MUST RAISE TAXES,
STATE COMPTROLLER NrCATJ,
SAYS THERE Is NO ESCAPE.
Deficit Can't Be Funded-Impossible to
Reduce Expenses, Suggests 30 Cents
and % Gents For 1895
and 1896.
Galveston Tribune.

Galveston Tribune.
a tribune reporter met State Comptroller
Mccall ON street car and engaged him in
conversation concerning the condition of the
states finances.
what Is the amount of the deficit Mt
present. asked the reporter
Mr. Mccall. P''~
DO you think the expenses of the state
government can be so reduced as TO nav cur-
rent expenses and the deficit at the present
rate of taXeS?" -
NO; | do not, The present administra-
tion nds not been eNtrayagant in its eX-
penultures, and | do not think it possible
t1at the state government can be conduct
eu upon a more economical basis. 1t is an
extremely difficult matter to reduce the eX-
Renses OF a large and growing state like
Texas, unless there has been extravaganza,
whereas in the natural order of things there
should be an increase"
You think then that it will be necessary
TO Increase the tax rate?'
II do. The state is now really a year be-
mind In its payments, and at the present
rate of taxation | do not think it possible
to catch up. The bulk of the revenues are
received at the treasury during four months
OF the year, while the disbursements are
about the same every month, consequently,
at the end of these four months there should
always be surplus in the treasury to pro
vide for the remainder of the year, when
but little revenue is received. Now, the
taxes for 1894 are coming in and are, of
course, being applied TO the payment of
warrants now outstanding. When all these
have been paid and the end of the four tax
paying months is reached there will be
scarcely anything left in the treasury to
provide for the remainder of the year;
therefore the bottom will be reached at an
earlier date in 1895 than it was this year,
and the deficit will be larger at this time
next year than it is now.
: "WOuld it be possible to fund this debt
and then take a fresh start?
"No: the constitution prohibits the issu-
ing of more than 100000, and that amount
would be wholly insufficient to relieve the
ITO what rate do you think it will be
necessary to raise the taxes and Tor what
length of time, in order to put the state
