PRICE 5 CENTS REFERENDUM OF PEOPLE of his committee that the bill be Senator Jeary, Lancaster county, led the fight for the advancement of the bill, seeking to persuade the op position that the proposed method "the adoption of a comprehensive ' building program" is more sound in business principle than the biennial straight appropriation. He cited statements of officials of the Univer sity of Texas, the message of Charles E. Hughe3 to the legislature of New York when he was governor, and of the greater corporations in support of his contention. ' Prediction that the present legis lators "would hear from the people at the next election" was made by Senator Reed. In regard to rumors of charges of the opposition to the bill by the state board of agriculture, made by Senator Jeary, declaration was made by Senator Reed, who is a member of the state board of agri culture, that "this is the first men tion of it that I have heard. Sup porters of this measure are from the cities and larger towns," he contin ued. "They are not in touch with the farmers in all quarters of the state who will have to pay the biggest part of -this ten-year levy amount. . The cities pay it directly, but the farmer pays it all in the end." Senator Purcell, member of the State Fair Board and of the finance committee, who voted to kill the bill, also took exception to the "fair board-University" fight charges. In continuing his address he declared that if the measure would be submit ted to the people by referendum he would vote for it. "Then you are for the measure," 1 interrupted Senator Jeary, upon per mission of the chair. "Yes, if it is put up to the peo ple." Well, I don't believe in passing the buck to the people." "I do. It's the only fair and just way. Vote was taken a few minutes fol lowing this altercation by roll call. It read as follows:- Yeas:- Bliss, Chambers, Cooper, Dolezal, Dysart, Griswold, Hoye, Jeary, Johnson, Laughlin, Luckey, McGowan, Robbins, Scott, and War ner. Nays: Banning, Behrens, Good rich, Holbrook, Heckt, Illian, Kerr, Meacham, Purcell, Reed, Robertson, Shellenberger, Vance, Watson, Wil kens, Wiltsc, and Wood. Senator Griswold suggested an amendment which was adopted, lim iting the gross expenditure to $4,- 000,000 except by authorization of the legislature. A few words had also been stricken from the bill, lim iting the scope of the uses, to which the money might be put Commenting on the amendments, Senator Reed declared that after the conference committee was through with the bill it would come back to the senate in its original form. Immediately following the an nouncement of the vote, Senator Jeary moved to rise and report pro gress, telling the committee that he wanted to prepare the amendment Senator Purcell suggested to sub mit the proposition to the people by referendum. "Why didn't you think of that be fore," asked Senator Reed. Chair man Warner declared Jeary's motion adopted almost before the nays had voiced their objection. Retiring Y. W, C. A.
