Texas voters ordered legisla tive revision of the state consti- tion but rejected pay hikes for legislators and two top office holders. Although inconclusive in some cases, it appeared at a late hour that Texans approved 11 or 14 proposed changes in their 96- year-old constitution. And the most sweeping was controversial Amendment No. 4, calling for the Legislature to pro vide an entirely new govern mental blueprint. The present patchwork consti tution was adopted in 1876, a period of citizen unrest after a decade of carpetbag government. Voters turned thumbs down on salary increases for legislators, the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the Texas House. In something of a surprise, voters indicated they prefer four- year terms for their governor and many other statewide offi cials, who now serve for two years. Voters were less enthusiastic about a dual office holding amendment, No. 12, but it was winning narrow approval as the count continued. Returns from 201 counties, 45 complete: 1. Legislators’ pay hikes: For 502,730, Against 549,040. 2. Lamar hospital district: For 589,706, Against 333,727. 3.
