Taxpayer League to Ask
County Court to Submit
Proposal to Voters,
DIRECTORS NAMED
Report of Nominating Com
mittee Adopted Im
provements at Cojunty
Home Desired.
A proposal to vote 1 mill an
.nually for four years for the pur
pose of providing funds for the
construction of a new court house
building, was approved on Satur
day afternoon by the Douglas
County Taxpayers League, and the
county court will be asked to sub
mit the proposition to a vote of
the residents of the county at the
primary election to be held early
next year.
The condition of the present
building Is such that a new court
house is' necessary. Several recent
grand juries have condemned the
structure and have urged the steps
be taken to erect a new building
as soon as possible.
The tax league found that the
conditions justify the building of a
new structure but only about $70,
000 of the necessary 1200,000 can
be made available at the present
time. It was decided to approve a
one-mill levy to be added to the
tax each year for four years, which
will provide enough funds for a
new court house and a jail. This
matter will have to be submitted
to the voters of the county, but it
Is believed that in the light of the
existing conditions and the recom
mendalons of the several grand
juries, that the proposal will meet
with favor.
During the closing houra of the
lesslon on Saturday, considerable
Interest was taken In the report of
the sundry items committee.
The recommendation favoring
the continuance of the health unit
was adopted with little discussion,
while the recommendation that the
allowance for fruit Inspector be
increased $400 was also approved.
All other recommendations of the
committee were sanctioned by the
taxpayers.
The nominating committee sub
mitted the names of D. N. Busen
bark, C. O. Garrett, A. A. Thlel, E.
K. Fenn, C. L. Chenoweth, M. B.
Green and C. E .Moyer as direc
tors. The report was adopted, the
men named being elected to the of
fice of director, having the power
to appoint the officers of the
league.
After considerable discussion
concerning the O. and C. land bill
It was decided to favor the inclu
sion of the lands in the national
forest area.
At the time the government
made grants to the O. and C. rail
road company It gave the company
alternate sections of land adjacent
to the proposed right of way. This
land has -since reverted to the gov
ernment as a result of the failure
of the company to fulfill certain
requirements of the contract
Some of these broken sections
lay inside the boundaries of the na
tional forest. The law provides
that the government may sell these
lands, the first disbursement from
the fund created from the sale of
the land being to the railroad com
pany at the rate of $2.50 per acre.
The second payment Is to the gov
ernment for money advanced for
back taxes, and the remaining sum
Is to be divided among the states
and counties in which the land Is
situated, with a per centage for
administration and also for the
reclamation fund.
Before the counties can receive
any money from these lands ap
proximately $8,000,000 must be tak
en In.
The forest service proposes to
buy the lands within the national
forest areas from the department
of (he Interior, paying for them rn
10 years. This It Is estimated
would permit the government to
pay off the amount due the rail
road company and for back taxes,
and during the course of the ten
year period the county would re
ceive approximately $200,000 as Its
share. In addition It would receive
Its share from the sale and admin
istration or other lands not affect
ed by the Inclusion act.
The taxpayers league fell that
any action which would result In
returns from these lands would be
of benefit and unanimously ap
proved the proposed bill.
S. 8. Bolslnger, manager of Ihe
county home, appeared before the
league and asked that more money

IF OF EUROPE;
Heavy Loss of Life Occurs
in Southern Italy and
Cattle, Crops and
Homes Gone.
(AMocUtcd Pths tcajtd Wirt.) .
LONDON, Nov. 30. From south
Italy and Spain to Scandanavia
and from Poland to the Bay of Bis
cay, violent storms raged during
the week-end. Snow lies virtually
through central Europe and every
where low temperatures are record
ed. For the fist time In many years
snow fell along the French rivlera.
But, according to an official com
munication issued by the authori
ties at Nice, "it thawed aa soon as
the sun came out." A temperature
of between four and five degrees
below freexing was registered.
There was much destruction of pTrHrif fleers found- w-aupply of whiskey
perty and loss of life In the storm
areas. Italy, however, appears to
have been the worst sufferer. The
reports received show that there
were storms over the whole of the
peninsula, from Naples to southern
Sicily. They were more violent
than ever were known. Huge"!
waves from the sea etuged the
shores, wrecking houses and dam
aging harbors and railroads, while
swollen rivers flooded the country
side, destroying crops and cattle.
A-dispatch to the Daily Mail
from Rome reports much damage
at Catanzaro, where many persons
were killed or Injured, and that
Monteleone, Bagnara and other
placea also suffered severely. Hea
vy seas held up the American
steamer President Garfield for sev
en hours outside Naples.
Deep snow falls are reported
from Austria, Germany and Swit
zerland. Violent storms of rain and
wind visited Spain and Portugal.
Portugal suffered particularly in
the destruction of railway tracks,
telephone and telegraph wires and
the demolition of some houses.
Even as far east as Greece the
storms raged. The port of Piraeus
suffered damage, while at Patras
the lighthouse and breakwater
were washed away.
Southern England escaped with
trifling snowfall but northern
England and Scotland were snow- j
ed under. Drifts several feet In.
depth are reported In some places.
These hindered railway traffic. One
train was stalled In a drift for
many hours.
SOFIA. Nov. 30 Thirty-two

PARIS, Not. 30 The storms
which swept the Mediterranean and

end penetrated as far south as

Bulgaria, reports show.
At Fez. Morocco, a cyclonic
wind caused the death of three for
eign legionnaires and Injured thir
teen. Seventeen airplanes were
i wrecked and five mechanicians In

AU8TIN. Texas. Nov. 30. Inti
mation that a fund of $300,000 had
been pledged to defray tbe cost of
special legislative session, marked
the interim in the Texas political
situation along with an unexpected
sequel to the governor's liquor law
proclamation, the filing of chargea
against a negro butler at the execu
tive mansion.
Reports of the fund raising fol
lowed declarations of Speaker Lee
Satterwhite that the expenses of
the session would be cared for. Mr.
Satterwhite Is leader of the move
ment to brin gofficial acta of Gov
ernor Miriam A- Ferguson's admin

George Brady, the negro butler,
who said he was the beneficiary
of an extended parole and condi

guson, was arrested when officers
said he was attempting to sell li
quor to white men on a street cor
ner. Charges of possessing liquor
for sale were made against him.
Another negro In whose automobile
also was arresieu.
The political row appeared ready
to produce fresh fireworks today
but what the new week would

Thos who have followed the po
litical fortune of James E. Fergu
son, husband of Governor Fergu
son, since his impeachment In his
second term as governor about
eight years ago are! Inclined to
look for unexpected moves on his
part.
Ferguson, who once ran for pres
ident as the leader of the Ameri
can party, has always commanded
a strong following in Texas, even
when his political career seemed
lowest His aggressive attacks on
his enemies and tactics of assaults
on their most vulnerable pots long
have been known. His ability also
to turn attention In the direction
he wishes has stood him In good
stead.

would regard the offer of the gov

conviction of the liquor laws of
