doubt that It has proven exccllen, in
many cities.
II we remember Alright. after II
had been installed In Waco, the rate
of taxation was lowered and the rcNo-
nues accruing TO the city increased
materially. This was brought about
by the fact that realty could not es-
cape taxation. Under the same sys'
TEN. buildings could not escape tax
alton at the proper value. All prop
crty was taxed. much OF which had
been escaping taxation previously
aud in consequence Il was easy toI
lower the rate and yet continue TO
operate the city government With IN
creased funds from taxation.
We do not suppose that Il would
be practical 10 institute such sys-
tenn over an entire state And yet
We are sure that some day system,
which VIII prove effective VIII u'
worked out
The trouble In Texas Is that the
burden OF taxation is distributed
among a comparatively small mum
Der Of actual property owners. and
that much property. that should be
taxed, under the present haphazard
methods escapes the eve ot the as.
