local taxation because cities under e1-
CO tions to the general law have ex-
ceeded the limit of that general law
under the present system of taxation
and desires us to infer that the same
cities under local option taxation with
the same voters would tax property
out of the hands of the present owners.
Local option taxation might make the
owners of these impedimenta to local
improvement, these vacant lots lying
idle to gather increment in increased
valuation by the work OF other mon
In improving all around the vacant
lots, pay more by applying a valua-
ton 10 the lots measured by
the adjoining improved lots,
which would be fair and just
and that is all that local option taxa
ton could do more than the people
are doing now under the general and
special laws and under the constitu-
tional provision that all "taxation
shall be equal and uniform"
The object of The News in asking
THE STATESMAN how it is that Its
own city and Galveston and Dallas
are over the tax limited by the gen
eral law is evidently to show that I'M
der the present system the taxing
mower mas been strained and under
local option it ..'ould run away with
all the vacant lots owned by moss
back spectators. The cities that
have exceeded the provisions OF the
general law in the amount OF taxes
have done so under exceptional pro-
visions Of the constitution and in
obedience to the decisions of the
courts to pay their honest debts incur
red before the general provision and
the constitution of 1876 was adopted
and woulu have been compelled to do
so under any system, local option or
otherwise.

UNCLE JOEY MILLER of THE
STATESMAN now takes his diurnal
two column editorial to the top of the
capitol dome, drops it and breaks it
into half dozen pieces before inserting
it. 1t is great scheme but trl1le
hard on the pavement.-San Antonio
Express.
If you were to drop one of your edi-
torials out of the window of The Ex-
press office it would never strike the
pavement-too light. 1t would float
away like the variegated balloon of the
Italian fakir and have about the same
effec,; catch the eye for a moment,
and for moment only, and then like
snowflake in the river be gone
forever. The pavement would never
complain of the weight of one of your
editorials.

THE SENATOR'S APPOINTED BY
GOVERNORS.

The question as to the right of the
governor of a state to appoint United
States senator, when the legislature
fails to elect and during the session OF
the Legislature, resolves itself into
decision based upon fundamental
principles that for wonder have not
occurred to grave and revered sena-
tors.
The governor and legislature OF
state are the creatures OF the people
and the constitution is the power OF
attorney under which both do certain
business. The constitution empowers
the governor, while the legislature is
not in session, to fill vacancy in the
United States senate. 1t also en-
powers the legislature to elect two
United States senators. The power of
the governor TO act is limited to the
time when the legislature is not
in session and according to
strict construction of the constitu-
ton the governor has no right to APP
point senator during the session Of
the legislature. The legislature be-
ing the agent of the people
of the state to elect senator
refuses to discharge that duty.
Under these circumstances the
power to elect United States
senator reverts to the people, and they
are alone capable and authorized to
elect. There may be no provision in
tho constitution or the laws Of the
state for the people to mold an cleo
ton, but that makes no difference, it
is an original and organic right and
they have the right without specific
provisions to hold an election for that
purpose and ensure themselves repre-
sentation, in order to maintain n re-
publican form of government. This
seems so plain it is surprising that it
has never occurred to senators dis
cusslng the admission of senators to
that body unlawfully appointed by
governors when the Legislatures of
the respective states were in session.
1t is an assumption of power by the
governors belonging to the legisla-
ture. If the legislature fails to COM
ply with the powers granted it by
the people, then the people alone can
lawfully exercise that power.

The st. Louis Republic says:


If Texas should make more cotton
this year than can be profitably mar
ksted In Europe or New England, the
Importance of having factories to work
up the surplus at home will be more
wildly apparent than ever. With
labor intelligent and cheap, good
water power and no long haul OF the
raw material Texas would find cotton
manufacturing an exceedingly profit
able industry. ..... .-4...
This is true, and Texas has the
money lying idle in her banks with
which to build and equip these cotton
factories with improved machinery.
With no freights to pay, factories
here would yield q much larger per
cent. profit than in the East.
