rIOBBY ASKS LEGISLATURE
TO SAFEGUARD BALLOT
(ontinufd from rufi* On«.
>§ny thi« message with the opinion of the
(kttorDejr General for your Information.
As you, of course know, .nil male cltlxeni
»f Texas ar<* required by the Constitution
and 1mws of the State to pay a poll tax
is a prerequisite for Toting in the gen
»ral electlou. In the opinion of the Attorney
t}en era I all male persona who have not
:>aid poll taxes may likewise vote in the
general election in NovouiImt »»s a result
jf the adoption of the nineteenth amend-
wr> n t.
To throw the election In November wide
open to every person in Teias over -1
rears «»f age without limitation, without an
official record of the name of ea«h per-
son voting or the payment of the cus-
tomary tax. whether it be a poll tax or n
suffrage tax by another name, is to<»
dangerous to think of. Yet unless there Is
legislation by your honorable body, sucn
will be the case, provided the Attorney
'Jeneral'6 interpretation is accepted by
"lection officers, as it properly should be.
And the holding of a wide open election
in Texas, which yoti are called in extra-
ordinary session to avoid, is not only
fr:itight with danger. Hut i* beset with
other evils. It will cause dia^riminfltmh.
not between sexes, but among voters, some
utf them paying and some of them not pay-
itig. a discrimination which, In my Judg-
ment is not desired by the people of Texas.
And especially is this true when that dis-
crimination may be remedied by action 01
the Legislature which may at the same
time keep within the provisions of the
nineteenth amendment.
The people of Texas have imposed thO
poll tax in the organic law of the Btate.
*s- a prerequisite for voting. It is con-
clusive therefore that the people desire
the payment of a tax before persons may
exercise the franchise privilege unless it,
be voters who have become qullified to
vote between the expiration of the tim»
for paying the poll tax and the 11Hie toe
holding the election.
This policy will be undisturbed at the
general election in November, if the pay-
ment of a tax equivalent to the poll tax.
and keeping a record thereof is required
r»n the pert of persons who have not here*
tofore paid. . .
Women who have become qualified vot-
ers by the adoption of the nineteenth
amendment have not been subjected to the
payment of a tax. serving ns a pre-elec-
tion fee, bv the laws of the State Such
may be required* however, by legislative
act. according to the opinion of the At-
torney General, and will result in placing
all men and women alike on an equal
basis as voters.
If a legal way can be found, adhering
to the expressed opinion of the Attorney
General, to permit only new voters, that
is men and women who have become QUan-
fied voters since the time expired for
paving a 1020 poll tax to vote, 1 would
not consider it a discrimination repugnant
to the policy of the Ktatc to permit such
persons to vote. If in order to do that,
however, it is necessary to admit all others
who have not paid a poll tax to vote with-
out paying the equivalent of the poll tti*,
T would regard it ns a discrimination un.
Just to those who have paid poll taxes and
inimical to the welfare of Texas.
Not only is legislative action made nec-
essarv to avoid discrimination on the parr
or voters, but there may be serious re-
sult* in tbe event of « failure to take
action, some of which 1 will point out.
An attempt to hold a wide open election
will of Itself rrovofce confusion because
while all etoctinn officers should. In the
absence of a court decision or a StAt*-
wide law. be guided by the ruling of the
Attorney General, who \* the State's "legal
■dviaer. yet it is possible there will be
election otfleers who will refuse » < <>
A condition under which election ofi.ocr.

election officers in other polling f '«'***■
may refuse to allow them to v <t"c, v ;
result in disorder and inequality IVr ti,
reason the necessity of a plan to brin^
about equality uud uniformity If- obvious.
This cau only be accomplished by a Mate-
wide law by a court decision. It is to<»
late to obtain the l.»:ter. Action by tue
Legislature Hill brint. about the tormer.
i he election in November is the nc im-
portant of all elections. A President and
Vice i'rt sideut of the lulled States, n
Governor and all State officers, i\»ngress-
uiou. members of the Legislature and alt
district and county officers are to be voted
f» r Ah a safeguard the election of all
these officers should be by a vote of rec-
ord, not by a wide-open election.
To remove all question about the legality i
of voters who will participate in this elec-
tion, and euact a law prescribing same is
of supreme importance. Even the electoral
vote of the State might be put in jeopardy
if illegal voters are permitted to vote or
legal voters are not permitted to vote. Tie*
qualifications of b-gal voters should be do
fined by law uud settle ail doubt.
The public policy of Texas has been well
established tor more than jr» years, as op-
posed to an election not safeguarded by a
record open to public inspection, giving
the names and addresses of those who
vote. It is Important to preserte the in
tfgtity of this policy, ahd not open the
way for as many or more voters who are
Unrecorded to vote as voters who have pa.d
a poll tax and whose names are of record,
l'tidef such a system the opportunity is
offered for fraudulent voting. Whether
there is danger of repeaters, ballot box
stuffing and the casting of fraudulent
votes at such election sufficient to change
the result is not the prime consideration.
The possibility of tainted ballots in an
election in Tekfts is offensive to her elti
zenship.
In viev of the area and population ot
Texus. the undertaking of electing a State
officer by fraud would perhaps be too
great to make it possible. Hut if I gislu-
lion oti your part shall prevent the election
of a single county or district officer in
Texas by fraudulent votes, it would more
than compensate for the time and expense
and sacrifice made necessary by tailing
you in extraordinary session There were
about 700,000 persons In Texas who quali-
fied themselves to vote in the November
election by paying poll taxes or obtaining
exemption certificates. It is safe to esti-
mate that at least 'J.oOO.OOO men and women
are of voting age in Texas. All of these
may be permitted to vote regardless ot
whether they have or have not paid a poll
tax unlets a law bringing about uniform-
ity is enacted. Kven though this situation
is due to circumstances beyond the control
of Texas, It would be discrimination just
the same to hold an election at which 750,-
000 persons have been required to pay a
poll tax of $1.75 in order to exercise the
suffrage franchise, while it is possible for
1,700,000 or more to vote without the pay-
ment of an equal amount.
In my judgment. If those who are al-
lowed to vote without paying poll taxes
can t be limited to those who have otherwise
become qualified voters since February I,
1020. then the greatest protection that can
be given the ballot box and the nearest
approach to exact justice that may be
reached, and the step that will come
nearer doing away with discrim-
ination than any other which may
be proposed. 1* to enact a law (nullifying
all of those who have paid a poll tax prior
to February 1. l'.rjO, and giving all of those
who have nnt paid a poll tax 15 days in
which to record their names and addresses
at the county tax collector's office, and
pay an amount equal to the poll tax which
those voters who previously qualified have
paid, and thus qualify for voting nt the
November election. While it would be de-
irable to cive tho>,. voters who hare "Of TURK INSURGENTS KEEP
paid poll taxes a longer period of tlmM"
which to qualify, the date of holding the
(lection prevents It. However, the oppor-
tunity will then be offered each and every
iti/.en of Texas who Is otherwise quali-
fied to exercis» the suffrage franchise, to
vote on an equal basis.
It is fitting and appropriate and .u
keeping with sound public policy to ap-
ply any revenue derived from such legis
iation if enacted to f,i • cause of public edu-
cation and I therefore recommend that such
provision he made by your honorable body
as will result in this fund becoming a part
ot the available school fund of the state.
To safeguard I he general election to be
held in November and to prevent di-crimr
nation among Vctefs as n arly as thai msy
be done Is the object I hop!* tor and feel
confident will ,o romplisued Mirough tue

a result of your deliberations.
