bacon ought to have his mental condition

The Colorado citizen says regarding the
battle OF the bales:
The Houston Post predicts that 1.-THE new
round bale trust will Just about be ready to
run up against the State antitrust law next
year. Just at present the round bale people
appear To be making things excessively lively
In Texas.
Things are certainly lively in that line
Every few days some one invents or claims
to have invented a process superior to the
ones now in operation and which will be
sold outright to purchasers, thus avoiding any
trust feature. Meantime, the early birds are
after the worm.
The Livingston Local calls attention to It's
tax dodgers as follows:
Livingston is one town where no one do
sires 10 sell property. The most available
building lots are owned by men who are hold
ing for n rise and as they put the property In
nj u very low price TO the tax assessor the
taxes do not amount to anything. Land that
rs held Mt from 800 to $3.50 per acre is taxed
Ut about one-fourth that sum. That Is not
right
Fact OF the matter is that every town in
Texas is in the same boat. There are those
in every city who own valuable property which
they will neither improve themselves nor sell
TO any one who would. And they're always
nowling about being taxed too much

The country press as a general thing is very
liberal in giving unlimited FREQ space 10
church work and charitable enterprises yet
but Few people seem TO realize that news
paper space Is the same az money. The news
paper people do their share for public enter
lrises.
Millions of dollars would not pay for the
space and cost OF composition that the press
OF the country devotes freely for the good OF
the community. Aud still they cuss the
papers.
