In time be demanded by the
bat it, i. , rent, of the state, provided the
node and manner by which it might be
mended as lollows:
t-uan Art. 17. The legislature at any
biennial session by a vote of two-thirds of
ail the members elected to each house, to
be entered by yeas and nays ou (lie jour
nal nmv nrniinre amendments to the con
stitution to be voted npon by the qualified
electors for members of the legis
lature, which proposed amendments
shall be duly published once
week for four weeks, commencing at
least three months belore an election,
the time of which shall be specilied by the
legislature in one weekly newspaper of each
county In which such a newspaper is pub
lished. And It shall be the duty of the
several returning otlicers ol said election to
open a poll for and make return to the
secretary of state of the number of legal
votes cast at said election tor and against
aid amendments, and il
more than one be proposed
then the number of votes cast lor and
against each of them; and if it sliull appear
from said returns that a majority of the
Totes cast have been cast in favor of any
amendment, the said amendment so re
ceiving a majority of the votes cast shall
become a part of tbe constitution, and proc
lamation shall be made by the governor
thereof.
In conformity thereto theKighteentli leg
islature have submitted lor votir approval
or rejection the following joint resolutions,
each of which contains a proposition to
amend the section or sections ol the consti
tution therein referred to.
We will present them in their order:
First Joint resolution No. 2 proposes
amendments to sections 4 and 0 of article 7
of the present constitution, which require
the investment of all the proceeds of the
eales of the school lands belonging
to the state ana to the
eevfralco'inties in Texas slate bonds or in
(Tuited States bonds. The amendment
proposed so changes section 4 as to em
power tbe comptroller under instructions
of the board of education to Invest the pro
ceeds of the sale of the state school lands in
Texas state bonds, United StuteB bonds,
Texas county bonds, or other securities as
may be provided by law and makes the stale
responsible for all investments. And section
6 so that the proceeds of the sale of county
school bonds may be invested In state or
United States bonds or such other securities
as may be prescribed by law, and makes
the counties responsible for all invest
ments; tbe Interest thereon and oilier
revenue, except the principal, shall be
available school fund. The purpose of the
legislature In proposing this amendment Is
made manifest by consideration of the fuel
that the premiums in both state and Fed
eral bonds Is so high as compared to the low
rate of interest they bear that to continue
to invest tbe school funds in either would
be destructive to the prime olijoct for
which investment Is made, that Is, the se
curing of an available school fund.
Second Seotion 9 article 8 of the present
constitution authorizes the levy of not
more than 50 cents on the $100 valua
tion, exclusive of the tax necessary to pay
the public debt, and no county, city or
town shall levy more than one-half ol said
state tax except lor payment of debts al
ready incurred and for the erection of pub
lio buildings, not to exceed SO cents on
tne (100 valuation In any one year, and ex
cept as to this constitution is otherwise
provided. Tbe amendment proposed' to
the foregoing by joint resolut on No. 4,
is In substance as follows : "The tax on
property, exclusive of the tax necessary to
pay the public debt and for tbe taxes pro
vided for the benelit of the public free
schools, shall never exceed 35 cents on the
$100 valuation, and no county, city or
town shall levy more than 25 cents on the
$100 valuation for el'y or county purposes
nd not exceeding 15 ctnts on the $100 valu
ation for roads ami bridges, except lor the
payment of debts incurred prior to the
adoption of this amendment and for tho
erection of public buildings, street sowers
and other permanent improvements, not to
exceed 25 cents on the $100 valuation, in
any one year," etc., etc.
This joint resolution, it will be observed,
proposes a reduction of the maximum state
ad valorem tax, froni',60 to 85 cents on the
$100 valuatlou, and also to settle definitely
the maximum limits of county, city and
town taxation. There is such ambiguity
in section 9 as it now reads, that there
is great diversity of opinion as to the maxi
mum rate of taxation permitted to counties,
cities and towns, which question will be
definitely settled by the adoption of the pro-
Cosed amendment. It also authorizes a levy
y the county commissioners court of a tax
not to exceed 15 cents on the $100 valuation
tor roads and bridges, a power which the
legislature tbonght might well be lodged
With the court for that purpose.
Third Section 8 article 7 of the present
constitution reads as follows: "There shall
be set apart annually not more than
one-fourth of the general revenue of
the state, and ;a ;poll-tax of $1 on all male
inhabitants of the state between the ages
of 21 and 00 years tor the benelit ol publio
tree sohools."
