Envy Of The World
The history of the world, since recorded time began, has
been blackened at regular and frequent intervals by terrible
famines. Countless millions have died miserably from hunger.
And those cataclysms were not confined to long past, primitive
times. In the last quarter century starvation has stalked through
China, Russia, and other nations.
Yet, in the United States,, we have never had a famine.
Some may say short-sightedly that this is because we are
blessed with an abundance of resources. But other countries,
where the standard of living is abysmally low compared with
ours, have great resources also.,Some may think it is because
we work harder. Yet in the hunger-ridden nations the aver-
age man and woman work much longer hours, and perform
a great deal more manual labor, than does the average Ameri-
can.
The basic reason for our abundance lies elsewhere. It
has been in a theory of government that encourages every
man to do his utmost and reap the rewards that has stimulated
[voluntary, individual enterprise and that, finally, has given
every man the right to compete with any other in his chosen
field. ]
We see how this system works on every hand. As a
simple example, every American can walk into a store and
buy all the meat he wants—something that is impossible in
most .other countries. Free enterprise is responsible for putting
that meat in the butcher’s showcase—for turning steers, hogs
and other animals into cuts that are ready for consumption.
To meet the needs of the country, a great packing industry has
been developed to bridge the gap between the livestock pro-
ducer and our homes. It performs a vital service at a cost which
is almost unbelievably small.
So it goes, in every field of enterprise. Free people, work-
ing ini a free economy, have made the American standard of
living the envy of the world.

A JOINT RESOLUTION—S. J. R. NO. 2
proposing an amendment to Sec-
tion 28 of Article. Ill of the Constitu-
tion of the State of Texas, so as to
provide for a Board for apportioning
the state into senatorial districts and
represen'/ative districts in the event the
Legislature fails to make such ap_
portionment; providing for the issuance
of the necessary proclamation by the
Governor; and making an appropriation.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLA-
TURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
Section 1. That Section 28 of Article
III of the Constitution of the State of
Texas be amended so as hereafter to
read as follows:
“Section 28. The Legislature shall,
at its first regular session after the
publication of each United States de-
cennial census, apportion the state into
senatorial and representative districts
agreeable to the provisions of Sections
25, 26. and 26-a of this Article. In the
event the Legislature shall at any such
first regular session following the publi-
cation of a United States decennial
census, fail to make such apportionment,
same shall be done by the Legislative
JRedistricting Board of Texas, which
is hereby created, and shall be com-
posed of five (5) members, as follows:
The Lieutenant Governor, the Speaker
of the House of Representatives, the
Attorney General, the Comptroller of
Public Accounts and the Commissioner
of the General Land Office, a majority
of whom shall constitute a quorum. Said
Board shall assemble in the City of
Austin within ninety (90) days after
the final adjournment of such regular
session. The Board shall, within sixty
(60) days after assembling, apportion
the state into senatorial and representa-
tive' districts, or into senatorial or rep-'
resentative districts, as the failure of
action of such Legislature may make
necessary. Such apportionment shall be
in writing and signed by three (3) or
more of the members of the Board duly
acknowledged as the act and deed of
such Board, and, when so executed and
filed with the Secretary of State, shall
have force and effect of law. Such ap-
portionment shall become effective at the
next succeeding statewide general elec-
tion. The Supreme Court of Texas shall
have jurisdiction to compel such Com-
mission to perform its duties in accord-
ance with the provisions of this section
by writ of mandamus or other extra-
ordinary writs conformable to the usages
of law. The Legislature shall provide
necessary funds for clerical and tech-
nical aid and for other expenses in-
cidental to the work of the Board, and
the Lieutenant Governor and the Speak-’
er of the House of Representatives shall
be entitled to receive per diem and
travel expense during the Board’s ses-
sion in the same manner and amount
as they would receive while attending
a special session of the Legislature. This
amendment shall become effective Jan-
uary 1, 1951.”
Sec. 2. The foregoing Constitutional
amendment shall be submitted to a vote
of the qualified electors of this state
at an election to be held throughout the
state on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, A. D. 1948,
at which all ballots shall have printed
thereon:
“For the amendment to Section 28,
Article III of the Constitution of Texas
providing for a Board for apportion-
ment of the state into senatorial dis-
tricts and representative districts in the
event the Legislature fails to make such
apportionment.
“Against the amendment to Section
28, Article III of the Constitution of
Texas providing for a Board for ap-
portionment of the state into senator-
ial districts and reprentative districts
in the event the Legislature fails to
make such apportionment.”
Each voter at such election shall
mark out one of such clauses on the
ballot, leaving the clause expressing his
vote on the proposed amendment.
Sec. 3. The Governor of the State of
Texas shall issue the necessary procla-
mation for said election, and shall have
the same published as required by the
Constitution and laws of this state.
Sec. 4. The sum of Ten Thousand
(810,000.00) Dollars or so much thereof
as may be necessary, is hereby ap-
propriated out of any funds in the
treasury of this state not otherwise ap-
propriated, to pay the expenses of such
publication and election.

prejudice to the right of existing credi-
tors the portion or interest set aside to
each spouse shall be and constitute
part of the separate property of such
spouse: further providing that such Con-
stitutional Amendment if adopted shall
be self-operative and’ self-executing; pro-
viding for the submission of this Amend-
ment to the voters of this State; pre-
scribing the form of ballot: providing
for the proclamation and publication
thereof.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLA-
TURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
Section 1. That Section 15 of Article
XVI of the Constitution of the State
of Texas be amended so as to read as
follows:
“Section 15. All property, both real
and personal, of the wife, owned or
claimed by her before marriage, and that
acquired afterward by gift, devise or
descent, ^shall be the separate property
of the wife: and laws shall be passed
more clearly defining the rights of the
wife, in relation as well to her separate
property as that held in common with
•her husband: provided that husband and
wife, without prejudice to pre-existing
creditors, may from time to time by
written instrument as if the wife were
a feme sole partition between them-
selves in severalty or into equal undivid-
ed interests all or any part of their
Existing community property, or ex-
change between themselves the com-
munity interest of one spouse in any
property for the community interest o&
the other spouse in other community
property, whereupon the portion or
interest set aside to each spouse shall
be and constitute a part of the separate
property of such spouse.
This Amendment is self-operative, but
laws may be passed prescribing re-
quirements as to the form and manner
of execution of such instruments, and
providing for their recordation, and
for such other resasonable requirements
not inconsistent herewith as the Legisla-
ture may from time to time consider
proper with relation to the subject of
this Amendment. Should the Legislature
pass an Act dealing with the subject
of this Amendment and prescribing re-
quirements as to the form and manner
of the execution of such instruments and
providing for their recordation and other
'reasonable requirements not inconsis-
tent" herewith and anticipatory hereto,
such Act shall not be invalid by reas-
on of its anticipatory character and
shall take effect just as though this
Constitutional Amendment was in effect
when the Act was passed.”
