dressed the vast assembly for about one
hour aud a bali A large portion Of the
audience we're ladies, and all listened 10
the able speaker with inisrss, aud AIisH,
ton until the sloss Of the speech,
We cannot follow the Goysrhsr very
closely In his remarks, and viii only give,
In our own language, some Of the leading
points he made, First, he PoIRlei out aud
discussed the great demand and necessity
for railroads In Texas, and especially In
this portion OF tho State, aud inquired into
the general queAiion-will Investments
in railroad. be ProhIAble' proving tho ar
hrmaiivs by pointing 10 the rapid strides
in prosperity and population In those
States which have inauguraied aud carried
on extensive systems Of railroads. lie |
then spoke Of the local roads directly OF
interest to the ptopie''of Dallas, embracing
the Texns Central with Its Kansas eouhee-
lions, the Southern Pacific, and the Mem
phis, FL rAso and Pacific with It's eonnse- |
tiOns. All these roads, lie said, We arc d. |
rccIly interested in, and proceeded TO give
brief history OF each road, its past pro. !
gress and present position and prospects,
dwelling more particularly and lengthily
upon the Memphis and FL Paso road, Of
which the Governor is the authorized rep
resentative in this State. [0f this road
and its advantages we shallb something
to say horeaner.l Next 10 detailed tho
means within the power Of the people OF
Texas TO obtain railroads, and in this con-
neclion showed how easily Dallas county |
could subscribe her bonds to tho Memphis, |
FL Paso and Pacific Road, and pay them
without scarcely feeling it. lie said he
had been furnished by the Assessor and
Collector with the total of property in
Dallas county, which is, in rendered lands, |
1873, 729 acres, unrendered lands, 1921 |
acres, which, at SO 40 per acre (the aver
age rates of our lands,) amounts to s., lii,-
1863; value Of lands owned in other coun-
ties, $S0,Gl5; add to this town lots and
other miscellaneous property, and We have
n total of property rendered and unrcn-
dcrcd, of S3,3Id,030. Now, snd the Cover
nor, tax Of onc-quarter Of one per cont,
or % cents on the 500, would amount to
So, ll2,082. Calculating an annual in
crease Of 10 per cent. per annum on the
value of the above would make the quarter
of one per cent. tax amount, in three yenrs,
to Sill, 240,0l2. This amount will dis
charge the interest on bonds to the amount
of Sl87, 1913, 033 at G per cent. With rail
roads the above would he doubled, so that
the county could take twice the amount OF
bonds without perceptible burthcn on the
people by laxation-say S374,6GC CO. We
give these figures 80 that our people can
see how easy it is for them to aid railroads
without burdening themselves. The Gov
ernor was very full and we think satisfac-
tory in this part Of his speech, and we
wish every man in the county could have
heard him.
The Governor concluded by an able and
eloquent exposition Of the wonderful re.
suits that can be effected by organization,
harmony and energy, and urged the people
to tho exercise Of these public virtues, in
an appeal, the ability, zeal and eloqucnce
Of which we would only mock wcrc VIC 10
attempt its transfer TO paper. ...,.
