ALBANY, N. Y„ Aug. 28.—
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt
today recommended creation of
an unemployment relief commis-
sion, and raising of a $20,000.-
000 fund for public construction
thru an increase in income taxes,
to provide work for some of the
"600,000 to 1,000,000 workers"
who will otherwise be idle this
winter.
The Roosevelt program, plac-
ing the burden of relief on the
13,000,000 more fortunate resi-
dents of the state, contemplates
no expectation of federal aid.
Roosevelt stressed the fact
that responsibility for relief rests
squarely son'the state and com-
passed by the committee which
opposed the proposed cotton holi-
day for 1932.
Loans totaling 12,418,103.90
were extended by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture to cot-
ton growers in 67 West Texas
counties last year. A mortgage
on everything produced is held as
security by the government.
The average loan is $160.
"We will attempt to show the
government it can collect more
under this plan than by any other
means," Clifford B. Jones, chair-
man of the committee, said.
“If the farmer is forced to sell
at 6 cents a pound, he will scarce-
ly clear enough to pay off the
loan. But there are debts to
bankers and merchants to be paid
and he would be left in worse
condition than before the loan
was made.
Average on S Bales.
“By allowing him 8 cents a
pound on stored cotton, the gov-
ernment could get the average
*160 loan back on five bales.”
The loan plan was first orig-
inated by John Sharp, president
of the First National Bank, Tur-
key, who acted as chairman of
the resolutions committee. Oth-
ers on the committee were Knox
Pittard, Anson: D. A. Bandeen,
Stamford, and ‘W. B. Lee, Spur
banker, chairman of the Agri-
cultural Committee of the Texas
Bankers Association.
Eighty-six counties in Texas
benefited by the production loan.
Sixty-seven are in West Texas and
19 in East Texas.
J. E. McDonald, state commis-
sioner of agriculture, was present
at the ineating. Senator Tom
Connally was detained on a pre-
vious engagement at Mineola.

Court action in an attempt to
force former Superintendent of

Hyder said he was delving Into
the law to determine the legality
of the board paying Moore $8,500
in settlement of a two-year con-
tract, made last spring.
“I believe this money can be
recovered for the schools without
any help from the school board,”
Hyder declared.
“If there is any legal way to
do it, I Intend to find it. And
I’ll get the money back If it costs
me a thousand dollars."
Draws, Cashes Check.
While Hyder prepared a writ
of Injunction to prevent the board
paying Moore the year’s salary
yesterday, Moore went to the
school administration offices,
drew the check and cashed it.
“I had a bunch he’d do that,"
Hyder commented. “I started to
call my stenographer down at
7:30 so I could have my suit in
the court at 9 o’clock.”
The board voted to pay Moore
the 18,500 at Its meeting late
Tuesday.
Moore today was undisturbed
by Hyder’s threats.
“I could have refused to re-

appointed and collected two years

Moore is on a year’s “leave of
absence," the leave to be term-

“Mutual Agreement."
At the time Moore submitted
his resignation, board members
said it was "a mutual agreement
for the best of the schools," point-

against Moore in some quarters.

BY WALTER MORROW
Written for The Press
IXYILLIAM H. (ALFALFA
W BILL) MURRAY, governor
of Oklahoma, kicked aside the
provincial curtain recently,
emerging upon the national
scene, a seriously considered
possibility for the Democratic
presidential nomination in
1932.
Successful at every turn he
has made, nothing has disputed
his progress. Even the conser-
vative Wall Street Journal ad-
mitted recently that he was a
refreshing contrast to the ordin-
ary “red tape worshipins"
governor.
The nation laughed when he
used troops to shut down the
Oklahoma oil fields, demanding
*1 a barrel for oil that was sell-
ing for 20 and 30 cents a barrel.
The laugh turned to bewilder-
ment a week later when two
judges of the U. S. Circuit Court
of Appeals sustained his con-
tention that he could conserve
oil until prices proved better.
Ten days later Texas legisla-
tors. despite a vicious lobby,
had passed laws permitting
their governor to take similar
action. Within two weeks
Oklahoma refiners began ca-
pitulating. posting the price de-
auded—»1 a barrel.
When Murray started his
fight, Republicans and con-
servative Democrats scoffed and
invited him to “fix the price of
cotton and wheat.” The Okla-
homa law, Murray retorted,
gave him authority to regulate
the production of oil, but no
authority over wheat or cotton.
“The governor only follows
the law,” said Murray. “He
cannot go beyond it.”

the robbers. Eudey told officers
he was too frightenod to attempt
wrecking his auto and saving the
money, or to get the number of
the bandit auto.
West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce officials today were plan-
nig to ask that 15,000 farmers
be allowed to use cotton at 8
cents a pound, as collateral on
production loan extensions. The
officials, the Agricultural Commit-
ee, decided this and went on
record against banning cotton
planting by law in an executive
meeting here yesterday.
Proposals framed to tide cot-
ton farmers over the present
crisis will be carried to Washing-
ton for final action. The govern-
ment will be urged to permit
farmers to store their cotton in
compresses and warehouses and
allow them to tree it as security.'
The government will be asked
further to carry loans at 5 per
cent “releasing all the remainder
of the 1931 crops to the farmers
to allow them to finance them-
selves for another year.”

