an opportunity to express their views on
four proposed amendments to the Texas
Constitution which will appear on the
General Election ballot.
In place number one on the ballot, and
probably first in order of importance to
Texans, is an amendment that proposes
the repeal of the poll tax payment as a
prerequisite to voting and substitutes in
its place a voter registration system.
We subscribe to the theory that no Texan
or any other United States citizen should
be charged for the priviledge of exercising
a basic right that was guaranteed him
many years ago by his forefathers.
Despite this, however, we definitely see
the need for incorporating • some basic
standard of registration requirement if
this amendment is passed. Like almost
everything, there is some bad in the good.
The pitfail of a voter registration system
without set standards is illiteracy. It is
here we need to set some limits.
his county, his state or his country.---- -
With these reservations, we believe that
repeal of the poll tax is a good thing. We
strongly, urge that much consideration be
given to an adequate literacy standard for
Texas’ voters with respect to the registra-
ion system.
Number two position on the ballot will
be held by a proposed constitutional
amendment to provide assistance payments .
to needy aged, needy individuals who are
permanently and totally disabled, needy
blind and needy children. It authorizes the
Legislature to set up residence require-
ments for eligibility and to make appropria-
tions out of state funds for the payment
with a share of the'cost coming from the
U. S. Gqvernment on a fund-matching 50-
50 basis. Payment limit would be set at
$60 million.
Amendment number three would au-

This is Gulf States' Willow Glen Station south of Baton Rouge
where installation of a big 230,000-kilowatt turbo-generator is
rapidly being carried forward. The powerful unit will “come on the
line” by the end of the year.----*—;------------------------------------------------------------r----
GSU, a business-managed company, forecast the coming need for
more electricity in this area many years ago when plans were started
for Willow Glen. And when this generating plant was dedicated in
June, 1960, it had an installed capacity of 162,000 kilowatts — but -mSOo

2,000,000 kilowatts. *
Without waiting until added electric power is actually needed in ,,
this area, Gulf States began work last year on this second unit.

to provide you with plenty of dependable, economical electric power.
