BILL FOR TAXING
TEXAsSCHOOLL LAND
Some Counties Own Land In
Others and Receive All
the Revenue.

Austin, Texas, Aug. 3O-A bill which
win mean much 10 west Texas counties
viii be introduced at the regular session
of the legislature next January. This
bill will give the counties the right to
tax phblic school land owned by the
counties. There is now no state or
county tax on such land. In many in
owning it at very profitable figures, yet
the county in which it is actually sit
uated gets no revenue at all.
For instance, Washington county, one
of the richest and most substantial
counties in the state, owns thousands Of
acres Of school land in Tom Green
county, which is under lease TO ranch
men. This county has been offered
very attractive figures for the land, but
being rich and not in need of the mon
ey, refuses to sell 1t, especially in view
Of the fact the lease money brings in
q substantial income. There are num-
bers of other east and central counties
which own school land in western cOun-
ties. The proposition is to permit Tom
Green county TO assess county taxes
against the school land owned by Wash
ington county the same as it does
against an individual.
Is a just Measure.
Those backing the bill say it is man
in another county TO keep holding it
year after year, deriving good reve-
nue. from it and paying no taxes. If the
land was taxed the probabilities are
that it would be sold and thus opened
up to colonization.
In the case of Tom Green county, just
mentioned, the land owned by Washing
ton county is the ,most desirable agri-
cultural land in the county If it were
col r. 70 = ba
divided and improved. Not only would
this mean large increase in the pop
ulation of Tom Green county, but it
would also Increase the county revenue
very materially
The same conditions apply TO nearly
half the counties in the west For in
stance, there are large tracts of land
in FL PasO which are owned by east
Texas counties. Not only is this land
prOFement, but it is also withheld from
taxatio
Legislators Favor Bill.
The bill seems to be meeting with
general favor among the legislators, es-
pecially of the west. Even the legisla-
tors of the counties owning the land re-
alize the bill is a just one and has for
its purpose the building up of the
sparsely settled sections of the west
ne dU1OunI the counties would paw IN
taxes is small compared with the great
good the measure would do counties
now in need.
In the past five years school land has
advanced in value from so cents an acre
TO $40 and $50 an acre. Even some of
the counties are realizing II is no longer
profitable to hold this land where it is
only leased for ranching purposes. The
land can be sold, the money invested in
N q hoo ~
get a much larger income The coun-
ties which are holding the land are do
ing so in hopes of realizing profits from
increase in values. This increase comes
from improvements being made by az
Joining property owners, the building
of good roads, etc. That the county
owning the land should contribute
through taxes its part towards these
improvements is urged as only just.

LAGUNA COTTON PLANTERS WILL
ASSIST IN DEMONSTRATION
Great Loss of Crops Tends TO Encourage
the Construction of Dam for Con-
serVatiOn of Water

Torreon, Mex, Aug. 3O.-This years
drouth has served as a lesson 10 the
Laguna planters, that they must pro-
vide some way of having water for
their crops without having to depend
upon the rains, and as a result, the prin-
cipal land owners are considering rem
dering assistance to the government in
the construction of the enormous dam
on the Nazas river which has been
contemplated for some time.
1t is asserted that 20 days flow this
season at an opportune time would have
saved from SIS, 0eo, goo to $4,000. OO6
and that sum would go a long way to-
ward the construction Of large dam
East season there was a large over
flow, which, could it have been con-
served until this year, would have help
ed considerably And these are the
conditions which will very probably
cause some definite action to be taken.
