tor OF the Gazette.


WICHITA COUNTY, TEX, Aug O.
III appears that under the lease law
those who lease the public school lands
OF Texas pay at present eight cents per
are-Inany thousand acres are under
lease at four cents per acre.
If the land is worth the value placed
upon 1t by the land board, the per cent.
paid for leasing Is two per cent. under
the eight cents ruling, and one under
the four cents leasing, per annum.
The actual settler must pay So 50 to 81
per acre for land and 5 per cent. in
terest on deferred payments; and from
the moment the purchase is made the
land Is subject to taxation, which adds
IL per cent more for school purposes,
making an annual payment of 81 per
cent, on the dollar, the actual settler
must make on the valuation of his
lands for repletion of the state school
fund,
IL is thus very clear that the actual
settler says, annually, three tines as
much on lands owned by him, for the
education of the children as the
man pays for the same
purpose on lands controlled by him
under lease. This does not seem to be
either lair or right, and when the mat.
Ter Is further considered that under
the lease system the land Ia not subject
10 taxation nor the country improved,
whereas by actual settlement the
land Is taxed and the country
improved by building houses,
opening out farms, planting or.
chards and vineyards, and raising
cotton. corn, oats, wheat, rye, barley.
nay and vegetables, and all things lse
necessary for the existence and com.
Tort of man, aud In thousand other
ways doing treble more good for the
country than the land-lease monopo.

times the per cent. per annum for the
privilege, Is something that should not

interest prompted. Let the Central

A I,and-poard Editor.

In the Houston Post Of Tuesday is
an article that appears as communi-
cation, but which was evidently In
tended by the writer 10 he used as a
contribution to the Posts editorial
page, judging from the beginning and
the ending OF the article, which read
a. follows:
The Post has insisted that the principle of
free grass, as generally understood, IL per
nicious and dangerous, In that II tends
strongly 10 communism. As before
stated. the Post does not desire 10 argue this
question. tits content 10 leave the public 70
its own conclusions.
These extracts, which the Post editor
probably overlooked and failed to erase,
suggest n suspicion that the editorial
page Of the Post Is no stranger to the
dripplngs from the tables of the land
board barons and kings. This CORE
spending editor declares, with an as
surance very familiar, that THE GA
zEI1E opposes the lease law because
the land board raised the minimum
price OF the lands to he leased, and no
doubt hopes, by impugning the mo-
tives OF others, to divert public atten-
ton from the arrogance of the land
board rings, in the political fortunes OF
two members Of which body he evinces
a wonderful personal interest.
The action OF the land board was
criticised by THE GAZETTE without
reference TO aught else than the arbi-
trary nature OF their action. In the
discussion which followed attention
was attracted TO the law creating the
board, and to that authorizing the
lease of lands, and investigation into
the expediency Of the lease law
resulted. The land board has been a
curse to West Texas. 1t has ruled
that syndicates may lease watered
sections and that actual settlers can
only purchase dry lands. The result
has been calamitous TO the growth OF
the West, and the transfer Of all
the watered lands TO corporations and
"rings, with necessarily II control of all
the dry lands lying back OF the watered
sections without cost or price to syndi
Gates and corporations and cattle
kings. All men know that immi
grants TO "A new country first take W
the watered lands and that subsequent
settlement takes up the dry lands
The land board has acted ms II II was
an agent to stop the growth of til,
West and lease out its unoccupiet
territory as pastures for the benefit o
other sections. The land board ha
been twin evil to Texas with thu
lease law and they will both go in goo'
time, with the curses of "A people for
long farewell.

complaining of AN editorial allusion In

An Arrogant Corporation.

There was detailed In our local col
umns yesterday an action that speaks
louder than words of the arrogance Of
alien corporations. The Erie Tele-
phone and Telegraph company is
doing business In Fort Worth by suf-
ferance aud not by legal authority
from the city After the wires of this
company had bodily injured two men
and interfered with the traffic of the
city an order was issued TO the COM
pany to raise its wires, so that they
would not endanger human life aud
obstruct traffic sixty days were given
the company in which to comply !;
at the expiration of this time
the company asked for six
~ days more, which was
granted; now, instead of obeying that
order or begging more time, the com
pany obtains from United States
court AN injunction restraining the
city of Fort Worth from protecting its
citizens from the danger of bodily
hurt and its traffic from obstruction.
II does not matter that this injunction
