Special session approves highway amendments for ballot
The state legislature adjourned after adopting two constitutional amendments for voter ratification in November. One restricts state involvement in internal improvements to highways only and bans general property taxes or bonds for such roads. The other grants the state power to levy road taxes on motor vehicles and fuels. Proponents cited highway funding needs amid current tax protests by oil firms. The road measure was led by Senator Knapp of Coffeyville and the tax amendment by Senator Benn F. Hegler of Wichita.
