some use of that street survey
made recently by requiring all
sidewalks to conform with the
grade established. After the
work is done it is too late to do
any good and many a city has
been retarded and damaged be-
cause the grade was established
too late.

Taxing the People
State governments during the
war could render service to the na-
tion by economy^in appropriations,
keeping down expenditures to the
minimum of economy in maintain-
ing the state government, educa-
tional and penal institutions. State
and local taxes should be reduced
where possible so the people will
be able to maintain the nation in
the great crisis before it.
This the Texas legislature has
not done. From press reports it
appears that appropriations made
by the Texas legislature during the
regular and called sessions will
amount to about $25,000,000:
Salaries have been raised, new
offices created and extravagant ap-
propriations made for new intitu-
tions even though the people are
called upon by the national govern-
ment to defend their homes and
pay the enormous cost of war. It
is claimed by those who have given
close consideration to the question
that taxation in Texas will be
raised to the constitutional limit.
