LONG BALLOT
TO BE RESULT
OF MEASURES
AUSTIN. March 8 t>P>—If th-J
legislature should finally pass all
the bills proposing to set up elec
tive commissions and the governor
approve them, the ballot in this
state wouiu be lengthened several
Inches.
There is the Ferguson-endowed
plan to elect five highway com
missioners to replace the three
member appointive board that now
administers the affairs of that
part of the state government.
Another .11 would set up a nat
ural resource commission of three
elective members to take over the
work of the railroad commission in
administering conservation r.’at
utes. It would have the regulation
and supervision of oil and gas
fields in the state.
A third elective board would be a
three-member public utilities c>in
mission to control operation or elec
tric power, gas, water and other
non-municipally owned concerns
furnishing public service.
If those three bills are enacted
into law eleven new names would
be placed on the election ballots,
and several times that many on
primary election tickets, because
there probably would oe a big field
of aspirants for nomination to the
places n the democratic party.
Some one recently opined that
should the newspaper reporters be
barred from covering proceedings
of the houses of the Texas legis
lature ‘here probably would not bi
as many speeches as now.
That theory doesn’t hold how -
Vr<*r. experte. e shows because the
^executive sessions the senate has
been holding recently have been
long-drawn out meetings witn
abundant oratory
The sen e consumed many hours
the first S'1 days of this legislative
session considering behind closet
doors matters submitted to it bv
Gov. Ferguson. These have includ
ed appointments, right of the sen
ate to consider an appointee more
than once and if it could furnish
the chief executive with informa
tion of ‘.hat happened in execu
tive sessions.

SALARY HIKES
PROPOSED FOR
SOME OFFICES
AUSTIN, March 9.—</P>— While
the Texas legislature is contem
plating reducing the salaries of
most state officers and employes,
salary increases have been pro
posed for six state officials.
The senate already has approved
proposed constitutional amend
ments to provide for higher salaries
for the governor, attorney general,
Ir.nd commissioner, comptroller and
treasurer. A resolution to increase
the pay of the secretary of tht
state is pending.
If the house should approve the
senate resolutions by the necessary
two-thirds vote, the proposed con
stitutional changes would be sub
mitted to the people in the gen
eral election of 1934. Sen Walter
Woodul of Houston, author of the
proposals, expressed the hope that
• good times'’ will have returned by
November, 1934, and that the
electorate will be m a frame of
mind to agree to the salary raises
Woodul expressed the beiief that
the existing salaries for the six
public officers were ’disgracefully
low" even under present conditions.
He pointed out that Che governor
and attorney general each received
only $4,000 annually and each of
the other officers was paid om>
$2,500 annually. He cited the fact
that each of the officials except
the secretary of the state had to
bear the expenses of a campaign
every two years.
The senate projxxsed to increase
the pay of the governor to $12,000
the attorney general to $10,000 and
the salaries of the treasurei,!
comptroller and treasurer to $6 000
Woodul suggested that the salarj
o: the secretary of state be raised
to $4,000. I
The resolutions probably will '
have rough sailing in the ’ house
v here a large economy group is
remanding salary reductions of 25 ■
per cent or more. One hundred
house votes would be necessary to
submit .he proi>osed amendments
to the people.
