Honesty AT a Discount

Reports from Austin show that 100000 is due

government ten years if not another dollar

due, and never collected
The poor dub who pays his taxes regularly every
year-the simple fool who has respect for the
law and little regard for his debts-the innocent by
stander who looks upon a public tax of the in
evtable conditions of ctzenship-the idiot who believes
that laws made to be enforced and who does not
desire to see himself buletined a tax dodger-won-
deIs very naturally how a delinquent tax list Of
s5 100000 could be built up without somebody being
brought book.
The evasiOns extend a period of 30 years.
Every county in the state is involved In view Of the
obligations assumed by tax collectors when they take
public office, it looks to the poor dub If few
hundred, a few thousand, present and past public
officials in Texas had been guilty Of gross breach Of
trust and misfeasance in office, to have allowed
S51,OO0,O0O delinquent tax list to be built up.
Texas is always hard up. The richest state IN the
union in many respects, have become familiar with
the deficit the default the discounted warrant the

The mayor makes the point, most justly, that the
people of FL Paso city pay most of the county taxes
and that it is only right that considerable part Of
the money used for county roads should be spent IN

property abutting the Fort Bliss roads at their

meet the problem squarely.
These two roads, from the Country club and
from Richmond terrace, should be paved with btu

manning the city unpaved signed up for paving
and ought to be reached in few months. The roads

adopted in that part of the city. And a permanent

viii applaud mayor LEAFS proposal to the board Of
county commissioners that Fort Bliss be at once
nected with the city by paved roads With troops
stationed in the FL Paso district amounting IN numbers
to two brgades, and with thousands OF individuals
passing to and fro between the army post and the city
every day, the transportation facilities have been and
are disgraceful far as highways are concerned.
1t left private enterprise to provide one con-
siderable stretch Of paved street making part Of the
Fort Bliss highway. Many years ago macadam road
built to the post but the county maintained
It, and 1t went to pieces in spite of an implied agree
ment that this road would be kept up.
Every post cOmmandant, every general officer, who
has been stationed at Fort Bliss IN the last dozen
years has complained bitterly about the poor roads
tween the city and the post When the garrison num-
beTed only few hundred men, the condition was bad
But now with thousands there and with the tremendous
necessity for easy transportation by wheeled vehicles

Is nothing short Of outrageous.
When the secretary Of was here not long ago,
