state, substantially says his central idea has
been sstablished-a perpetual good system
of finance. This means the annual collect
ing of the revenue through equalizsd taxation
on property and persons and its honest, eco
nomical collection and disbursomsat. The
Texas constitution requires all property TO
bs taxed ad vslorem, butincemo and occsps-
tloR taxes are permitted, except on
tho agricultural and mechanical pursuits
An occupation tax is means Of reaching

property, net tho persons. The drummers'

ducsd, let it DO in nd val0rem taxes, which
bear hardest on tho permanent property.
