ANOTHER TAX VIEW.

The Silyerton Enterprise fa-
yorS the full value" plan of tax
alton as being in the interest of
the actual settler and with some
reason, 1t says:
We fail TO see the Justice in
the present taxing system in this
county y-that is the justness of
the rendition values heretofore
placed on lands We believe that
the real estate of this county
should bear the burden of taxa
ton, and when that is done there
will be more equity in the sys-
tenn. Take for instance, the case
of the nonresident land owners
who own from one section up, of
smooth Plains land, which is val
ued today at from SO to Sl5 per
acre by the owner, when it is of
fcrcd for sale, but when the as
SCISSOR comes round to get the as
scSSments it is worth only from
81 to 81 per acre.
The Enterprise wants to be
understood as opposing any such
methods. When such low valua-
tons AZ these are placed on the
land, it means that in order to
get sufficient revenue to run the
government, it must come out of
the pockets of the renters from
taxes on their implements, and
the homes and small punches of
live stock owned by the actual
settler And the resident
owner is thus practically exempt
from taxation,
There are but few non-reSi-
dent land owners doing anything
for the development of the coun-
ty. They are holding their lands
for the advance in prices which
the actual settler is placing on
them, as he, by his industry, is
developing the country, and bear
ing its burden of tax.
The non resident owners
are principally patented
lands, and at the present tax rate,
they can lease for five cents per
acre and make something out
of it.
Our theory is, to have the land
rendered in the ncighborhood of
It's value, thus forcing the owners
IF it to bear their proportion Of
the burdens Of government or
,lsc sell it to actual settlers who
will make homes on it and assist
N the development of the coun-
try"

PANHANDLE FEED TESTS.

President II. S. Bugbee of the
Panhandle Stockmen's Associa-
ton, in his annual address at
Roswell, referring to past and
present conditions, the stocllman
and farmer and their value one
to the other, among other re-
marks, said;
1t was once thought that the
only way a cattleman could sue
cced was by keeping the farmer
at distance; by holding all the
range open and depending upon
grass entirely to maintain his
stock But it is now clearly
shown that the land of the Pan
handle is capable of cultivation:
that it is we'll adapted to produce
reasonably sure crops which af-
ford available feed for stock, and
that in this way the coWman is
able to keep a class Of stock of
higher grade than ever before
and TO escape Il greater part of
the annual losses occaSioned by
hard seasons and scanty feed
which in former years made cat |
tie raising to Il considerable de !
gree a game of chance. 1t has
also made it possible to feed the
stock to Il high standard, to make
them nearly or quite ready for
the market, and increase the
quality and market value of our
product.
During the past season the
State of Texas through Prof.
Marshall of the A. &. NJ. College
conducted IA series of expert
ments trying or testing the value
of different feeds for making
beef. This being the natural
home of the kat1ir corn we were
all interested to know what would
make the best balanced ration
with it. Your President had the
honor of being called ON to assist
in this experiment. | suppose
most of YOU have already seen an
account of the results, but for
the purpose of informing those
who have not, and for the pur-
pose of making more public
record Of this test and its results

Governor Hoch Sends kilograms Re-

Governor Hoch on Friday checked

action by the receipt of the following
message:

to grant permission to carriers to es-
tablish on short notice interstate rate
referred to by you, but has absolutely
no authority under any provision OF
the law to force such action on the car

WILSON CAN RETURN.
Papers Stolen From Bank Messenger
Are Sent Back.

New York, July 6.-Inspectors Oh
the United States Guaranty company
are searching for H. j. Wilson to re-
deem him in spite of himself for VIII
son ran away from his responsibility
and let himself be classed as a bank
robber when in fact he was the one
robbed.
Wilson, described as a plain, plod-
ding man of is years, was recently
employed by the First National bank
OF No. l Wall street as a messenger.
He disappeared last Monday after
making collections aggregating a lit
tie more than $4,000. On Tuesday
the bank received a bulky envelope
containing $34,71S in checks and
drafts There was no accompanying
exclamation, but the bank soon ascer-
tanned that it was the bulk of Will
sons collections.
Then a friend received a pitiful let
ter from Wilson in which he recited
that after making his collections and
while on the street car pickpockets
had relieved him of the banks checks
and money and that, mortified with
shame and possessed with fear that
the bank officials would believe him a
thief, he had determined to disappear
until he had made up his mind just
what he ought to do.
Investigation by the bank revealed
the probable truth of Wilson's story
and also developed the fact that the
pickpocket secured $1,716 in cash.
The thief, as is often done in such
cases. had returned the checks and
drafts as they were useless to him.
Now that the truth is known the bank
officials hope Wilson will pick up
courage and return.
