SIMPLE JUSTICE.

The Board of Education created by the
Constitution, composed of the Governor,
Comptroller and Secretary of State, acting
under authority of article Z, section 4. of
the Constitution, have completed the sale
of United States bonds belonging to the
permanent school fund, with the following
result viz: $474, $50 United States bonds
sold for 1856, 174.53, which, after deduct
ing expenses of sale, gives net premium
of say $S1, 200. In addition to this, the
cash in the treasury, say 1875, GAO, belong
ing to the school fund, which, invested in
United States bonds, as required by
the old Constitution, would have
brought to the school fund at cur
rent pnces an nterest-bearing cap
ital of say 1928, ss7 has been invested
IN State bonds at par, giving the school
fund coy ss75, $40, gain on both transac-
tions of say s1SS, OS3 interest-bearing cap.
ital. The increase of the capital alone thus
obtained will amount annually to say
s79s1, sum sufficient to defrsy the expen-
'ses of say twelve hundred children in the
public schools for four months In each year.
These figures will sufficiently attest the
wisdom of the policy of investing our school
fund in State securities.
Our present Comptroller, s H. DArden,
In his first report to the Governor, called
attention tn the great loss sustained by the
school fund by investing In United States
bonds He says, Ia speaking of the school
fund s-Ia this connection would also
caIl your attention to section 8 of the same
article Of the Constitution, which provides
that the, school fund shall be invested in
United States bonds, and no other security,
for which the State is now paying about

SINCE Tom Scott can by no possibility
secure the seventy or eighty millions of
money he asks at the hands Of Congress,
and for the reason that another Texas and
Pacific road will be built by Huntington
that will cost the United States nothing,
we would like to know whether Scott Sc
cures the Texas land grant west Of the
point at which his road viii terminate3 The
law is plain enough, bat will the "Legisla-
ture, in its excessive generosity, give lard
without railroad first, built across it1
And if Scott cannot have this land, should
it not be conceded to the public schools or

EvERYwHERR in the South, adventures
of the period gained supremacy, and enor-
nous municipal debts have been created.
Ignorant and depraved rascals became
members of county courts. and of boards of
aldermen and members of these Jodies,
having themselves made financial agents,
organized credits mOJiliers and sold bonds
for all sorts of impossible and visionary
schemes. The Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, for the first time in its history,
stands by the people and holds the buyers
of such bonds to the practice of common
prudence and common honesty. The same
officeholders. are not suffered by the court
to be both vendors and purchasers of mu-
nicipal securities, and counties and
towns in Missouri have been relieved
of more than three millions of bonded
debt. Wall street thieves and plunder-
ers of corporations and States do growl
and the Herald, that stands at all
times By the bondholders, and is against the
people, is surely aggreved. The principle
involved in this decision may be applied to
facts in which we are directly Interested
even here in Austin and there are States
whose bonds were sold for forty cents under
a staiute declaring the bonds void If cold
for less than par. In all such cases the
people may possibly escape robbery at the
hands of those who conspired with vulgar
and corrupt placeholders, invested with
Office by. ignorant, deprsved suffrage, to
plunder and destroy. .rs..s -.

the school fund in State bonds, was pro-
posed by the Fourteeath Legislature at its
second session, and was adopted at the
general election by which constitutional
convention was called. When the coaven-
tion assembled, the Comptroller brought
the matter before them, and by clear ex-
position Of the great saving to the school
fund they determined to insert clause in
the new Constitution authorizing its invest
ment in State bonds.u This loss had been
going on since 1870, aggregating a large
amount, and the change of policy is due
to the efforts of Comptroller Dardsn with
the gratifying results that the advantages
of the Public schools can be given annual
ly to 1900 children more than by the old
plan. As reward for such service the
Comptroller's salary has been reduced $500.

MIR. KOPPRRL,S REPORT AND GOV
ERN0k COKk,S DODGE.

The following facts and figures, taken
from the records, show how imperative the
necessity for Legislation such as has been
recommended by Mr., Kopperl, chairman of
the Committee on Finance in the House.
Without it, more bonds must be sold and
hea Vier taxation than ever known before
must befall Texas. Governor Coke's grand
idea was, when he entered upon his office,
"pay as you go,"r but he goes before we
must pay. He has learned evidently one
maxim accepted by party leaders. that she
who fights and runs away may live to fight
another day." We abhor taxation, and
deem the condition of counties, towns and
States, under modern rulers, even pitiabIe
but there are worse evils than taxation, and
one is the loss of credit and of fame, and
of reputation as an honest, trustworthy
people of an honored commonwealth. We
would, therefore, be honest and "pay as
we go;' and in order to do this we would
have Mr.. Kopperl's Recommendations
adopted and the additional fifteen cents
tax levied. But the figures speak for them
selves: I.- 7t4- tii-i4 '"'" '.n
