OLQUITT'S VETO EXPLANATION.
Governor Colquitt attempts to Just
ify his action in vetoing the appropria
tions for the A. and M. College by
- criticising the management of the col
lege, saying they had been "upending
money like pouring water In a rat
"lole." He quotes the appropriations
"ior the college for the past two years,
-quotes the enrollment, and then by a
locus pocus calculation claims the ap
propriations amount Jo $387 per stu
dent per annum. This is the same old
rgument used by Colquitt, Bralley
t al. when they were trying to con
solidate the A. and M. College with
the State University. The Governor
very adroitly brings Into his charges
against the college the appropriations
tor the Texas Experiment Stations,
which are scattered all over Texas,
and are separate and distinct In every
way, In management, control and sup
port, from the A. and M. College and
have no more right to be charged tip
to it than It would be right to charge
to the college the expenses of any
State department or State institution.
This per capita charge matter was
threshed out during the consolidation
campaign and the same charges were
brought then by Colquitt, Bralley et al.
as Colquitt now brings in justification
of his unjustifiable veto act A state
ment was issued by the authorities of
the college at that time, In which
those Items not chargeable to the col
lege, and which were not an expense
to the taxpayers of Texas, were elimi
natd, and It showed that the charge
per capita per annum, for which
money was appropriated by the State,
amounted to $175. The people of
Texas understand the proposition
thoroughly, and that they have confi
dence in the management of the col
lege and appreciate in the highest
sense the great work It is doing, was
voiced and given expression in the
overwhelming defeat of Resolution 18.
The strangest thing about Governor
Colquitt's explanation of his veto is
that he thinks it such a crime against
the taxpayers of Texas for it to cost
two or. three hundred dollars per Btu
dent per annum at the A. and M. Col
lege and the State University, and
does not say one word about the cost
per head of the State convicts per
year to the taxpayers.
The Investigation by members of
the Legislature, headed by Lieutenant
Governor Mayes himself, showed that
the cost to the State per man per
year was 1470, and this, too, in the
face of the fact that the convicts are
working for the State, working the
State's own land, and the richest
land, too, that a crow ever flew over.
The penitentiary system tColauitt's
system) Involved the State In a debt
of two million dollars In two years,

and so outrageous and preposterous
a failure was the Colquitt system that
Lieutenant Governor Mayes remarked
that It would be cheaper for the tax
payers If the State would send its
convicts on a pleasure trip around the
world rather than pursue the present
policy.
Colquitt thinks it's all right for the
State to spend four or five hundred
dollars a year to support a convict.
but thinks It an outrage to spend two
or three hundred dollars a year In the
education of ber sons. This Is not an
Idle statement, nor a statement made
through prejudice, but is proven to be
the gospel truth by the fact that he
moved heaven and earth to secure ap
propriations, bond Issues and every
other form or method of raising
money to support the penitentiaries,
but when It came to the A. and M.
College and the University drew forth
his blue pencil "a yard long" and
vetoed their appropriations, leaving
them only a pittance, and saying by
his actions, "Live on this crust or
starve."

Moran's bunch is showing up strong,

championship honors.
In the opinion of The Eagle, the
revolution now In progress in Mexico
is but a gentle zephyr compared to
the cyclone 'of bloodshed, rapine and
riot that would ensue should Felix
Diaz be elected President.
Huerta says he has no candidate for
President of Mexico. You will note.
however, Huerta does not say be will
not be a candidate himself.
The teachers of the rural schools ot
Brazos County, many of tbem local
people, others coming from various
parts of the State, are the guests of
Bryan this week during the session of
the teachers' institute. No opportunity
should be lost by our people to con
tribute to their comfort and pleasure.
Their opinions are golden, and If we
win their good opinions, the kind
things they will say of us when they
go away will bear fruit In the years
to come.
