Carr Defends Poll Tax In Federal Suit In Texas
Austin Atty Gen Waggoner Carr argued in a pre trial hearing that Texas poll tax is not discriminatory and cited a Southern Regional Council survey showing higher Negro voting eligibility payment and registration rates. He said the $1.75 poll tax funds the Available School Fund, and noted no discriminatory disenfranchisement per the 1961 Civil Rights Commission findings. The suit could trigger a special legislative session to replace registration rules.
