JUDGE w. d. WooD, SAN MARCOS, TExAs
My DEAR JUDGE:-Your most kind and
highly appreciated favor of late date came
to hand in due course. The much valued
token of regard from my Assembly friends
to which il referred, came also in due
process. am not master OF the words
that would convey to them and to your
worthy self my appreciation of this and
other marks of esteem from associates in
the Chautauqua work in Texas.
If have at any time made any sacrifice
in their interest and that of the Assembly,
their love ami continued loyalty are my
ample compensation.
The useful present, with the artistic and
kindly legend which it bears, will, assure
you. ever call to mind those pleasant re-
lations at our annual encampments in the
past. which hope to renew as the sum-
mers come and so.
Please present my thanks and reciprocal
tious of regard to my friends of your city,

Yours most sincerely,

A DECEPTIVE PLEA.

But it may be urged by some that
the opinion of the Attorney General
in unconstitutional, that further leg
islative action is necessary; that the
legislature will soon be in session,
when such action can be had, max
ing vote of the taxpayers necessary,
etc, without causing material delay.
To which we reply that it is very
doubtful if such an act could be got
through the legislature, especially
since tho opinion of the Attorney
General has been rendered. To
wait for that would be to lose time
on a great uncertainty. And again, if
such m act could be got through,
the only result would be to entail on
our community bitter contest,
where we now have plain sailing.
Why should the Council defer action
in the perfectly well authorized way
now legally opened to them, when
only needless delay and trouble must
follow their non.action now?
SETTLEMENT CALLED FoR-No MORE
DELAY
But it may, and no doubt will, be
urged, that if action is taken now in
pursuance of the Attorney Generals
opinion, the case will be taken to the
higher courts. We doubt this ex-
ceedingly. But suppose it should
be done? Why, SO be it! 1t is high
time the question was settled, if it is
not, and there can be no better time
nor place to do so than ROic and
here! 1t will not take very long nor
cost very much to getan authoritative
opinion on SO simple and righteous a
matter. SO this is an argument for,
rather than against, the immediate
action of the Council IN the direction
of tho proposed building. Through
such action the question will be set
tied, one way or the other, without
further delay or wranglIng.

TIE LEGAL QUESTION.

The decision of the Attorney-Gen-
eral has vastly simpli6ed the whole
matter. 1t lifts it from out all former
embarrassing complications and legal
bubbles with which it was surround
ed,and places the right Of the Council
to authorize the erection OF public
school buildings upon the same
broad grounds which is conceded
them to authorize the erection of
any other public building. Whatever
may be thought by individual law.
yers rs to the soundness of the At
torney- Generals opinion, the fact is
unquestionable, that rs tho legal ad-
wiser Of the State, his opinion must
prevail, the only remedy being an ap-
peal to the higher courts. In other
words, his opinion furnishes a COM
plete warrant for the Council to take
the contemplated action for the build
ing of the public school building
There being q most pressing need
for the building, would they not be
exceedingly unwise not to avail them
selves of this plain, simple and legal
ly authorized way to accomplish that
object?

THE SCHOOL HOUSE QUESTION.
Considerations For the City Council.

As heretofore noticed in our col
umns, at late meeting Of the Board
OF Public School Trustees, Major
Hutchinson and DIR. DeSteiger were
appointed to present petition to the
City Council at their next meeting, to
be held September 4th, asking taem
TO levy a tax of not over twenty-five
cents on tho 500, for the purpose OF
building n now public school build
ing adequate to the needs OF our scho-
lastlc population, in pursuance Of
the late opinion rendered by Attorney
General Hogg, that they have the
right so TO do without vote OF the
taxpayers on the question.
The vital Importance, rs We regard
it, Of an affirmative action in regard
to this question, impels US to urge
some considerations upon the atten-
ton OF the Council, which are respect
fully submitted.
NOW Is THE TIME FOR ACTION.
The urgent need of new school
building is conceded on all hands.
Sufficient has been said as to why we
have not had it ere now. Let all that
pass, and let all join tremendously in
The great work before us. The out
look for success is now auspicious-
everything is ripe for action. WhH
then, delay!
