That is all correct. and I do not know of anything that could be put upon the statute books of any State that would go further than such legislation as this to promote immigration. The character of the people who would immi.grate there. however. might be questionable.

Certainly homestead exemptions like this would promote immigration. andI hope they will keep such laws upon their statute books in Texas and in other States to encourage emigration of a certain kind from my own State. There are. however. advocates even in Texas of the passage of a uniform bankrupt law at this time. I have a clipping from the Dallas TimasHerald. which I will read:
