Good Fortune

The Texas state treasurer's
statement Of school lands re.
ceipts for November must be
decidedly interesting TO practical
men both at home and in other
states.
Nearly a half a million dollars
in interest payments on school
lands was added to the available
fund and over $4,000 10 the
permanent fund which already
amounts to a large interest-besr-
ing fortune for the benefit Of the
children Of Texas. IL cannot but
impress the citizens Of other
states and make them look
toward Texas, to learn that eff
cent public schools are kept up
and made available to every
child very largely without direct
taxation through the accumulat-
ing interest on deferred pay
ments on public lands sold and
on a great and growing perma.
nent fund from the same source.
The states whose public lands
were held by the federal govern
ment had no such foundation on
which to build an educational
system for present and future
generations. In many of them
direct taxes for school purposes
had to be high, and in some are
yet. There was no other way to
get the money. and the people
simply had To dig up"
Texas this year made q levy of
only 16 2.3 cents on the 500 val.
latIon for school purposes. The
people Of Iowa. or Nebraska and
'ther states. in the days when
hey were building school houses

'idered such a state tax a joke.
