I ion of the Twelfth legislature. t'he art

i ■ | Til) Ml I xt <>f tMi
a. t . ; I.i r set otrt under Chapter 103
pa?v 182 if tEe gvntrai haws passed by
said Legk atone. Immediately upon I
th.- tik ng ettect -fMam L it
came t-he duty of the oommlsllonens' I
court of this county to cause to l>e pre.
pared by the county collector what is |
known under oa>M act as th’e "deMn- I
qu. nt tax record" and rhe compensa-
tion for making out tihls record. und<r I
the law was to be fixed by t'he Com- I
missiutiers' court.
Mr. Caoelano as collector of this I
I county under ordvr of the Commits- I
' rloncia’ court w. nt to work amt pre- I
pared this record in due conformity
| with the law ami on its vompietivn >it
| : trowed an anrvar of taxes for the I
I years 18S4 to 1896 inclusive amount- I
I ing to about $275000. Of this amount.
। Mr. Casslano since completion_of said
record hoa already collected $71000 in I
redeinvpt'iana being five times as much
a s was collected in redemptions for ithe I
t« Ivc m nths preceding the enact- I
n....: the law authorizing the pre-
I a. — . .1 of raid delinquent tax recent
Such a work as the preparation of
the Bexar county delinquent tax re-
cord done in such perfect order and
compCeten'ess as it is could not be done (
without considerable outlay of time and
money and a great amount of pain-
staking labor. Particularly in this
city and county was this work most 11
difficult and tedious compared to what
it was in other cities an 2 counties of 1
tihe state. When it is taken into con- >
that the greater portion of
this city and county was laid out by th- t
Spanish and Mexican governments in
irregular lots suertes and grants it f
can be readily realized by persons hav-
ing any knowledge of such matters I c
that such a record could not be cor- t
recitly complied without the closest
examination into and the most careful
comparison. of. not only the rolls In I H
the ci''.lector's office but also the recoidj ]
of the county assessor and commission- t
cr of tihe general land office at Austin t
as well as many other records pertain- | ~
ing ito 'lots arad lands In this county.
and further that such a record could v
not be compiled in this county without I .
i ncurring a much greater out .ay of J
time labor and money than would be ...
required in compilin* e miiar records in
cities and counties which were from
their Inccrpc-nativn and crganizatEn
regularly laid out in numbered lots t
Idock and sections as are the other c
large-cities and counties in this state. t.
Under the old law which was repeal- a
cd previous to the making of said re- a
cord the coMecitcr was entitled to a h
fee on taih assessment of lands to be t'l
sold which atone would allow Mr. w
Cas-iano as collector of Bexar county e
far such mark about $15000 without «
making mention of the fact that over i
twenty thousand additional assess- w
merits were in-sertod in said record d
the test of which is not 'included In said f
estimate of $15000.
These comparisons are made simpiy ti
to sliow that Mr. Cassiano did not re- a
eeive any too large a fee for the work fi
done by him in compiling the Bexar fi
county delinquent tax record and that c
such account is net in excess of what e;
was ■previously allowed him under the ai
old law. "
Ths work of coitecbung thesa delin- v
qusnt taxes however does not test
with the coHector alone. Under the 1:
same act. authorizing preparation or p
the delinquent tax record by the col- w
■lector there are also set out the dunes t
of t'he county clerk county attemey
clerk and sheriff to further the p
collection of these taxes by due pro- a
cess of Law and when each of these of- u
fleers have performed their respective a
duties tn 'this matter t'he fees which s
will acc-ure to them respectively are tl]
about as fallows viz; t:
County clerk $6000. <-miUy attorney d
$17760 district clerk $8150 sheriff $lO.- t
400. . * i h
The work done by the collector in d
preparing the delinquent tax record in- a
vcAved twice as much work as that to a
be performed under the law by either a
cue of these other officers. This com- a
parison also serves to show that Mr. a
Cassiano did not receive any t»o large .
an amount in proportion to the work j
d-ne by 'him and that the amount paid r
Mm teas strictly In aiximdance with c
law. „ °
It wilt tr- seen by an examination of
the law that the Legislature in 189;> „
pi ivided that the comptroller should t
prepare vlvis delinquent tax record and ।
that the last session of the Legislature a
n 1897 finding that ii was absolutely e
imp. for the comptroller to make t
out these records for the counties on
account of the immense volume of the
work and because of its
and complexity it would require a Me
time for him to do it. The law of 189. j
had up to the last session of the legis-
lature. been a dead letter and millians
of dollars In delinquent taxes were due
tihe state 'and counties in Texas and
■the Legislature almost unanimously
and on the recommendation of the
comptriitler placed this duty on the
different counties through the Commis-
f oner's courts and tax collectors. The
counties lieing the direct beneficiaries
and they having t'he data at hand. So
this work has been completed and has
already resulted in hundreds Of thous-
ands of dollars being collected in taxis
in t'he various counties of the state.
Thousands of parties heretofore evad-
ing and refusing to pay tlheir taxes
have been required to pay under this
law. And the stamp of approval has
been placed on this as one of tihe best
laws passed by the Legislature.
I t will be further seen that in prepar-
ing these ''delinquent tax record” that
it covers a period of 13 yeans and it
Ireing now completed la a perpetual re-
cord for t'he use of the officers and ran
be used as evidence in court until every
dollar of delinquent taxes have been
collected.
If th'e collector has -received $11683
from the Commissioners' court for
compiling this record it was not too
much for it was one of the .moat ted-
ious ami difficult pieces of work possi-
ble to devolve on a tax collector for by
examing the law it will be seen that
the collector has to practically make
out an ''abstract of title” for each de-
linquent for the thirteen years oft de-
linquency. An abstract of title by an
abstract i-ompany costs from $lO to $5O
ordinarily and for the thousands of
delinquent what would It cost at this
rate?
In 'addition 'to 'this it provides that
that the itollector snail make a list of
all lands lots or parts of lots showing
when the lands or lots were reported
delinquent or sold to the state; the
name of the owner at that time the
number of acres the amount of taxes
due when first sold and the amount
of taxes assessed against the owner
thereof and returned delinquent for
each year in making up such list or
kbsls corrections and omissions 'in the
description of any real estate embrac-
ed in such list or lists shall be made so
that when corrections are made and
omissions supplied the description will
be such as is given tn the abstracts of
>. f all the titled and patented lands in th
I state of TV'xas or as require;! in ■Sec

