The recent decision OF the supreme
court with regard to taxation has cre-
ated not a little agitation in many OF the
counties OF tho state, a fact which is
evidenced by the number OF letters tho
attorney general is receiving asking
for some solution Of the difficulty into
which the commissioners and county
and township assessors have been
plunged by the ruling Of the court that
railroads can not be compelled TO pay a
full valuation assessment while private
individuals pay on a one-third or one.
fourth valuation. The present rate Of tax
alton for state taxes is fixed by tho legis-
lature. The county commissioners agree
upon the valuation OF property as
basis from which the assessor shall make
his returns. In this manner certain
amount ofrevenue is secured in the way
OF state taxes for state purposes. The
amount now required is over million
dollars. The adjustment OF the real and
personal property tax to the basis OF
the railroad assessment would bring the
amount up to over three millions OF
dollars, which far exceeds the demand
and at the same time makes a high rate
OF taxation for the people. II the rail-
road assessment were placedon the same
basis as that of other property, from 80
to 70 per cent Of actual value, the re-
turns in the state taxes would be made.

RECESS PROPOSITION.
Claim Made That 1t Is An Ad-
ministration Measure.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 14.-The
contest over the resolution to
take a thirty days recess is the
chief topic of conversation here
tonight. The fight is a hot one
and the issue is in doubt.
The senators are supposed to
stand now: For the bill-Greer,
Bailey, Lewis, McComb, Beall,
Wood, Whitaker, Presler, Rog-
ers, Goss, Tips, Agnew. OPP
posed-Simpson, Colquitt, Dib-
rell, Lawhorn, Alice, Steele,
Mckinney, Dixon, Shelburne,
Harrison, Crowley, Darwin,
Dean. As it now stands there
is a majority Of one against the
proposition, with six members
absent and doubtful.
The proposition is said to
have Governor Culberson's sane
ton and approval and Senator
Greer today made strong ap-
peal for it on the ground of its
being an administration meas
ure, but it is doubtful if that
lends it any strength, as SEN
ators are acting mostly on their
own Judgment. The resolution
will mostly likely be defeated
in the senate and if not will
almost surely meet death in the
house.

cry.
This Is the Latest Achievement
of an Age Of Invention.

Paper gloves and hosiery are
named as among the very latest
novelties. Stockings which shall
sell at s cents a pair are pro-
posed. In fact, the experiment
of making paper stockings has
been going on for several
months and the party engaged
therein believes that pretty
mittens or gloves would possess
advantages in their season.
The goods are light and airy
and very comfortable in sum
mer.
When finished and dyed their
appearance is similar to ordi-
nary fabric goods. The knitting
is from paper yarns. The paper
yarns are made pretty much
after the plan Of making COM
mon paper twines, except that
that former are put through GER
tain special processes. The
principle is that of making a
sort of a nap on the yarns.
This is done automatically.
Ordinary paper tnine or yarn
is too smooth, bat a good
gigging up gives the yarn & nap
and this imparts softness. After
the knitting has been done the
goods are placed in a sizing
bath made from potato starch
and tallow which ilnparts solid
ly and durability to the tex
ture.

LAND OFFICE RULES.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 15.-The
commissioner of the general
land Office has adopted a chapt-
er of rules for the government
of the land Office in accordance
with the law, by which he
proposes hereafter to take care
of the files and records of the
office, and also to enable the
employees Of that office to work
for the state and not for private
individuals without pay, as has
been too much the case here
tofore. The law provides how
these papers are to be taken
care of, and also provides a fee
bill which, if strictly enforced,
will largely increase the public
revenues. He proposes to en-
force the law to the strict letter
and thus put the Office upon
strict business principles. He
said to-day that these rules may
be of some inconvenience to
local parties, for which he feels,
of course, much sympathy, but
he is determined to enforce the
law in the interest Of the entire
people Of Texas. He also said
that if the people would get to
understand that he was the
general land commissioner of
the state and was paid by the
people of the state to do their
business, and had a force of
employees here paid by the
people also, that they could
save much private expense by
writing direct to him, and it
would always be promptly at
