GREAT ROOM FOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS,

Some of people who complain of taxation for
school purposes and those who hoast of large
expenditures for educational account should look into
the cost Of schools in other parts Of the country
NOTABLY in New York City,
Greater New York has approximately in numbers
the population of Texas Here schools cost from
sS.oOOOO0 to s3,5o00Oo year. In New York City the
department Of education costs about s19000000 a
year If ii is said New York can better stand the ex-
pense by of its greater wealth. It be an
swered that New York does not enjoy great educa-
tona fund left by the fathers, but must raise its
money wholly by taxation. And this in addition to
its other municipal expenses which are many times
greater than the cost of State government.
Texas has excellent school system so far as It
Happily, too, interest in education Is steadily
increasing. Our normas and our higher institutions

do TO place our public schools on the plane wher,
they ought to be. They should not only be more nu
merous, but the school term should be heightened
There is great room for Improvement. too in the
character OF the school buildings and the necessary
appliances for teaching.
The public school fund of Texas has been both u
blessing and detriment, as paradoxeal as that may
sound It has been blessing In the poorer districts
and II has furnished welcome help in all quarters
but 1t is question whether the existence of such
fund has not rendered many localities Indifferent

A NOW COMMON TRICK OF THE TRUSTS.

When n beefeatng people see prices for this food
going skyward, without any apparent in changed
conditions of the country, OF the supply and de
mand, 1t becomes of interest TO inquire into the mat.
ter and find II possible the determining factor of the
advance.
The Beef trust which is responsible for this in fact
arbitrary increase in the price of beef offers the lame
excuse that the farmers who supply the cattle are
too busy harvesting their carry their beef to
market The simple to this is that the farmers
supply but small proportion of the trusts beef which
comes rather from the cattlemen. But again II this
were the cause, similar advance would have oe.
Cured annually which has not been the case
The Philadelphia Ledger has apparently found the
true explanation for the practice OF this new extoron
upon the home consumers. THE plain truth probably
is says tue Ledger that the Beef trust is making
vigorous effort TO capture the foreign markets and 10
do so It must sell its goods at a low price II must
lose this venture but expects to recoup itself by
taxing the American consumer Added TO this is the
fact that Il has the consumer at its mercy 1t controls
the market and can charge what II chooses tho con
sumner must pay or so without Some people must 20
without, but there are enough who viii have meat AZ
whatever price, to pay the exorhtant prices charged
by the trust
The trust enjoys tariff protection OF 2 cents per
pound, which ought not to be necessary in view Of
the fact that supply our own markets as cheap
~ as they possibly be supplied under natural con
ditions by any other nation earth But the tax is
there and the trust is only following the plan OF the
other trustsmaking the home consumers pay Tor the
expense OF capturing the foreign markets.

CONGRESSIONAL Vslroas ANp TAe eAyou

The people Of Houston than glad to have
the members of the rivers and harbors committee Of
the National house visit this city and section and make
critical examination OF Buffalo bayou with reference
to the feasibility and Importance OF its improvement
We anxious. in fact, to have the committee see
itself upon what base claims for
National assistance In the premises We not afraid
of the most exhaustive investigation but challenge it,
and viii feel the utmost confidence in favorable ac
ton by congress when the facts fully appreciated
There only two questions to be determined.
The matter of cost hardly enters into the proposition
A few millions are nothing to the National govern
ment If by their expenditure substantial aid can be
given the further development of the commerce of
the country. The two questions to be answered to
the committees satisfaction az Whether the
proposed ship channel is practicable, and 90 whether
Il will be an important addition to the shipping or
trade facilities OF the great Southwest.
The report of the army engineers ought to be con
vinong as to the feasibility of the Improvement These
engineers after thorough survey of the waterway
conclude that not only ship channel be opened
from the jettes to Harrisburg at comparatively small
cost but that no engineering difficulties of any
quence presented That should settle the question
Of practcability to that extent. From Harrisburg
which is at last but suburb of Houson-to the city
proper engineering problems do arise, but not nsur
mountable by any means, nor SO very costly in
view of the Importance of the work.
II win be for the committee however, to determine
whether the channel shall now be brought to Houston
the present at Harrisburg There certainly
can be no practical objection to bringing the deeI
water to Harrisburg.
The Importance of the Improvement is equally ap
parent The members of the committee must at once
appreciate the value of deep water nfty miles inland
from the coast connected with half dozen great rail
road systems at the door of the greatest inland cot
ton market in the world and growing market for al
the products OF the Southwest and last but not least
andlocked and safe from the disastrous gulf coas
storms. Deep water to Houston, Harrisburg woulC
simply and quickly add another great port to those
the nation and be worth ten or twenty times its cos
to the country.
All these considerations are so familiar to thu
people OF this section, and clearly establish thei
own merits in the presentation or enumeration
of them, that Houston could be no more gratihed b.
anything than by close study of the problems in
volyed at first hand and the ground by the river
and harbors committee. We naturally, therefore, eN
pect much from this congressional visit.
