Waco, Texas, June 23.—W. V. Craw-
ford, president of the Texas Highway
Association, issued today a statement
outlining the provisions of the propos-
ed highway amendment to the state
constitution to be voted on by the peo-
ple on July 28:
“In spite of all the discussion in the
press,” he said, “there seems to be a
widespread misunderstanding of the
proposed amendment. The many in-
quiries we have received indicate that
a great many people do not know
what it provides. It occurs to me,
therefore, that a simple statement of
its provisions is very necessary.
“The amendment proposes to add
the following provisions to the state
constitution:
“The legislature is authorized and
directed to provide for the creation,
establishment, construction, mainten-
ance and repair of a system of improv-
ed highways throughout the state, to
be under the control of the state, and
in order that the state may provide
the means, revenues and instrumental-
ities for the establishment and main-
tenance of such system of highways,
the legislature is empowered to levy
and cause to be collected specific ex-
cise and ad valorem taxes, in addition
to those permitted for other purposes
in the constitution, but such ad valo-
rem taxes shall be Imposed only for
the purpose of retiring the bonds au-
thorized by vote of the people of this
state as provided for hereinafter in
this section.
“When said system shall have been
designated and taken over for the
state as provided in Section A hereof
the legislature is authorized to make

tion to such counties for the value of
Such improvements as have been
theretofore constructed by the coun-
ties in the state.
“Provided, also that, save for the
state highway system, in all other re-
spects, counties shall have the right
to build, construct and maintani roads,
turnpikes and bridges within their re-
spective boundaries, and the constitu-
tional provisions relating thereto are
not qualified or repealed by reason
hereof.
“Then there is a section authorizing
and directing the legislature to enact
legislation to put these provisions into
effect.
“First of all it should be said that
the provision which refers to ad valo-
rem taxes can be ignored, for the sec-
tion which would have authorized the
issuance of bonds was stricken out by
the senate. It was intended to strike
out also the reference to ad valorem
taxes, but in the rush of the closing
hours of the regular session this was
overlooked. But it is inoperative and
the same as though it had been strick-
en out. For it applies only to the sec-
tion which was stricken out, and no ad
valore mtaxes could be levied if the
amendment is adopted.
“If that point is kept in mind there
should be no difficulty in understand-
nig the amendment. It provides for
the creation of a state highway sys-
tem and for the levying of ’specific
excise taxes’ for the establishment
and maintenance of sucha system.
“If the amendment is adopted the
designated state highways will lbe ta-
ken over by the state and the counties
will be relieved of the duty and ex-
I cnse of constructing and maintaining
such highways in the future.
“The excise taxes it authorizes does
not nicrease the power of the state to
raise revenue. The state can levy
excise taxes now, only they are called
occupation taxes. But one-fourth of
all occupation taxes must go to the
school fund, and this amendmea*
would make pcss.’V-.e the levyiug cl
such a tax for road purposes ouly.
The gasoline tax is an instance of
this. Gasoline can not be taxed for
roads without also taxing it for
schools under the present constitu-
tion. Under the amendment it could
be taxed for roads alone.
“And finally the amendment pro-
vides that counties shall retain all
their present powers and revenues
with respect to roads. This will re-
lieve the counties froq^ constructing
and maintaining state highways and
leave them all ttteir present revenue
tpr purely county roads. The provis-
ion for compensating counties for
roads taken over is a matter for the
future and will require further action
of the legislature.
