Proposes n Wheel Tar.


Houston, Texas, August 11.--That every
city must have paved streets and must
keep them clean in this modern age is a
proposition that no intelligent person will
contradict. The taxpayers who are own
ers largely of real estate pay nearly all
the case is 1t not fair and reasonable that
these persons who use the streets and
create the dirt and filth should contribute
something directly to pay the cost of re-
moving it? We think every owner of
vehicle of any kind should pay a wheel
tax to the city and thus create fund to
help pay the cost of street cleaning. A
wheel tax to raise money for such a pur-
pose is more just and reasonable than is
the tax levied on occupations, for obvious
reasons. He who dances should not OBJ
Ject to helping to pay the cost of the
music" Some of our cities have levied a
wheel tax and others are considering it
as wise measure. 1t Is a subject worthy
the consideration of our city fathers
Municipal taxation is a serious problem
and should be wisely considered by those
officials charged with creating the system.
Every effort should be made to distribute
the burden equally among all the people
and to keep down the tax rate. AS we
now have it real estate carries the large
share of the load-in fact, nearly all of
it-and at the high appraisement fixed
this year the danger line is being ap-
preached. The policy of assessing prop
erty for taxation at its supposed value
or very close to it is unwise and is liable
to decrease rather than increase values
and thus kill the goose"
The city, like an Individual should live
within its means and get full value for
every dollar it spends. Keep up with the
times. Extend the city limits and grad
ually grow and increase in taxable wealth
by keeping down the tax rate and en-
couraging investments OF capital within
the city.
The prosperity Of Houston depends On
the way her affairs are managed and
every citizen is directly interested in
lending his aid and influence in bringing
about wise, economical city government,
based solely on business principles di-
vorced entirely from politics and the
ward boss Geo. l.. Porter.

since the organization Of the Anal
eania'eu copper company IN April last
with a capital of $4,000 600 and the pos
slDility OF an ultimate increase of si0U.-
100000, the price of copper has been raised
repeatedly.
Copper today Is so costly through the
operations of the trust that various con-
Germs have found 1t profitable to buy and
import Chinese copper coins and use them
Tor manufacturing purposes. They can OBJ
tain the raw material in this way cheaper
tnan by dealing with the trust. This ex-
plains why the housewife when purchasing
copper kitchen utensils has to pay 70 and
gu per cent more than she did six months
ago.
The Coal trust is one Of the few monop-
olies whose owners have failed to declare
that such combinations were for the pub
lie good.
The trust practically owns the whole OF
the anthracite coal region and fixes the
price at whatever 1t sees At. A month ago
1t ordered an increase of 25 cents a ton
and Saturday at Pittsburg an additional
advance was announced of cents ton
on nut and lump coal and of from to is
cents on slack.
This last advance was due. it was de-
clared, to the rapid rise in the iron and
steel markets within the last few weeks |
Using this as reason for further ad-
vances the consumers during the coming
winter will have to pay to the coal barons

Marketing rruit and Produce.

10 the Eultor OF Inc POst,
Katy. Texas. August 10.--I see that the
farmers of the coast country met at College
Station to discuss methods and means OF
growing fruits, vegetables, etc.. which l
think was very beneficial. But matter of
more Importance. in my estimation, would
have been the solving of the problem OF how
TO successfully market what We now raise.
Generally speaking. the growers of fruits.
melons. potatoes, ETC., are languishing from
the effects Of: First, lack of organization
second, proper methods OF sorting and pack
headed business man t; fnd way to p Toft
ably market their goods. l shall briefly no.
tice these few points
First, the farmers should combine, so they
may place car lots OF a certain grade OF pro-
duce ON the market. Unassorted lots of any
thing sell at discount; honest sorting and
packing always brings premium. Hale, the
great peach king. was very particular as to
these matters,-so much so that his brand on
box OF peaches was worth from 90 cents to
SL5O more than other brands. Notice your
California fruit, how nicely and evenly il is
packed.
The same difficulty confronted Mr.. Hale in
disposing OF his peaches that confronts the
coast country farmer In the disposition OF his
produce Mr.. Hale. finding that his peaches
would soon need marketing. went to the
different towns in a vain effort to make some
satisfactory arrangements with the commits
sion men or the grocery men to handle his
peaches. He coon found they wanted more for
handling his peaches than he would get for
raising them, SO he concluded that he would
handle his own fruit. He proceeded to rent
rooms for month or two in the different
towns and put a trusty man at each place,
with Instructions that they guarantee each
box to be just what II was represented to be,
or II 1t should prove not TO be so, to refund the
money. He told them that be would carefully
grade the fruit and mark 1t No. 1. No. 2, No.
8, and 10 price II accordingly; and invariably
mis- No. would be the first to 60.
hear you ask did It pay?" Yes, sir; he
received more than twice as much as he
would have done bad the commission men or
grocery men handled his crop. So, say
next year go In time Secure your rooms In
thu different market places. have q good.
T. usty man at each place. and handle your
own goods IL you do so. you sure will smile
at the results. A. Stockdlck.
