HEAVY EXPENSES-OFFICIAL
FEES.
1t will be observed therefore that the
4leavy draft upon the general revenue is
from other resources than the penal and
charitable institutions. The heaviest eX.
,pense TO the state arises from criminal
prosecutions, consisting of the fees OF
.sheriffs, clerks, witnesses, and pr0secut,
sng officers. The governor has no control
whatever over these matters. They are
prescribed and regulated by law. Inc
avs in relation to them are either lax or
too liberal. At any rate, the public treas
IIry is the subject of too much abuse from
these sources. To demonstrate this state
ment, your attention is called TO the fol-
lowing table, showing the appropriations
for witness fees, and for the fees OF she.
riffs, clerks, and attorneys in criminal
cases for and during the period of the past
TO years;

BY this table it appears that for the
Two years ending with 1882 there were
1878 indictments for fclOnies filed; while
Tor the two years ending with lS02 there
were 1861 indictments presented, show
ing an increase in that period of 10
years Of only 1883 cases. For the two
years ending with 1882 there were 1859
felony trials while the trials for the
two years ending with 1892 amounted
80 $685. or u difference of only 40 fell
-ony trials for those two years over cor
responding period of 10 years before.
1t will be noted therefore, that while
the per cent of trials of felonics has
increased at the rate of about / per
cent per annum, the expenses of the
government for these prosecutions have
increased at the rate of nearly 10 per
cent per annum. The disparity shown
by this per cent of expense over the per
cent Of increase lin criminal prosecu-
tons presents. without question, Il glar-
ing wrong. The question is, what shall
be done about it? The only sensible
answer is to apply the pruning knife
Of reform. An initial step on this line
should be the legislative measure that
will in some way destroy and forever
prohibit official trusts Tor pools. The
custom of county officials having annual
conventions is Il growing menace 10 the
public treasury. SherifIs, district and
county clerks. county and district at
lorncys, county judges, county asses
SOrs and collectors, and even ConStahes
and surveyors, have of late years begun
compact organizations that are no more
nor less than official combinations or
trusts that have in aim and view the
increase of official fees. These associ-
atoms are growing so strong that their
demands are almost irresistible 10y the

The appropriation for witness fees for the
Two years ending with 1885 amounted to
only $40 240, and the fees for
che same period of sherilfS
clerks, and prosecuting attorneys ag-
gregated $575, 000 while 10 years later,
for the two years ending Feb. %, 1898,
the appropriations for witness fees aggre-
rated $250,000 and the fees of shcriffs,
clerks and attorneys SSJ0,000. Ten
years ago it cost the state for the per-
iOd of two years TO prosecute the GRIM

whereas for the past two years the APP
preparations for said purposes aggre-
GATED S1,1l0,0OO. This means an in
crease during that time of nearly 100 per
cent.
There is something wrong in this, and
it is with the Legislature alone to rem
edy it, The governor and other state
officials are practically helpless, for they
can do no more nor less than obey the
law, for that is their solemn obligation
under the constitution.
To demonstrate more clearly that there
is much abuse in the fee system grow
ing out of criminal prosecutions your
attention is called to the following table

ASSESSMENT OF TANES.

The constitution requires that the lcgis-
lnturc shall provide for equalizng, as
near rs may be, the valuation of all prop
erty subject to be rendered for taxation;
and may provide for the classification of
all lands rs TO value, in the several coun-
ties.
1t is Il fundamental axiom in political
science, and Il constitutional demand as
well, that taxation shall be equal and uni
form. This can he done only by levying
taxes upon property in proportion to its
value, which the constitution declares
shall be ascertaincd by the legislature.
The census of the United States for 1890
shows that the taxable values of real and
personal property in Texas aggregated
50, 100, SO, I66; that the real estate. with
the improvements thereon, amounted TO
SL22O, 41G1Il. For the same year the
aggregate taxable values of the state, ac-
cording to the assessors rolls filed i'll
the comptroller's office. amounted to
$50, Ill, SS}, showing that for taxation
the property in this state for the year
lacked Sl,323, 464.S3 of reaching its
fair value -Four years later, that is, for
last year, the assessed valuation of all
property in the state, aC-
cording to the romptrOl-
ler'S records, amounted to $3.50, 100 $50,
or to Sl,24O, lI1,III less than the true
Naluauoh OF me same property, Accord
ing to the United States census of 1890.
There is Il radical wrong somewhere pre-
sented in its crude form by referring to
this disparity in values. Legislative re-
search may expose and correct it.
As a remedy, tending to correct the
evil, it is hereby respectfully suggested
that property assessments should be level
led up to something like fair valuations
To this end you are respectfully advised
to pass 4 law that will have n tendency
to control the assessor in fixing the valua-
ton of property:

A writer in Tho Science Review says
in respect to alcoholics that the result Of
their employment depends ON the guam
tity and quality taken. Alcohol given
quickly and in large doses is . deadly
poison. Diluted alcohol taken slowly
and repeatedly during the day irritates
the mucous membrane Of tho stomach
and secondarily the neighboring organs
and does violence TO the delicate tissues
The nearer the fluid is to absolute"
alcohol the more injurious il is likely
to prove. But the combination Of alcohol
with other ubstances--besides water

tho better, in others for the worse

The Rattoon cane being milled Is as hard
as II is possible for cane TO be, having been

prepared TO have its juice extracted than for

The first mill is now allowed to open y-l6 in.

now leaves the first mill, better ground, than
Il formerly did the second, and this without
the oid timed groaning, choking, and strain
