MILL BUILDING In TEXAS

The era of cotton mill building IN
this state is just opening. The lie"
mills that begun the pioneer WORK
have demonstrated that cotton
manufacturing can be made to pay
and is paying. The result is an
awakening along industrial lines
that portends good to the state. Al
about the time the mills in this city
were completed a mill of siQilar ca
pacity began operations at Gonzales.
1t soon proved TO the monied men
of that community that IT was
good thing, and they resolved 10
push it along. The result was the
contracting few days ago for I'M
provements to the amount OF s4oO,
600; four times the original cost OIL
the mill. The contract for these inn
movements was let to Texas hrm,
ard ii is stated that the same firm
has contracts for the equipment OF
five other mills ia Texas. Texas
brains can accomplish AS much as
New England brains. There is need
for skilled operative and managerial
experience, but our people are not
slow to learn. Men of affairs are
recognizing the profits to be made
cut of cotton manufacturing and are
fast taking hold of the industry. 1t
will not be many years until every
cotton producing county in the state
will have its cotton mill.

claimed that the enormous deposit
carried by the National City bank
ia due to the Standard Oil Co.'S In
Huence with the administration, and
it would seem that the charge was
well founded when it is recalled that
this corporation is practically I'M
mime from all law. The brazenness
of its chief would also tend TO es-
tablsh this charge. Only few day S
since he is reputed to have person
ally signed kilograms to seVerai
senators saying that all ANTITRUST
LEGISLATION must be stopped.
while this brazen effort to control
legislation is Indignantly resented
by every honorable man, there Is a
wrong principle in the placing OF
nublic funds in privat hands, which
nav nothing for the use of such
funds, to which we call attention.
Not only is this true in national al
fairs. but the same system preV&ils
in county and city affairs, and
doubtless would exist in state aHairs
were private institutions allowed 10
hold public funds. Banking lnsu-
tutions are permitted TO carry big
balances belonging to counties ana
municipalities on which they pay
not one cent OF interest. sinking
funds are producing goodly revel ues
To private institutions while paying
nothing to the public treasures.
This is wrong. Public funds which
are not subject to check TO meet cur
rent expenses ought 10 produce a
revenue to the government to which
they belong. A bill is now pending
in the state legislature abollshlng
the offices OF county and city treas
urers and authorizing Commission
ers' courts and city councils TO
designate that bank which Will pay
the best rate of interest on the pup
lie funds, and furnish ample Sc
curity, as treasurer. Such law
should be enacted. City treasurers
receive no salary and the contest
for the office is usually between
banking institutions desiring to
carry the city funds.
Public funds should not be made
to yield revenue to private indi-
viduals. The case of the National
City bank If, of course, the most
notable in the country. But ~ha'
is done there with the national gov
eminent is done in almost every
county and city in the country, on
smaller scale, to the enrichment OF
the banks and 10 the hurt of the tax
payers. II the money of the tax
payer is to yield revenu" 10 any
one it should be TO the taxpayer.
