AlBTIN Texas. January 18. Sentl
ment against suspension of penalties for
the non-payment of taxes by February
Is decidedly stronger than when the see
slon opened and It Is not Improbable
there Is any extension of the time for
pay men r without penalties it will not be
to Jsnuary 1. 191$. nor to October 1
this yesr. There may be an extension of
bu or so flaj-s but even that Is by no
means certain.
The situation pictured the other dav bv
Senator Bee of counties issuing warrants
ior teacners and other salaries to be
hawked and peddled about and sold for
what they will bring is not relished by
the counties which are on a cash basis
and wish to stay there. In the view of
Senator Bee the extension of time for
tax payments to the close of the year
will bring evils greater than those now
due to the financial stress. He declines
to believe that corporations and other
large taxpayers will become philan-
thropists and pour their money into the
btate and county treasuries at once
while other taxpayers have yet several
months In which to make payments. He
even suggests that If a long extension Is
granted there will be stress of wider
scope and more Injurious results than If
tne payment or taxes is insisted on
provided by law.
The hill Is In tha hands of a sub-com
mittee for the draftlnar of a new measure
that will meet the senator's objections
and grant the relief necessary under
present conditions. That there will be a
lively fight over It. In whatever form
it makes lta appearance In the senate is
assured. The same comment is true of
the situation In the house where strong
opposition io ine extension measures ai-yi
ready has developed. I

applauding the stand taken by Senator
Bee of Bexar In opposition to memorlallx
lng congress to approve such pensions.
Senators Lattimore and McNealus
however refuse to yield to the view that
It will be humiliating upon the part of
the old Confederate to accept this bounty
from the government wnich he fought to
overthrow. They hold that sectional lines
have been blotted out that after a lapse
of half a century the spirit or universal
good will and patriotism prevails and the
gallant services of the soldiers of the
South are aa much entitled to recognition
bv the federal government as are the
services of the men who wore the blue.
Thev do not subscribe to Senator Bee s
view that to appeal thus for federal pen-
sions will make mendicants of the heroes
of the Confederacy pleading for the
grudging alms of Maine Vermont and
those other far Northern States where
memories of the war still are confined to
tha deeds of the wearers of the blue and
tha causes that led to the mightiest
struggle ever known In the world s hls-
tnrr.
At any rate there will be patriotic
speeches and a number of them. Sena
tor Lattlmore Is prepared to support his
resolution with vigor and he will have
the co-operation of senator Mo.N.aius
and some others. Senator Bee Senator
McGregor and othera will assail the reso-
lution not alone on sentimental but on
legal grounds. They will appeal to State
pride to the pride of the sons of the
South tn the glorious history and splendid
performances of the Confederate armies
under dauntless leaders whose names are

