■ale had occurred more, than two
years ago and the Assistant Attorney
General ruled It could not be bought
back by the owner
in his opinion Mr. Terrell says the
general statute authorizes the re-
demption within two years, but not
afterward, and that a number of
Legislatures have passed laws provid-
ing that land theretofore bought in
for taxes might be redeemed at any
time under the usual conditions; but,
he says, the Thirty-second Legisla-
ture failed to pass the usual two-
year extention act and that there-
fore land even for taxes can not be
bought back after the passage of
twenty-four months.
Land bought to satisfy delinquent
taxes may not be sold by the State,
according to the assistant’s ruling.
This means that the State stands to
accumulate a great deal of land
through judgments for taxes within
the next twelve months. It is prob-
able that the next Legislature will be
asked to enact an amendment to the
law to remedy the defects now exist-
ing in this particular.

work of reconstruction is well under

96,000,000 loss with property whose
valuation when completed will reach

Notwithstanding Governor Col-
quitt’s refusal to approve accounts
presented by the board of codifiers,
the Comptroller is approving ac-
counts and issuing warrants for the
| assistants and clerical help of the
board. So far these assistants and
clerks have been able to get about
92500 out of the State treasury by
the Comptroller’s aid. According to
the books of this official, warrants
have been Issued to the following
named persons: H. 8. Howell Jr.,
F. P. McElwrath, Claud J. Carter,
Henry P. Burnay, Josephine Brinson.
James F. Bayles, E. H. Brown, Nat
P. Jackson, R. L. Rather, T. F. Pick-
ney. The stenographers of the board
are receiving 950 and 976 per month
and the legal assistants are drawing
from 9160 to 9200 monthly. The
books show that one Austin law firm
has been receiving 9350 per month,
one of the members receiving 9160
and the other 9200 per month.
The Legislature passed a bill ap-
propriating 92500 for the codification
of the Texas laws. One provision of
the measure was that the accounts of
the codifiers should be approved by
the Governor and the other left the
approval of the accounts of assistanta
or the board to the Comptroller.
The board is supposed to be still at
work.

Attorney Generic yesterday if a rafi-

publication issued by an immigration

the paper was submitted with the
query. It-appears to be a newspaper
and an affirmative answer will be
given on’ that score. However, trans-
portation can not be issued to a com.
pany. says Assistant Attorney General
e .5 Ro bertson, though it may be
forthcoming on account with the com-
pany publishing the periodical but
must be issued in the name of some
person. And, too, he says the trans-
portation can not be issued in advance

International and Great Northern

State Tax Commissioner yesterday.
It was expected President T. J. Free-
man would bring the report to Aus-

New York.
This road in 1911 had gross re-
ceipts of 99.782,165 and net income'
of 91.624,987. including earnings. It!
spent in repairs 92.662.167 and in'
betterments 9333.794, operating 1106
miles of track. Last year the tax I
board fixed an intangible value of
914,488.600.
The report accounts for the reve-

evolved from the National banking
system that came in with the Civil
War It has been proven weak In at

The United State* la the only great

have permitted our banking and cur-

by demagogues,*who feared that ths

defeat them for office. If we are to

"The 9ecret of the suecess of. thaze
credit unions is that they are co-
operative local assoclations which lend
money for meritorious purposes to their
members only who are known per-
sonaily to the directors. For these rea-
sons they can lend money at rates far
below what the people are accustomed
to paying for loan sharks.
"For instance. In 1901 Alphonse Des-
JardlUR established a People’s Bank in
Leyia, just opposite Quebec. The town
had a postal savings bank, branches of
the Quebec Saving* Bank and of three
discount banks and three loan shark*'

bank has accumulated about $150,000,
with a reserve of 111.600, from 1100

cent. The average interest charge la
now loss than 6% nor cent. The throe
loan sharks have fled, but the other
banks prosper. The bank has only
once had to fall back upon the In-
dorser of a note.”
