REDUCING TAXES.
How to Do 1t and where TO Begin.
Chattanooga Times

Chattanooga Ilmts-
There is a legitimate mode of reduc-
ing the burdens of taxation. This
mode the Times has, IN season and out
of season, pointed out to its readers.
As matters now stand, the taxpayers
are bled at every turn to enrich lot OF
useless officials, and to pay the expenses
of private litigation. If by some poll
tico-hydraulic pressure our offices, par
ticularly county offices, could be con-
densed to about half their present
number and capacity for absorbing
public funds, the load of taxation
would be perceptibly hghtened, and
the forty cent tax, now necessary to
carry on the State government, so
much the less felt as "a burden.
Suppose, for instance, that having
established proper system of checks
and balances, the offices of Trustee
and Tax Collector were consolidated,
and call the official County Treas
urer?" Even under the present plan,
will some one be kind enough to IN
form us what earthly use there is IN
paying one man a round salary to col
lect the taxes, ana another a round sal
airy to deposit the money in bank and
check it out? Then wipe out the office
of County Clerk, and make the Judge
of the County Court do his own clerk
ing, at cost of less than half the two
offices, as at present conducted. And
SO we might 60 through the list OF
county officials, great and small, to find
that one-half of them are only sinecures
that ought to be abolished.
If we go into the domain of State
Administration, we find very few sine
cures; but we shall discover that our
jury system badly needs remodehng.
The expenses fog criminal prosecutions
are enormous. They should be re-
duced at least one-half. In fact, our
entire judicial system might, We think,
be so remodeled as to reduce its ex-
penses very largely, and at the same
time discourage, or effectually prevent,
nearly all the senseless, useless htiga-
ton that now crowds our dockets, and
some of the lnain burdens of which the
taxpayers at large have to bear; while
it benefits nobody, except some cheap
lawyers, who get out of their impov-
erished clients an occasional fee.
But, after all, the places to begin
tax-reform are the counties and munic-
qualities. And these are a grievous
burden, principally because 50 large a
slice of the money paid in taxes goes
into the pockets of officials who render
no adequate service for what they get.

The war on railroads by the farm
ers of the West has brought poverty to
the home of many mechanics in the
Middle States. 1t is estimated that
Us, 900 men usually employed in roll
ing mills and iron manufactures are
out of employment, there being no de-
mand for iron by the railroads, which
have heretofore consumed One-half of
that made in this country. As most Of
the men out of work have families to
take care of, nearly a million persons
are thus indirectly deprived of their
means of support.

CUBAN planters who have been
driven from the island by the existing
troubles are emigrating to Southern
Texas, where the country between the
Sabine river and the Rio Grande has
been found to be well suited for the
culture of the sugar-cane. 1t is proba-
bic that in time Texas may become a
largeproducer of sugar, as there is an
extensive tract of country adapted to
the growth of the cane. The present
annual production is from 1900 to

HIGH LIFE TROUBLES IN WASH.

There is a very ugly story going the
rounds of the press to the effect that
at the wedding of Miss Stewart the re-
freshments gave out. The facts are
these: Toward the close of the even
ing there was such rioting-for it can
be called by no other name-in the
supper room, such drinking, such break
age of fine glass-goblets and dishes
being pitched under the table by the
guests to get rid of the labor of hold
ing them, that Mrs. Stewart ordered
the supper room to be closed. Just
such scenes transpired at the last ball
given by Mr.. Corcoran in honor of the
debut Of his daughter, and they have
been repeated in this city in a greater
or less degree at every large entertain
ment given since.
