Success in Houston, Texas
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
The fact that the tax rate in Alb.
erdeen is less than in Houuiam
should mislead no one. Figures on
paper are meaningless and can be
turned and twisted to serve almost
any purpose. If an annual issue of
bonds must be made to meet excess
expenditures there can be little sat
isfaction in gloating over a small diff
ference in the tax rate. In fact it
were better to pay the Hoquiam rate
and know that it paid the bill in
full than the Aberdeen rate, if a bond
issue is required at the end of the
year to meet the deficiency. as has
been so ably stated in your articles
on commission form of government.
1t takes commissioners constantly
on the job to keep city expenditures
within the prescribed limits. No man
or set of men serving the city one
or two hours week can approach
in efficiency and results a set of men
giving the city's business their atten-
tion "a hours day, six days week.
The difference is self evident, it
seems foolish to attempt to make it
clearer than what 1t must be to any
body that knows the difference be.
tween 1853 hours and one or two hours
week.
Within the next six months every
first class city in the state will fol-
low the lead set by SpoH 4 Tues.
day and adopt the modsfiltayl lNem.
With hundreds of millions of dollars
in property at stake, these wide.
awake cities are setting the pace ev-
cry progressive town must sooner or
later follow. The Chinese wall of
prejudice, which a comparatively few
reactionaries have succeeded in plac-
ing around Aberdeen will not much
longer withstand the onslaught of
logic, reason, common sense and busi-
ness sense that is sweeping over the
state and bringing city after city into
line to spin out and cast off the ante
quated councilmanic system for
better, saner and more economical
plan the commission form of gov
ernment-the system that placed Gal
weston in the front rank of Ameri-
can cities after the councilmanic sys-
tenn had thrown up it's hands, when
natures fury had done it's utmost to
wipe out the city, and the resultant
and confusion seemed
beyond all human power to straight
en- out. Again congratulating you on
the yeoman service you are doing for
the good of this community, and this
in defiance of the most powerful in
fluence to lead you the other way.
Yours respectfully.

|. V. Van Zanten Desires
100000 Acres for Colon
lists from Holland
FARMERS AND DAIRYMEN
Feasible Plan that Would Con-
vert Logged Lands Into
Fertile Fields

About fifty prominent citizens OF
Grays Harbor attended the meeting
at Hoquiam last night, to hear the
proposition of |. V. Van Eaten, a
prominent Hollander who is seeking
1,000,000 acres of land for colonial
ton purposes. Mr.. Van Eaten was
taken up the Humptulips valley yes
terday afternoon, was well satisfied
with the character of the land he
saw and will send samples of the hill
soil to Holland for analysis. AS it
will be impossible for him to deal
with individuals, he requested the
owners to get together and form a
holding company.
Mr., Van Zanten has come to
America to find place suitable for
the colonization OF large numbers of
Holland farmers and dairymen. Last
night he stated that in his travels
he had not found climate or land so
well suited to his purpose as those
of Grays Harbor. Off-hand, he is
prepared to say he thinks the land is
good and the climate moist enough.
He put his proposition before the cit
liens and promised to return in the
spring and get the decision. At that
time he also said he would get sam
pies of the soil on the highest land,
the quality of which is doubtful and
take it back to Holland for analysis
HoIIander's Proposition
Briefly stated, Mr.. Van Zanten
wants an option on a million acres
of land, said option to hold good for
y years and to be exercised as fol-
lows: 1900 acres the first year, 1000
acres the second year, on up to 32,.
900 the year, and thence increasing
each year until at the end of IL
years 1,120,000,000 acres will have
been settled. He will pay cash for
the land as he puts settlers upon it
and the increased value will be di.
vided with the land owners. He pur-
poses that each settler shall have 40
acres of land which he can farm and
upon which he can do dairying
Mr.. Van Zanten said he had ample
financial backing in Amsterdam,
which would be forthcoming when he
made report that he had good land
in sufficient quantity for colonization
purposes He said he knew his peo-
pie and their requirements and would
have no difficulty in getting settlers
when he felt sure he could settle them
in the right place and under proper
conditions.
Form Large Colonies
Mr.. Van Zanten laid stress upon the
first settlers getting the best lands
and said he would not settle less than
80 families in one locality; that they
would form a community of their own.
with a church and a mUister who
could speak English and who would
be, in great measure, the leader OF
the flock. He proposes to bring
farmers and not fortunehunters and
pointed to the success which had at
tended the settlement of Hollanders
in Whatcom county and in other To-
calities He said he felt assured thar
WesterD Washington and Oregon were
suited to his purpose and he would
like TO secure lands in that region
He favored settling the bottom lands
first, then the bench lands and lastly
the uplands.

ready for the building of houses along
these streets. There were many
miles of these new streets-the road
ways we'll formed and we'll surfaced,
the curbstones set, the sewers and
gas pipes put in, the lamp posts set
everything ready. He astonished
me very much by telling me that all
that had been done (and it was a
very extensive work. out of the re-
ceipts of the year; no bonds issued.
No Strain on Property Owners
"ln the meeting with the commits
sion later l pursued this subject aud
inquired first what the assessment
was on the abutters on all those new
streets What did they pay or con.
tribute towards the cost of those new
streets? Nothing" Didn't you re-
quire anything of the abutters?' "Yes,
when house was built on the lot of
an abutter, we required him to build

premises This was the only re-
quirement made of the abutters.

saction as that in any American city

mot at ALL"
did you raise the tax rate in Hous-
ton?
No, we lowered It q Mttie.'
How then did you get the mon
ey to these very large public expen-
itures without borrowing anything,
and without taxing anybody any
more-not even the abutters on the
new streets?'
Got Dollar for Dollar
"They looked at each other and
smiled. and finally one of them said
that he thought the explanation was
that the commission had secured for
the city dollars worth Of work or
materials for dollar. That seemed
desirable business result; but still
did not see clearly how these ex-
traordinary expenditures had been
met. On pursuing the subject lit
tie further, one of the commission
ers said:
"We think that our predecessors
did not get more than so cents worth
of work for dollar That meant,
you see, that we'll nigh half the en-
tire income of the city under the for
mer administration was available for
the commission government towards
new expenditures; towards new well
fare work for the community in gen.
eral. Now, in some degree, I think
that has been the result in all the
cities governed by commission. They
have succeeded in getting for the
city some approach to a dollars
worth of work for dollar paid. = * =
Different in Other Cities.
ut is notorious that the Ameri-
can city in general does not get a
dollars worth of work for a dollar.
1t is notorious that employment BY
the city is regarded by many poll
ticians, first, as charitable aid for in
firm and incapable people, and sec
ondly, as affording the means of pay
ing off political obligations. The pro-
curing of days work for days

have read many of the reports of
the commission governments, and
have never failed to find that they
have been measurably successful in
this very direction"
