College Station, June It.—At a
meeting of the Alumni association of
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College here the following resolu-
tions opposing senate joint reeolu-
tlcn No. 18 weer adopted:
Whereae, Senate Joint reeolution
No. IS, amending sections 4A and
62 of article 2 of the constitution of
Texas, to be voted upon by the peo-
ple on July 19, 1918, is so framed
as to be misleading to the voters, so
drawn that in order to reject one
measure the voter must reject all, so
ambiguous that its most ardent ad-
vocates are divided among them-
selves as to its meaning, and
Whereas, said resolution, if em-
bodied in the constitution by the tax-
payers would involve the unneces-
sary expenditure of hundreds of
thousands of dollars of the people’s
money for the establishment of an-
other agricultural and me^tnical
college at Austin that woultf&hnply
attempt to duplicate under lefcfLfa-
vorable conditions the work ncfiPguc-
ceesfully being carried out by the
Agricultural and Mechanical college,
and
Whoreas, the proposed amendment
places no Limit on the amount of
bonds that any legislature may Is-
sue, and no limit on the amount of
Interest that may be paid on such
bonds, and
Whereas, we yield to no one in
our Interest In the cause of higher
education, but, as loyal citizens, we
hold that no amount of money which
might be secured for such a purpose
would justify us in advocating a
measure that would put in the hands
of any legislature the power to
bankrupt the state, and
Whereas, we have consulted with
eminent legal talent and many
members of the legislature as to the
meaning and effect of the proposed
resolution, and they advise us that
the rjnendment is ambiguous, capa-
ble of almost any construction, and
dangerous not only to the college,
but to the best interests of the state
at large, therefore be It
Roeolved, that the Alumni asso-
ciation of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College of Texas in annual
convention assembled, after a thor-
ough consideration and discussion
of the proposed amendment to sec-
tions 49 and 52 of article 3 of the
constitution of the state of Texas,
known as senate joint resolution
No. 16, believe that the passage of
the proposed amendment would be
the death knell of the Agricultural
and Mechsnical college of Texas, and
that we pledge ourselves to use ev-
ery legitimate means to defeat it
and call upon every friend of the
Agricultural and Mechanical college
in Texas to aid vs.
Resolved further, that we regret
that in defending the very life of the
Agricultural and Mechanical collefe,
it is necessary for us to oppose a
measure advocated by an administra-
tion which has heretofore been uni-
formly friendly to the Institution.
Be it further
Resolved, that copies of this reso-
lution be furnished at once to the
presa of the state.
In the fifth foregoing resolution,
the “many members of the legisla-
ture” which are referred to as hav-
ing been consulted in the matter,
number more than eighty, who, in
personal letters to members of the
Alumni association announce that
they not cnly did not fully under-
stand the full raeaniug of the reso-
lution when they voted for it, but
will use every Influence to defeat it
at the forthcoming election in July.

Interesting Irctter From Former
l oil in County Man.
I desire to say a few words
through the Democrat-Gazette to my
friends in Collin county. I have been
away from Collin now for about six
teen months and am getting horoe-
eick. My friends will be interested
to know that we are well and that I
am doing as well, probably, as my
friends could hope for me to do.
I served as State Evangelist here
for awhile and have now been pastor
of Las Cruces Baptist church for ten
months. I expect to remain here for
some years unless there should be a
clear conviction that duty calls else-
where. I am also president of our
State Convention and vice-president
of the Home Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention which
beard has headquarters in Atlanta,
Georgia It is a pleasure to me when
my trips to the Board meetings af-
ford me an opportunity for a visit to
Collin county.
J.as Cruces is one of the old towns
of New Mexico which has more old
towns in it than almost any state in
tho Union, having several that are
three hundred years old. The old
parts of these towns are built of
mud. The houses are mud houses
made of sun dried brick. They also
have mud roofs supported by beams
with a layer of reeds to keep the
mud roof from falling in. The
Palace of The Governors at Santa
Fe is a mud house erected more than
three hundred years ago and there
is a mud house in Santa Fe said to
have been erected in 1500.
I lived in a large mud or adobe
hovae last year. The walls are 26
inches thick and are plastered in-
side and out. The rooms are large
and there is a hall ten feet wide and
fifty-four feet long. The house has
several connections, bath, city water
and electric lights.
Las Cruces has a great many of
tbeee old houses and they are quaint
but the newer sections of the towfi
are built after the modern style and
are growing rapidly.
, The United State Government la
building here the largest irrigation
plant In the country and will irrigate
about threa hundred thousand acres
of land from the waters of the Rio
Grande which are to be stored In the
Elephant Butte Dam. The plant will
be completed In 1916. Several hun-
dred thousand of acres are now un-
der irrigation and it is a pretty sight
to see thousands of acres of level fer-
tile fields cultivated with the abso-
lute certainty of a crop and with no
fear that the sea sen will fall you.
Alfalfa and fruits and truck farming
are the principal agricultural pro-
ducts and occupations. On the dry
lands stock raising Is the only occu-
pation except that in the mountains
nearby mining Is carried on to a
(considerable extent.
When the Irrigation plant 1* com-
pleted there will be water su indent
to guarantee cheap power for manu-
facturing purposes and a vast amount
of It This will be a great help to
our country.
If a man has a good farm in Collin
county or a paying business, I would
not advise him to sell out and go
anywhere. To my Judgment, that is
the best place in the country to live
and I travel in about a dozen states
each year. But if for health reasons
or other causes a man desires to
come to this country and he will not
get in too big a hurry to gobble up
a quick bargain and if he will take
the advice of those who have been
here long and who know conditions,
he can probably do well in this coun-
try.
