How to Keat the Big Four

Cattlemen should by this time have
learned sufficient to know that they are
at the mercy of the "Big Four. - At
various times of late years members of
their own craft have opened fire on them.
The depreciation in the value of cattle is
not caused from over production, but in
the consolidation of all the largest
buyers. When the stOckmen of Texas
will seek to study their own interests
they will build such barrier that the
Big Four's manipulations will not have
the least effect upon them There is no
necessity for one pound of our beef to go
to Chicago or St. Louis, while we can
slaughter our own cattle at such points
as Fort Worth and Houston, and such
shipping facilities as can be had at Gal
weston Let the stockmen of Texas work
together for their own interests by CO.
operation This is the only way and q
sure way in which they can absolutely
defy the Big Four or any other organiza-
tiou CT the kind. Until this is done you
need not expect to make anything in
your business - Midland Gazette.

GRADING UP.
No Money in Inferior Grades of Cattle or
Sheep-The Danger of Prosperity.

No Money in Inferior Grades of Cattle or
Sheep-The Danger of Prosperity.
There is nothing strange about this. 1t
is about the way such things usually go.
There would be no money even now in
the class of sheep first introduced in the
West; there would be less If kept as they
were We notice that the farmers who
are making money in sheep are all grad
ing up. They have one eye on the car
cass and the other on the wool, but it is
always the right eye that studies the car
cass. Scrub sheep pay no. better now
than they ever did, and no better than
scrub cattle, or the woods breed of
hogs The increased favor in which the
shepherd and his flock are held is not due
SO much to the flock as the shepherd land
to the flock only as an exponent of the
ability of the shepherd.
The cattle industry is travelling the
same road a vast increase of scrub
cattle means decentralization in prices,
carrying down the good as well as the
bad. With market glutted with truck,
a panic seizes upon the stockman and
there is a rush to unload. Bankers, al
ways tlmid, force sales, and there is
Nothing but the wedding out by this Sc
we're but thorough method of the scrub
stock and scrub farmers until the supply
is brought within the world s demands,
and the best sells for what it is worth.
While sheep men are prosperous we hope
they will not become so conspicuously so
as to inoculate Tom, Dick and Harry
with the sheep fever and set the scrub
farmer to producing scrub sheep. The
sheep industry can stand anything else
better than sheep craze. There is
money in well-bred sheep, large enough
for mutton and producing wool that the
world needs, when in the hands of a
we'll bred farmer who understands his
business. The business has TO be learned,
as everything else is, by experience. a
few good sheep, a few acres of winter
wheat, when it succeeds, and a good
many acres of clover would make an i'm
portant diversity in the farm operations,
and put three additional pockets in the
granger's jeans. He needs them Iowa

now not far from eight thousand three hundred
millions Yet Of the tax thus assessed real
estate pays nearly ten times as much as per-
sonal property.
The consequence of this great injustice is that
the farming population, which controls ma
ioity in the Legislature and virtually the pro-
cess of assessment imposes upon the clues ana
towns large proportion of the tax on real
estate. In 1880 the assessment of real estate
in twenty-five cities and one town was one
thousand four hundred and thirty-five mill
ions, against eight hundred and ninety-four
millions for all other real estate in the State.
Deducting the valuation of town and village
property, of which no separate statement is
made, the inquirer finds that the farmers GER
tanly pay much less than third Of the tax, and
yet it is equally clear that If the enormous
amount of personal property which now escapes
taxation entirely were taxed as it ought to be,
the proportion paid by farmers would be smaller
than it is. The problem which the farmers
convention set itself to solve is not an easy
one. Under existing laws they are enabled to
counterbaance in large measure though not
wholly, the injustice done by the escape of per-
sonal property from taxation. And if the bur-
den is thrown unjuStly on real estate owners in
cities and towns, the farmers at least do not
have it to bear. But under any other plan
which they may devise, there is possibility
that, in spite of all efforts, personal property
may yet escape nearly as much as it does now
while the power of the farmers to pass along
the load to city and town property may
be much lcssened.
The true remedy, in this as in other cases is
a closer approximation to justice 1t is not an
approximation to justice to pub all taxes on the
rental value of land, as Mr.. George or Mr.. Wells
proposed. It is just, as far as ii is practically
possible, to compel personal property TO pay its
share of the cost of government, but the prac-
teal difficulties in the way Of that endeavOr are
by no means light.
