AUSTIN, March 21— An important
factor In the tax situation is to sacure
legislation that will give come do rce
of permanence to economics effected
during the present period when econ-
omy has become a matter about which
there la no debate. It is obvious that
conditions are propitioua for change.-;
and reforms that will extend benefits
of retrenchment beyord th3 period of
the present emergency. It Is equally
obvious that little will have been ac-
complished if measures of economy
gain approval simply as emergency
matters.
To adopt measures temporary in
purpose and character that are equiv-
alent to an admission that the cost of
government should return to its for-
mer high levels would be a distinct
failure to make the most of the pre-
sent opportunity. People are intense-
ly tax-conscious now. They seldom
are when business Is at normal. For
this reason, many think it would be
a blunder not to capitalize on present
sentiment and write into the organic
law some very definite barriers to ex-
cessive government costs in future.
It is necessary to bring expendi-
tures down to the capacity of the
people to pay in order that the pre-
sent unbalanced condition of State
and local budgets may be corrected.!
To stop there, however, would laave
ths larger task of providing safe-
guards and eliminating wasteful ex-!
penditures practically untouched.

money. They have responsibility with

QUICKER, BETTER

Black-Draught
"I have taken Black-Draught, off
and on when needed, for twenty-
five years, for It is easy to take,"
writes Mr. Georgo T. Wharton, of
Petersburg, Va. "I tako it for con-
stipation and when I have that
dull, tired feeling. I take it for
colds and other complaints when
a good laxative Is needed, and !
believe it gives me quicker .-ml
better relief than any other medi-
cine I know. It certainly has
been a help to me."

Several coristitutional amendments
designed to correct this condition
have been introduced in the Legisla-
ture. A committee is row trying to
combine them into a single measure.
There is a d'stant danger that harm
may result from too greatly liberal-
izing authority for issuing bonds and
determining limits of taxation as ap-
plied to counties. The "home ride"
idea sourds attractive. Yet, it has
been shown that extravagance in pub-
lic expenditures, ra'her than economy,
has followed the loosening of consti-
tutional inhibitions. It will be fouvd
that the local tax burden has become
heaviest where the greatest measure-
of local action is permitted. This is |
the statement that taxes i

signed to provide an automatic check
