other one is selling $4,000 worth of
per cent ten-year bonds, insuring the
building of splendid dormitory and
workshop at Allen Academy, which
means an added attendance at that
school of seventy-fve or one hundred
boys, or an added resource of from
$250,000 to $350,0000 annually to our
commercial channels. There is no
doubt of the final success of both en-
terprises, but these sums should be
raised in this town in one day.
The newspaper of this city is a pow
erful factor in the herculean task Of
creating enthusiasm which is a neces-
sary factor in the success of any en-
terprise. 1t has constantly been i'm
proved and enlarged, and the CONNER
cial Club is now preparing a campaign
for the purpose of enlarging the scope
OF it's usefulness by increasing its
readers and territory. 1t is the duty
of every loyal citizen to support it.
Bryan is the logical point for a
great city, halfway between Dallas
and Houston, a rich fertile soil, a
tnrifty citizenship, a great school Gen.
ter, the best water in this entire Sec
ton and an ample supply, as cheap
power as can be had in any city of
the South, and no malaria, she must
grow. Bryan's development into a
great city is going to be accomplished
by Bryan people, by the use of Bryan
brains, Bryan money, Bryan energy,
Bryan faith, Bryan backbone; and,

On to the Brazos.
Houston's Taxing Problem.

The city of Houston is making a
sincere effort to solve tax problems
and to equalize tax burdens.
The adoption of the Somers system
was a step in the right direction, ex.
cept as originally planned the Somers
system was made to apply to only one
class of property.
Land holdings were taxed approx
mately at their market value, while
all other classes of property were
taxed at only 20 to so per cent Of ac-
tual value. This meant wrong taxa
ton, and therefore illegal taxation,
and, if enforced, would very likely
have resulted in lawsuits and general
dissatisfaction.
The constitution of Texas guaran-
tees every citizen equal taxation, and
no city has the legal right to discrim-
mate against one class of property or
in favor of another.
Under the revised plan, as adopted
by the city commissioner Tuesday, tax.
alton will be equalized throughout the
city.
The Somers system of land valua-
lions will be retained, but there will
be reduction of 30 per cent in the
valuations first placed on land. This
decrease in land assessments will ap.
ply to every citizen alike, whether the
owner of lot worth $500 or one worth
$50, 900.
There will be no discrimination and
no favoritism. At the same time, the
man who owns no land, but who owns
machinery, merchandise, wagons, au.
tomobiles, or any other class of prop
erty, will be made to pay his pro rata
of taxes.
The land will still furnish the great
er part of the city's tax revenues, as
land assessments will represent prac.
tically two-thirds of the entire valua-
tons.
1t has cost the city of Houston some.
thing like 100000 to install the Son.
ers system, and it will perhaps be
worth the investment should it sue
coed in equalizing the citys tax as
sessments.
The new rate is s1.40 per 800 val.
uation-the lowest tax rate of any
large city in the state.
All classes of property will be as
sessed alike, all taxes will be equal
lied as far as possible and every tax
payer, from the smallest to the heav-
lest, will pay his share of the tax

There is strong sentiment devel-
oping in Bryan, and especially in the
Commercial Club, to make change
of some kind in the conduct of the
city government The idea prevails
that there is too much looseness in
the management of the city's affairs,
that there is neither heads nor tails
to anything and an utter lack of any
clear-cut, well-directed business pol
icy. Some favor the commission form
of government, while others, including
Mayor Maloney, favor the general
manager plan. Have one competent
man to give his entire time to the
city business, let his ruling be final
on everything, and apply the same
business rules to the city government
that are applied to the banks or any
other business enterprise of the city.

selves to victory. II he is nominated

he is not nominated he will probably
run independent, and that will give

The pOolers of the Burley
Society have often asked for a
financial statement but got none.
In the case on trial before the
Federal Court at Cincinnati, the
court ordered the books produced;
according to he evidence adduced
at the trial, one man was paid a
thousand dollars a month for
making speeches, two got five
hundred each, and twenty
five got two hundred and fftv
each per mouth. This with the
big salary paid Lebus, Miss Lloyd
and an army of clerks and
stenographers, shows where
much of the money went that
the growers should have received

that the Democrats would make
