mise penitentiary concentration and
relocation bill. It provides that the

bers and nine legislators shall make
a survey of state owned lands and
other available sites in Texas, de

Defeated yesterday in his at

restricting county officials to an j
annual remuneration of $10,000, j
Senator Pink L. Parrish. Lubbock,
today caught opponents by surprise
and offered a resolution providing
for a legislative investigation of the
county fee system.

ton, staunch opponent of a salary
limit, changed his vote from "no” to
"aye” on the resolution, in order
that he might move to reconsider
the vote. By a trick of fate. Wood
ul’s vote proved the deciding factor
in adopting the resolution
Setting out that many state offi
cials receive exorbitant salaries due
to fees, the resolution provides that
a committee of two senators from
three representatives shall make a
check of fees allowed by law with
a view of proposing legislation to
reduce fees of office.
Senator Julian C Hyer. Fort

resolution providing that no state
funds should be used by the commit

CALL MEXICAN
INFLUX HUGE
Social Work Conference
Told Few Would Ever
Return to Land
SAN FRANCISCO. June 28.—
—The Influx of Mexicans into the
United States was described today in 1
an address before the national con- j
ference of social work as one of the
greatest racial movements in his
tory.
Robert N. McLean of the city im
migrant and industrial department
of the board of national missions of
the Presbyterian church in the U. S
A., told the delegates that approx
imately one-fifth of all the Spanish
speaking Mexicans live under the
American flag.
“There has never been a greater
racial movement in ail history,"
McLean said. He also asserted tlun
but few of the 2.000.000 Mexicans in
the United States ever would return
to their native land but that their
love for their country makes them
disinclined to become American cit
izens.
In spite of these conditions Mc
Lean declared the Mexican to be an
asset, but he also represents "cer
tain social liabilities which can be
removed by the breaking down of
racial prejudice and by bringing to
bear upon Mexican communities
helpful social stimuli.”
Annie Clo Watson, an executive of
the international institute of the Y
W. C. A. of San Antonio. Texas, re
ported to the convention that of
the 57,000 Mexicans who came to the
United Statt. in 1928 half of them
entered through Texas. Finnings of
a study carried on by the interna
tional institute in San Antonio. St
Paul. St. Louis and Gan*. Ind., were
set forth by Miss Watson.
