Complaints are heard In Waco that
real estate is held, in many instances,
at figures three, four and even five
times as great as the figures placed
on the same property by owners or
agents when rendering 1t for taxation.
1t does seem somewhat inconsistent
that a piece of realty assessed at say,
$1,000, should be held for selling pur-
poses at $40, 900. or even $4,000 of $l2.-
900. There is palpable oversight or
favoritism somewhere when such cases
can be cited.
Tile small taxpayer, as a rule, comes
mighty near paying full taxes on his
humble or modest possessions. The
scene OF a richer man getting special
favors in the way of exemptions Is
not calculated to make a contented and
therefore a better citizen of the small
taxpayer. In fact. it makes OF him
"calamity clacker." with a penchant
for Popullsm and exc the widest
schemes OF government and regulation
as propounded by the Populists. II he
loses his property he is converted into
1T material for a socialist-if not an
anarchist Waco is not the only city
however, where mutterings are heard
about excessive and unequal taxation.
The remedy is within the reach of the
community thus affected-fearless, i'm
partial officials to equalize and fix tax
rates

Waco did not take final action any
too soon in the matter Of instructing

proceed with the work of rebuilding
the beautiful ediflce burned in jan
uary. Thine and tide walt for no
manor community either-and while
1t was not believed Waco would prove
Indifferent 10 the strong considerations
impelling rebuilding OF her burned Pal
ace, II was manifest that what to be
done should be done quickly, else the
Palace could not be reared in time for
a show this year Physical obstacles
would have stood in the way, even
with the money plentiful. There is
time-nOne to waste. yet enough II
utilized industrlously-to re-erect the
palace and decorate the interior
by October. and the decisive announce
ment of rebuilding will be received with
satisfaction throughout the state and
set down to Waco's credit as a progress
sive and not to be daunted city. Last
years exposition was very helpful to
the thrifty city on the Brazos. What is
more, 1t was helpful to Texas in gem
eral--as the Dallas fair is, as our Semi
Centennial will be. All honor to Waco
then, and good luck and success to
her too, says the Gazette, aud so say

New York, March 15.--One OF the
leading bullion brokers in this city,
speaking OF the recent advance In sill
yer, said to the Associated Press Wall
street reporter that 1t was due to specu-
lative buying in Londcn, which market
governs the price OF the metal here.
The chief factor In the rise was the
expectation that peace would be made
between china and Japan, which would
increase the demand for silver, indie
pendent OF any war indemnity that
might be called for, by opening up the
Chinese trade to the world
The output Of silver had decreased
materially within the past two years,
and that fact. he stated. should be
taken into consideration In passing any
calculations as to the present offerings
Of silver compared with date pre-
yious to two years ago.
