Terrell on poll tax amendment in Texas debate
Judge A W Terrell argues poll tax failures have drained school funds, citing 1900 data showing 136000 voters did not pay 1.50, costing about 156000 to education. He warns that wealthier voters and corporations influence, urges six month prepayment and zero tolerance for nonpayment to fund schools. He laments literacy gaps and pressures white citizens to back the amendment.
