REDUCTION OF TAXATION

Those who resd the presidents
mesEage yesterday will notice that
he deureeztes the steady accumula-
ton Of surplus revenues. More
than this. he suggests measures to
oby1ate such accumulations, rightly
deeming & useless "cash balance" an
evil rather than E blessing. There
can be little doubt but congress will
need the presidents suggestions, and
that during the present session there
will be legislation providing for E
diminution Of revenue taxation
Democrats end republicans may not
be fully agreed as to the details Of
=uch legislation, but democrats snd
republicans alike will concede tha,
It i in order, and once there
Is harmony on this point
it will not be dithcgit to unite on the
details. May We not hope that here
in Texas the presidents sagacious
saggeztionz will be repeatedt Our
state government i= accumulating-
has already accumulated-a sum Of
money wrung from over-tsyed peo-
pie, that Is altogether useless and
idle We have million Of dollars
rusting in the treasury at Austin
that Is inapplicable to any constitu-
tiOnGI requirement. Ii cannot be
returned to the people who paid it,
nor can It be applied TO the reduc-
ton of the states bonded indebted
meas save at extravagant rates. The
experiment ought TO satisfy those
who are in power. The democratic
party ought 70 present some
better policy than plling up hundreds
Of thousands Of useless money, and
that, too, without reducing taxation.
It j. true the advalorem TAX has been
but Onerou= occupation
taEes still exist. There Is q remedy,
and if Governor Roberts has true
moral courage he will ask the lcgis-
l4'ure to apply The remedy. IT
i to submit constitutional amend
ment= to popular vote providing for
a repeal Of that article in .he organic
law making the rate Of county and
local taxation contingent on the rate
aud maintained By the |
tate. 4 ght here is where the
Hfiiculty hinges ana the remedy !
= plain There was q time when |
he unthinking ms5ses wOrshipped /
be "ca=h balance " 1t wa- the bOast |
and pride Of the administration.
That time has passed now, and
hose who are i'll authority had as
Tell look facts squsreIy iu the face
The people want laws that will en-
.ble the state 70 reduce taxation,
md leave the counties to levy such
axes q may be demanded by their
domestic necessities.

Editorial Note..

The production Of cotton in thC
south il practically without limit. Il
was 1880 before the American croI
reached 1000, 900 bales, and thc
highest point ever reached In the
days Of slavery was s trife over
i,jo0,O0O bales. The crop OF I88O-3l
l. about $500 900 in excess of this
and there are those who believe that
a crop Of 5,0eO,O0O Is among the GER
taintics Of the next few years.
In his message the president rather
warns up toward the Monroe doc
trinc. But suppose Great Britain, or
some power that has q navy, chooses
to come in and take q hand in the
