Texas Proposal for Pensions and Higher Education Bonds
A proposed Texas constitutional amendment adds Sections 17 and 18 to Article VII creating a two cent tax for Confederate pensions and a five cent tax to fund construction at state colleges and universities. It authorizes bonds up to 30 years, funded from the new taxes and the Permanent University Fund, with election set for August 1947 and a state expenditure of 10000 dollars for publication and election costs.
