AMENDMENT NUMBED THREE:
Pros And Cons Of Constitutional Amendments
This is the third part of a
four part series giving the
“pros” and “cons” of the four
proposed constitutional amend-
ments that will be voted on by
Texas voters Tuesday, May 18.
Absentee voting on the pro-
posed amendments began Wed-
nesday, April 28 and will close
May 14, according to Irene
Stanford, County and District
Clerk. Ballots are now avail-
able in the Clerk’s office.
The proposed amendment
makes two changes in Article
III, Section 51-a, of the Texas
Constitution.
(1) It removes the old age
assistance, aid to the blind,
and aid to the permanently and
totally disabled programs from
the constitutionally-imposed
expenditure ceiling, leaving on-
ly the category of aid to fami-
lies with dependent children
controlled under a new celling
of $55 million for assistance
grants from state funds during
one fiscal year.
(2) It deletes the provision,
inserted by constitutional
amendment adopted on August
5, 1969, which make supplemen-
tal appropriation of $15 million

Bryan.
for each fiscal year beginning
Sept. 1, 1969 and ending Aug.
31, 1971.
ARGUMENTS FOR:
The Texas Department of
Public Welfare reports that un-
der the present constitutional
ceiling, funds allocated for pub-
lic welfare assistance grants
will be exhausted shortly after
the date this amendment is
submitted to Texas voters on
May 18, 1971. Therefore, it
is imperative that the proposed
Amendment No. 3 be approved
tc prevent a drastic cut in aid
to welfare recipients, thereby
working an extreme hardship
on persons who have little or
no other means of subsistence.
Adoption of the proposed a-
mendment would remove inflex-
ible limitations on welfare ex-
penditures for the needy aged,
needy blind, and needy disabled,
which have caused welfare cri-
ses in Texas time and time a-
galn. Texans, generally, have
no quarrel with the rights of
these three classes of reci-
pients to public assistance.
The danger erf “run-away”
appropriations in the area of
aid to needy dependent children
and their caretakers (AFDC)
is removed by the proposed
amendment’s provision for a
$55 million celling onstate funds
granted to this class of reci-
pients.
Members of the legislature,
who on many occasions have
shown apprehension about mak-
ing changes in ceilings on pub-
lic welfare expenditures, ap-
proved the proposed Amend-
ment No. 3 by large majorities.
The vote was 27 yeas, 4 nays
in the Senate and 122 yeas and
17 nays in the House, this
showing overwhelming confi-
dence in the amendment’s pro-
visions.
ARGUMENTS AGAINST:
It is only too apparent that
welfare costs are constantly
spiraling upward, and unless
a halt is called somewhere the
only result can be ever-increa-
sing tax burdens on the citizens
of Texas. In the current period
of inflation and tight money, it
might be wiser to seek cost-
saving reforms in public as-
sistance programs instead of
authorizing larger expendi-
tures.
The entire program of public
welfare, since the rules and
regulations are established in
Washington, should be the func-
tion of the federal government
and should be financed entirely
by taxes already being collected
at the federal level. Defeat of
the proposed Amendment No. 3
could do much to lay the bur-
den of public welfare right
where it belongs - in the fe-
deral budget.
While there are many gen-
uinely needy persons on state
welfare rolls, there are also
many “freeloaders,” and no
more latitude should be per-
mitted under the Texas Con-
stitution until welfare reforms
are instituted that will remove
the undeserving as welfare re-
cipients.
