IMPORTANT STATE QUESTION.

About the biggest question with
which the next Legislature will have
to deal with is the question of taxa
tion. 1t is one question worthy the
serious thought of the best states
men and flnanciers of the state.
Without going into the proposition
of the evident unfairness of the
present system of taxation, the leg
deficit which must be met. The
present rate of taxation is INSULT
cient to meet the obligations of the
government, under the present sys-
TEN of taxation. There then arises
two questions. Can a more equit-
able system OF taxation be de-
vised? or must the rate of taxation
be increased. Everyone will pro-
test against an increased rate
There never was a time and prob.
ably never will be, when the aver
age taxpayer will not complain at
the burden of taxation. Still taxes
are necessary to conduct the ma
chinery of the government. And
they must be levied on and collected
from the citizen and the property
holder. The matter of an equitable
basis, should therefore, be the most
important question for decision.
II is not denied that our system of
taxation Is crude. Interests that
should bear part of the government
burdens are not reached by the tax
gatherer, while others are double
taxed. There is no system of ar
irving at the value of real estate,
and often lands and town lots are
valued at less than one-third their
real value. Lands of equal value
and fertility are not assessed at the
same price, and adjoining town lots
of equal value often show wide dis
crepancies on the tax assessors
rolls No question of greater vital
Importance to the whole people will
be presented to the next state legis-
lature than this one OF equitable
taxation, which behind it, means
the providing of money for main
tainIng the state government on q
cash basis. Those persons who
aspire to represent the county in
the state legislature should, there
fore, be able, broad minded, students
of economics, men capable of delv-
ing into the intricate problems pre-
sented in this question, and offering
some suggestions as to correct So
luton.
Many other questions of vast
moment will come before the next
legislature for settlement, and these
will demand the best talent of the
various counties. Select your rep
resentatives because of their ability,
rather than because of their good
fellowship. Texas will never be
what she ought to be until her best
talent enters the law making alls
of the capitol.

The Effects OF the Boil WeeviI.

Mr.. II, F. Simmons, who is here
this week visiting Mr.. and Mrs. r.
ID. Hudson, owns and operates
stores at Kerens and Workman. He
is not only a good business man,
but is a practical farmer, having
been reared on a farm. He is nat
urally close observer and he has
made close study of the farming
operations in the sections where his
stores are located. Mr.. Simmons
said this morning that during the
season of 1902 Kerens received A.
900 bales of cotton and Workman 49,
600 bales. This season Kerens has
received 1000 bales, while the ire
ceipts at Workman are only about
1900 bales. 1t will be seen from these
figures, said Mr.. Simmons, that the
receipts of the two towns in 1892
were very close. This was before
the boil weevils made their appear
ance in Limestone and Navarro
counties. The great difference in
the receipts for this season, said
Mr.. simmons, is because of the
fact that the farmers around Kerens
planted northern seed last spring,
while the Workman farmers planted
the native seed. Mr.. Simmons said
a carload Of the early maturing seed
were brought to Kerens and diatrib-
uted among the farmers of that sec
ton, and those who planted them
made double the yield of the farmers
who planted the native seed. Mr..
Simmons says that this has con-
WINGED himethat IL is better to plant
the northern seed, even IL the wee
wills do not make their appearance

MUST PROVE BURNED
GOODS WERE EXEMPT
Judge Bum Gives Judgment in Inter
esting instaiIment Case

Judge Bum yesterday gave pro-
visional judgment in favor of the Du-
luth Music company for $222.30 against
Andrew D. Anderson and the CAPITAL
Fire Insurance company, the latter as
garnishee, holding that it is necessary
to show that goods destroyed by fire
were exempt from execution before the
money collected from the insurance
companies can be held to be likewise
exempt.
The residence of Anderson was dam
aged by fire and included among the
damaged or ruined articles was a piano
on which the music company had a
claim to the amount mentioned An
derson settled his claim with the in
surance company for $500, and made
the defense in court that his loss of
exempt goods to this amount was an
offset to any possible claim of the
music company, Judge Bum holds
that Anderson must prove his assertion
and that If he cannot the amount re-
ceived from the insurance company is
subject to execution.

