Texas Voters Face Confederate Pension Tax Amendment Vote
The legislature proposes adding Sections 171 and 18 to Article VII to levy a seven cent state ad valorem tax for Confederate pensions and for financing state higher learning institutions. The plan creates two and five cent sub-taxes totaling up to thirty cents, funding pensions and building and equipment at Texas A&M and the University of Texas. A concurrent election is set for the fourth Saturday in August 1947 with a ten thousand dollar appropriation for publication and election costs.
