TIE KNOCKER.

When earth's last picture is
painted and aIlthe knockers are elm
mated from the canvass, it will be a
better world even if the end OF

STATE TAX ROLLS ARE
ALMOST ALL TURNED IN.

Austin, Texas, Oct I5.-Nearly
all of the tax rolls are in and the as
sessed values will be practically the
same as given for the preliminary es-
Inmates used by the State Automatic
Tax Board. The comptroller hopes
to have all county tax rolls in and
audited before Nov. 1. With that
idea in view he has hurried the as
SCISSORS as much as possible.
Ii is expected that the grand total
OF the actual rolls will slightly ex-
coed that made up from the esti-
mates filed before Aug. 1. The au-
tomato tax law requires the esti-
mates to be made in order that the
board can fix the ad yalorem school
tax rates. 1t was done and the regu-
lar rolls are following the estimates
