TENNESSEE LAW
MAKERS RAPED
Anti-Evolution Law De.
clared Deliberate Vio-
lation of Duty
(By The Associated Press)

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 27.-Tennes-
sees anti-evolution law was declared
a deliberate violation by the legsla-
ture of its fundamental duty to cherish
science" in an address prepared foi
delivery before the State Bar Associ-
atoms annual meeting here today by
Robert S. Keebler, Memphis lawyer.
= If our constitution means anything, :
he said, sit. means that science must
be FREQ to pursue it's painstaking re-
searches"
Declaring that lawyers, of whatever
religious convictions or scientific be,
liefs, could rot help but be profoundly
interested in the legal aspects of the
situation, Mr.. Keebler indicted the anti
evolution as unconstitutional upon the
following grounds:
1T violates the solemn duty imposed
by the constitution of the state Of Ten
nessee upon the legislature to cherish
science.
1t violates our constitutional guar
anty of religious freedom.
1T violates the 18th amendment tt
our federal constitution.
Insofar as our university is con
cerned, it violates the solemn contrac
between the state of Tennessee and tn,
United States"
The general doctrine of evolution i.
so pronounced, he said, that the evo
luton of man from a lower order o.
animals is no longer regarded as +;
theory but as fact. Scientists diffel
as to the contributing factors that enter
into this progressive evolutionary life.

VALLEY AN EMPIRE,
DECLARES VISITOR

!. "A nation will soon feed from the
hand of this magic empire of the South
west" declared Harry J. Bruner. man
aging director of the Texas Develop,
ment Bureau Who arrived in the Valley
yesterday from Austin.
Texas, with little more than twelve
per cent of the area of the whole United
States is now producing eleven and a
half per cent of the crops of the country
and still the State of Texas is less than
eighteen per cent developed. With tire
eyes of practically the entire nation up
on Texas which is conceded by econo-
mic leaders everywhere to be the last
frontier in America, the time is not far
distant when the now scattered vine-
yards, groves and orchards will develop
into marvellous estates and industrial
giants~will replace the projects which are
| now justly the pride of their founders.
Mr.. Bruner said.
"The stupendous growth of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley during the past few
years to me has no comparison, salo
| Mr.. Bruner while discussing this section
oft he state. 1T possibilities for fur
ther development depends only upon the
vision of its citizens who have withir
the past few years carved out garder
of paradise from jungle of cactus anc
mesquite.
Mr.. Bruner will remain in the Valley
| for several days in connection with the
early organization of district numbel
one of the Texas Development Bureau
which comprises. the entire area OF the
Valley and the territory adjacent t.
Corpus Christi an6 Laredo. He salo
the program for tits district would be
announced at an early date through
members of the district board which ls
now in process Of organization.
