enough for the custodians Of the school

tax rate in Tnrrant county for the benefit
Of tins fund will yield s2O,O0O annually,
while the interest is but $4,000, giving a
wide margin for the sinking fund This
levy was made IN February, and The taX
collector IS now on his rounds. No au-
thority can be found in the statutes for
collecting taxes more than once n year,
and thus it Is difficult TO see how the
money was TO be raised from this source,
after the arrangements Of the commits
sioners' court were unexpectedly frus-
trated
Tho statement that every county was
ready with its interest when due betrays
a monumental ignorance of the affairs Of
state. Inquiry at the comptroller's office
viii disclose the fact that not one single
county was ready with the interest when
due, and that months elapsed in Il large
number of cases before payment was
made.
Fort Worth banks, with more conf
dcnce in their county than has ever yet
4 been shown by these Institutions at Dal-
las, promptly rendered the money to the
commissioners court when the interest
fell due, but, from some cause not apprc-

beam in its own eye, Dallas shuts
its eyes to the fact that the

When Dallas essays again to hurt For
Worth, common dccency should promp
it to tell the truth, and common justice
impel it to some other course than an ef
fort to impair the credit OF county

from such efforts is not limited to the

In this matter, the conduct OF the

that organization. We DO not believe a

some OF the leaders. That this view is
correct, Is well sustained by the action OF

Mr. Golden with usurpation OF authority
