1. It authorizes the state
officiuls to creut debts against

crease is three hundred thous-
and.
2. The legislature is given
power to authorize the issuance
of bonds to purchase additional
ground and erect neccessary
buildings for the I niversity of
Texas. Th¡3 is to include
medical department and an agri-
cultural and mechanical college
connection with tho
the auuiidmeut the proceeds of
the penitentiary bonds can only
be used for buildings and perma-

orize the issuance of bonds se-
cured by a lien on the real prop
erty of the penitentiary By3tem
for the purpose of constructing
buildings and making perma-
nent improvements.
5. The amendment author-
izes the bonding of certain divis-
ions of a county or any number
of adjaoent counties for roads
and other public improvements
by a majority vote. It now re-
quires a two-thirds majority to
issue these bonds.
6. In the improvement of
of rivers, creeks, building of
levees to prevent overflows, the
bonded indebtedness may be for
an amount not to exceed one-
half of the assessed valuation of
the lands. It 19 now one-fourth
7. The issuance of bonds by
a majority vote for the construct-
ion and maintenance of public
warehouses or in aid thereof
may be authorized.
Therefore, we have st^ven dis-
tinct, separate and independent
propositions in one amendment,
and the voter is forced to vote
for every one of them or against
every every one of them. He is
not permitted to exercise his
own good horne sense in choos-
ing which he will oppose and
which he will favor. Bat if a
voter favors a majority vote for
the issuance of road bonds, etc.,
and opposes other provisions of
this amendment he can vote
against this resolution (No. I1-'
and for senate joint resolution
No, 4 if he favors bonded
warehouses and opposes othei
parts of this amendment, he can
vote atruinst this one and for
senate joint resolution No 4.
The ballot on No. 4 gives the
voter the opportunity to vote for
the road bond features and
against warehouses as he see?
fit. He ran vote for one or both.
[f the amendment is adopted
the legislature can issue all the
bonds of the clnts in paragraphs
two, three and four that it <!<••
sires and pay whatever rate or
interest it may wish. There is
no limit. So it is a j¿uesa as to
how many bonds (in dollar*) will
be authorized. Hut if the legis-
lature heeds the demands that
will be made, the accouut will be
-•wuaathiug like this:
for the university, 12,000,000:
for the penitentiary, $8,000,000:
for other institution?, gl,000,000,
grand total of 96,000,000. In

of varnish and paint which
painters were using in finishing
up the job of painting No one
has any idea who committed this
theft and burglary.
