| Senate to Seek to Enact
Emergency Measure Cut
I By Governor Moody
l -
AUSTIN. March 8.—UP)—’The sen
\ ate will take up today the vetoed
\ emergency education appropriation
' bill. The governor yesterday re
I duced the aggregate sum it carried
from $1,447,607.17 to $291,502.52. Ke
left untouched the 1928 summer
: school items for Texas colleges, the
■ $175,000 1928 rural aid deficiency;
j provision and a $12,000 appropri
, ation for streets and a drainage sys
tem for John Tarleton agricultural
college.
An apparent deficit in the general
revenue fund on next August 31,
precluded approval of the bill un
less- the legislature finds other
serfy of revenue, Governor Moody
sate’fa his veto message.
"There arc but two things ihatj
can be done, either these appropri
ations must be cut down or you must
find other sources of revenue to
meet the payment of your appro
priations.” he said.
Senator Tom Pollard, chairman of
the senate finance committee, and
author of the bill, had consideration
of the pared measure set for soecial
order this afternoon. The belief, is
however, that rehabilitating the bill
will be left to a special session.
: Quoting figures from the comp
troller’s office, the governor stated
that had the legislature not made
any appropriations, the cash balance
in the general revenue fund at the
end of the biennium on August 31
| would have been $1,924,750.43. He
said appropriations made by this
legislature aggregated $2,183,629.32.
He pointed out the $200,000 rural
air item for the year ending August
31, 1929, would be taken care of at
the special session, suggesting there
is then would be “some opportunity
to more nearly approximate the
amount needed.”
In vetoing the $300,000 apropri
ation to guarantee a term of six
months to rural schools, the govern
or said the sum proposed as “based
upon a theory that the additional
schools asking for rural aid will ne
cessitate a 20 per cent increase In
the appropriation made by the 40th
legislature for this purpose.” He
gave it as his opinion that $200,000
would be enough for this.

FIRST CABINET
MEET CALLED
.." "
Transfer of Dry Enforce
ment to Justice Bureau
To Be Discussed
WASHINGTON. March 8.—(JP)—
The group of men selected by Pres
ident Hoover to act as his official
advisors in conducting the business
of the government was called to
gether today for the first cabinet
meeting of the r.ew administration.
Several problems lay before the
cabinet. Among these was a dis
cussion of the best method of trans
ferring many of the duties of the
prohibition bureau from the treas
ury to the justice department, the
activities of Elihu Root at Geneva
in attempting to clear the way for
American adherence to the world
court, and the Mexican revolution
about which Secretary Kellogg, con
tinuing at his post until Henry L.
Slimscn arrives from Manila, is
known to have felt some concern.
Since Mr. Hoover declared himself
in favor of giving to the department
of justice a large portion of the du
ties of the prohibition bureau now
resting with the treasury depart
ment. the question has arisen
whether the transfer can be affect
ed by executive order or whether
legislative action is necessary. The
president was expected to ask At
torney General Mitchell for an ad
visory ruling on this point.
Mr. Hoover also is faced with
making appointments to posts of as
sistant secretaries of the depart
ments and to numerous diplomatic
posts. Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
has been suggested for the com
merce department aeronautical post.
The president also is considering
the personnel of his proposed com
mission for a study of the prohibi
tion enforcement situation. Beyond
a denial of reports that Curtis D.
Wilbur who has just retired as sec
retary of the navy is to have a pJace
on the commission there has been
no intimation of whom it will in
clude. The names of several have
been suggested, however, including
thus® of former Senator George
Wbarton Pepper of Pennsylvania,
Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, for
mer Attorney General Sargent, and
farmer Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker of Cleveland.

