we are of the opinion the Vir-
ginia case declares all poll tax
laws to be unconstitutional, in-
cluding Texas, and further ap-
peal is futile insofar as main-
taining a poll tax law in Texas
is concerned, yet, in order to
abide by the new Act of the Leg-
islature setting up registration
of voters in 1967 and thereafter,
It is necessary that a ruling of
the United States Supreme Court
be secured on the Texas case it-
self.
“If we could be sure that Tex-
as voters would vote in Novem-
ber to abolish the poll tax, this
action would not be necessary,”
Carr said. “However, If our ci-
tizens voted to retain the poll
tax, and the United States Su-
preme Court had not ruled spe-
cifically on the Texas case, then
the four sections of this bill
providing for annual registra-
tion of Texas voters could not be
placed in effect.”

Attorney General Waggoner
Carr said today that in order
to make the new Texas Voter
Registration law effective for
1967 elections, it is mandatory
that the State of Texas appeal
the decision of a three-judge
Federal court which struck
down the poll tax as a prere-
quisite to voting in Texas.
Carr said that in writing Sec-
tion 6 of the Act during the re-
cent special session, the Tex-
as Legislature stated that the
provisions of Sections 1-4, pro-
viding for future voter regis-
tration, would not become ef-
fective unless (l) the constitu-
tional amendment, eliminating
the poll tax as a prerequisite
for voting, and which the vot-
ers will vote on in November,
becomes a part of theConstitu-
flop, (2) the United States Su-
preme Court affirms, or refus-
es to review, the three-judge
Federal court’s decision or any
other action taken by the United
States Supreme Court which
would have the effect of ruling
the requirement of paying a poll
tax In Texas as a prerequisite
for voting was unconstitutional.
