to $1,000 If Texas voters next year
approve a proposed constitutional
amendment submitted by the legiS-
lature this year.
This is one Of the four constitu-
tional amendments TO be voted on
at the general election next year.
It would increase the total sal
airy item for a regular session from
the present $54.600 10 $2l6,400.
The proposed amendment in
creaSes from so to 100 days the
duration of a regular session at
which members would get full pay,
and increases the compensation
from S. TO $40 a day. The session
could continue indefinitely at S.
per day compensation. as 1t may at
present for 81 pay.
Voters who defeated the pro-
posed nine-member supreme court
amendment in July will pass on an
other amendment In 1880 affecting
supreme court. This would require
the court to stay in session at all
times, abcliShing the three-month
summer vacation now provided.
Another amendment would per-
NIT the University Of Texas to in
vest its permanent fund in a wide
range or bonds and securities, in
GLIDING pledges OF the university
itself, and dormitory or other
building pledges. Adoption Of this
amendment would permit the uni

innate building program Of nearly

The fourth amendment to be
voted on would permit counties in
west Texas to tax lands owned by
the university within their boun-