Joint resolution No. 5 proposes to amend
aid section so as to hereafter read as fol
lows :
"Section 3, One-fourth of the revenue de
rived trout state occupation taxes and a poll
tax of $1 on every male inhabitant of this
stale between the ages of 21 and 00 years
hall be set apart annually for the benefit
of the public tree schools of the state, aud
in addition thereto there shall be levied
' and collected an annual ad valorem state
' tax of such an amount not to exceed 20
cents oft the $100 valuation as with the
available school fund arising from all other
onrces will be stilllciont to maintain and
support the public free schools of the state
not less than sis months in each year and
the legislature pi ay also provide for the
formation of scfiool districts wltliluallor
any oi the . counties of this state
" by general- or special law,
without local notice, ana may authorize
an additional annual ad valorem tax to be
levied and collected within such school dis
trict for the further maintenance of public
free sohools and the erection of free-school
buildings therein; provided, that two-thirds
of the qualified property tax-paying voters
ol the district voting at an election
to be held for that purpose
ball vote inch tax, not to exoeed in any
one year 30 cents on the $100 valuation or
the property subject to taxation In suoh
dlstrlot.but the limitation npon the amount
Of the district tax herein authorised shall
, not apply to Incorporated cities or towns
constituting separate and independent
school district."
There was in the opinion of the legisla
ture do on question of publio policy npon
which the people of Taxas without regard
to bart affiliations Were mora hirmnnlnni.
I united than that of the great wisdom of
eeieeiwuiueut ana niaiQMoance oy toe
UU ol an efficient yttem of publio free
tehoola. The attainment of this decider,
turn by tbe legislature work?
Jog under our present organ-
icliwhubffn demonstrated by theeipe-
nencieol years to h utterly irupotsible, ex-
rent bT the k renin e of the stale au
valorem tax at such figures as will draw
from the pockets of tbe tax-payers lamely
in excess of the amount necessary to carry
on '.the expense of the state government
economically administered. In other
words, your legislature loiina ii
impossible to reduce the state ad
valorem tax to tne minimum ueces
sary tor tbe support ol government,
without at the same time incurring
the mortilication tol having to starve the
schools. Krmembering the fact that the
people of Texas, of all parties, wthrrmark
ao!e unanimity during the last political
canvass in the state demanded of their can
didates for legislative honors that they
should submit to them a proposition to so
amend tne constitution as to enable tne
legislature in the future to separate the
scliool tax from that levied
tor the supiiort of government,
to the end that tne state tax might be re
duced to the proper figures without detri
ment to the schools, and to the elimination
tor the future to a very great extent of tbe
school question from the field of politics, in
response to which demand the legislature
submitted the foregoing amendment. The
legislature were of the opinion that the max
imum allowed to be levied by this pro
posed amendment would be amply sulll
cient with the addition of the revenues
from oilier sources to which the schools
are entitled to give the very best of school
facilities tor at least six months In tne
year, which in the opinion of a majority
of them wus as long a time as free
schools should now be sup
ported by general stale taxation,
from the fact that the agricultural classes,
who pay the bulk of the taxes, in conse
quence of being compelled to utilize the
labor of their children of scholastic age
in the cultivation and harvesting of their
crops, cannot as a general rule avail tliein-
Bslves of the benelit ol a longer term of
school than six months in the year.
This joint resolution was passed by nn al
most Uiiniiiinous vote through both
branches of the legislature, under the firm
C mvictioii that it was demanded, not only
by all political parties, but by the very best
and highest interests of the state.
Fouth Joint resolution No. 0 proposes
an amendment to article ft of the constitu
tion by adding section 2d, which simply
has the eflect of authorizing the county
commissioners courts of the several civili
ties to reduce the number ol terms ol the
county courts to not less than four terms
in any one year lor both civil and criminal
business, Instead ol at least six terms for
civil and twelve terms for criminal business,
as the constitution now requires,
which amendment, it was thought,
would materially reduce the ex
pense of the courts without prejudice to
tlie efllciency of the jud'eial system. The
legislature, realizing tne ditlictifly ol having
the changes which are sought to be elleeied
in the present constitution and the reiisons
thorefor, sulKciently advertised to give the
people a lair understanding ol their import
and purpose, and knowing that
the people of Texas in con
sequence of the conservatism for wnich
they are so much distinguished, are dis
posed to vote against any change in their
organio law which they do not fully and
clearly understand, adopted the following
concurrent resolution:
'llesolved, That a committee of three
members from the senate and three from
the house be appointed to prepare an ad
dress to the people touching
the constitutional amendments adopt
ed by the Kighteonth legislature,
giving tho reasons for the changes therein
proposed in the organic law aud the ex
planation ot their purposes, to tho end Hint
the great body of the people may he fullv
informed with reference thereto, and the
better enabled to vote understanding
upon the question ol their adeption or re
jection." The undersigned were appointed such
committee in compliance with the fore
going resolution and in performance ot the
duty thereby imposed, they present the
fpregoiug explanation of the joint rcsolu
tions by which the proposed amendments
are offered lor your adoption or rejection,
an I some of the reasons which inllueiiced
the legislature in submitting tho same for
your rttuueauon.
