Sweet WILLIAM BLANKS ATHLETICS

WHOLE LOT HAS been said and
Is being said a out this bill to
reduce the maximum salary paid
the officials OF Hidalgo and Cam

We believe that the devil, yes,
even a county official. should have
his dues.
In justice to these much malign-
ed servants OF the public, here's
something.
Can you blame them for fight
ing the bill, when 1t applies only
to these two Valley counties?
Would you take q cut In pay II
men holding the same position in
other counties were being allowed
to get theirs at the old rate?
~ Understand us.
We think that very possibly It
would be a wise move to reduce
these maximum salary allowances.
We believe that the cut should
be state wide.
And further, we cannot find 1t IN
our hearts to blame these Valley
officials for fighting the bill under
the present circumstances

NEW DIFFICULTIES
LOOM IN ELECTION
Parties Seek Plan to Select
Delegates From IA States
Awaiting Redistricting.

By the Associated Press.
Reapportsonment's shift q voting
strength has reared new obstacles IN
political paths toward nominating and
electing the next President.
Both national committees are scan
ming problems created when 81 Rep
reseEtativeS and as many presidential
electors we're allotted anew by the last
census among 30 States. What the
alignnents mean to convention delega-
tween urban and rural forces are sub
jects Of special scrutiny.
Leaders in both parties seem agreed
convention delegations should be &C.
l0cted on the basis OF the nsw appcr-
t.cnment But how 70 call the dele
gates before many States have redis-
tricted projects a puzzle for the Winter
meetings Of the national committees.
Parties Seek Plan.
Chairman Fess considers its solution q
maIor task for the mid-December gath
ering Of Republican committeeman.
Democratic chieftains, too, are endeav-
oring to frame concrete proposals for
choosing in States that have failed
TO redistrict delegates formerly named
by congressional districts.
Watching developments on the side
lines are organized groups for and
against prohibition, searching for gains
and losses OF voting power still I'M
measured at the polls.
Only l6 States have redistricted in
the usual manner. Two others-New
York and Minnesota-have sought
legal rulings on the constitutionality of
measures passed by the State Legisla-
lures without the approval of Governors.
Missouri May Elect at Large.
Minnesota's bill redistricting the State
TO eliminate one Representative was
vetoed by Farmer-Labor Governor Oh
son. It was ordered promulgated. how
ever. by the Legislature. and has been
upheld by the State Supreme Court.
New Yorks Republican Legislature
did not submit to Democratic Gov.
Roosevelt its plan allocating territory
TO two new Representatives. and the
measures legality is now before the
courts.
In Missouri a Democratic Legislature
failed after a Republican Governors
veto to order the PRONUNCIATION Of its
method of slictng three members from
the States congressional delegation.
The State faces the prospect of elect
ing all Is Representatives at large.
Other States FAN to Act.
Should the same rule apply to the
selection of convention delegates. party
leaders expect Missouri to bring new
influences to the nominating assemblies,
giving metropolitan areas unusual
strength and perhaps revising the
States prohibition vote.
An ultimate ruling of unconstitution-
atty against MinneSota's resolution
would force her nine Representatives to
campaign over the entire State. but In
the case of New York it is expected
only the two additions would be elected
at large.
