MOODY PLANS
TO FIGHT FOR
PRISON BE
Governor Is to Rally
Forces For Passage
Of Centraliza t i o n
Act This Session
By R. W. BARRY
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
AUSTIN, Feb. 9.—Off)—Governor
Moody h»« his heart set en prison
centralization and he is going to do
his best to make the present legis
lature see it his way. Not to the
extent of coercion, but through ex
planation of his plans to win over
opponents to his ideas of how the
reorganization and concentration
should be done will he act.
^ ith the Holbrook bill, approved
by the governor, all but rejected by
the senate committee, the governor
rallied his friends to its support
with the result it has been passed
out favorably.
The house committee preferred
the Younger-Turner-Loy measure
providing for concentration on the
seven farms below Houston with the
centra! plant on the Darringt n
farm in Brazoria county, to the
Holbrook companion bill, sponsored
in the house by Graves of William
son and Hubbard of Bowie, who by
the way, are fast taking places a,
house administration leaders—hut
the governor’s measure has been or
dered printed there on minority re
port.
To Address Legislature
The senate committee had report
ed favorably the Cousins bill, senate
companion to the Young-Turner-Loy
version in the house, previous to its
aetion in recommending the Hol
brook draft, thus bringing about a
dilemma that might amount to noth
ing more than one of the two bills
being considered on minority report.
At any rate, the legislature will
take its choice between the two mea
sures and Governor Moody will ask
that he one he favors be given first
consideration.
He ia preparing a message to the
legislature which will convey his
thoughts and wishes in plain lan
guage on prison and other subjects ,
of legislation. He probably will de
liver it in person Monday and his '
friends believe it will be the stroke
that may not only drive homo ad
ministration prison legislation, but
warm up the state-wide bond issue.
.. Hopes for Highway Proposal ..
The governor wants the prison
beard, attorney general, speaker of
the house and president pro tern of
the senate empowered to survey the
prison situstion and determine the
course to follow concerning reor
ganization and concentration.
The opposing bill would direct
thst certain properties now owned
•oath of Houston bs maintained and
empower the prison board to carry
out its ideas of concentration on
these lands.
Concerning the highway situation,
the governor retain* confidence
thet the legislature will submit a
proposed constitutinal amendment so
thst the people may pass on it. The
plsn is still before the legislature, in
the senate by favorable committee
report and in the house through
minority report.
The governor Is claiming 18 sen
ators as ready to voto for the reso
lution submitting the amendment
and only three more are needed to
give it the two-thirds majority in
that branch.
In the house some opponents of
the bond issue claim it cannot pass.

extra session of the new congress to

MERCEDES TO
BE BEAUTIFIED
Plan For Highway and
Texas Avenue Is
Sent to Women
(Special to The Herald)
MERCEDES, Feb. ;).—The Busi
ness and Proiessional Women's club
of this place, have just received a
communication from Major Edward
A. Wood, city planning engineer of
Dallas, tnat he is immediately send
ing plans for the beautification of
the highway from bridge to bridge,
through Mercedes and '1 exas avenue,
from the highway mouth.
During the gardening and land
scape school recently conducted here
by the club Major Wood was pres
ent and was employed to draw up a
plan for the streets, the club being
assured of aid by the city.
The beautification pians propose
widening the highway to 100 feet
from bridge to bridge, by placing a
Jo-foot building line on each side of
the street from Oregon avenue to
Washington avenue, and a 10-foot
building line from Washington ave- j
nue to the eastern city limits, ac
cording to Major Wood in a letter
to the club. It is porposed to orna
ment the boulevard from Oregon to I
Texas avenue, and from Texas ave-;
nue to Illinois avenue, the same
method of ornamentation applying
to Texas avenue from Second street
to the southern city limits.
Major Wood has also submitted
sketches for the depressions at each
entrance to the city, calling for ten
nis courts, planting of trees, sodding
of slopes and draining.
The yard beautification contest is
underway, a contest sponsored annu
ally by the club.
Farmer Problem
Lies In Dealers,
Rails, Man Avers I
To The Herald:
Cabbage is four cents a pound here
(Highland, 111.» Is the producer get
ting fcis part of $*0 a ton? No, i do ,
not think he is, considering his in
vestment. labor and money spent.
Who gets the balance? The railroads
for getting it to market, the commis
sion men who buy it from the farmer
and the commission men at the other
end who sells it to the jobber and
finally the retail fruit and vegetable
dealer all have to be paid, but am
afraid some are too well paid for
their time and trouble, so well the
consumer thinks the farmer is get
ting rich while they can hardly af- j
ford to buy it.
I do not think Mr. Hoover needs j
to spend much time investigating at
the starting point. From the way !
railroad stocks are selling and in- i
creasing in value it might be well !
to start with the common carriers
and go on until the cabbage or com
modity has reached the consumer.
Our winter, so far. has been quite ]
mild, the thermometer only regis- |
taring zero a time or so, but we had ,
more moisture in January, I think, j
than any previous January I recall, i
Would like very much to visit the !
\ alley and hope it will be my good
luck to have this opportunity and I
pleasure another winter.
We never see any Texas citrus j
fruit up here. I think if some mem
ber of your chamber of commerce
wmuld come to St. Louis and get t
some commission houses to handle
Valley fruits and to advertise them I
your chamber of commerce would be j
doing a wise thing and W'ould re
ceive the thanks of your growers and
the consumer as well.
Very t-uly yours.

