The section year poll tax payments totaled 1,116 482 with 15 percent exemptions, boosting eligible voters to 1,283,807. Farris counties led in payments at 68,083, Atlas 56, Ty and Bexar 60,871, while WEB 1,180,008 residents were registered. About 6,000,900 total population, with 2,743,500 of working age. Nearly 60 percent of working-age residents appear eligible to vote.
The Sterling Plan would shift highway funding burdens from farms homes and other property to road users by bonding the gasoline tax. State and county bond costs would be retired by vehicle traffic rather than county ad valorem taxes, potentially lowering property taxes while funding highway construction. Voters would decide on the plan in the counties, with not altering local voting tax but reducing read taxes in most counties.
