READY TO GET THE FIREMEN.
Fire Boys Have Carried on Energetic
Campaign for Next Convention.

Fire Boys Have Carried on Energetic
Campaign for Next Convention.
From Wednesdays Daily. }
Chief Miller and the other men,
bers Of the Amarillo fire department
nave been carrying on an energetic
campaign for the securing OF the next
camp convention OF volunteer fire
men in Amarillo. Every department
in the state has been asked to lend
its support to the movement and
many Of these have already replied
that they are ready to accept Anna
rolls invitation for 1908.
Pictures OF the new station and Of
the fire companies have been sent
to many companies and have been
published in various papers. Across
the top of the pictures has been print
ed the legend Meet me in Amarillo,
1905" This same catch word Is
printed across the top Of the cards
which Chief Miller is having printed
for distribution at the convention at
Mckinney next week, Several of
me papers giving attention to the
affairs of the firemen have made
mention of the fact that Amarillo Is
in line for the next state convention
There is one obstacle in the way
of securing the next convention which
is yet to be reckoned with Up to
this time 1t has been customary for
the roads to give passes to regularly
accorded delegates of volunteer fire
companies. This has enabled fire
men to attend the gatherings with
out serious loss OF money Under
the law It Is impossible to secure
passes for tho men and unless some
way is devised to give the usual as
sstance the after dance will be small
at future gatherings, Flremen over
the state arc still hoping that some
dispensatlon will be made in their
favor. If this problem is satisfacto-
rily settled there Is no doubt but that
Amarillo will secure the next state
convention of the volunteer compa-
MES.

STILL DOUBT IN
TAX QUESTION
At lis Value" Instructions From Revenue
Agent Are Being VarIOuSy ObSer0d
By County Assessors
( rrom Wednegdny,s DAILY. J


The end 10 not yet to the tax rem
ditlon muddle, II the instructions OF
the state revenue agent, Captain w
J Mcdonald, carry sufficient weight
behind them to make them effective
in the case Of noncompliance with
his orders, many tax assessors are
gathering trouble for themselves now
in the tax rolls which they are COM
plotting. If the orders OF the revenue
agent are not backed up by the power
to enforce them, other tax assessors
who are performing their duty ac-
cording to the letter OF the law are
bearing the brunt Of a storm which
they did not raise,
At the meeting Of the tax asses
sors Of the state in Austin several
weeks ago, a resolution was adopt
/ ed, after much discussion, sanction
ing the orders of the revenue agent
and pledging the assessors to sub
stantlal support OF the move to have
property rendered at its value. Since
then, however many OF the asses
sors have gone on with their work as
If nothing OF the kind had happened
and have almost totally ignored the
"at the value" instructions. On the
other hand a number Of assessors set
aside the start they had made on the
tax rolls before the orders were re-
ceived from the state revenue agent
and have been making new rolls ac-
cording to the letter OF the law. There
is little uniformity in the matter,
however, and counties side by side
are in many cases at wide variance
in the matter of renditions.
One Of the most striking examples
Of the observance in one county and
the utter neglect in the other is to
be found in some of the county line
assessments in Potter and Oldham
counties. The west line OF this coun-
ty runs through surveyed sections
leaving part of the land in one coun-
ty and part in the other, Much of
| this land Is In the Canadian breaks
and has a much lower average value
than the plains land. Thus the S2.25
per acre at which the Potter county
side Of the section is rendered is a
safe estimate OF what the land would
certainly bring at cash sale. But
the Oldham county part Of the sec
ton, differing in no wise whatever
from the $2.25 land, is rendered for
the ridiculously low value of so cents
per acre.
In general the renditions in Pot
ter county this year have been made
at a good average value and what
ever the proceedings of the revenue
department may be regarding negli-
gence, the department can find no
cause for complaint at the Potter
county assessors work The state
revenue agent has repeatedly assured
the assessors that the law would be
enforced and his course in regard to
Vibrations of his instructions are be-
ing awaited with much interest.
