with Mexico. in which the latter coun-
try was defeated At the close of the
war Congress passed an act granting
all the public lands in Texas to that
state.
The state of Texas had. therefore. on
the formation of its constitution, to
deal with the private Spanish titles and
claims such as were dealt with by the
United States as to the residue. of the
land which was acquired from Mexico.
The Texans proceeded to cut off. as.far
as possible, the bases of claims which
would prove troublesome to the titles
of colonists and actual occupants of
lands BY the thirteenth article of the
constitution of Texas all fines. penal
ties and escheats which had accrued
or might have accrued to the former
government of Mexico were declared to
be the property of the state and were.
hy the constitution. transferred to the
affected.
The apparent intent and probable ef-
feet of the provisions of the ,constitur
ton was to favor those actual settlers
" ho had come into Texas prior to and
during the revolutionary period. to re-
lease them, when they were actual oc-
cupants and had adhered to the cause
of the state through the war, from the
necessity of defending their posses
sions in court. or to place them in the
best possible position in case the Span
ish claimants. Notwithstanding these
precautions, we've able to get within

were offered homestead tracts OF 160
acres on condition of occupancy and
cultivation for three years. and single
men were encourag ged to settle with an
initial grant of eighty acres. The Or
ganized counties were esta blished as
land districts. and :, careful system OF
surveys was organized. with sur
Veyor in each county and a surveyor
general, who was required to keep in
touch with the surveying operatio
of the United States. in order that the
state system might conform as far as
possible with the public land system of
the United States.
The bulk of unappropriated public
lands was set aside for the support of
the free school system. following the
example set by the United States in
making liberal donations to the public
land states for similar purposes. Sales
and leases of the school lands in Texas
have been made in general accordance
with the procedure of the United States
land office. One characteristic Incl
dent of the Texan land system is its
declaration as to navigable streams. To
provide for rectangular survey and
consistent treatment of fractional parts
of squares it was desirable to con-
stitute streams s boundaries wher-
ever possible. AS general propost-
ton, private ownership goes to the
middle of -navigable streams and
to the banks of naVigable streams. and
the Texas legislature gave the survey
the decision and decreed that a stream
thirty feet wide should be deemed
navigable. no matter what its depth
AS the territory included in the state
of California had no claims to indie
pendence of Mexico and had no sepa-
rate form of government prior to the
Mexican war there was no recognition
of it's sovereignty and title to receipt
of the unappropriated public lands, as
was the case with regard to Texas. On
the contrary, the act granting state
hood to California contained the pro-
visions that the state should never in
terfere with the disposition of these
lands by the United States. should do
no act to impair the title of the United
States and should never impose taxes
on the lands while the federal govern
ment still held the title.
The public lands in California had.
therefore, a similar status to those in
other public land
Land Situation states and were SINH

A grant Of 100000 acres was made to the

SAT-, $50 Gain in the County
Tax Basis.

Frederick countys taxable basis this
year is $3I, ,725 as compared to $50. =
73o, 3Io last year, gain for the year of
1914 of $4SS $50 The State basis is
given as $40, oII,I63 and at 81 cents on
the 500, this wear it will mean that
Frederick county this year will pay to
the State Treasury the sum OF $o2 6o3
This year the gain in the basis is most
gratifying, although some OF the dis.
tricts show decided falling of. These
fallings are mostly in personal property,
as frequent transfers and changes are
made in this class OF property aud the
following of the property for assessment
is not an easy matter. Invariably the
districts which show the greatest values
in real estate make the greatest gains.
Judgments liable for taxation, this year
shows a falling off of about 5000 900, due
in great measure perhaps to the fact
that since judgments are being taxed tn
this county, as well as mortgages, the
more money is being loaned on mort
cages The mortgage income shows a
gain of about 3d. Only the income
on mortgages is taxed, the tax being s
per cent. OF the income. Home stocks
are taxed IS cents on the $Ico, and for
eign stocks 30 cents on the 500.
