Legislation Bureau to Protect West Texas
West Texas Chamber of Commerce opened its Austin Legislation Bureau on May 24 under Porter A. Whaley to aid towns and units across West Texas. The bureau monitors Austin bills, fights harmful measures like the proposed state income tax and negative oil laws, and promotes beneficial ones. It also watches the Pink Bollworm issue and protects patented land owners along the Red River in Wichita and Wilbarger counties as it prepares measures for the West.
