Proposed Amendment to Texas Constitution Initiative Referendum
Supplement details two senate joint resolutions SJR No. 12 and SJR No. 26 proposing constitutional amendments in Texas. The first would let people initiate laws and approve or reject them at the polls, with a 20 percent petition trigger, and specify ballot wording and publication requirements before the November 1914 election. The second sets legislative pay at 1200 dollars per year plus mileage, extends regular sessions, and directs a proclamation and funding.
