Gov. Moody has let it be known that the legislature
will be convened in special session on Jan. 20 and on
that day the legislative hopper will begin its grinding
Subjects submitted First, to locate a prison within
20 miles Of Austin. Second. to limit fees Of county
officers 20 s12.5oO maximum. Third, to cancel Travis
county's courthouse lease.
According 10 the members OF the capitol press
gang. whether other subjects may be laid before the
session has not been disclosed but they quote the
governor as having said he had made a New Year
resolution to limit the work Of the session.
A maximum salary of sl25OO including fees should
be acceptable to office holders in the larger coun-
ties. Texans pay their governor $4,000 a year. They
pay their high court judges $4,000.
Mayor James ]. Walker of New York had his sal
airy increased from $4,000 a year TO $4,000. Know
ing how to play the game he handed the $4,000 in
crease to seven charitable organizations OF the city
Of New York.
Texans who are county officers would make them
selves popular with taxpayers by handing the differ
ence between $4,000 and sl2,5O0 a year to the worthy
charities in their respective communities.
If a Texas governor is expected to exist on $4,000
a year. why not a sheriff or a clerk or a prosecuting
attorney. etc. Why the rank discrimination in the
matter of salary between that OF the chief executive
Of a commonwealth like Texas and the holder Of a
county office regardless Of the population OF the
county or It's wealth?
Perhaps some day the voters Of Texas may come
cut Of their trance and do justice to all concerned