Only OneDem Governor of
Oklahoma Has Quit Term
_ - - — ■ ■— -
J. C. (Jack) Walton (upper left) had a stormy time in Oklahoma
politics which resulted in his impeachment as governor. Robert L.
Williams (upper right), the wartime governor, had smooth sailing,
but M. E. Trapp (lower right) got into difficulties following Walton.
Henry S. Johnston (lower left) now is fighting impeachment.
OKLAHOMA CITY. March 8.—
(JP)—Only one of Oklahoma's seven
democratic governors has escaped
stormy political skies which this
time have wrought their furies on
Henry 3. Johnston, who now is
fighting impeachment.
It was the wartime governor.
Robert L. Williams, whose adminis
tration alone was unblemished by
legal mixups or impeachment pro
ceedings.
While J. C. (Jack) Walton's open
war on the Ku Klux Klan and his
removal from office in 1923 was
perhaps the most sensational chap
ter in Sooner history, each of his
four predecessors had their trou
bles.
Charles N. Haskell, who wrote his
own campaign songs, led the list.
Two years altar his inauguration
in 1907 he was Indicted for con
spiracy to defraud. He sued Wil
liam Randolph Hearst for $600,000,
alleging Hearst had called him a
‘•tool” of the Standard Oil com
pany.
Following Haskell wan Lee Cruca,
whom Haskell had defeated in the
state's first election. In 1913 the
Oklahoma criminal court of appeals
charged Governor Cruce with con
tempt of court and "expressed re
gret the chief executive could not
be punished.”
After Williams’ tranquil adminis
tration J. A. B. Robertson was
elected in 1919. Charges of graft
and inefficiency marked the last
two years of his term, and a rec
ommendation for impeachment was
defeated in a republican legislature
by one vote. An indictment charg
ing Robertson with bribery was
dismissed.

duties. He succeeded R. E. Yantis,
resigned, who has been ill for sev
eral months and has gone to a hos
pital at Dallas.
Mr. Harwell has been associated
with his sons in publishing weekly

No sooner had Robertson left
than “Jack” Walton’s turbulent
term began. Martial law was de
clared in several counties as flog
gings by masked bands led to Wal
ton’s fight against the Klan.
Charges of corruption piled up.
Walton was impeached and ousted
a year after his election.
M. E. Trapp, who succeeded
Walton, had his own difficulties as
lieutenant governor. In 1921 im
peachment articles against him
were quashed; the following year
he was charged w’ith perjury.
A public argument arose between
Trapp and Ex-Governor Williams
when Trapp wanted to succeed
himself as governor. A federal
judge, Williams said Traop was in
eligible for election, and the su
preme court sided with Williams.

I Child left weak by “Flu”
gaining every day now
THAT’S the trouble with *'flu”—
it leaves you feeling so weak—it
seems forever before you get back
your normal pep.
If your child has had even the tnild- I
est kind of attack, do watch his
progress afterwards, carefully.
For the weakness resulting from * ’flu*' ,
is dangerous too. Don’t let the sys
tem get clogged xt this crucial period.
Give your child a teaspoonful of
Nujol every day to help regulate
his system, eliminate poisons and
bring about better health.
Physicians agree that, particularly
after illness, purging by laxatives
and cathartics is not advisable. Many
doctors are, therefore, prescribing
Nujol, as in no case docs it cause
exhaustion or weakening of the sys
tem in any way.
•
Nujol is as harmless as water. Just a
pure natural substance. Contains no
drugs or medicine. Nujol is com
pletely safe for any child. Lots of
mothers have used it for their babies
since birth. It works so naturally
and easily that it can't possibly up
set or disag., cc with the child. It is
easy to take.
Buy a bottle of Nujol today and use
it, faithfully, till you sec the roses
blooming in your child’s cheeks
again. That’s worth a lot, isn’t it?

million dollar
Subway ~for your voice
INDERGROUND—beneath
Vv fields and valleys, across
mountains, under rivers — will go
the wires of a new long distance
telephone system, built to serve the
Southwest.
Twenty-five hundred miles in
length, costing 45 million dollars,
the new system will consist of
underground telephone cable — a
“subway” for your voice — safe,
fast, modern.
Its purpose: To provide enough
circuits to care for growing long
distance traffic — to insure that
these circuits will rarely be inter
rupted by storms, fires, floods.
Heretofore, most long distance
lines have been constructed overhead
and interruptions of service from
such causes have been emergencies
to be feared.
Completed, the system will mean
long distance service more depend
able than ever before.]
It will be fast. Some cables con
tain more than 300 circuits — as
many wires as ten heavy pole line*
earn'.
It will be safe — from wind
storms, from sleet, from fire.
It will be dependable. At 50-mile
intervals " repeater** stations as
large as the ordinary exchange
building will be erected..Here the
voice current will passj through
powerful vacuum tubes, going on
its way with renewed strength/
Further, by acting as a trunk line
for long-haul traffic, the cable will
release hundreds of miles of long
distance pole lines. These will be
free to handle traffic over shorter
distances, between smaller towns.
Here, indeed, is a project that
provides a modern rapid-transir
system for yonr voice!
