drawn and filed with the senate.

Hearing on the impeachment
charges, which had been proposed
by Representative Grady Woodruff
of Decatur, had begun June 13 and
had continued intermittently since.
Charges were filed as a sequel to
an investigation of the land office
conducted by a joint legislative
committee during the regular ses
sion last January. The committee
filed a report with the house during
the closing days of thp first called
''•ssion. reprimanded Mr. Robison
I I
for his apparent carelessness in not
keeping an accurate account of the
expenditures from the one cent an
acre reapnratsement fund contrib
uted by land owners to pay expenses
1 of revaluing state lands and recom
mended that the attorney general
file suit for an accounting of the
fund.
The controversy began last De
cember. when an effort was made
by the governor, attorney general
; and members of the board of re
gents of the University of Texas to
get Mr. Robison's consent to post
ponement of sale of oil and gas
rights in university lands until the
legislature, meeting January 8. could
have a chance to reneal the leasing
law and take the lands from the
market. Mr. Robison had adver
tised 1.500.000 acres for lease during
January.
Agreed to Postpone
He agreed to postpone sales of all
acreage except 53.000 acres of the
’and he had advertised for sale on
January 2. He claimed he had re
ceived specific requests for tracts
comprising the 53.000 acres and that
under a decision of the supreme
court the law mad** it mandatory
upon him to advertise the lands.
The regents obtained an in June- j
tion restraining the sale, but later;
it was dissolved, and the rase Is now ;
on appeal to the supreme court.
When the legislature met. it im
mediately repealed the leasing law
and a concurrent resolution was!
passed proposing legislative investi- f
gation of the general hand office,
governor, attorney general and
board of regents with reference to
the controversy.

Two Finishing Touches On
Bills Needed or New
Session Looms
AUSTIN, June 28 — i&) —This
1 legislature has two important
pieces of business to transact to
the liking of Oovemor Moody with
in the remaining four days if it
expects to be permitted to go home
next Tuesday when the second spe
cial session ends.
It has to put finishing touches
on the appropriation bills and
sandpaper them down to not ex
ceed approximately $50,000,000. To
do this, the senate will be obliged
to do considerable conceding to the
house, for there are about $5,000.
000 difference between them on the
educational measure, the only one
that has not been agreed to.
As a matter of compromise the
■ senate has agreed to reduce its
$21,000,000 bill to $17,000,000. but
the house wants it to come down
to $16,500,000. about $500,000 in ex
cess of the house bill. At that,
apnropriations for the biennium
will exceed the available revenue by
$750,000 according to John F. Wal

1JAYER ASPIRIN is like an ole
friend, tried and trno. There
can never be a satisfactory substi
tute for either one. Bayer Aspirin
is genuine. It is the accepted anti

be relied on. whether used for the
occasional headache, to head-off a
cold, or for the more serious aches
and pains from neuralgia, neuritis,
rheumatism or other ailments. It’s
easy to identify Bayer Aspirin by
the Bayer Cross on every tablet, by
the name Bayer on the box and the
word genuine printed in red.
