of $12,000 and abandonment of the
republican practice of allowing use
less employes among the commit
tees, saving $50,000. This is a total
saving of $182,680 of last year's
total expenditures for house expendi
tures of $68,000. Following this
the caucus adopted resolutions look
ing to the simplification of the house
rules so that much confusion and
conflict caused by tho use of the
great multitude of precedents might
be done away with.
Chairman Underwood of the. com
mittee on ways and means presented
a resolution to have the caucus de
cide on the extent of legislation and
its scope to be permitted at the
extra session.
A committee on organization was
authorized with powers to parcel the
appointive positions." Under the
house organization chairmen of
committees will name committee em
ployes, such as clerks, messengers
and janitors, but who get no other
patronage. Other jobs will be dis
tributed among members equally,
thereby giving to each member not
a committee chairman, about $2,000
worth of patronage. Necessarily
this patronage will go to the various
states in proportion to their demo
cratic representation.
The six committees abolished are
Pacific railroads, levees of the Mis
sissippi river, militia, private land
claims, manufacturers and ventila
tion and acoustics.
The predictions of Champ Clark,
Chairman Underwood and other
leaders that the caucus would be
harmonious were borne out. Not
a discordant note was sounded at the
meeting. Not a roll call was re
quired on a single proposition ad
vanced by the men who had been
charged with preparing plans for or
ganization and legislation. Many
speeches were made. There was
continued debate in which new
members participated with freedom
but no clashes occurred and no bit
terness was manifested.
Representative Burleson, of Texas,
succeeded Judge Clayton, of Ala
bama, as permanent chairman of the
caucus, the honor going to him be
cause of his gracefully accepted de
feat for chairman of the committee
on appropriations. ,
The chairman of a sub-committee
on position pruning, presented the
economy report, abolishing employes,
useless jobs and committees. The
committee on accounts was directed
to introduce legislation to carry into
effect the reduction in jobs and the
committee on rules will look after
the lopping off of the six committees.
Champ Clark, as speaker, is autho
rized to fill the regular positions
under the speaker and to name also
the journal clerk, now under the
house, and the messenger at the
speaker's desk, now under the door
keeper.
Patronage is taken away frfrm' tfie
sergeant-at-arms, doorkeeper, post
master and clerk of the house, who
are prevented from appointing any
of their subordinates except on the
recommendation of committee on
organization. These recommenda
tions as previously stated are to be
based on an equal division of pat
ronage among the members.
Under the speaker three offices aro
abolished, but two offices already
existing are transferred to him to
fill. Under the clerk of the house,
twenty-six positions are abolished at
a net saving of $39,970.
Under the sergeant-at-arms a cut
of forty-two is made in the special
capitol police force. The senate will
have to concur in this reduction,
which includes one captain, two
Fortunes in the Rich Rio Grande Valley
An Opportunity for Wealth and Independence for

the Famous Mission, Texas, Project.
If you EVER intend to buy land, to make a change in your
condition for tho better, to make an investment that is sure to
bring big returns, let us advise you by all means to investigate
tho possibilities of tho Famous Mission Irrigated Lands, in the
Gulf Coast Country of Texas. But do it THIS YEAR.
Hundreds of people aro flocking to this valley, establishing
small and large farms, going into business, or buying income
bearing farms for winter homes.
There is a chanco for YOU to become a member of this thriv
ing Mission colony, if you act NOW. But the opportunities to
buy in this Mission project are getting less every day. In a very
short time all of these valuable lands will be taken up and then
you cannot buy except at prices beyond your reach. '
Tho Mission Lands, liko all other irrigated projects, are sell
ing rapidly. Irrigation farming is the ideal farming. At Mission
you will find intensive farming at its best. These rich lands are
cut up into 10, 20, 40 and 80 acre tracts, dotted with the homes
of happy, prosperous people. In tho irrigated districts you will
find smaller farms, more homes and nearer neighbors, closer
markets and more progressive people than you will find in anv
section of tho country. '
ThGoft of a round trip t0 this wonderful valley is less
than $30 from almost any important point in the country but
an investigation of this opportunity NOW may mean the dif
ference in between fortune and failure to you Why not 1oln
one of our excursions to these lands?