Resolution on Loan.
The resolution on the produc-
tion loan follows:
“That the Agricultural Com-
mittee of the West Texas Cham-

lowing program of work on pro-
duction loans:
“First: That $7.50 per bale,

government mortgage on cotton

Second: That the government
be requested to permit the farm-
ers to store their cotton at com-
presses or warehouses and allow
them to collateral their loans at
the rate of 8 cents per pound,

and carry their loans at 5 per

the remainder of the 1931 crops

• the theory that he moves fast-
est who moves alone. He moved
first in the oil cpntroversy.
Before there was anything
for the oil companies to enjoin
he had possession. He knew
that U. S. marshals were not
going to try to eject even a
handful of guardsmen and he
also knew that he was not go-
ing to try to eject marshals
with guardsmen. That is why
he moved first.
“The guard, as a military or-
ganization, is a joke," Murray
said. “It is, however, the only
weapon a governor has against
the meddling of inferior U. S.
courts.”
Murray Is a constitutionalist,
not a nullificationist. Yet at
this point he becomes startling-
ly original. He maintains that
inferior federal courts, by in-
junction, nullify the Constitu-
tion with reference to the re-
served powers of states. The
law is nullified for the period
of years required to get a de-
termination of issues in the
Supreme Court. It is for this
purpose that he used troops—
to prevent such delays.

"QIL and gas are natural re-
U sources which cannot be
replaced," said the Circuit
Court judges in ruling on the
oil orders. “The power of the
state to impose reasonable
regulations to prevent waste
. . . is undoubted.”
The court also held that the
state has no power to assess
penalties for violation of such
orders, but that producers
may be penalized by manda-
mus or injunction actions In

"Dhe ground is the best
storage place for oil,” said the
court. A temporary Injunc-

AUSTIN, Aug. 28.—A night
session of the State Railroad
Commission hearing failed to
end testimony on the East Texas
oil situation and the commission
meets today with prospects of
still another day of technical
opinions.
Marlon Church of Dallas, at-
torney for the central oil prora-
tion committee, planned to offer
a series of experts to combat the
claim of opponents that unre-
stricted production will not pro-
duce physical waste in the field.
Sharp conflict of opinion was
given on this last night. J. 3.
Hudnall, geologist with a force
of observers in the field, said
that production of 1,000,000‘bar-
rels a day would not cause
waste. C. V. Millikan of Tulsa,
engineer for the Amerada com-
pany, testified that the maximum
safe production to prevent waste
is 225,000 barrels a day.
With the records of Gulf Pro-
duction Company, Sinclair and
Danciger wells carefully put into
the testimony of the, hearing by
their attorneys to show no waste,
speculation was rife as to
whether a new proration order
when issued may not be enjoined.
R D. Parker, chief of the oil
and gas division of the commis-
sion suggestef that it could be
kept in effect by martial law.
The governor was net here to
say whether he would use the
military to prevent court juris-
l diction. _______

To Set Station Back. '
“The passenger station is be-
ing built because Fort Worth
wants it and because other com-
panies have agreed to be ten-
ants. Our own needs necessi-
tate the construction of th* |
new freight house.”
According to plans, the passen-
ger station will be set back 50
feet from the easterly curb lln*
of Jones Street. This will afford
accommodations for automobiles, ’ s
express and baggage trucks.
Mayor William Bryce and
former City Manager Carr as-
sisted materially in the cousum-
mation of these improvements,
Pettibone said.
The passenger station will be
245 feet long by 91 feet wide.
Cut stone probably will be used
to face the building with orna-
mental stone panels. The cen-
tral portion of the station will
be approximately 100 feet long
by 61 feet high with two stories
each on either end approxi-
mately 75 feet wide by 32 feet
high.
Main Waiting Room.
The main waiting room will
be approximately 95 feet long
and 54 feet wide and 54 feet
high, in which there will be
white and colored compartment*
and dining room facilities. Th*
second floor will be avallable
for general uses.
A passenger subway will ex-
tend from the main waiting
room to the train sheds with
ramps to track elevation. There
also will be a baggage and ex-
press subway to and from th*
trains. Modern umbrella type
sheds will be used.
