Governor Hobby has requested the
State Democratic Executive Com-
mittee to place on the July primary
ballot lie •.uestioi of whether'
should be resubmitted the constitu-
tional amendment known as the
home ownership amendment. When
submitted to the people on a pre-
vious occasion the amendment was
defeated by a majority of 787 votes.
The text of the amendment follows:
Be it resolved, by the Legislature
of Ihe State of Texas:
Sec. 1. That section 50 of article
5 of the Constitution of the State
of Texas be so amended that the
same will read and hereafter be as
follows:
“Sec. 50. The Legislature shall
have no power to give or to lend,
or to authorize the giving or lend-
ing, of the credit of the State in
aid of or to any person, association
or corporation, whether municipal or
other, or to pledge the credit of the
State in any manner for the pay-
ment of the liabilities, present or
prospective of any individual, asso-
ciation of individuals, municipal or
other corporation, whatsoever ex-
cept the Legislature shall have the
power to give or to lend, or au-
thorize the giving or lending, of the
credit of the State for the purpose
of assisting native-born or natural-
ized citizens, who are heads of fami-
lies and who will become in good
faith actual occupants, to acquire or
improve their homes, urban or rural,
at their own selection, and for this
purpose the state is authorized to
assist such citizens to acquire or to
improve their homes upon such terms
and conditions and in such manner
and subject to such limitations as
the Legislature may from time to
time prescribe. The Legislature
shall have authority to create by
law such agencies as may be deemed
necessary to effect the purposes of
this amendment.. Obligations created
under this section shall never he
taxed and the Legislature shall have
authority to provide a method of
securing deferred payments for the
lands purchased hereunder and in
addition to the usual liens may se-
collected as a tax against the land;
cure the same by annual assessment
provided however the Legislature
shall have no power to relieve any
person from any obligation entered
into under thois provision or any
statue enacted hereunder. The terms
of this amendment shall hot apply
to any person who is not a bona
fide resident citizen of the State
of Texas. The rate of interest to
be charged the beneficiaries here-
under shall be as low as practicable
and shall nexer exceed 6 per cent
per annum.”
Associated Press
New York, June 8.—A transport
bringing 800 wives and children of
Polish Immigrants in this country
is on the way from Dantzig to an
American port, according ro infor-
mation received here by the Hebrew
Sheltering and Immigrant Society.
This is the first group of a total of
50,000 families to he brought to
America to be reunited with hus-
bands and fathers whom they have
been separated by war for more
than six years.
The Hebrew sooiety has under-
taken to find the wives and chil-
dren of Polish immigrants who have
been prevented by the war from
sending any aid to their families,
many of whom have been driven out
of their homes in the war zone and
have become lost to their kind in
this country.
“This is not a project of new im-
migration,” said John L. Bernstein,
the society’s president. “Much harm
has been done by the statement that
we were inducing Jewish people of
Poland to come over. That is not
the fact. We have absolutely no
concern' with any intended immi-
grants except the wives and chil-
dren of men already in this country,
more than 60 per cent of whom are
now American citizens.”
Mr. Bernstein said that the work
which the society was carrying on
was done with the hearty consent
and co-operation of the Bureau of
Immigration and the State Depart-
ment.
“We began our work,” he said,
“by advertising that we would at-
tempt to locate these men’s fami-
lies and help them get to America.
Our seven agencies all over the
country were immediately flooded
with pleas from 50,000 men who, be-
cause of the war had not been able
to bring their families back or even
communicate with them. In some
cases the men had no idea where
their loved ones lived.
“Our task has been to take what
information we could get of the
last known residences of these wives
and children and put our commis-
sioners in Poland on the trail to
locate them. When this is done we
advise the family head in America
how much money it will t.a»e to
bring his people over and help him
through the formalities of proving
their right of admittance. When the
families actually arrive we will care
for them until they can be estab-
lished in their new homes which
are scattered over the United States
but generally in cities, not in farms.”

WEATHERFORD HAS FIVE
GRADUATES AT UNIVERSITY.
Associated Press
Austin, Texas, June 7.—Yotlng wo-
men students in the home economics
department at the University of
Texas are learning how to cut the
cost of feeding a family. At the
beginning the prime thing is to get
a meal, but toward the finish of
the course the young woman has
also to turn out the finished product
cheap.
The university expects its young
experts to cut about half off the
cost of a lunch by switching de-
serts and leaving off biscuits. Here
is a sample of its before and after
college menus:
For 45 cents a plate for four per-
sons: salmon croquettes, mashed po-
tatoes, iced tea, tomato salad, bis-
cuit, strawberries and ice cream.
For 24 cents a plate for four per-
sons (toward the end of course):
creamed tuna fish on toast, French
fried potatoes, apple and celery sal-
ad, hot tea, lemon pie.
