COMPTROLLER TERRELL.
WRITES or TAXES IN TEXAS

Hon. II. B Terrell. State Comp
troller has prepared strong paper
to submit to the legislature with mis-
annual report. in which he discusses
vital problems that confront the
State Of Texas
That Texas needs better business
methods in her State administration
is well known, and there is no better
way to begin than the way Mr. Tc'
rell has begun by pointing out the
faults Of the present system. In 1915
when Mr. Terrell became State Comp
troller departments in his office were
as much as year behind with the
work while other desks had no wor'
az all He Immediately consolidated
q number Of desks. fired lot Of use
less help and put the rest 10 work
with the result that all Of the wor'
Of the department is now up and an
annual saving Of 500 600 10 $40 600
is shown. With two additional de-
partments 10 handle Mr. Terrell ey-
poets to 90 further in reform and is
asking that five more desks in his de-
partment be abolished BY the next
Among the recommendation made
by Comptroller Terrell attention is
called 70 the need Of uniform taxa

Leon county are rendered At 500

head and in Yoakum $500 per head

are rendered for taxes As a remedy
for this condition Of affairs Mr. Ter
rcll suggests The separation Of
state and county taxes Is the only SO
luton pf this problem Let the state
raise It's revenue through occupation
franchise, gross receipts, Inheritance
tax and other such sources. while the
counties shoulf be left free to raise
such funds as their needs dictate BY
an ad valorem tax"
The gross receipts are ssh 600 an

should be $4,000 600 Laws 70 col

year but $50 was paid in taxes and
that by a single firm. while it is well
known that many dealers rem, pistols
and thus avoid taxation The law
should be repealed and an occupation
tax placed on dealing in pistols
Mr. Terrell also favors gross re-
ceipts tax on the manufacture Of
soft drinks and shows that the law
would yield the state $4,000 an
nually Amendments to the state .
printing laws and the state highway
laws are also included in the sub
jects discussed BY Mr. Terrell.
That Texas can save millions an-
nually by adopting up-to-date meth

there is not the slightest doubt in the
minds Of people who have studied the
finances Of the state The education
