to invitations from many cities to ad-

were investigating this new form Of

residents, were his parents. Mayor
Rice's education was mainly secured
at the State Military Academy at Aus
tin.
His first public service was that of
public cattle and cotton weigher,
which office he held until 1896. He
resigned it to become mayor of Hous,
ton under the old form of government
and served one term.
In 1902 he was chosen county com
missioner and served for a period of
four years. He has always been a good
roads advocate and it was while serv-
ing the county that the first paved
road under the special road tax law
was constructed.

was appointed administrator of the
vast estate of his then lately deceased
uncle, William Marsh Rice. This estate
is one of millions and the bulk of it
was left as an endowment for the
Rice Institute, which is now being
built in this city and which will be
one of the noted educational institu-

so successfully carried out that it has
almost doubled in value.

HON. n. 3. RICE.
(Mayor.)

There is, perhaps, no other mayor
of city of 100000 people as we'll
known throughout the United States
as Horace Baldwin Rice, Houston's
mayor. Mayor Rice was not especially
instrumental in the framing of the
city's charter, but he has been the
factor that has proven it's success and
has made mismanaged and debt-laden
cities throughout many states "sit up
and take notice." Under his guidance
Houston has flourished as have few
other cities.
Mayor Rice has an attractive and
forceful personality and is energetic
and at all times fearless in the con-
duct of affairs along the lines of fair
ness and justice.
He Is native born Houstonian, his
parents having been among the early
settlers and history makers of this
city and county. He is still a young

In the promotion and building of the

Father of the Commission" is
term that has been widely and aptlv
applied to j. Z. CASTOR, former finance
commissioner and MAYOR pro fem for
the city of Houston. His service has
been of the most valuable and distin.
gulshed character in making the citv
government the model that if now is
Mr.. CASTOR made the first speech in
the hall of the old city council favor
ing the radical change in government
TO that of the commission. His ideas
met with favor and the great worI,
was begun. He took an active part,
and in fact the leadership, in framing
the commission charter.
Mr.. CASTOR served the city in 1902
as alderman and he came in with the
commission in 1905 and since has held
under it what is designated the most
responsible position other than that
OF mayor. He has had charge of the
citys finances and all business men
of the city know of the splendid re-
suits. Many reforms were lnaugu-
rated by Mr.. CASTOR, particularly in
the tax collection department. He
established the abstract system of tax
assessments, which resulted in the
proper taxation of every piece of real
estate in the city and the wiping out
of the vast and cumbersome "nn-
known tax roll" The tax department
was placed on a thorough business
basis and is today one of the strong
est features of the city government.
In the great work of bringing about
the building of the ship channel Com
missioner CASTOR took a most effec-
tive part. He was chairman of the
committee which visited Washington
in 1909 and, in conjunction with Hon.
Tom Ball, presented the offer of the
city and county TO raise S1.25OO0O,
providing the government would ap-
propriate like amount for the COM
pletion of the work which offer the
government accepted
City was carried out by Mr.. CASTOR as
special representative of the Mer.
chants Association of Houston. He
was one of the first advocates of the
splendid Auditorium, of which all
Houston is proud, and arranged the
means of financing its construction.
Commissioner CASTOR was horn in
Eufaula, Ala, February 2, 1854 He
received a common school and also an
academic education. He came to
Houston in 1891, 80 years ago.
