Austin, February The comp
troller in a recent estimate gave the
probable deficiency ON revenue tax
rate of twenty-five and one-half cents
on the 500 at slj0,00O. If this was
correct, the rate fixed by the legisla-
ture of seventeen and one-half cents
will yield an additional deficiency of
over S25O,OOO, or total approximating
a half million. AS the comp
troller is in possession of
every fact bearing on financial
matters Of the government, and uas
not given his opinion without advise
ment, predictions are freely made that

the total valuation reaches 300 900, 900,
there will he cause for congratulation,

Thus the revenue account must sup
port itself hereafter or have its balan-
ces run up on the uncomfortable side
of the ledger. The general belief is
that the legislature made a mistake in
its tax figures, or rather failed to make
any figures atall. Whether the def

CLEBURNE.
Public Opinion on the Herd Law and

Special TO the Gazette.

Special 10 the Gazette.
Cleburne, February when it
became known yesterday the legisla-
ture had passed the Enclosure act as
printed in yesterdays GAZETTE, ev-
cry copy was quickly taken, and the
news-dealers had numerous calls for
them to-day. The Telegram this af
ternoon, in order to give those who
JAILED to get GAZETTE a copy of the
law, issued an extra, reprinting it.
Comment here on the law is that ii is as
good as was expected. Ii is generally
conceded that the herd law feature will
work much hardship at first among
the small cattle owners in the thlnly
settled counties. The section immedi.
ately surrounding Cleburne will not
be affected in the least, as the lands
hereabouts do not come within the
category of unoccupied private, public,
school or asylum lands.
The law making it felony to cut
FENCES is generally Endorsed. Some
persons insist that the same penalties
should run against illegal inclosure
ana against fence-cutting, but the pre-
vailing idea is that there il no real
similarity between the two olienses
conviction for fence-cutting with n
term in tne penitentiary, it is gener-
ally thought, can be secured from an
average johnson county Jury.