COMMENDED OIXON'8
BILL ON DRAINAGE DISTRICTS.
Representative Sam H. Dixon of Har
ris county Is in receipt of a letter from
County Clerk Oeorge Jones of Houston
ommendlng Mr. Dixon's bill regulating
drainage districts and providing for the
handling of the financial affairs of such
itrlrts by the county auditor of the
county in which they are located. Other
letters of approval of this measure have
been received both by Mr. Dixon and by
Senator Louis H. Bailey of Harris coun-
ty who has Introduced a like measure in
the upper house.
in this connection the objections to the
present method of financing drainage
istrtcts issuing and disposing of bonds
and securities are told in a letter re-
ceived by Mr. Dixon from a lawyer who
has had large experience In these mat-
ters and speaks by the card. This law-
yer who writes from Brazoria county
calls attention to a phase of the present
law which he says works a hardship and
forces an evasion of the law on the part
of those who are responsible for the
handling of bonds under it.
"The limit of interest which can be
legally provided." the writer says "in
road bonds Is 6 1-2 per cent semi-an
nual while drainage bonds are limited to
& per cent. The same character of bonds
In other States bear 6 per cent. Money
is worth In the market what the market
Justifies and If securities of this class
are good at 6 per cent they must be dis-
counted. The law prohibits this snd it
hits become necessary In every drainage
district organized In Texas to award the
contract and then make the contractor
handle the bonds. The contractors being
aware or this condition add enough to
their bids to cover the discount and take
the bonds having already arranged with
a bond dealer to take them off Ills'
hands. In other words the highest fit;
ure any drainage bonds Issued in Texas
ever has brought was 92. 6 per cent of
tnelr race these being In Brazoria coun
ty. and sold by the contractors. They
paid a Dond tlrm a on each thousand
and the bond firm then paid Into the
treasurer par and accrued interest on the
bonds and took them. This meets the
requirement of the law and In man v
cases the officers handling the matter do
not know that they are being discounted
by the contractor.
NO MEANS TO TELL
VALUE OF BONDS.
"Under these conditions It Is impossi
ble for any to know what discount the
bonds are standing because one has no
idea what would have been bid if cash
had been in sight. In the second place
only contractors who are strong finan
cially to handle these bonds can safely
enter into competition for tne work.
All that is said of drainage bonds ap
plies with ueual force to road bonds.
Only one issue of road bonds actually has
beeri sold in the open market for par and
accrued interest tnis being Brazoria No.
vihlrh sold par accrued Interest and
premium of one-eighth. of 1 per cent.
these are nearly all district securi
ties and district securities are not con
sidered as good by the Investor as county
securities put in tne case or Marns coun
ty. you know as I know that it became
necessary to let that $1000000 bond issue
go at l-z and then some trimmings off
or tnat. it was simply a condition pro
duced by the law which fixed the maxi
mum Interest rate at a figure less than
the market fixed It at. If you have
6 per cent bond It will sell for a premium.
wnue your a 1-2 or t per cent must be
discounted and in the Harris county
case with 1114000000 of taxable values
Dehtnd it the Donas Drought only 90 1-2.'
l ne author or tne letter nere quoted
says ne oeneves tne rate or interest
should be Increased to 6 per cent. He
says the cash of the taxpayers Is being
wasted under the present law and it Is
imperative that some relief be given.
as a suggestion in this direction he
favors issuing bonds maturing In aerial
annual installments while the law now
only gives the commissioners courts au-
thority to issue bonds maturing In 20 to
40 years. In the serial Issue plan each
bond in the series should have a definite
maturity date and should be due abso-
lutely in serial annual Installments tn
their numerical order In order that by
reading tne Don a an investor can tell ex
actly when he will get hla money and
he will pay more for it In the second
place by paying off bonds each year In-
stead of permitting a sinking fund (cor
ruption fund the author of the latter calls
It) to accumulate protects the taxpayer
more than an tne limitations on interest
rate that can be passed.
Every thousand dollars paid" he
says "on the basis of 6 1-2 per cent bonds
reduces the Interest which the taxpayer
must pay 155. If the money is held in
depositories at 2 per cent the district has
lost 3 1-2 per cent each year and la
risking the loss of much of its slnklne-
fund through some fool order of some In-
competent commissioners court.
ah or the drainage bonds I have
handled mature serially In annnal In-
stallments and in many of my districts
the decrease in Interest Is now more than
paving a 11000 bond ach year. In a few
years It will meet two of them. I want
the privilege or Issuing road bonds the
same way. '
The sensibilities of several tax collec

Mr. Dixon one collector complains
the bill Ia m reflection on the honesty
and efficiency of the collector. Mr. Dixon
cites a great number of cases where tax-
payers have been forced to pay taxes
a second time because of failure on the
part of the collector promptly to write up
the stubs In his receipt book. He also
says that there have been a number of
defalcations on ths part of tax collectors
whose accounts snd books were left In
such a tangled shape that taxpayers were
compelled to pay a second time havInK
lost their own receipts and there being no
record of payment having been made.
Such a condition hs says will be reme-
died by the passage of his bill. Ho has
applied to the comptroller for a state-
ment of the number of cases of default-
ing tax collectors In the last 10 years
and the amount of shortage In each case.
With those statistics he will be prepared
to show the need for such a law as he
proposes
