A long, opinion rich column notes widespread confusion over Texas politics. It cites resignations from the highway commission, proposed appointments for women, and disputes involving Governor Ferguson, Attorney General Moody, and Amon Carter. The piece questions road company profits, speculation on a special legislative session, and the burden of public understanding, concluding with a call to “watchful waiting.”

Cotton Crop Shortfalls Stamp Central Western Texas
Weather has let farmers harvest nearly all cotton in the area with only a few hundred bales left to gin in the county. Government figures issued November 14 show a short crop in central and west Texas with Throckmorton and Young counties among the hard hit. Eastern Texas fared better, central Texas was almost a failure, and farmers believe prices will rise only if cotton is held off the market.
