The Fiscal Systems Other Half

Under the system taxation provided by the
legislature the value of taxable property in this
state VIII be increased two and third times
over the value Of year ago That is, sys-
tam alone would make such increase. There
should be a further increase from the natural
growth property values 50 that the taxable val
should be least one-haIf times as
great as year ago
\ system Of taxation is only half of fiscal

money for public purposes is nearly as import

TEXAS LAND IN K

Two thirds or 81 per cent OF the total land
area of Texas is in farms and ranches according
to the report of the Thirteenth Federal Census
just issued. The percentage varies widely in diff
ferent counties, bu, the most common proportions
is from 90 to 80 per cent, the proportion in %
of the 249 counties are shown to have less than
90 per cent of their land in farms. Most OF these
are on or near the boundaries Of the State p%articu-
larly in the southeastern part.
Between 1900 and 1910 there was an increase
of $50 per cent in the number of farms in Texas.
as compared with an increase of 27.8 per cent in
population. During the decade the acreage re-
ported as improved increased 800 per cent, The
increase in the number Of farms and the decrease
in farm acreage resulted in lower average size Of
farms. which was 200. in 1910, as compared with
3572 acres in 1000.
Fifty six counties are reported as having from
80 to 90 per cent of their land in farms, Scattered
over the State there are as many as ~ counties
which have more than 90 per cent of their land in
farms and in q of these the proportions are from
90 to 95 per cent, and in an equal number 95 per
cent, and over.

PLEASANT DUTIES

One of the pleasant duties of the incoming
administration will be to open the resources of
Alaska to human use, says the Chicago Journal.
Alaska is larger than Denmark. Sweden.
Norway and Finland put together. 1t is about
the same distance from the North Pole as those
countries. Much of it has a similar climate. Prob
ably 1t rs inferior in agricultural resources to the
Scandinavian States; but Alaska has a wealth of
coal, copper and gold. Yet the total population
os Alaska at the last census was less than o5. 900
and its growth is almost nil.
The reason is plain. Alaskan resources have
been conserved after the custom of Pinchot.
People are not allowed to dig coal in Alaska. nor
to cut timber save on exacting conditions. Good
coal could be produced on the ground for 50 or
- a ton. But the few stamp mills and saw mills
which manage to run bring in poor coal from
British Columbia, at a cost of SIC per ton at tide
water and $50 per ton in the interior. One Alask-
an railroad whose ties are laid on coal has to burn
wood IN its engines, for fear the sacred principle
OF conservation" should be violated.
If the Wilson administration can open Alaska
to actual use without giving it over to trusts. the
country in general, and the Pacific States in par
tioular will owe President Wilson a big vote OF
thanks.

THE VALUE OF BEAUTY.

So many cities in this country are being influ-
enced by the modern truism that beauty and the
highest degree OF utlitaranism are Inseparable that
St. Joseph is running a certain degree OF risk in not
being more alive to the urgent need OF realizing
the doctrine at home. says the ST. Joseph Gazette.
We are so content to read OF extensive municipal
improvem ,nts wherein beauty and utility are mex
,ricably compounded to the magnifying Of both in
the cities Of England and Germany and less num-
erously in proportion in the eastern cities OF the
United States without seeming to comprehend that
the same principle should be locally applied. that
we are liable to get behind the times. Is there any
one in the city who can say, with authority and
knowledge, that ST. Joseph is not already losing
out to an extent in this regard}

prinoiple-the highest degree OF utilitarianism and
beauty not only harmonic. but their association
is inevitable and necessary. 1t is the principle
that asserts itself when a man dresses to cores
pond with his occupation. whatever it is. Other
things being equal, the store with the prettiest fac
ade and the brightest dressed windows and clean,
est steps and aisles is the one that is patronized
the best.

LONDON PRAISES W|LSOl
CHRONICLE LINKS NAME WITH
 THAT OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Graphic Says He Succeeded Where Taft and Roosevelt Failed-Times
 Publishes Encomiums.

London, Oct. 6.-The English news. papers are devoting much space to the new Underwood-S Simmons tariff law. The Glasgow Herald prints a supplement containing the complete text of the bill.
 The London Chronicle says: The president has fought for and won a policy of genuine fiscal reform. It marks an epoch in the economic and political history of the United States. The nation. boldly asserting its mas tery over the ur@lean interests that were nearly throttling it, has made an irreparable breach in the mon. strous tariff wall which they had reared. For President Wilson the passage of the new tariff is a great personal triumph. No more remark. able man has reigued In the White House since Abraham Lincoln"
 "The most striking fact about the new American tariff" says the Daily Graphic, lis the extraordinary per sonal triumph it constitutes for Presi- dent Wilson. Not an experienced politician-he was a university pro. lessor. unfamiliar with the wiles of Washington-yet he succeeded where Roosevelt and Taft failed The se- cret of his success was his own sin gle-mindedness of purpose
 The Times editorially says: "The Underwood act is not in intention or its framers aimed at and what they accomplished Is a wide and whole some reduction of that insensate pro- tectionism which led Chamberlain to describe the American tariff as a ronstrosity he would never think of urging Great Britain to accept"