MANSFIELD COMING.
t5safls $500 anef1TA5
Versatile Actor WIN Produce
Two New Plays Next Week

The most interesting living actor is
next week to- come to this city. His
name is Richard Mansfield. He is the
only actor who continuously, consist
emily and generously backs his artistic
judgment with money; ne is the only
actor who permits himself to play a
wide range of parts year after year,
and in SO doing runs the risk of serious
failure. He is one Of the few actors
who knows something aside from his
trade-Ianguages music, art, politics,
men and women. Several Englishmen
of the stage have some of these ac-
complishments, but not four in this
country possess them in anything more
than a smattering degree. Mr.. Mans
field has. been objected to in many
quarters and at many times. So have
all the men who have poked their heads
above the monOtony of one age. Mr..
Mansfield has his weaknesses. He has
made his failures. Out of his weak
nesses he has fought a way to security,
and his fai1ures-he forgets them to
succeed. sl1-fo4 -@
Crowds of honest citizens go to see
players who center their energies on
one profitable piece. These crowds
call the player great and the play a
masterpiece. Sometimes the play is
for season; sometimes for two or
four: sometimes it spans a generation
When the play and the player remain
together for half dozen years or more
the couple are called venerable" and
ornament to the stage" and reliable
entertainment" and in this way they
amass great sums of money without
the expense of much effort. When the
most interesting living actor announces
his season he announces a new play.
If by scurrying over two continents he
cannot find a new play to his judg-
ments liking, he reviyeS an old one,
employs notable men and women to
help him, orders new settings, has ex-
penslvely wrought scenes built and
comes forward in novelty There
many be failure-a doubtful success.
What of it? There is something else
to be done, more money and energy to
be spent-and here we are again."
Mr.. Mansfield happily for himself
and his admirers has a new play for
this season. 1t is "Old Heidelberg" and
the praise of this new romantic dramatic
work and Of the munificent manner in
which 1T has been produced have rung
across the country since the first night
of its production. Again it reveals
Mansfield versatile actor, master Of
pictorial representation, without an
equal in drilling surging crowd of
people or tutoring q player in the de-
tails of an individual characterization
With his numerous encourage of
more than one hundred people he will
present "Old Heidelberg at the Metro
politan on Monday, June ID; Ivan the
Terrible" June ID, and Beau Drummer
June 10. Seats go on sale tomorrow

BETHEL HAS HAD
PROSPEROUS YEAR
supt. Morgan Reports Steady and
Popular Demand for Rooms

It costs $1.25 to $3.50 a week. or q
cents night, to occupy a room at the
st. Paul Bethel. But the eighty-four
single rooms and fifty double rooms
are. far too few. If there were SOC
rooms, reported Supt. David Morgan
yesterday, the Bethel, or old Grand
block, would be always filled.
The dining room at the Bethel was
SO well patronized that it was recently
enlarged at cost of $500. The free
lectures proved popular last winter, as
did the cooking classes, the sewing
classes and the mems club. The
mothers club has become the largest
in the United States, and "has a Won
derful influence upon the lives" of the
mothers.
Other prosperous apartments of the
Bethel work arr. the Sunday school, the
industrial school, where Mrs. s. S.
Eaton tells little girls how to sew; the
industrial classes, under Miss May
nard; the musical class, the employ
ment bureau and the rest room.
The work of the Bethel mission.
aries, Rev. J.. w. Martin and Miss Ma
bel Martin, was praised, and that of
the ladies auxiliary, under the guild
ance of Mrs. c. G. Higbee.
In addition to hearing the superin-
tendent'S report, the Bethel association,
which met at the Merchants National
bank, reelected, officers as follows

FEDERAL GRAND JURY
FINDS THREE BILLS
Two indictments Believed to BE
Against w. A. Allen

4 The gafnd jury for the United States
circuit court found three indictments
Yesterday and was discharged in the
afternoon having concluded it's labors.
William A. Allen, the st. Paul letter
carrier arrested Jan. Is on the charge
OF r1f11ng letters of money, is said to
have drawn two of the indictments
found yesterday by the grand Jury.
Since his arrest Allen has been at lib
erty On bail bond. While no indict-
ments were made public, it is under
stood that Allen was indicted on two
counts for his alleged offense. 1t is
expected that he will be arraigned
before Judge Lochren at the openine,
of court at 8 o'clock this morning.
The case against Samuel Levine, the
Seventh street saloon man, arrested
some months ago for selling LIQUOR
without a government license. was
presented to the grand jury yesterday,
and it is reported that Levine was also
indicted. Inasmuch as he has COM
piled with the provisions of the law,
no disposition to punish him heavily
is said to exist, and he viii possible
be permitted to go upon payment of a
minimum fine.
