HE WEEKLY INDEPENDENT
THE NEXT LEGISLATURE

Before the fall campaign begins,
the taxpayers of the different
counties should look about them
for suitable material for members
of the Legislature. The state has
reached a crisis in its history, Sc
far as its financial condition is
concerned. Past legislatures
have created new offices, increased
salaries and conducted the state
government on basis far in
excess Of the ability of the people
to pay. The expenses of many of
the county governments have also
been increased hevond the point of
reasonable and just pay Tor the
services rendered.
The next legislature should be
composed of men who will examine
into conditions thoroughly and who
will he brave enough to lop off
every unnecessary state or county
official and reduce every salary
that is excessive. There is horde
of stenograghers, typewriters and
assistants in the state Offices who
should I've separated from the
public treasury. This would
doubtless raise howl from those
people and their friends, but il
would receive the approval of &
large majority of the taxpayers.
the taxpayers of the different
counties should combine in the
election of legislators who have
interests in the state and whose
ability and integrity are undues
toned. Partisan politics should
not weigh in the selection of legis.
lators. The senatorial vacancy
will be settled by the voters at the
polls ami the legislature will merely
ratify the peoples choice. With
the political question settled by
the voters, there should be nc
difficulty in the taxpayers Of the
various counties getting together
on nonpartisan tickets and elect.
ing Legislators who will do their
full duty to the state and to its
citizens. If this is done in all the
counties of the state, a Legislature
will be chosen that will reduce the
expenses of the state ard county
governments without impairine
their efficiency.

THE GREAT CAUSE
WAY Ar GALVESTON

On the night of September 8.
1900. Galveston was almost swept
off the map by possibly the fercest
tidal. wave ever experienced on
the Gulf coast. When the storm
submerged the little city of about
IS. 900 people had sustained loss
in property of more than $1,000,
900, while the deaths to the storm
king exceeded 600 lives. Never
before had any American city
sustained such calamity. Possibly
tenth of its entire wealth and Ia
little less than fifth Of it's popula-
tion had persisted in a single
night.
The task set for the Galveston
people was of two-fold character;
first. to survive and recover;
second. to prevent another disaster
of that kind. In the second con-
sideration was involved the build
ing of seawall approximately
four and one-half miles in length
and raising the grade of the entire
city from eight feet above means
tide on tie bay side to sevent en-
feet at the seawall, and finally the
building of causeway from the
island of the mainland above all
recorded flood level, broad and sub
stantial, and providing immediate
and effective means of escape from
the city in event of storms beyond
the calculated possibility.
The initial step toward the con-
struction of this causeway W a
taken in 1906. The causeway is
built entirely. of concrete and is
lO,675 feet long. l19 feet wide al
the roadway top, aud equipped
about half way between city and
mainland. with a roller-lift bridge
fortv-fve feet wide and lOU fee,
long, said to be the heaviest roller,
lift ever constructed. The cause,
way is wide enough to permit
abreast a passenger train. freight
train, interurban train, a road,
way for automobiles and otner
vehicles and wide sidewalks ar
each side for pedestrians. This
the last protective achievement OF
three which have cost the people
of GalVeSto" total of S., 900, 900;
the final act in civic program
constructiveness that has few
parallels in the history of cities.-

A question as to the validity of a

The latter told him he had a propo-
sition from Rosenthal to invest S.,

but made a proposition to Rose to

a dummy" to hold the mortgage and
appointed Rose to take charge" The
witness explained the break came

$500 when the house made several
