the Dallas County Agricultural and Me-
chanical Association, on Saturday next, the

Society have, or had, very desirable
property in the suburbs of town, in which
every stakeholder is interested, and some
understanding should be had in regard
thereto. And while we are on the subject,
we may be permitted to add, that We hope
the society will DO revived and not be al
lowed to cease its existence. We might
enumcrate q hundred reasons for its rcsus-
citation, any one of which would be suffi-
cicnt, in our mind; but do not deem it nee

| The increase In taxable values Of
property from the building Of rail.
roads IN this State, has been immense
We have no statistics on hand from
which 10 compile tables, but such sta
tistics may be easily made up at Aus.
tin from the Comptrollor's books, II
the increase in taxable values he COM
pared for the following periods, some
good idea may DO obtained, viz
From 1916 to 1851, from 1881 TO 1856,
from 1896 to 1861. In the first five
wears there were no railroads and
none talked about, The annexation
of the State gave an impetus to inn
migration, etc, Mt first which, how
ever, has continued ever since. In
the second five years railroads began
to bo built, but their influence was
altogether speculative and not to be
looked for on the tax rolls, In the
third five years their influence began
TO be felt. and they afford legiti.
mate comparison.
Webelieve that the increase in tax
able values directly tra:oahle to rail-
roads, cannot be less than from Two
to three times the cost Of building
them, and that tho increase in taxes
to tho State treasury should alone
constitute q sufficient argument TO
put down all unfricndly legislation
to these institutions.
If the Houston and Texas Cen
trail road could be built at once to
Rcd River, it would carry with it an
amount of prosperity to tho centre
of the State which would be felt TO
the extremities. Let it be supposed
that the road will cost three and a
half million of dollars. Can any one
complete the wealth it would create,
or would any one think of combining
it in an estimate to double or three
times that amount?
In the raising of wheat alone, by
giving an outlet to the wheat lands
of the State, it would add to our an
nual production for export in short,
period as much as the cost Of the
road. And yet we sometimes heSy
politicians and droneS inveighing
against corporate monopolies And
the legishlation Of the last year or
two before the war was such as to
drive away large amounts of capital
that were seeking investments in
railroads.
We sincerely hope we shall hear
no mere of this morbid jealousy of
the power of railroads. Enact
wholesome laws regarding them,
and guard them as well as you
please, but let them have tho most
favorable legislation possible.
We hope to see measures taken
ere long to push the leading roads
on. The owners Of the Central must
get to work and be ready to meet
the Kansas road at Red River. The
Western road must choose its route
and either make for Austin or for
San Antonio. The projected road
to Huntsville and Henderson ought
to be moving on. The Texas and
New Orleans road must be built.
With the population and capital
rushing in upon US as it bids fair to
if the legislature is not hostile, it
will be very strange if Texas does
not complete more than q hundred
miles of road year for the next
ten years.-Houston Telegraph.
