1t has, indeed, secured "a
very satisfactory assessment"
with excellent results in New
Zealand and beyond reasonable
doubt would produce the same
effects in Texas but there is a
vast amount of property other
than lands which should also
bear its proportion of the neces-
sary burdens of government.
But, as said in New Zealand,
land being the basis of all
wealth the beginning to get
right should perhaps start there.

SATISFACTORY ASSESSMENT

New Zealand farmers are
given the privilege of placing
their own valuation on their
farms for the purpose of taxa
ton, which some would regard
as snap were this privilege not
coupled with the right reserved
by the government to buy the
mans land any time within
twelve months of the time OF
making the assessment at 10 per
cent above the valuation placed
upon the land. This plan, it is
said, secures a very satisfactory
assessment. Farm e. Ranch.
The purpose of the New Zeal.
and government in making this
law was to cut down the specu-
lator and incidently reduce the
acreage held by the big ranchers
in the arabic districts. The
option of the government to
purchase extends only to the
excess of acres over the home
stead. This law has not only
been found TO work we'll in get
ting at the true value of the
land for tax purposes but it has

NEW CATTLE MARKETS.

The entrance of "the man
with the hoe and the sheep
owner into the northwestern
ranges and the closing up of the
profitable fields in "the terrific.
ry" has caused progressive cat
tlemen to turn their eyes in
other directions seeking other
markets for the products of the
ranch and stock farm.
For those this side of "the
line new fields of great promise
are being opened up in the corn
states. Not only the states this
side of the great ''father of
waters but those beyond; Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and others are
awakening to the fact that there
is money, good money, in the
Texas bred calf and yearling
and the feeders of those states
are ready to pay living prices
for the right kind of stuff. What
they want is we'll bred calves or
yearlings that have been kept
in thriving condition from birth

ply. Even this season, with the
bottom knocked out OF COW
prices almost everywhere, these
well bred and we'll fed calves

Plains raised beef breeds have |
found ready market at a good |
figure. There is money in this
market now and it is barely |
opened up-it will get better

HEAVY PENALTIES
 FOR THE MANAGERS
ATLANTA AND NEW ORLEANS WILL BE PUNISHED FOR DIs- GRACEFUL PRocEEDINes ON CRESCENT CITY DIAMOND.

Little Rock, Ark, September 7.-(Spe- ciaI )-Atlanta and New Orleans will suf- fer heavy penalties for todays farce en- acted on the New Orleans diamond in which Powell took his team off the field and refused to finish the game after which money was given back to all who asked, an alleged exhibition game being played for the benefit of those who re- mained. When President Kavanaugh learned tonight of the affair he said:
 "As soon as receive official confirma- tion of the newspaper reports Manager Powell of Atlanta will be fined $100 for taking his team off the field and forfeit the game. Then both Powell and the New Orleans manager will be fined $100 for playing a game not scheduled. The forfeit of the first game to New Orleans will stand and the alleged exhibition game will be thrown out and not counted In the standing. As a further penalty for taking his team off the field the At lanta manager will not be allowed to par ticipate In the division of today's Labor day receipts pool.''
 The present outlook is that the talk ing of his team off the field will cost Manager Powell not less than $500. for in addition to the $200 fines he will lose his share of the receipts which would have been about $400. President Kavanaugh says the cap matter will cut no figure in the case, for the game should have been played under protest.

 ANOTHER TRIAL
BROUGHT FROM LEXINGTON TO CYNTHlANA TO FACE lNDiCT- MENT FOR MURDER OF JAMES cocKRELL.

Cynthiana, September 7.-Curtis Jett. who was found guilty of the assassination of J. B. Marclm and sentenced to life im- prisonment last month, was brought here today from Lexington, where he has been confined pending an appeal. Tomorrow will begin the trial of Jett. charged with the assassination of James Cockrell, for merly town marshal at Jackson. Ky.
 There is inference of opinion among attorneys whether Jett who stands con- victed of murder In the first degree and has hanging over him a life sentence, can be tried on another charge of murder The commonwealth declares Its position is good and Is ready to proceed with the trial. The defense will probably ask for change of venue. 1t is believed tonight that Judge Osborne will order the trial to proceed
 About one hundred witnesses will be examined Commonwealth Attorney Byrd says the state has stronger case than 1t had in the trial of Jett and White for the assassination of Marcum. No state troops will be present
