INDIRECT TAXATION
DECEPTIVE.

There should be no occupation
taxes levied in the State of Texas.
If the State needs the revenue de-
rived from this source, let the tax
be added to the property tax or
let it be imposed on incomes. This
would be far more just than a
law compelling people to pay for
the privilege of engaging in certain
occupations. No matter how small
merchants stock or how small
his gains, he must pay the occupa-
ton tax. The some applies to other
callings. The country doctor, with
an income often small and uncer-
tain, must pay the same tax as the
prosperous city practitioner And
men of all callings that are subject
to this odious tax are paving far
more toward the support Of the
State, in proportion to their wealth,
than the wealthy idlers whose
riches consist in stocks and bonds
or money out at interest. The
State Government must be support
ed, but the burden should be equal
lied according to the individual
ability of the people of the State to
pay.-BRoWNsvILLE HERALD.
OF course, If it IS Il calling that
requires extraordinary police reg
ulations, like the liquor business,
for example, a license tax may he
justifable; but only as police reg
ulation. Indirect taxation is deep
tive and leads to extravaganza. -

THE absorption Of the Frisco
system by the Rock Island may
have some effect upon Brownsville's
chances of securing a railroad, and
probably favorable effect. 1t has
long been thought by close observers
OF the railroad situation that the
Rock Island system would ultimate
ly reach out for Mexican territory,
and, now that it pas absorbed the
Frisco, it appears more probable
than ever that such is its object.
Il was thought by some that the
principals" whom Mr.. Lott is
representing in his proposition to
build railroad to Brownsville
we're the owners Of the Frisco sys-
TEN. In that event, and supposing
also that the Rock Island is bent
on entering Mexico, it may be con-
sidered almost a certainty that the
read will be built through this see
ton Of the state, a. this route offers
a territory in both Texas and Mex
leo as vet untouched by railroads
and one thai promises great
development in the near future.
The fact that this route offers a
much shorter line to Mexico CITY
and other interior points in Mexico
than any existing lines would also
give it the preference of a new COM
petitor for Mexican trade. The
Rock Island is considered one of the
seundest corporations in the coun-
Try, and it may be safely depended
npon to DO whatever it undertakes.

SOME Of the northern papers are
publishing daily columns of stuff
relating the hideous details of the
murders committed by Alfred
Knapp, who was arrested lately in
Ohio Knapp is evidently 4 moral
pervert of a very dangerous and
rabid type, and his crimes, judging
by the sensational advertising given
them must be of an unusual and
revolving nature. It IS to be re-
GREETED that such glaring publicity
is given to deeds of this sort, show
ing a perverted taste on the part Of
the publishers, and on the part Of
The supporters Of such papers.
While it may be too harsh to demo
inmate such sensation mongers as
a school OF vice, yet it cannot be
doubted that their effect upon too
many readers tends to create a de
PRAYED appetite for that class of
literature, and surely has Il de-
moralizing effect.
