EouAllzINo THE TAXES.
Commissioners Court Still canvassine
Assessments and Issuing Calls.

The commissioners court is still at
work canvassing the assessments Of
Brazos county as a board OF equaliEa.
tion. with a view TO equalizing the tax
paying In Brazos county This Is the
second week they have been on the
work and the probabilities are that II
will require all the balance OF this
week to complete the task.
The Eagle man was informed by one
OF the commissioners today that they
were calling nearly everybody. Those
called will be- required to appear be-
fore the court on the, day designated
In the call and show cause why their
assessment should not be raised. The
court will be arbitrary In the mat.
ter, and II property owner can show
to the court that his property is as
sessed az a fair valuation Il will not
be raised. The object is TO SEE that
everybody bears equally the burden OF
taxation. They do not think II is right
for one man to pay taxes on his land
az $500 an acre and his neighbor
across the lane to pay at SIS an acre
Not only that but under the full
rendition law they want the .property
OF the county rendered al its actual
value as the law says must be done
BY doing this and increasing the total
assessed valuations OF the county. Il
Is the purpose OF the court to reduce
the rate so that the property owners
will not In fact pay out more money
for taxes than heretofore. The county
only needs so much money to
run Il and keep w the roads and hrid.
ges and other public work. and the
court knowing the amount needed, will
reduce the rate after the assessment
Is completed. to an amount that will
produce the required revenue.
The Eagle learns that they are call.
ing the people not only on lands and
town lots. but on merchandise. stock.
machinery and everything else.
A date viii be set early In July to
hear the complaints. or rather the ex.
plantations OF those called and from
the large number Of notices being sent
out It will require two or three weeks
to give every man a hearing.
