Passage would avert cuts if federal funds end, with quick repayment funded by a small per capita tax.

Texas faces a looming relief crisis as federal funds prop up 1,270 Texans daily and aid may not meet fall and winter demand. A proposed constitutional amendment would authorize up to 20 million in bonds over two years to match federal relief funds, but defeat would stop bond action until 1935 and leave counties with deficits amid drought and unemployment.
