Tick Eradication Law Debate In Harris County

A Harris County debate reveals conflict over statewide tick eradication. The Young Men's Business League disputes a statewide law while praising it, urging residents to back the statewide measure and warning county quarantines could devastate cattle jobs and tax revenue. Senate Bill 108 passed in the regular session, as cited in a cited Austin dispatch.

Harris County Battle for State Tick Eradication Urged

Harris County Cattlemen urge voters to back Senate Bill 108 the statewide tick eradication law written by Senator Claude B. Hudspeth. They warn county-only action would wreck Harris County cattle sales, arguing eradication must cover from the Oklahoma line to the Gulf and counties must follow the governor's phased zones through 1921.
