delegates, one pledged to vote for
ratification of the Twenty-first
Amendment, which repeals the
Eighteenth Amendment, and the
other set pledged to vote against the
Twenty-first Amendment, which is
against repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment. This vote will de-
termine the attitude of Texas voters

The State Constitution prohibits the
iasuance of state bonds, but there
are many who feel that the emer-
gency that has arisen justines
changing the constitution in this
particular instance. The federal
government has warned Texas and
a number of other states that fed-
eral help will cease unless the states
or the cities make further provision
for unemployment relief.
Quite a bit of interest, especlally
to 13 counties of more, than 62,000
population, has peen axoused over
the "Home Rule" amendment, which
would allow those counties to vet
up government for their lo-
cal needs, and also would allow the
smaller counties to do likewise, on
authority from the Legaslature. This
amendment requires any change to
county government to receive ma-
girtties from the rural voters as
