Things the Boy Must Learn.


When l was a boy, | had a colt once
that l was very proud of. 1t was a
jim dandy colt pretty rs a picture and
smart as a steel trap. but l waited too
long to break if, let it have It's own
way until 1t wouldn't have any other
way. and the first time l tried to ride
1t it struck off across the meadow like
delayed telegram. All my pulling
and saving and shouting didn't make
a bit of impression on him, and he
went on and on, getting faster all the
time. until he came to Il stake and rider
rail fence. Then he stuck his fore feet
In the ground and stopped. But I
didn't. just sailed on over that fence
and landed in the middle Of a black
berry patch. That blamed colt never
would let anybody ride him. But If
I'd commenced with him at the right
time he would have made one Of the
best horses that ever came Off the blue
grass. And it's the same way with a
child. Let him once get the idea fixed
In his head that what he wants he
must have and that papa and mamma
are Just overgrown servants, whose
business is to see that he gets 1t, and
it's ten chances to one that he will
never be either Il man or mouse or
long tailed rat, as the saying goes
No. my dear when John William hOi

him holler. 1t won't hurt him. On
the contrary, it's Il wise provision of
nature for the expansion and develop
ment of the lungs. And while he's
taking physical culture exercises he's
learning few things that will be val
liable to him later on. It's mighty i'm
pOrtant, it's absolutely essential. that
he gets on to the fact right now that
the world wasn't made for his amuse-
ment and that mamma and not he Is
the boss of the ranch.
That little matter settled, you'll find
the rest of the way comparatively easy,
but unless 1t is settled, and settled for
keeps, the road to Dublin won't be a
circumstance for rocks. DO you re-
member the old example of the horse
shoe nail in your arithmetic. the one
that shows the wonders of arithmetical
progression? Well, that's Just the way
the difficulty of settling that question
increases every day you postpone 1t.

In the senate.

Senator SMasterson Secured the
adoption of a resolution recalling the
Galveston causeway bill from the
governor for correction
Then, when 1t came to considering
the first bill of the day, the Senate
became involved in a controversy over
the new rules just adopted.
Santor Terrell asked for the consid-
GRAFTON of the special order, being his
bill to create a new court of civil APP
peals and locate it at Texarkana.
Senator Blatchford observed that he
believed it was Wednesday, and made
the point of order that the new rules
provide that House bills must be con-
sidered on this day.
Senator Looney thought that the
rule could be suspended by two
thirds vote of the Senate, as any 9TH
err rule, to which Senator Terrell
quickly agreed, and moved to sus-
pend the new rule and consider his
court bill.
Senator Skinner charged that much
time was lost in suspending the rules,
and asked the Senate to act in good
faith with the House

WILLIAMS Law valid.
LEGISLATIVE OR JUDICIAL DUTIES
NOT IMPOSED.
RIGHT TO ASSIST ASSESSORS
Constitution Does Not Deprive lie Ils-
Iature of the Power to Impose Like
Duties on Other Officers.

Austin, Tex Williams intangible
assets law is valid.
State Tax Board is valid. The Leg.
islature did not seek to impose leg
islatlve or judicial duties upon 1t.
The situs of the intangible assets
of railroad company can not be said
to be in each of the counties through
which its lines run.
The Constitution does not deprive
the Legislature of the power devolving
the duty upon another officer than
the County Assessor to assess prop.
erty in some special case.
The rules laid down for ascertain
ing the value of intangible property
are reasonable. (From the opinion
of the Supreme Court of Texas.)
In an opinion written by Chief Jus.
tice Gaines the Supreme Court of Tex
as Friday completely sustained the val
idlty of the Williams intangible as
sets bill. The opinion is far reaching
in that 1t declares that the status Of
the intangible assets of a railroad
can not be said to be within each
county through which the lines run;
that the Legislature has a right to de-
clare such assets a subject of taxa
ton; that the Constitution does not
place the power to assess property
solely with the Assessors elected in
each county, but the Legislature has
the power to devolve that duty upon
another officer or board in some spe-
clal case, where, as in the present
instance the County Assessors are
clearly unable to ascertain with any
reasonable degree of approximation
the value of the intangible assets OF
of the railroad company and still less
capable of making intelligently the
apportionment due to their respective
counties.
The opinion is written in the case
wherein the Missouri, Kansas & Tex
as Railway Company of Texas sought
to enjoin the members of the State
Tax Board and other officers from
proceeding under the terms OF the
act. In the lower court demurrer
to the petition was sustained. and
plaintiff declining to amend its bill.
the suit was dismissed and the de-
cree was affirmed by the Court OF
Civil Appeals.
