iSCHOOL FUND ! BILL VETOED t I ) _ | 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.

" 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. PERSONALS Mrs. Brace Limdberg of Point Is abel is in town for the day, Thurs- ! day. Mr. and Mrs. Ivan L. Thompson, i San Antonio, arrived Wednesday for a \ it to the Valley.

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. HARWELL STATISTICIAN FOR FARM DEPARTMENT (Special to The Herald) AUSTIN. March 3.—T. F.

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.

I I Map cf the new underground cable system. \ \ 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.
