BRIEF RESUME OF THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
TO BE VOTED ON SATURDAY
Below is a brief resume of the
proposed amendments to the
Texas Constitution to be voted
on Saturday, August 25th, and
is given herein as each amend-
ment will appear on your ballot:
Amendment No. 1—
This amendment provides that
during the time the United
States is engaged in fighting a
war, or within one year after
the close of the calendar year in.
which said war is terminated, no
person, who at the time of hold-
ing any election in this State au-
thorized by law, or who, within
eighteen months immediately
prior to the time of holding anyj^ witb both state and Federal

States or of the Armed Force Re- m0nth.
the concurrence of five shall be
necessary to a decision of a case.
Our present Court consists of
three Justices and a Commission
of Appeals composed of six
Judges who now assist the Su-
preme Court without power to
vote and this amendment, if
adopted, will make the six Com-
missioners full members of the
Court with voting power on de-
cisions.
Amendment No. 4—
This amendment, if "adopted,
will empower the Legislature to
increase the amount for old age
assistance from $15.00 per month
(as now provided by the Consti
tution) to $20.00 per month of
State funds to be matched by the
Federal Government with a like
amount, which in effect would
j College Station—Today the i
United States has the least sugar
j she’s had since the last Avar. Our
j sugar reserve probably can’t be
rebuilt until 1947.
As you probably know, only
about one-fourth of our sugar is
grown in the 48 states. So when
the Avar started our sugar trou-
bles began, too. Not only the
United States, but our allies Avere
cut off from sugar in the Pacific
areas, except from Hawaii. And
likely many more months will
pass before most of the Pacific
Avill ship sugar to us again, even
from the Philippines.
In the meantime, our allies
avIio were formerly dependent on
home groAvn sugar and on sugar
from the Pacific have had to ob-
tain some of their sugar from the
Carribean area. That means less
sugar for the United States. With
less sugar to buy on the Avorid
market and more people to buy
it, our national supplies have
gradually dwindled.
In the face of that, we used

to buy it and the appetites to eat

Now Ave have practically no re-

crop in Cuba was 900,000 tons

Fortunately, more sugar beets

to balance other shortages and

Texans feel honored in the se-

a Texan for the high office of
Attoreny General of the United
States: Tom C. Clark of Dallas.
Friends of Miss Myrtle Hesse
Avill be glad to knoAv that she is
doing nicely after a tonsilectomy
in Waco last week.
Secretary of Agriculture An-
derson already has said that if
there is a heavy run of cattle to
market late this month and next,
he believes it Avill be possible to
eliminate rationing in September.
Official advisors on food prob-
lems are known to be arguing
for a quick abolition of meat ra-
tioning, sayinig thht prospects
are that demand will slump . as
Avar workers are throAvn tempor-
arily out of jobs.
OPA confined itself to broad
hints of point reductions to come
in September.
The agency indicated that the
, reductions Avould be substantial,
and in anticipation of them au-
thorized hotels, restaurants and
other institutional users to ob-
tain red point loans from local
ration boards to tide.them over
j until the September-October al-
lotment period.
Restaurants, hotels and other
industrial users’ Avho have less
than 25 per cent of their red
point allotment for the July and
August rationing period Avill be
eligible to apply for loans, be-
ginning Wednesday of this week.
Even after repaying tlie bor-
roAved points, the agency said,
restaurants still can expect
enough meat to get along. =
