This hill is being; backed by .the American Legion of Texas and was the resnlt of an effort to colonise Japanese in the Rio Grande valley. Despite the fact that the public utilities bill has been carefully con sidered by a special committee ap pointed by the governor and representing- the varied interests involved, considerable debate is expected on this measure before It is disposed of. The bill as drafted does not pro pose to create a new commission, but to enlarge the scope of the railroad commission and vest in that body the jurisdiction over the public utilities of Texas. An increase in the salaries of the members of the commission from f4509 to 97500 Is proposed, and the measure also provides for a gen eral solicitor for the commission at a salary of 97300 a year. Tax Code Revision. Revision of the tax code will be proposed in a bill by representative John T. Smith of Travis county, in which it is planned to have a uni form system of taxation. This bill Is designed to equalize taxation and to place on the rolls much property that is now escaping taxation, ac cording to representative Smith. J. A. King, state tax commissioner, has prepared bills proposing the cre ation .of a state tax commission, amending the intangible asset tax law so as to Include various classes of corporations including oil com panies, packing houses, coal, lumber, wharf, steamship, express, telegraph, interurban. pipe lines, telephone, electric railways, oil refining com panies, sulphur, light, gas, soft drink and mail order companies and per haps others. Four bills are to be introduced by representative Williams of McLen nan county, designed for the protec tion of the Texas farmers. One of these measures will require cotton samplers to take out ,a license and stand examination before carrying on business. Another bill will give protection to the independent cotton compresses and mills so that the I smail man may have bis cotton compressed and shipped explditiously. It is also proposed in one of these , bills to prohibit the taking or ex 1 tract I Dp from hales of cotton four or fire pounds of "sample" in grading f cotton. J Proposes Consolidation, j Consolidation of the live stock i sanitary commission, the warehouse j and marketing department, the board of water engineers, the game fish t and oyster department, feed, fer- tillzer and foul brood control, will be urged daring the session in bills I scheduled to belntrodnced. I Senator I. R. Clark of Fayette j county has announced he will intro- duce a bill in the senate proposing f the abolition of the department of i sericulture. The senator says he will also offer a bill to repeal the law I creating the state fire insurance ; f commission. i j There is every indication that the j 1 new governor will recommend the j i passage of a bill to aid the rural , schools of the state. Under the i present administration such a law , was passed carrying an appropriation , of $4,eiM'A6 to be expended in two years. The Democratic platform recommends to the legislature that f SAX FRANCISCO, Calif Jan. 4. American Samoa's beetle-inspecting chief of police Is out of jail and the judge who has seven other jobs is again holding court, according to advices from Tutuila. This change back to normal followed a naval in quiry which resulted In dissipating an attempt by a naval officer and a former newspaper reporter to control t he naval administration of the American possession in the South seas. In furtherance of this attempt the naval officer. Creed H. Boucher. liea tenant commander, and the ex-repor ter, Arthur A. Greene, enlisted the support of commander A. C Kail, second In rank to commander Warren J. Terhune, governor of the islands The three piled charges against Ter hune and his administration, and finally Kail tried to send a wireless message fe the navy department at Washington branding his superior as Insane. Terhune Commits Suicide. With the message in front of him, Terhune. suffering from ill health, committed suicide. The pitiful part of this tragedy developed when the naval court of inquiry, already en route to Tutuila from, Hawaii, ab solved Terhune s administration-of all charges, recommended the deporta tion of Greene, the court martial of Boucher and the removal of Kail from his post. Among the charges filed against Terhune's administration was one that officials were drawing illegal extra salaries. J. Burkin liailo. na tive chief of police, and judge A. II Nbble were especial targets of Boucher, Greene and KaJL After commander Terhane shot himself Kail became acting governor and he jailed Mailo on charges that the chief of pol ce had urged the natives to oppose the activities of Greene and Kail. Previously Boucher had alleged that irregularities of the Terhune administration Included pay ing jiauo as "Deetie inspector" as well as head of the police force, but inai no oeeues were inspected. The board of inquiry sat for eight days. Testimony revealed that Bou cher for 25 of his 85 days' service was under suspension on three charges carry a pistol, attempting a mutiny and falsehood Boucher's examination revealed that he posd as a secret service man without authority; pub licly criticised the secretary of the navy and the president; insubordl nately communicated with authorities at Washington in violation of regu lations, and committed many other breaches of natal regulations. Upon examination he declined to answer many questions on the ground that the answers would incriminate himself. He acknowledged that all charges he made were based upon hearsay and without investigation. It was revealed that documents were stolen from naval officers, but an at tempt to introduce these by Greene, who acted as Boucher's counsel, was overruled by the board. The testimony revealed also that Greene and Bou her created unrest among the natives in an effort to change the government and assume control for themselves. Their activ ities resulted in organization of na tives into a "committee. which for warded an appeal to president Wil son to remove governor Terhune. and the nati e unrest was manifested by several fights with the American sailors.
