Here is a statement from the At
Gibson Globe that every working
newspaper man will endorse as be-
ing absolutely true: "A newspaper
is always printed in rush. There
is always something in it that should
should have been put in. 1t is some
times too quick to judge, and often
too quick to act, but, with all its
shortcomings, there is more educa-
ton in a bright, newsy, newspaper
than there is in a novel"

PILGRIMS IN THE ALTOGETHER
Mississippi Valley to Be Invaded by
New Religious Sect

Winnipeg, Man, March 6.-Ien
thousand stalwart men and fair
women, clad in the costume popular
ly supposed to have been affected by
Adam and Eve before the fall, will
form a spectacle that may shock the
eyes of the people of the Mississippi
valley this spring.
The army "llttod in innocence
and nothing else, will be composed
of the Doukhobors, the religious
fanatics who were settled in the
western Canadian provinces by the
dominion government several years
ago The leaders have announced
that the promised land lies to the
South, in the valley of the Missis-
sippi, and already preparations are
being made by the faithful for the
great pilgrimage.
Owing to the proclivities of the
Doukhobors to cast off their cloth
ing, always scant, whenever the eli
mate will allow, and to depend for
sustenance upon God and the peo-
pie through whose territory they
march, the United States authorities
will likely have much trouble in ia
ducing the fanatics to comply with
the laws of the land

A TAX ON CIVILIZATION.

Hill county taxpayers have gone
after the full rendition law like
fighting fire. Following is the text
of a call, number of typewriter
copies of which are being circulated
among the farmers of the county
for signatures:
1--WE, the undersigned democrats
and taxpayers of Hill county, here
by call a mass meeting at the court
house in Hillsboro, on Monday,
April 6, at o'clock p. M, to dis
cuss the present confscatory tax sys-
TEN, and also to agree on some man
to run for governor against the pres
ent incumbent" The theory that has
been converted into a statutory law
was the principal argument used in
the interest of the present governor
during his campaign for that office.
Politicians have way of singing
their siren songs that deceive the
people as to the real purpose and
intent, and the uniform rendition of
property at it's full value sounded
sweet and fair. But the proposition
was loaded and few of the papers
in Texas tried to put the people on
guard. When the tax measures were
up for consideration by the Thir-
tieth Legislature the same papers
sounded warning but no heed was
given and the measures We're permit
ted to become statutory law Full
rendition means that land must be
rendered at the price for which like
land has sold. 1t does not provide
for the grading of lands, nor for the
fixing of value according to the earn
ing capacity of the land taxed. 1t
must be uniform. If the valuation of
lands could be based on their capa-
city for earning then we would have
fair and impartial regulation.
Take Ellis county for instance.
There is land in this county that,
IHouSh SdltdDit dI plDU pei dCi t,
does not really earn to the holder
farthing more than lands to be
bought for less than one-third that
price in some other counties Condi-
tons of people have much to do with
fixing the values of lands, People
who can afford it would rather pay
500 per acre for lands in Ellis
county than to pay $50 per acre for
the same class of land in other coun-
ties, because in addition to buying
land of the best quality they become
associate members of the best COM
munities and are here surrounded
with a civilization that is the cost
of long years of toll. The people
make this condition, it is not a prop
erty to be taxed, but under the law
as it stands full rendition means a
tax on this very condition.

Real democracy will be in attend
ance on the Waco meeting tomor-
row and nearly every section of the
state will be represented. This con-
sidered the thought suggests itself
that the conference will afford an
opportunity for the organization of
a state Bryan club that should not
be overlooked. Organization for
Bryan would be in perfect harmony
for Bryan, in various written arti-
cles and speeches, has voiced the
sentiment which inspires the Waco
meeting.

Speaking of the rendition of prop
terprise says: Ellis county farm
ers demand uniform rendition of
property That sounds like a joke
when one knows that land in Ellis
county selling for 500 an acre is
rendered at $500 an acre, while
property in the towns in Ellis coun-
~ is rendered at from so cents to
rs cents on the dollar. The cities
and towns would like to see a uni
form rendition and a full rendition
of all property, city and county,
then the rate would be cut in two.
in Ellis county in the matter of rem
dering property for taxation than
perhaps in any other county in the
state. and when it comes 10 a ques-
ton of burden bearing the citizens
of Ellis county, in the towns and in
the country alike, are about as un-
complaining a people as you VIII
find. They have been perfectly will
ing to pay reasonable penalty for
living in the best county in Texas,
but when it comes to paying in three
or four more times as much as any
other county in the state toward
building up a large state graft fund
why it is but natural that they
should object. Full rendition is not
uniform rendition, and the full rem
dition law as it now stands on the
statute books will prove a means
by which honest farmers and bust
ness men. like those who reside and
have prof. erty in Ellis county are,
will greatly suffer.
