Move to Divide Texas Sparks West Texas Movement
Sweetwater Texas April 2 A movement to divide Texas and form a new state arises as a protest against taxation without representation after Governor Neff vetoed the West Texas A and M bill and rural school measures and the Legislature failed to redistrict. Surrounding counties back the effort and seek West Texas Chamber of Commerce support. Representative R M Chitwood cites veto as proof West Texans are denied a chance to realize their hopes.
