
the evils Of which he complains"
Republicans generally declined to
be drawn into the debate. although
Senator Hastings Of Delaware ap-
proved of the former presidents
statement and said the "old princi-
Piles" advocated by the republicans
still were sound.

Fruits Free
Entryinto Canada Is
Sought in Trade Pact

and others interested in the matter
in an attempt to bring the matter
to the attention Of the proper au-
horities.
A Canadian representative of the
Exchange some time ago advised
its officials that citrus fruits from
every producing country in the
world, except the United states,
were admitted into Canada with
out payment of duty and that
there seems TO be a feeling and
some talk Of the United States and
Canada getting together on q more
reasonable tariff arrangement"
In a letter to Secretary Hull,
Melden pointed out that Texas
grapefruit has been accepted favor
ably in the Canadian markets. that
Texas furnishes the size and va
riety and quality OF fruit that
pleaSes Canadian consumers. that
the tariff of rs cents per box on
Texas fruit entering Canada is a
penalty not charged against other
citrus-producing countries and that
Canada should be an important
outlet for Texas grapefruit because
Of its close proximity.
Senator Sheppard recently advis-
ed Shary that he was pleased TO
note the revival of interest in this
particular subject" and that he was
particularly interested in securing
the free entry OF grapefruit and
oranges into Canada.
Valley exports of grapefruit TO
Canada have dropped rapidly dur
ing the past three seasons. United
States Department Of Agriculture
reports for the last three season.
show that grapefruit shipments TO
Canada in the 1882 season
amounted 70 293 cars. During the
1928 season. only 80 car went
TO Canada. and in the l933-34 sea
son only % cars moved TO that
country.
While II is true. also according to
department OF agriculture records.
that total shipments Of grapefruit
declined steadily during those same
years because of smaller crops and
economic reasons. the percentage
Of decline indicates that something
more than ordinary business rea-
sons must have brought about the
comparatively sudden disappear
nee OF Texas citrus from the Cam
adam market. II is with a view
toward reopening that particular
market that the reciprocal trade
agreement suggestion has been for
warded to Washington officials BY
Shary and Melden.
