To Sell Texas Lands.
70 the Editor of The Post.

To the Editor of The Post.
Black Jack Springs, Texas, April s.
John Howard immigration passenger
agent, speaking to a reporter of The Post,
showed him that 1t was not enough that
they were trying to induce people from
the old States to settle in this State to
increase the volume of business. but that
the land owners had to do their part and
sell land at reasonable prices
1t seems that there is a great deal OF
truth in this. Hard working, wealth
creating people are needed-as We some
times say, money making and money
spending people When the land is toe
high few will buy and those who do Won
have any money left to improve. If few
succeed in improving their land their land
tax is increased because it is called i'm
proved. ANA when they exchange their
goods they must pay all the taxes that can
be shifted to them as consumers. 1t Is
. as If we had made our laws to prevent
men from dong anything useful Would
1t not be better to do as New zealand, &c
tax all other things less and to increase
the tax on land. values without taking
any notice of buildings and improve
ments? This kind of tax has made the
land owners more anxious TO sell at rea-
sonable prices and has brought more set
tiers and more profitable bushes to New
Zealand. p. Romberg

Sport.

Terry McGovern, the wonderful, met hln
match Tuesday night in Tommie White.
OF course, the latter had the advantage of
few pounds in weight, something which
counts in battle between the little fell
lows, but McGovern's enthusiastic admir-
ers expected him to dispose of White as
easily as he had Of his other rivals. They
were. disappointed, as at the end OF six
rounds of hard and bloody fighting. White
was strong on his feet, and, according 10
a prior agreement, no decision was
given. Ali through the fight, McGovern
had the advantage. having White groggy
at times. but the latter recuperated rapid
| ly, and in the last round had decided ad-
vantage. He met McGovern's Wild rushes,
jabbed his head back at will and the
Brooklyn terror was fighting wildly ia a
last desperate effort to keep his record
clear with another knockout when the bell
rang.

Ohio is considering bit Of legislation
that may there do away with what some
theater- goers have at times found to be
annoying If not worse. The proposed
enactment takes it for granted that In
cases of ticket speculation there is more or
less of an agreement between somebody
in the box Office and the spectators. In
fact, the terms Of this bill, which pro-
vldes q penalty OF from $50 TO 800 against
theater proprietora or managers, and from
$25 to $50 only against the outside parties,
would lead to the inference that those in
the box Office are greater offenders IN thla
matter than the sellers of the tickets

Home is woman's domain-he her
