the members of the legislature can-
not well understand how it is that
large appropriations are asked for
and actually requited to repair
grounds, fences and public buildings

there upi car* to lie a feeling here
that seems to indicate that the state

It will lie found upon examination
that the judicial district bill passed
at the regular session of the Kight-
tenth Legislature, which takes effrt
, 18S1, needs some corrections
and amendments to cure certain de-
fects, which have from time to time
been pointed out by members of
your own bodies.

law," I have deemed it proper to give
the legislature a chance to say
whether or not other securities than
those named should lie purchased.
It is proper to observe that the
b.mrd of education, since the adop-
t'on of the amendment, has invested
J1 .355.74S.lt2 of the school lund in
county bonds. The bulk of the in-
vestment has been invested in 0 per
cents ut par.
t have no recommendation to
make about "other securities," for
investing the school fund. Ii per-
mission is granted counties to fund
their indebtednesses, I have no doubt
but that county bonds will absorb
all the permanent school and asylum
funds for years tojeome.
In the opinion of the board of
education, there could not be two
bodies, each with plenary nowcr to
invest the school funds in the 1"

Various counties of the state have
a floating indebtedness, and owe
more or less for bridges and other
purposes, that they recognise as
valid debts, and in some enses they
have issii<*d lioiids. The board of
education, so far, has refused to pur-
chase for the school fi rid any county
bonds except th se.issiied to build
court houses, and subsidy Ismd* is-
sued prior to the adoption of the
present constitution, on the ground
that there ap|>eared to be no express
authority to issue any other species
of boncls. If them' counties were
authorized by lav to lund their
dsbts, including all character of
claims recognized bv tlieni as valid,
tiiey could put their bonds covering
such indebtednesses on the murkct
und the lioard of education would
teel authorized to buy them.

TAXATION.
The amendment to the constitu-
tion proposed by the legislature, sub-
mitted to and adopted by the people,
so changed the law that one-fourth
of the general revenue will no longer
go to the support of free schools, and
until additional legislation is had.
thirty cents on the one hundred doi-
lurs will be ley ied and collected for
general purpose*;, and no part thereof
will l e set apart tor the school fund.
It will, therefore, l e necessary to
levy a s|iecial tax for free schools.
The amount to lie levied is at your
discretion, not to exceed the maxi-
mum named iu the constitution.
It is suggested that with the one-
fourth of the occupation lax. interest
on bonds and hind notes, and tuml*
from other sources, a levy of ten cents
on the one hundred dollars' worth ot
property will lie sufficient tomuintaifi
the schools the requisite ,ime.
The report of the hoard of educa-
tion together with the estimates fur-
nished by the secretary, and tile
| Comptroller's report, will greatly as-
i sist you in arriving at the rate of
| taxation absolutely necessary.
I Ot course the thirty cents on the
| one hundred dollars' worth of prop.
; ertv. now levied tor general revenue
j purposes, will not be necessary.'
I \Vith the increase of taxable values,
the revenues will increase. Twenty-
two and one-half cents has lieen suf-
ficient in the past,and Isuggist that
eighteen cents on the one liundred
| dollars will produce sufficient reve-
: iiue, with that derived from other
j sources, to support the government.
| The ensuing year will demnnstiate
j whether it is sufficient or not, and,
1 us the Nineteenth legislature will
i meet a year hence, the amount enn
lie increased or diminished as may be
found necessary.
In arriving at the amount of tax
necessary to lie levied, it must be
borne in mind that the large expen-
ditures for the present year, comprts-
I ing appropriations for the North
! Texas and Austin lunatic asylums,
deaf und dumb asylum, the Alamo,
agricultural and mechanical college.
! and other.', aggregating about a half-
! million dollars, will not have to b>-
' repeated.
There should not be in the treas-
ury ot the siiite more money ot any
! character than is absolutely neccssn-
' ry to meet the current demands on
! an economical basis.
J To permit funds lielongiug to the
common schools, university or asy-
| lums to remain in the tusury un-
productive. while the people's means
! arc lieing taken bv taxation raised to
support these institutions, is as clear
| a violation of the constitution a to
make direct levies ot larger sums
! than is required to carry on the kov-
: eminent in an economical form. To
i admit that there is more money in
the treasury than is necessary to
carry on the government in an cco-
| mimical way is to admit that the
people's servant ■> have violated the
! constitution. This, however, cannot
| always be avoided in n large and rap-
; idly growing slate like ours, but w<-
should strive to conform as near us
possible to the demands of the con-
stitution.

After the adjournment of the
| Eighteenth legislature, the executive
I received a number of letter" from
| member* of that body, inquiring
I about the attachment law, which
was asserted had been passed. As
no such bill ever reached the execu-
tive office. I deemed proper, in issu-
ing the call for the special session,
to mention the subject, that the law
might la* re-enacted.
