A NEW FIELD OPENS.

There is little question but that stock rasing on a larger scale will be of great benefit to the farmers oi this section of the country. In hardly any line of production nowadays is there such demand as for good live stock and the prices which are being paid offer a fine inducement to the farmer promided he can feed stock at such cost that the work will bring him a substantial result.
 The large packers of the country have insisted that one of the cardi- nal reasons for the advancement in the price of meats has been grow ing scarcity of production, and an in- creassing population. There has been a greater amount of attention paid to tilling the soil than to live stock of recent years and the result has been that cattle sheep and hogs, the entire country considered, have been steadily on the decline as to numbers.
 There is no reason why the south ern farmer cannot make live stock raising profitable. The Wisconsin farmer takes so many head of stock and so many bushels or pounds of feed and figures that he will realize so many pounds of good, prime meat. He generally succeeds in accomplish ing this. He has reduced feeding to a scientific basis. That is why the farmers of that and adjoining states have comfortable accounts, own much property, stock and bonds, and ride in automobiles.
 The southern farmer is not lacking in energy, desire to work on a scien- tific, basis and to make the soil and products bring other than live stock. In as much as the live stock situation is commanding serious attention, however, this one phase of the farm ought to be given serious consider ation. All cannot raise live stock, but there is big enough field in this direction to make it fine sec ond to the cotton rasing. When these are brought relatively near in point of production, the milk and honey of plenty willflow bountifully in this section. And there's bigger future in the south than any other section of the country.

HOW HOUSTON PROMOTES CITY
 BUILDING.

Continuing the subject of taxation reform as a means of promoting the prosperity of cities the Graphic pre- sents herewith some details of the plan already referred to as having its inception at Houston Texas.
 The Houston plan, in brief, ex- empts most personal property from taxation and aims to put the heaviest end of the burden on land. Land IS assessed at 75 per cent of it's full value and all improvements upon land at 25 per cent. No charge is made for building permits, the policy being to encourage the investment of capital improvements.
 Real estate in Houston is assessed by the methods of the Somers Unit system of realty valuation. In ex- plaining it, MT. J. J. Pastoria, tax commissioner of the city of Houston, says:
 "In the first place, the city has secured the services of two men who have lived in Houston many years and who are thoroughly posted as to the values of real estate ill every part of the city. In addition to thelr services. the city assessor and col
 lctor. Jas. P. Welsh, Commissioner Jones and myself and familiar with
 values in many parts of the city
 With this as a quarter, l have pre-
 pared thirty-six sectional maps oi the city, made in convenient siAe ! for handling. There maps contain
 only the sweletons of blocks and the I streets. the lot lines having been J omitted. The first step is for one ol
 these gentlement just named, who IS
 most familiar with the locality, to
 place on these maps in front of each
 block and on the four sides of each
 block what he thinks is the quick or fair selling price per front foot Of middle lot in the block. These are
 called tentative prices. They were scrutenized after that by all of the committee each ones opinion being
 taken regarding the work Of the other. s
 t.In addition to the above the Chamber of Commerce and the Hous- ton Real Estate exchange, appointed committee to cooperate with the t board of appraisemcnt in arriving at q !,

] fair cash selling price of lands in the city. Their committee met daily l in the city half for two or three weeks and gave the board the benefit of their judgement, resulting in the | changes of many tentative price which had been placed upon the maps by the city's tax committee"
 "The next step," says the Houston tax commissioner, "is to visit the land in persons and if our prices are not correct, to change them on the spot having taken the map with us, of course. While on these trips We discuss prices with the people in the neighborhood which we are visit- ing, and in this way correct errors or confirm our judgement.
 Not satisfied with this, have ad- dressed improvement clubs of the carious wards on the system and have in open meeting received their opinion of prices of land in that ward The securing of these opinions, I assure you, is not formal We act as a jury and pay attention to the man who is honestly giving up his opinion, backed up with proof. Many times we have lowered the prices which we ourselves have placed upon the map. Occasionally the property owners themselves have insisted that we are too low, and they therefore raised the price,
 The Houston committee also used postal cards, requesting citizens to call and confer on values. They have not taken the prices asked for land, nor prices paid on long time, but cash values.
 Men are employed to measure eacn building. They are provided with blanks upon which are entered de- tails of material and conditions, etc. In Houston buildings are assessed at a less per cent than land. That is a. least an approach toward the Henry George single tax system. Houston buildings are assessed at p per cent of cost of reproduction. This policy encourage improvements and discour- ages vacant lots.
 1t is claimed the Somers unit plan, as administered in Houston, ellml- mates tax lodging. Under this system the tax commissioner says, lit will bo impossible for John Smith to be assessed $1 ,O0O for lot and his next door neighbor, John Jones, be assess ed for $2,OOO. Each one will be as- sessed indentically the same, no mat ter whether the price be too hlgh or too low.
 All influences that increase or de- crease the value of land must be con sidered separately.
 The relation of the value Of one piece of land to another is recognized as a mathematical ratio.
 The best manner to ascertain the value of land is to get the conlllc' as well as the consensus of opinion from the community, and not of any one man.
