  • The following appeared on 5 January 1967 in the Dallas Morning News in "Letters from Readers": Free spenders and many modern economists are making the attempt to redraft the Texas Consittution to permit a large public debt. The approach to the abandonment of this sound constitutional limitation appears to be (1) to obligate the state to larger and larger state contributions to federal projects, so as to be able to confront the people and their legislators with the "accomplished fact" that we are now unable to meet our financial obligations without borrowed money, and (2) to dissipate current tax income in the name of "higher education," "assistance for the needy," "libraries for ex-presidents" and various other types of aid to the underprivileged, to the end that borrowed money will be required to keep the state government in operation. The federal government has very clearly shown to us by its irresponsibility in financial matters that, in the itnerest of our stability, and perhaps our survival, we should keep this limitation on public debt in our Texas Constitution.
