Texan Senate Joint Resolution adds new sections for confederate pensions and college bonds
The document proposes amending Article 7 to add Sections 17 and 18. It levies two state ad valorem taxes: 2 cents for a Confederate pension fund and 5 cents for permanent improvements at state higher learning institutions. It authorizes bonds, sets terms up to 10 years, limits overall tax to 30 cents, and directs funds from the 5 cent levy for ten years starting 1948 to named institutions including John Tarleton Agricultural College among others.
