The Tax Remission Decision

Decision Of the Supreme Court Of Texas in the
Hidaleo County tax remission case brought dismay
the state over until details of the judgment became
available. At first glance it appeared that more than
so counties whose taxes had been RENTED would
suffer from the decision.
Later It developed that all Of these counties have
not had their taxes RENTED" by the state. many Of
them have had their taxes diverted" by legislative
action. A subtle distinction. perhaps, but one which
saves Cameron county. for instance. the penalty i'm
posed on Hidalgo county. for the so-called tax remis-
sion bill Of Cameron county was in reality a tax
diversion bill.
The Hidalgo action came about as a result OF the
county to secure the rebating or remission Of all state
taxes levied ON property in the county, rather than
the commonly understood remission OF the state ad
valorem tax alone. For years the county had not
paid TO the state its ad valorem tax. and no COM
plant was heard. However. when the county took
the position that It was entitled. under the terms Of
the bill. to all state taxes levied within its limits, the
state fought back and won not only the point in
question by the addition Of a future payment of the
ad valorem tax Is well. Following the decision to its
logical conclusion means that Hidalgo county will be
forced to make an additional levy Of n cents.
However. The Brownsville Herald would point on.
TO the people Of Hidalgo county that there has never
been any doubt in the minds Of the people OF Texas
or in the minds Of the legislature as to the intent Of
Hidalgo county's tax remission bill. The intent was
to remit a sufficient amount Of taxes TO the county
to enable the construction Of the extensive flood
control works which have been completed for a num-
Der Of years and which have now been taken over by
the federal government. Flood control bonds to the
amount Of s 100000 were voted by the county on
the strength Of this legislative action renting taxes
to support the payment Of principal and interest on
these bonds.
To deprive the county OF the money thus appro-
priated to its benefit after a lapse OF 10 years would
be m~anifestly unjust. and to further seek to collect
the taxes unpaid 70 the state during this 10 year
period would be a Still greater injustice.
The Brownsville Herald respectful suggests 70 Hi
dalgo county. a suggestion doubtless not needed. that
immediate plans be put in motion to secure the pass
age of a tax diversion bill at the special session
which Will convene in September, a bill that will
meet al OF the objections TO the former bin as brought
out in the recent decision Of the Supreme Court. A
growing sentiment against tax remission has been
noted in legislative circles. but We cannot believe that
the legislature would desire to punish Hidalgo county
by refusing to ratify in effective fashion the action
taken by itself years ago. neither do We believe that
the people Of Texas would desire duly elected repre-
~scntatives 70 make that refusal.

Hardly in Good Taste

Dramatic critics have written a good deal In recent
years about the decline Of the stage; but however
great this decline may have been. there seems 70 have
been no decline whatever In the appetite OF q certain
section Of the theatre going public for dramatic fare Of
an exceedingly odd kind.
This reflection is brought forth By an announce
ment that az least a few Of the members OF the jury
that convicted Hauptmann are going TO be on the
stage.
To 60 on the stage is an inahenable right OF any
free-born American citizen to be sure. provided ne
can get away with It; and a public which has recently
financed public appearances Of Pa Dillinger has small
right to be finicky.
Nevertheless, a number Of people would be left
with a better taste IN their mouths II these Jurors
should reconsider.

More Hope Extended
For PareSis Victims
By DR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

ana OF hygeiA. the Health Magazine
II a man or a woman developed softening OF the
brain tor general paresis) around 1900. the outlook
was invariably bad. There was the possibility OF
fatality, and. II life persisted. the likelihood of years
OF confinement in an Institution for the insane.
Since that time great advances have occurred. The
famous Japanese investigator. Noguchi. found that
this condition was caused by the organism that pro-
duoes syphilis.
Then a German investigator showed that the in
jection OF such people with the organism that causes
malaria brought about a fever which tended to stop
progress Of the paretic condition.
Since that time other methods OF producing fever
have been developed. including use OF heat brought
about by passing an electrical current through the
body, and heat developed through devices for raising
temperature Of the air and controlling humidity.
Moreover. certain products have developed which
act specifically against this disease. including various
notifications Of arsenic. such as Salvarsan Cor 606)
neoSalNarSan. and tryparSamide.
The OUTLOOK for such a person today Is not hopeless.
For example. in 1909. rs per cent OF men with this
condition who were admitted to institutions in New
York died in the institution within four years and 81
per cent died within Is years.
Studying the figures from 1925 through 1891. we
find a tremendous improvement. OF 1856 patients
admitted TO the institution in 1928. / per cent were
discharged as recovered. 1861 per cent as much i'm
proved. and lOs per cent were discharged as consid-
erably improved.
Or. contrasting more specifically the patients with
this condition who could be discharged from the
hospital. one-half Of / per cent recovered in 1920,
whereas in 1891 about 3 per cent recovered. In 1920.
10 per cent were improved. whereas in 1881, IS per
cent we're improved.
Naturally the tendency TO recovery and improve
ment lowers the death rates, so that those admitted
TO institutions with this condition who die promptly
are much fewer than those who used TO die promptly.
OF particular interest is the fact that the number
Of men with this condition coming into institutions
in New York state. seems to be slowly declining while
the number OF women coming in seems to De rising
rather steadily.
