TAX REFORM NEEDED IN TEXAS

First let the state ~equalize the
axes. Then, see about collecting
them. SO long as land owners in
counties which are progressive
enough to issue bonds for public i'm
provements must pay the state sew
eral times as much taxes as those
counties which have made no such
improvements, the burden Of main
tanning the government will be un-
equally adjusted. The injustice of
thus causing the progressive people
of the state, simply because they
are e%nterprising enough to issue
bonds, TO pay the state a penalty, as
it were, upon their enterprise, is
plainly manifest.
The press in every county which
has borrowed money on bond issues
should hammer on this subject until
the legislature remedies the matter.
Let the state appoint a tax commits
sion, which shall assess all state
property at its actual value for the
purpose Of taxation for state reve-
nues, and cease the practice Of col
lecting as much as the county col
lects, be 1T much or little, for state
purposes.
OF all the clumsy and unjust
methods of ~exacting money from the
unlucky property owner for the
support OF state government, Texas
takes the prize. 1t is time for re-
form.

TEXAS ENTERPRISING CITIES.

Texas cities seem destined to shine
among the great municipalities Of
this country. Galveston set the eX-
ample Of government by commission,
which has proven a brilliant success
and has been copied, with various
minor notifications, all over the
Union. Houston now steps into the
limelight with a special commits
sioner, in the person of Frank Put
nam, SEM to Europe to spend six
months studying the municipal ad-
ministration of public utilities of the
leading European cities. with a view
TO adopting any features that may
recommend themselves. The am
bition of the Bayou City may give
TO the country an example of mu-
nicipal government which will make
il a model to be copied throughout
the country also.

BETTER THAN SHIP SUBSIDY.


England may not be pleased with
Uncle Sans decision to allow Amer
lean ships to use the Panama canal
free Of tolls. but, to the average
American, it looks like a simple mat
ter Of business. Uncle Sam is a
benevolent old fellow, but philan-
thropy is not his first business. The
first thing he must do is to build up
his own country. The maintenance
of the Panama canal by foreign
ship tolls for the use of our own
merchant ships is a great deal bet
ter method of building up the Amer
lean merchant marine than would
be the payment Of ship subsidies to
American ship owners, for which the
entire people Of their own country
must be taxed.
With a toll free canal across the
isthmus American commerce is eX-
pected to grow and thrive enor-
mOusly.

Statement from City Engineer.

Brownsville. Tex, Aug. 26. 1912.
To The Herald:
In the issue of the Herald Of Aug.
"a | notice a communication from
Il absent councilman. Mr.. CObo-
lini, in regard to street paving, in
which he uses some figures that are
so glaringly inaccurate that | feel it
my duty to correct same.
Sometime ago | made a report to
the city council submitting figures
as to the relative cost of the local
sand (sarcastically called river silt
by Mr.. Cobolini and the editor of
the Sentinel) and the imported sand
used by the paving company for
sand cushion purposes. l still con-
tend these figures are correct and
call on Mr.. Cobolini or anyone else
to disprove them.
1t was not my intention to take up
this controversy again, but in view
Of the erroneous statement made by
Mr.. CObolini as TO the cost Of the
pavement. using the So-called river
silt" and imported sand | felt it nee
essary to present the correct figures.
The specifications call for a sand
cushion one inch deep under the
pavement and a top dressing which
would not average more than one
half inch. In other words, each
square yard of pavement would re-
quire one square yard Of sand one
and one-half inches deep. One
square. yard, one and on-half inches
deep equals one twenty-fourth Of a
cubic yard and therefore one cubic
yard of sand will cover twenty-four
square yards OF payment, one and
one-half inches deep. The cost of
imported sand is $1.S5 per cubic
yard on the work; local sand costs
from Csc TO 75c per load averaging
2-3 of a cubic yard. Taking the
lowest figure of Csc per load the ac-
tual cost of the local sand would be
approximately s1.00 per cubic yard
or a saving of sac per cubic yard.
Dividing S5c by twenty-four, the
number Of square yards covered by
a cubic yard Of sand. gives 8 1-2c as
the actual Swing per square yard Of
pavement as against CSC quoted by
Mr. Cobolini. This is a matter Of
arithmetic.
For the past three months have
listened patiently TO the slurs thrown
ont almost daily by the Sentinel in
regard to River Silt" and Paving
Experts" and hitherto have treated
them with the silent contempt they
merited. Now that l have
again taken my pen in hand. just a
few words to the editor of the above
mentioned paper. There are two
classed Of sand used under the pave

ment and | challenge you, Mr.. Edi-
tor of the Sentinel, to show me
where n terminates and the other
begins, or to show me in what par
~ticular portions the different kinds
are used. Are you aware, Mr.. Edi-
tor, that in Is per cen of the brick
buildings in Brownsville the So
called river silt" was used, and.
strange to say, they are still stand
ing. Even after twenty years ex-
perience in engineering work | do
not claim to be ar expert, but do
claim that this experience has
taught me a little common sense.
Why worry about the sand or the
river SILT" Mr.. Editor. as long as
the paving company has furnished
an ample bond to maintain said
pavement for a period Of FIVE years.
and turn same over in first class
condition at the end of that time?
Surely five years should be sufficient
to show the dement's of the river
SILT" should there be any, If there
is any worrying to be done in this
regard, Mr.. Editor. let the paving
company do it. and please do not in
flict the suffering public with any
more doses of river silt but give
them a little news instead.

Among the things which congress
has done at the session now ending
is the passage of an appropriation
of SIC 1000 for the establishment of
a sugar experiment station at
Brownsville. This is another thing
for which this section is largely in
debted to Congressman John n.
Garner. 1t was due to his indie
fatigable efforts in congress that the
appropriation bill included this pro-
vision, as =. finally emerged from the
joint conference. Considering how
appropriations were being economic
ally shaved down or pared off dur
ing this congress, it was really quite
a feat for Mr.. Garner to secure this
amount for the Brownsville sugar
experiment farm, anc we should be
duly grateful to him.

BOB TAYLOR ON

The following beautiful literary
gem from the pen of the late Senator
Bob Taylor of Tennessee, written in
comment upon a lecture by Robert
G.. %Ingersoll. was quoted in the
Chattanooga Times of recent date.
upon the occasion Of some discussion
of the great but misguided genius of
that apostel Of agnosticism:
I sat in a great theatre at the ma
tion capital that was thronged with
youth and beauty. old age and wis
dom. | saw a man the image of his
God stand upon the stage and /
heard him speak.
His gestures were perfection of
grace, his voice was music and his
language vas more beautiful than

blackness and blot out the beautiful
picture he had painted. | saw him
stab love dead t his feet. ! saw
him blot out the stars and the sun
and heave humanity and the uni
verse in eternal darkness and eter-
nal death.
saw him, like a lawless cratic,
worm himself into the paradise OF
human hearts by his seductive elo-
quence and subtle devices and
sophistry inject his fatal venom un-
der whose blight its powers faded
its music was hushed, it's sunshine
was made darkness and its soul was
left a desert waste with only the
new-made graves of faith and hope
