Resolved, That the school building now in
process of erection in the first division be

Force"
from the minutes of the trustees for 1000-Bl
We get at the approximate date upon which
the Force Building was opened. Here We find
the report of the Committee on Building and
Repairs, which states:
'"The Committee on Building and Repairs
respectfully reports that they met on the 3lSt
of August at the Force Building for the pur-
pose of inspection. After doing 50, carefully,
We had the pleasure to RECOMMEND its accept
ance by the honorable Commissioners.
I'VE are now getting the furniture put down
and expect to have the school running all right
in one week"
Prom this might assume that the school
was opened about September 21 1880, as there
IS no reference to the subject at the following
board meeting. The next item of interest
CLEANED from the minutes is a letter from the
son of Mr.. Force which reads

DIAMOND FOUND IN CALIFORNIA
 COLD TA|L|NCs

CHEROKEE, Calf, Mar, g, (A) A rough diamond, estimated by miners to be worth $l 800 was found in the tailings of the old Cherokee hydraulic gold mine here by a school girl Cora Jack son.
 The discovery revived interest in the possibility of a diamond mine being situated near the gold mine. During the last 50 years 457 diamonds have been picked out of the hydraulic tailings but no systematic attempt has ever been made to mine the stones. Several years ago a representa- tive of a. diamond firm inspect ed several of the stones and pro- nounced them of good quality.

Is comparatively little activity.
Not only does the company have
200 acres of its own for growing

farmers when they thin out their
crops. Many farmers buy their seed
from this company.
Ii requires from 200 to go per-
sons at one time to keep the BUSH

payroll. Then during the season
the stamp bill amounts to about

fore Committee

AUSTIN. Feb. 27.-Former Gov.
Dan Moody has been invited before
the senate constitutional amend
ments committee Wednesday night
10 discuss the proposed amendment

Others also asked before the COM
mlttee include Highway Commr.
Cone johnson, Former SEN. Thomas
3 Love, Dallas. Maco Stewart, Gal
weston: Richard Kleberg, Corpus

ganized labor.
The advice and counsel Of such
men" Sen. DeBerry said, viii go
a long way toward establishing the
reasonabieness and need Of this
amendment. Every person is invited
to discuss this subject. The most
reerestable feature OF this hearing
is that the average citizen interest
ed in this subject cannot be here.
III the opinion OF all those who
are now suffering from the present
Injustice Of too much tax on real
property could be heard, there
would be no doubt as to the passage
Of this amendment through both
bodies OF the legislature The ELM
nation of the state ad valorem tax
will naturally call for other taxes.
Those who fear that such tax
might be levied on them are able.
and will certainly be here"
Sen. DeBerry declared, Much has
been said by tax experts. polite
fans. members Of the legislature and
governors about the unjust tax bur
den on farms. homes and real prop
erty. but nothing specifically has
ever been done about II.
Nothing will ever be done about
II until the state id valorem tax
u absolutely abolished. When
this Is done, those who are now en-
loving the protection of this gov
eminent and are not paying their
fair share of taxes will be forced 70
make up the deficit.
The tax survey commission re-
port, made a few years ago. recon-
mended this method OF securing tax
equalization. Ex-Tax Commr. John
G.. Willacy. and Ex-Tax Commr.
r. G. Weinert also agree with this
plan.
When taxes prohibit the owning
Of a home. and when taxes prohibit
the owning OF a farm. II Is certain
ly time that something should be
done about II.
When the government makes
taxes equal and uniform according
to the ability 10 pay and when the
government gives a dollars worth
of service for the dollar thus OBJ
tanned. and when II distributes priv
ileges and restraint equally. this in
deed viii be a government that

mentals Of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none. The per-
petuity or a democratic form on
