Texas Farmers Unite Against State Markets and Livestock Board
In Austin on January 6, 1926, Texas farmers organizations including Farm Bureau Federation Farmers Union Cattle Raisers Association and Sheep and Goat Raisers Association announced a legislative program opposing the union of state markets and agricultural departments and the livestock sanitary commission. They advocated greater cotton ball weevil prevention and a West Texas college. The Senate moved the Baugh bill on a mandatory pistol penalty and penalties for officers in masked parades. The proposal to lease and operate the penitentiary system failed in the Senate by a tied vote with Lt. Gov. Davidson casting the deciding ballot. The House advanced a bill to establish the Texas Technological College in West Texas with 1 million dollars in funding, passing 100 to 20.