WILD SPECULATION KILLS
HUNGARIAN STOCK TRADING
AND SHUTS ALL EXCHANGES)
The fttoek exchange in Rudapeat, which has been abandoned.
BUDAPEST, Feb. 8. -OV- Hun
gary's wheat, metal, rubber and
other exchanges, once the scenes of
wild trading, now are abandoned and
the government has decided to rent
the buildings as public offices in
order to obtain revenue.
The Budapest Stock Exchange,
one of tho finest and largest build
ings of its kind in Eiurope and
costing $3,003,000 when it was erect
ed in 1012, today is a “white ele
phant’’ to the exchange committee
which owns it, for stock trading
transactions are few.
Hungarian investors have bad an
unpleasant experience with specula
tion. When the Hungarian crcwn
crashed everyone who held paper
crowns bought stocks. Prices rose,
trading expanded a-:d bucket shops
flourished, the buying wave reach
ing its crest in 1924.
A Irrgo number cf securities of
doubtful quality had found their
way into the market and in their in
discriminate buying investors ac
quired many which proved worth
less. The reaction was as violent
as the rise, and with the stabiliza
tion of the crown the investing pub
lic lost its appetite for speculation.
Today the number of stocks dealt
in on the Budapest Exchange is
less than 300 as against several
thousand before the war. Many are
chares of companies which stand on
their last legs and have no mar
ket. There are no buyers of high
grade storks, and the price trend
since 1021 has been downward.
Hundreds of bucketshops have been
eliminated and even banks of high
stand:ng have failed, unable to meet
the expense of keeping large staffs
for dealing with light business.
Before the war “Freedom Square,"
which is Hungary's Wall Street and
site of the National Bourse, was
noted for the number and varying
rationalities of those who operated
there. Today not a soul breaks the
monotony. Few old-time profes
sional brokers buy or sell, for
stock price movements are so small
r.nd irregular they do not cover
brokerage fees.

1930 IS SEEN
Killing of Conscience
Bill to React Love
Declares
AUSTIN, Feb. 9.—WP>—The Texas
senate set up the principal issue in
the gubernatorial campaign of 1930
when ft killed the “freedom of con
science" bill yesterday. Senator
Thomas B. Love of Dallas, its author,
declared in a prepared statement to
“My freedom of eonsrience bill in
the state senate is dead, but ‘free
dom of conscience’ in Texas is not
dead”. Love said. “The freedom of
conscience democrats in Texas have
just begun to fight. I predict there
will he a freedom of conscience dem
ocratic candidate for governor in
the campaign of 1930.
R>' this, I mean a candidate who
wjll declare hia purpose to write in
the statutes of Texas an unequivocal
provision guaranteeing freedom of
conscience in all political parties in1
this state. I further predict that he
will be elected by a substantial ma
jority over the candidate of tl» A!
Smith forces.”
"I hope not”, was his reply when
asked if he would be the candidate.
He declare-! that even though Sen
ator Martin should pass his bill bar
ring iron tbe democratic primary
ballot the name of anyone as a can
didate who last November bolted the
party and voted for the republican
nominees, it would be held “void".
“I am reasonably sure the legisla
ture will not vote for it, though”, he
added.
“Anyway, Inside or outside the
democratic party, the ‘freedom of
conscience’ folks have a majority in
Texas and they will elect their gov
ernor and put a stop to all this ‘fool
ishness’ ”.
