BASTROP COUNTY
4-H GIRLS' FAIR
Plans are being made for the
second annual 4-H eirls fair for
Bastrop county which has been
tentatively set for Saturday, Sept.
1, according to Miss Lena Sturgis,
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
TO BE VOTED ON SAT., AUG. 25
Saturday, August 25, the voters of Texas will be called upon to
adopt or reject Four amendments to the Constitution.
The F'RST on the ballot will be one granting members of the
armed forces to vote without the payment of poll taxes while the
country is at war and within a certain time thereafter. Of course
every one favors this and wilj vote FOR it.
The SECOND amendment on the ballot is the amendment calling
for continuous pay of legislators. It retains the $10 per day rate
which members now receive during the 120 days of regular sessions
of the legislature, but provides the compensation shall go on during
the entire two-year term.
This would mean a salary of $8,650 a year to legislators, which
most of the members have shown is still less than the actual cost to
them to serve as representatives and senators—campaign expenses,
expenses incurred while living away from home, and the loss of time
from law practices, school rooms, business or professions. This was
debated extensively whether the continuous-pay plan would attract
abler men and women to legislative service, or whether it would result
in very much change in the present personnel. Members agreed it
will be an incentive for many more and better qualified persons to
run for legislative seats, if adopted it would encourage long-term ser-
vice by members—encourage them to give full time and make a pro-
fessional career of legislative service.
The time has passed when but few men with ability and qualifica-
tions can or will sacrifice time and money serving as a member of the
legislature, he just simply cannot afford to give the time and atten-
tion to the office that it demands for $600.00 a year, the last few
sessions have demonstrated that fact. If you want to improve your
legislative branches you will vote to put the members on a full time
salary and demand a full time service, get good men or quit kicking
about the legislature "doing nothing."
The THIRD on the ballot provides for a 9 Member elective Texas
Supreme Court rather than 3 members elected and 6 commissioners
appointed as at present. No one should oppose this one as it is a
very decided judicial reform.
The FOURTH and last one on the ballot is H. J. R. No. 13, which
will permit the State to match Federal funds for Old Age Assistance
making $40.00 per month possible, and to match other funds for the
aid of needy blind and for dependent children, providing thw. the total
amount of State money for any one year shall not exceed $35,000,-
000.00.
The only objection to this is the ceiling of $35,000,000.00, but
this Is much better than nothing for even under the ceiling the legis-
lature may appropriate $6,730,000.00 MORE each year than is now
being appropriated, which when matched with federal funds will a-
mount to $13,460,000.00 MORE than is now beircK received, and it
is highly probable that the constitutional ceiling will not be reached
for many years. Besides if necessary the ceiling may at any time be

43 YEARS IN
BUSINESS HERE
After forty-three years in busi-
ness in Bastrop. John O. Turner

decision to retire.
Starting out in Oho business
world in Bastrop in the employ-
ment of J. M Holt in 1902, Mr.

Co. until 1029, when he opened the
Pool Val-U-Plus Store in the Kc«-
selus Building On January 1.

leaders of the town for many
year*, and though he has retired
from business, Bastrop citizens
look forward to having his help
and influence in civic matters for
many years to come.

number of years ha« maintained
the bat and gift *hop in the rear

her business temporarily, while
she enjoys a well-deserved vaca-
tion. She expres*e* her appreci-
ation to her patrons and frienos
for the pa*t business favors, and
assures them that she will be back
in Bastrop, ready for business, rn
the early fall, or as soon as she
can find a suitable location.
Her customers are looking for-
ward to having her re-open br
shop, since hers was the only ^hop
of its kind in Bastrop, and in the
event it should not re-open, it
would be greatly missed,
