A telegram to a local fur buye received during the past few days. conveys the information that white fox skins have laAen slump since the close of the Frisco fair and arc now quoted on the Outside at prices about 25 per cent less than thos of last fall. It is generally indicated that the quotations of the past sea son were the result of artificia causes and were not in any degree consistent and Were not in any de gree consistent with the actual de mand. The message gives no infor- nation as to conditions in othel times, the white variety apparently being the only fur to be affected Nome Nugget.

MODERN IDEAS
 ON TAXATION Houston Likes New Form of Assess. ment and Wants to Keep It In
 Spite of Courts Ruling.

Houston, Texas, has had a tax commissioner named Pastoriza for saeDral years, his office appearing to correspond tQ that of assessor in oth- or states. At least he does the assess ing for his town.
 MT. Pastoriza belongs to the eco- homie school which believes that taxes should not be imposed upon in- dustry but upon values created by so- ciety. For that reason he took it upon himself to increase the asSc ss- ments on land values and largely re- Auce assessments on improvement, Incidentally, he did not bother him. aelf to act as a gumshoe man looking for promissory notes and like assets to place upon the assessment roll.
 MT. Pastoriza's system Of assess ment worked so we'll that everybody in Houston liked it except the moss backs owning unincumbered real property and little else. In spite of their protests he was reelected tax commissioner year after year, so they went into court and obtained find ing that his system of assessment was illegal. Whereupon he wrote a let ter to all taxpayers ill the city stat ing his reason for his system of as- ,sessment and asking their opinion. The answers come promptly. Nearly all of them were favorable to the Pas toriza plan.
 The result of this experiment in Houston shows that when a modern system of taxation can be placed in contrast with anticipated methods. it wins popular favor as soon as it is thoroughly tried. The four memrers of the Valdez town council who favor eighteenth century ideas on taxation might read with profit the letter of Ar. Pastoriza to the taxpayers of Housto n which follows:
 sThe object of this letter is to call your attention to the fact that as Tax Commissioner was forced by the lawsuit. which as,;instituted for the purpose of declaring the Houston Plan of. Taxation illegal, to tax all forms of property not specially ex- empted by the. .Constitution. The Constit4tiop provides. that cash and notes shall be taxed. It is true that no city in Texas: succeeds in taxing money. OF notes tos any amount. A flaw people who have saved small amounts are frightened into: assessing 1t. Widows who have life insurance are also frightened into assessing 1t. A few. other taxpayers, for reasons of their own, assess their money, and notes. ..but mo- city has ever succeed ed in. placing upon the assessment roll ten per gent. of the, cash. and notes which are in existence.
 Furthermore. this special effort on the part of the City of Houston to tax money, as you will note from the fin ancial statement, has had tendency to cause people to draw their money out of the banks and either send it out of the State or secrete it, thus prohibiting it from being put into
