about Internal Revenue Collectors, in the
first District which will apply as well to all
tho other districts:
have had the pleasure Of an introduce
ton TO Gen. Milton Stapp, the Collector
of Internal Revenue for this. the first dis
trict Of Texas, composed of the 20 counties

The General expects to make visit soon
10 every county in the district, in order to
organize it for the collection of the Reve-
nue. due from it. He has not decided
whether he will have a deputy in each
county or one for district of several
counties. II the former, in many counties,
lie apprehends that the commission will be
70 small that it will have TO be associated
with some county Office TO make it pay. He
will expect his deputies to have the Jeffer-
sonian qualification, "konest and capable"
and also give to him (the collcctor) good
security. We understand that, although
the law gives authority to make three years
collection, the department has authorized
hut ono years collection to be made. The
assessor and his deputies first makes the
assess nent; the collector then gives notice
in each county; the people responds to his
CALI by meeting him, or his deputy, within
ten days and paying their taxes, and in
default thereof 10 per cent. and costs are
ndded. We hope that all will be ready to
pay, and be released from the ten per cent.
costs.
