therefore, require a tax levy of
five cents on the hundred dollars
TO take care of the deficit. The
Waters-Pierce wInd-falI will be

the deficit and care for the neces-

Austin, Texas, Aug. 9. II has
been strenuous week at Austin.
Many a little stream with a swol-
len torrent has emptied its bur
den into the whirlpool of dissat-
isfaction and a tidal wave Of
master thinkers has flooded the
Legislature with advice, threats
and offers TO go on the pay roll.
Those who hunger and thirst
for power have been beating the
political tom tom and sending
shrieking vibrations through the
Legislative halls, but it is a good
experience for our solons, as it
will fit their nerves for the strife
below. In the Legislature, it is
Just one thing after another.
Our Legislators are a jolly lot of
good fellows. and with the ex-
ception of the call to arms"
that occasionally echoes through
the Legislative halls, they are as
happy as a lot of young colts in
a pasture. but if they tried to
please everybody, they would
please nobody and lose their Jobs
in the bargain.