I of dt iinquiT.t taxes is all Vh'a collector

It 11 tiue he is entitled to some ok!

the -heriil and cth<.r otl'f r- h rve fees

ellacting double fees. Taxes and fees I
i iuld never be collected 'in the past I
urtil the law s of 1897 .rendered it <pos.d-
■1? to make delinquents j ay up.
In regard to the work necessary and
| a •tu-ally don? in making up the •‘de-
linquent tax recoid for mlrtton years" I
no . ne cam have the slightest .canceip-
tl. a unless h? Is familiar with ■tihe
work done and tihe 'requirements of t'he I
law. 'A careful exam'lmatlon of this I
very c mplex yet very saJutary law
and a ccmiparison wiiuh the work done I
vill convince any candid man of the I
- tu'pindous and tedious amount of work
neti'seary.
Otr worthy and efficient tax ccAtec. j
tor who has litem openly in the press I
c immemded by our present state wm-
t: jK?r as well as by Ms predecessor
>3 one of the most efficient competent
and painstaking collect i s in tihe state
has during the heat and bitterness of
t'he present campaign liem charged
with extortion and with receiving an
exceewive and illegal fee from the
county Commissioneis’ court for mak-
ing up this delinquent fax record can
well say that his work has been well
done and that he has not ovcrciliarged
for the work and also that this ’.’re-
co-rd" as it m<nv stands compl'et'ed and
t'he property of 'the county will stand
as a perpetual monument to the ef-
ficiency and splendid ability of an of-
ficer upon whose efficiency and work
c. spends the colfecticn of all 'the mon-
eyw necessary to run this government
and 'it wM be a monument more endur-
ing 'than braes to Jose Cassiano and
t.h'3 county Commissioners’ court.
In conclushm it can be said that in
tho above article 'invidious ar. 1 de-
lusive comparisons have been made
with the making of the "delinquent
tax records” of other coun-
tke. This Is wreng ’oecause
the conditions in < tlher counties
and cities are dlffer'enl from ours and
tihe number cf years cf delinquency
are Jiiffeifent from ours: Cm
some there are <<r...y two 'or.
three years of delinquency in others
thirteen vears and in every county
different central ts are'" made and ho
two axe alikb. In Galveston which
has been cited as an exampHe the con-
dltions are perhaps more like ours tnan
anv other city or county In the Mtate.
and we find in Galveston that the
amount of dellnqu mt taxes due was
about $BOOOO and in Bexar county
alrout $275000. also find th- county col-
lector of Galveston e nwity received
$5500 far making up the delinquent
record for the th'iiteun years and the
collector of 'Bexar county eoanething
over $llOOO over three times as much
taxes due end a little over twice as
much oomitnsatton i-add. Doesn't
this compare favorably 'with Galves-
ton? And y. t Galveeiton has b n cited
as an 'example in the aWoVe attack. An
effc-rt has been mode by the collector
to get letters from the collectors < f
some of the countifs mentioned jn said
articles but eo far cn'ly communica-
tion .has been by telejjh.m'9 and by
wire. Wail ting for these Tetters with
tn£ figures and data has oceasicn. 1
the delay Tn answering such Charg- s
but now the time is drawing near and.
we can wait me lunger.
This statement is submitted to the
people of Bexar county as a true and
correct one and if there are any
"doubting Thomases." it cam be veri-
fied by Inspecting the work done and
all t'he other records as well as the de-
linquent 'tax law and by communicat-
ing with Galveston by wire or tele-
phone.
In conclusion will ray that Chas die.in-
quent tax law is not a part of th'e fee
bill and has no connect'lan wi-tlh it al-
though 'it Us Ireing constantly Charged
as a jiart of the fee bill out Is a I rill to
cnab'.e voKvchrrs to collect dellnqu’ht
taxes and the work Imposed on the
collectci's by this law was suggested
by t.he state comptroller himself and
agreed to by Senaaor Colquitt the .in-
troduier of the bill and which went
through almost unaWiwnnY and ire-
cam e a law.
It Is impossible to explain all the >le-
taWs of this law to an article of t bis
length and the balance wtill be left to
the judgment of t.he 'fair-minded vitf-
zen whose criticism and 'investigation
is invited rather 'than the malice of
political enemies to insjrect a piece of
work wthich has already turned $71000
into the ■county and state treasuries
which couW not heretofore be collected.

A most successful and pleasant time
was the event of the ten-cent serial
given for the benefit of E. O. C. Ord
corps at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
oMc.ChMF WMCY FWY9H SHRLD
Max Cohen. Avenue D. on last Thurs-
day night. The home was prettily dec-
orated and refreshments were ex-
cellent. "Bouncing Bettie" was well
patronized and netted a neat little sum
and at the same time affording much
merriment.
