the colony for the feeble-minded, sit-
uated three miles northwest of Austin,
will be completed and ready for occu-

ell of the State Board of Control, who
with other members of the board made
an inspection of this institution. Here-
tofore it has been impossible to accept
boys at this institution because of lack
of accommodations. The last legislature
made an appropriation of 631,500 for
the construction of this dormitory.
There are now 124 inmates in the
colony which taxes its capacity, and
next year additional room will be pro-
vided by the construction of a custodial
building at a cost of 345,000. The in-
stitution is in fine shape, Chairman
Cowell said. and is now almost self-
sustaining.

Tobacco causes hardening of the ar-
teries, says Dr. Conner, and along
about forty, when a man should be at
his best, the excessive tobacco user
finds himself with high blood pressure,
headaches, fndigestion and a lot of
other troubles. Your own doctor will
tell you this is true. If you want to
quit tobacco entirely or cut down the
excess, get a package of Nicotol tablets
from your druggist and you will find
it easy. Nicotol kills the craving and
makes the tobacco habit quit you. It
is sold under a steel-bound money-
back guarantee by all druggists.
Note.—Ask your druggist what others
say about the wonderful power of
Nicotol to break the tobacco habit. He
knows and he can be trusted to tell
you the full truth.—(Adv.)

Intangible assets of the railroads of
Texas have been cut in valuation for
taxation purposes from >149,488,804 last
year to 178.740,761 for this year by the
State Tax Board. This reduction is
characterised by James A. King, Stae
Tax Commissioner, as ‘the greatest
single act of justice ever done the rail-
roads in Texas.” - -
In announcing the decision of the
board, Mr. King said that the history
of every road was carefully gone over,
and it was concluded that Texas rail-
roads are on an average with other
roads in the United States in their
depreciation and insolvency. He quoted
figures from the interstate commerce
committee by Mr. Esch showing that
during Federal control of the railroads
the government lost >900,478,766. One-
twelfth of the mileage is in Texas. To
show the injustice of the past system
of taxing intangible assets in this state,
Mr. King said:
“The railroads or Texas pay on an
average- valuation of 76% per cent of
each dollar of value, while no other
property pays on a higher valuation
than 50 per cent, the average being 25
t per cent. It has always been the cus-
: tom to assess the intangible values at
! 100 cents on the dollar, and this was
the only property in the State so as-
sessed. The constitution says that tax-
ation must be equal and uniform, but
the railroad valuations have never been
equally or uniformly assessed.”
List of Valuations.
Out of 108 railroads within the Stater
the tax board found the following in-

And they will like it all the better because of the
