Property owners in many of the
smaller towns or cities whose streets
swarm with motor traffic are still
wasting their money on horse-and-
buggy "pavements" of by-gone days.
And the heavy expense of trying to
keep worn-out, dangerous, horse-and-
buggy streets in repair, added to their
original cost, amounts to more than
enough to pay for trve, even, non-skid

tenance built in. This thought was

In 1920 Texas farmers planted 10,-
345,022 acres in feed crops, says a
bulletin from the department of agri-
culture. In 1925 there were only
8,098,407 acres planted to feed crops
in the state.
With the population of tlie state on
the increase and with smaller feed
crops being raised, thus meaning that
farmers will have to buy their teed
from other states, it appears that
there is something wrong with our
system of agriculture.

(Kansas City Star)
A most successful feeder marketed
a carload of steers from his feed lots
last week at a price $4 a hundred
low er than similar cattle handled in l
exactly the same manner a year ago. 1
These cattle were light in weight, top-
ped the market and had been fed
cheap corn with high priced hogs fol-
lowing them. All of these conditions
help to minimize the loss in finishing
them for market.
The general prosperity of the coun-
try is not reflected in the fat cattle
market. The cattle men who filled
Kansas pastures with thin cattle at
prices prevailing last spring are dis-
couraged. rhe grass fat cattle com-
ing to market are registering losses
of $10 to $15 a head. The feeder who
produced his own cattle and the corn,
hay and grass which they have con-
sumed is just about breaking even.
Those who replenished their feed lots
and pastures from outside sources are
hit the hardest.
It may be argued by some that the
cattle men knew last spring that they
were paying exorbitant prices. Most
of them realized this. With pastures
available, the only option which the
commercial cattle men had was to
buy steers to the best possible ad-
vantage on the prevailing market or
to allow grazing lands to be idle for
the season. Such a procedure is con-
trary to practice; hence cattle were
purchased.
An effort is being made to ship
cattle back to Texas and the South-
west. where feed is abundant, with
the hope that another year's grazing
may find a better market. Cattle
have done exceptionally well where
pastures were not overstocked and
the water supply abundant. There is
a large element of chance in return-
ing such cattle to the Southwest.
Profits can not result from increased
gains during the next 12 months, but
must come from higher prices. With

board has given us we should be able
to have the best school term that we
have ever had. I have talked with
many of our students, all seem ready,
to hit the line for a big gain this year.
We want to make this year a counter

I would like to urge the parents to
come out to our opening exercise. We
like for you to make the school a
stopping place; in fact, we need you
out here. Let me urge the P.-T. A.’s
to come out and meet all of our
teachers. Feel free to call on us for
any assistance we can give you.
I would be glad to talk school prob-
lems with any one any time next
week. I will be in my office most of
the time from Monday to Friday at
noon. I would especially advise all
new students to come during those
days—we can take our time in work-
ing out a suitable course for you.
Let me remind the old students to
bring their report cards and their book

Those who insist upon handling steer '
which weigh more than tlie market
calls for are inviting disaster. Al-
though the present situation is acute
and needs immediate relief. It is not
temporary. It is largely due to the
well established methods which prov
ed profitable in the past being con-
tinued when demand for beef has
changed.
The successful cattle men of the fu
ture must produce what the market
demands. The well finished yearling
of' acceptable beef conformation is
giving tlie best account of himself.
Everything indicates that cattle men
should work from a speculative into
a productive industry in order to as
sure their permanency in the profes-
sion of beef producers. When th"
change is made from tlie old to the
new system, age and weight of cattle
will be reduced and quality, type ami
finish will be more evident. It is im-
possible for every beef producer to
get in a cow and calf business. As
they approach this method of produe
tion, eliminating the 2, 3 ami 4-year-
old steers, their chances for success
will be increased.

Commission of the
If there is anything to be relied
upon in the signs of the political
zodiac in Texas, taxpaying industry
has grown tired of being treated as
so many eggs to lie dropped Into the
tax eaters frying pan, and is about to
demand a new deal, and a square deal
at that. The fact that salary progres-
sionists are preparing to ask of the
legislature another raise of a few
millions might not appear strange al-
though remarkable. It is the thought
that they should expect taxpayers to
fall for it that is preposterous. Tax
paying industry has, up to this good
hour, been turning the other cheek
to be soaked rather regularly and with
a rare quality of patience. It has very
little left of that substance generally
known as “funny bone." Furthermore
it has at last come to understand that,
one of two things must be done; eith-
er the scramble to get on the public
pay roll must be halted or else the
average taxpayer must take a wheel
chair and a nurse. “Taxitis," or
rather. TAX-EAT-US, is a disease dif-
ficult to combat because it is backed
by organized effort, the very thing
that taxpayers need most but think
little of.
As for the plans of 50-50 progres-
sionists, it is as easy for discerning
minds to see through them as if they
were glass windows. They are or-
ganized and the taxpayers are not,
which gives them both political pow-
er and advantage. Legislators are no
different from other folks. They have
plenty of courage, as have other men.
But while unafraid of most things,
when it comes to going up against
organized political power they sure
use lots of caution.
Should the law-making body wake
up to the true facts of our tax boost-
ing problem and, in a cool, impartial
frame of mind, subject it to critical
analysis it will find it important to
begin at the beginning,—that is at the
point where and when the game of
tax boosting and its underlying causes
commenced. Then we may have an
intelligent knowledge of the lay of
the land,—its swells and its valleys.
We will come to understand, too, that
when a four-square doctrine won't
square it is because it has no right
angles or square corners In it. True,
the average taxpayer may be playing
in luck with all this tax spending but
this is not saying what kind of luck -

also arranged witli local chambers if
commerce to defray the expense. It
was a formidable job, but the associa-
tion undertook it confidently. Secre-
tary Wheeler now reports that the
notices are now being duly published
in all of the counties having districts
to be defined by the legislature under
the accepted plan tor bond validation.
Tlie announcement should lie greeteil
with relief, and should direct toward
tlie association the commendation it
so richly merits.
In a previous report Mr. Wheeler
.stated that a few of the counties were
still negligent in the matter of publi-
cation. It is indicated, therefore, that
not all of the validating bills can be
simultaneously introduced as soon as
the legislature is convened, but that
in some cases a delay of several days
must be undergone in orde* to satisfy
tlie requirement for a 30-day interim.
The legislature should not be subject-
ed to much if any delay, however, in
finally disposing of the entire 555
bills.
Those counties will'll failed to be-
gin publishing tlie notices as soon as
the forms were received did wisely in
deciding to enlist themselves with the
majority for bond validation Some
fear had been expressed that local co-
operation would be lacking in a few
instances. While none of the coun-
ties may have had the slightest in-
tention of defaulting on interest or
sinking fund payments, that does i at

bonds would be under a formidable
prejudice in the market shoulu res-

before the date of maturity. The
character of bonds rests not alone on
their integrity as individual promis-
sory notes, but upon their negotiable
value. The community that tegli-
gently permits its securities to depre-
date connives at the defrauding ot
innocent purchasers.
