To the Citizens OF Texas
an Just in receipt of the following let
ter, which is self explanatory:
HUNTSVILLE, Texas, April 81, 1883.
Gen. L. Walker, Commander Hood Camp:
Sir-On the 2oth inst. concert was given by the
ladies of Huntsville Texas, for the benefit OF the
Confederate Home at Austin, at which $1O.95 WIS
taken in.
AT er the concert a resolution was introduced
and adopted unanimously, that Huntsville would
provide the funds maintain at least one Conted-
crate at the home for one year, the cost of mante-
nance estimated at $50 per annum. To raise this
amount, the proposition was made that twenty five
persons would pledge themselves to each pay 50
for this purpose, or in case thirty persons would
pledge Themselves, then the amount for each
should be s. per annum, payable in quarterly In:
stallments of l.25 per quarter. committee OF
three was appointed to take the names OF those
who were willing to thus contribute, and in less
than ten minutes the necessary number was OBJ
tanned.
Thus it will be seen how easily the home cen be
maintained if every town viii do ss we'll,
TIE plan above mentioned seems to be
one eminently calculated to solve the
problem that now stares us in the face
the proper maintenance of our Confed-
crate home, and the care of our old and
intrm soldiers. If this home is to be
kept up by private contribu' ions, 1t would
seem that the burden of such mainten-
ance should be generally istributed over
tie state, and that each section aud city
should do its part, as the home is state,
and not local institution. To this end,
I would suggest that the plan of each
city, paying for the care of one or more
Confederate veterans seems to meet the
exigencies of the occasion, and 1
would earnestly call the attention of all
in the state who are touched
by the pitiable condition of these wrecked
lives strewn along in the wake of the civil
war, either in this or some similar way to
testify to their sympathy by furnishing
material aid in caring for these unfortu-
mates, R. l.. WALKER,
Commander of Hood camp.

poses Of the national currency, without
being money, which no state according to
paragraph /, section 10, article l of the
constitution can do: COIN money, emit
bills of credit, make anything but gold
and silver tender in payment OF debts,
are tie words of the constitution.
Now, to receive these bonds from cities
and counties and pay thsm out according
to their face value to its employees and
creditors desiring interest paying BONDS
instead of silver or gold, would not be III

We have issued bonds and paid almost

bonds is all right, to sell bonds Is all
right, and to sell or transfer or pay out
these bonds to all who are willing to buy
or purchase them, either for money or IN
payment of salaries, is no violation OF the
constitution, but would be like q root

The two millions are put in circulation
by the cities and towns, while their inter

currency are put in circulation all over
our state, instead of going to Wall street;
and these four millions of dollars added
to our circulating medium would be
absorbed in trade, agriculture and internal
improvements. Business would revive

HOW MUCH TO REDUCE THE TAXES.

Senator Jarvis, as chairman of the com.
mittee on finance, is doing valuable ser
vice for the state. He is careful and an
able man, aud his decisions may very
generally be relied upon as accurate and
statesmanlike. He has been investigating
the matter of tax reduction, and figures
out the case as follows:
The total expenses for running the gov.
eminent for the year will approximate
$1,600,000.
The taxable values are $3.50 412, 402.
The ad valorem taxes on this amount at
1917 per cent would be $8l3,015.
The revenue poll taxes are $173,961.
Occupation taxes, $731,27S.
Office fees in the several departments,
100000.
Collections from installments and re-
demptions, $4,000.
Receipts from railroad payments SILL
$50.
This would make total of $1,S69,G34
From it the following wear and tear can
be deducted:
From insolvent sales, $120,904.
For assessing and collecting, 1854, 446.
One-fourth of the occupation taxes due
the schools, $182,819.
The whole sum, $468, 169, taken from the
$1,S69,634, would leave $1,407, 465.
At fifteen cents on the 800 the net reve-
nues would be $1,544,753, but at twenty
cents on the 800 the net revenue would
be 1881, 1928, leaving margin over the
expenses of running the government.
These figures, of course, do not take
into consideration any surplus that is
now in the treasury, or that may
be there after needed aud large
appropriations have been madN
by this extra session of the legislature.
But such sums as may be left at the ad-
journment of the session it would be well
to keep in the treasury as a sheet anchor
of safety something to hold on by in
case unforeseen accidents or emergencies
arise within the year, or before the next
regular session convenes. 1t seems that
the estimate of Senator jarvis is carefully
and wisely made, and there is growing
sense in the Legislature that if the tax rate
is reduced it will not be cut down lower
than twenty cents ON the 800. But the
better plan still, and the one that should be
adopted, is the recommendation of the
governor that there be no reduction, but
that each taxpayer be credited with a
certain portion of his taxes for this year,
and that portion, according to the figures
of Senator Jarvis, would seem to be one
fifth.
