AMENDMENT
VOTE LIGHT
Little Interest Shown In
Valley; Proposals Are
Favored

The Valley Tuesday was helping
the state decide two proposed
amendments to the state constitu-
ton.
At noon % boxes in Cameron,
Hidalgo and Willacy counties had
reported 1876 votes and indications
were that at least the morning
vote would be one of the lightest
ever cast in q constitutional cleo
ton.
The first amendment, to increase
the membership Of the state SUI
preme court from three to nine
members, and to provide for a con-
tinuous session Of that court, was
believed to have a better chance for
passage than the second, which
would increase the governors salary
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year, the
increase to become effective with
the close Of Governor Moody's ad-
ministration.
County officials are Of the opin-
ion that the recent action of the
governor in vetoing a measure to
increase the salaries of county Off
Gals, has greatly injured the
chances OF the amendment to pro-
vide for a better salary for future
governors.
Proponents Of the amendment
argue that the states governors are
penalized in that they are forced
to bear many expenditures out Of
their own pocket and at the same
time could be making more money
were they working for themselves.
They add that college presidents,
the state highway engineer and sew
eral department heads make annual
salaries from $500 to $4,000 per
year.
The amendment to increase the
membership of the supreme court
was the chief issue in Gov. Moody's
court reform platform and since 1t
is supported by leading jurists and
members of the bar over the state,
it is felt it has a fair chance to be
passed. It would require no addi-
tional expense, as the present six
assistants employed would no longer
be needed and their six successors
who would be made members Of
the court would draw the same sal
aries.
The only additional question to be
decided in Cameron county is in
the Rangerville precinct. which will
vote on an issue of $4,000 bonds for
the erection Of a new school build
ing.

HOLDS RELIGION
ISFAC|NG CRISIS.
Prof. Hayden Says Factors
of Civilization Have Broken
From Control Of IdeaIism.

HYANNIS, Mass, August 23.-Prof.
A. Eustace Hayden Of the University
of Chicago declared today before the
Institute of World Unity here that the
Christian religion was facing the
greatest crisis In its history.
The Western World, Prof Hayden
said was now eating the bitter refusal
OF Christianity to make adjustment
to the new era OF civilization which
began with the renaissance. One by
one, the determining factors which
make CiViiiza ton have broken away
from the control Of religious ideallsIn,

The new civilization" he said. "ol
The era of applied science and industry
has been created without any con-
sciouSnous OF religious vision or any
conservation TO the ideal Of making a
world III which the ordinary mans
dreams OF a worth and full life can be
realized"
Christian leaders, ne said, we're aware
OF the problem OF harmonizing Chris
tianity With the modern world, but the
problem could not be solved by any
mere superficial rephrasing church
creeds. The effort of modernist the
ologians to save medieval theology by
rationahAing and reinterpretins it, he
termed futility. i

Should the bill prove Unacceptable TO
