Double Taxation.

The Granbury Graphic Democrat
thinks It has found the cause of high
interest rates In Texas It says:
Most people in Texas are always
.grumbllng because they have 20 pay
10 per cent for mouey here, while IN
some OF the northern states II Is be-
ne loaned for 6 and per cent.
There Is nothing very strange and
wonderful about Il. II man loans
money I'm Texas he must pay interest
on his notes. and the man to whom
he loans It Ia charged interest on the
money II a person sells a piece OF
land he is taxed on the notes, and
the person TO whom he sells the land
is taxed on the land. The out come is
that we have double taXation--a
thing that Is unfair and unjust in
every sense of the word. Firms In
New York can loan money In Texas
at per cent as easily as Texas arm
can loan Il at 10 per cent. The Tex
as Arm or person has to pay about 3
per cent taxation, while the person
who uses the money has to pay the
same rate The New York firm keeps
It's notes in its own state, thus avoid
ing the taxation. and at the same time
taking Interest" money away from
Texas that should remain here. But
OF course It Is constitutional and

QUESTIONABLE MOVEMENT
IN TEXAS SCHOOL MATTERS

Some OF the advanced thinkers OF
l,xas are speaking and writing in
favor of consolidating the State Uni
versity and the A. q NJ. College, at
Austin. The Signal has not yet come
To that view of matters. The Univer-
slty. and the A. & NJ College both
have grown to be big concerns. Tie
A. & NJ. especially has become 50
large that the student body Is I'M
wieldy and hard to manage and when
the A. a. NJ body and the University
body are thrown together 1t Will
bring. n united student force that
may seek to dictate state affairs, or
there Is apt to be such lack of
unity as will impair the usefulness
OF the institution. In any event II is
apt to take at least two years to
bring the two schools into harmoni-
Gus relations and the students will
lose large part of opportunity.
The Signal believes that, instead of
doing away with the A. & NJ. College
at Bryan, there should be three or
four new schools established on tn
same general lines.
Agriculture is the most important
branch of industry In Texas, and
scientific agriculture has made un-
usual Advancement, largely as a re-
suit of methods and teachings com
ing from the A. a NJ. College. and
nothing should be started up now
to retard that good work.
The state University turns out a
few engineers. but her principal pro
ducts are lawyers. doctors andpoliti-
clans. She has not been turning out
farmers and artisans. The A. e. NJ.
should be properly regulated and
equipped to do her special work,
that OF turning out practical men and
leave the University to give to our
men and women the higher finishes
in education.
Every section of Texas ought to
have a school for training farmers,
stock ralsers and mechanics. Thetime
has come when the business world
demands specialists and these should
come from Industrial colleges and not
left TO come from University where
complete University course must
be furnished before the student may
take up any special study. Give us
more Industrial colleges.
