The large sum In the department OF
education arises from an estimate of
So 800, 900 for the purpose of maintain
ing the public schools six months In
the year, as required by the constitus
ton. This sum will be largely made
Hp of the per cent of the permanent
public school fund which the con-
stitutiOnal amendment known as
the Jester amendment, provides
for. The estimate of 1892 and 1893
did not include this amount, and
the total appropriations for those two
years were 81 ,9S6, 1920. Exclusive of
So, 500, 900 public school appropriation
The estimates for 1894 and 1895 sggre-
gate SIS 279, 74l 40, or an excess over
the last two years of SZ93, 500 20.
Therefore, in view OF the increase, in
taxable values shown by the comp
troller's report, it is hardly probable
that any reduction in the rate of tax
alton can be made by this legislature.
The people will have to look to the
railroad commission to con tinue to
save them 5000 600, the amount
Governor Hogg says 1t saves, until
the taxable values of the state so in
crease that a reduction can be made
