Comptroller Terrell Makes
Assertion.
By Associated Press.
Dr. Herman Mueller, German foreign minister, and Dr. Johannes
Bell, minister of the colonies, are on their way from Berlin to Ver-
sailles to sign the treaty of peace, having passed through Cologne
this morning. They are expected to reach their destination Saturday
morning and arrangements are proceeding for the signing of the
treaty at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon. Notwithstanding the prob-
ability that the formal signing, of the treaty seems near to accom-
plishment, Paris reports intimate that there is a feeling among the
allied delegates that the signing may not bring to a close the tense
situation between the allies and Germans.
A bad impression as to the stability of the present German
government has been created in Paris. - It is pointed out that there is
no provision in the treaty as to when Germany must 'ratify the
document and it is feared there may be vexatious delays before peace
is actually restored.
Meanwhile a Stuttgart dispatch to a Berlin newspaper states
that Former Emperor William, who, for the last seven months has
been at Amerongen, Holland, is planning to return to Germany
before the allies can demand his surrender by the Netherland gov-
ernment. The Stuttgart telegram declares that the departure of the
former emperor would be welcomed by Holland, as he is "an unwel-
come guest" and his continued presence in that country may prove
embarrassing....
Dispatches report the internal situation in Germany becoming
increasingly serious. Affairs at Hamburg areconcededly in a bad
way and there are' numerous reports of communist movements in
existence or in prospect, while counter-revolutionary movement is
said to be brewing in the eastern part of the country.

Unfavorable Impression Is
Created.
Paris, June 26.— (By the Associated
Press).—Disappointment over what is
termed the apparent weakness of the
present German government is not con-
cealed in peace conference circles and
the feeling has been expressed that
the signing of the peace treaty may
mean little more than the signing by.
the bolsheviki at Brest-Litovsk did.
The defiant tone of the German note,
which grudgingly agreed to sign the
treaty without reservations, created an
unfavorable impression on members of
the various delegations,- according to
statements today, and this seemingly
- has been intensified by the delay of
the Germans in arranging for,the car-
rying out of their promises.
The peace treaty contains no provi-
sion as to when they must ratify. Con-

London, June 27.—The new movement
in Irish politics organized by Sir Horace
Plunkett and other Irish leaders, under
the title of “the Irish dominion league”
is receiving the greatest encourage-
ment, according to the Daily Mail.
The chief object of the league is to
secure a settlement of the Irish ques-
tion along the lines of dominion home
rule and create a representative body
of Irishmen, both Ulstermen and Na-
tionalists, who are genuinely anxious
to solve the problem and whom the
vovernment mav consult.

hence there is no record of a pri-
vate presidential seal in connec-
tion with such documents. Marking '
another precedent, it was neces-
sary for Mr. Wilson to duly ac-
credit himself as a plenipotentiary
authorized to negotiate and 'sign
the Paris treaty. This he did by
causing Sidney Smith, chief of the
diplomatic bureau of the state de-
partment, who accompanied him to
Paris, to prepare “full powers" in
his own name which he duly signed.

Crown Prince Makes Forecast in Inter-
view.
By Associated Press.
London. June 27.—"After peace is
signed I will return to Germany to live
on my estates in Silesia and "perform
my duties as a land owner," said the
former German crown prince in an in-
terview 1 last week at Wieringen, ac-
cording to a Brussels dispatch to the
Daily Mirror. The prince is also quoted
as declaring that “Prussia and Silesia
will never consent to be governed by
Poland. There will be another war in
ten years.”
"Complete revision of our tax laws
to the end that every citizen of Texas
may have a square deal," was urged
by H. B. Terrell, state comptroller, in
an address here today before- the an-
nual convention of the Tax Collectors’
Association of Texas.
'The' tax collector comes in contact
daily with the inequity of our system
of taxation,” Comptroller Terrell said.
“He witnesses often the injustice done
one industry and the special privilege
granted another.”
Quoting from statistics available in
his office, the speaker declared the.
land owner of Texas is forced to pay
61% per cent of the ad valorem tax
« in the state “while all the banks, mon-
ey and bonds combined contribute only
6% per cent of the amount received
from an ad valorem tax.”
DEPOSITS NOT RENDERED.
Mr. Terrell said bank statements pub-
lished in daily papers of Texas showed
individual deposits subject to check
amounting to more than $800,000,000,
“while less than $40,000,000 or about
four per cent of this amount has been
rendered for taxation.”
“Our taxable values amount to about
three billion dollars, while they should
reach ten billion. Our tax rate is thirty
cents, when it should never exceed ten
cents,” the speaker continued.
“The total valuation of all property
in Texas for 1918 was $3,012,819,287 and
the percentage which each separate
class of taxable property bears to the
total value of the states is as follows:
"Real estate, $1,911,013,122 valuation,
61% per cent; personal property, $377,-
948,692 valuation, 13% per cent; banks
money and bonds, $188,830,685 valua-
tion, 6% per cent; corporation, $207,-
ing great prideiin the possession of
an ancient stone of Ptolemy’s time
representing a conventional bird
with a branch, which Mr. Bryan
preferred to regard as the original
“bird of peace.” It was this .seal
that appears upon each, of the 21
arbitration treaties which Mr. Bry-
an esteemed as his greatest accom-
plishment.

dent of the United States been

of the woman suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution was resumed'
in the senate today.
Suffrage showed strength in the sen-
ate during 'the consideration yesterday,
as every move of the opponents of the ;
measure was voted down and the final
decision was referred until today by
tacit agreement to enable senators who
expressed a wish to speak to be heard. .
Senator E. I. Clark of Fayette today
introduced a concurrent resolution in
the senate proposing that the entire
membership of the legislature imme-
diately tender their resignations to the
governor and that he call special elec-
tions in their respective districts with-
in twenty days' to fill the vacancies. The
plan is to let the members stand for
re-election on the issue as to whether |
or not the federal suffrage amendment I
to the constitution shall be ratified. |
Senator Page of Bastrop objected to
the resolution on the ground that it
was out of order; that the legislature
has no authority to request the gover-
nor to ask- legislators to resign. The
point was overruled and the resolution
was referred to the senate committee
on privileges and elections.
Senator Cousine of Sabine opposed
the ratification resolution, declaring
that while he had always worked for
suffrage he could not vote for ratifica-
tion because the proposition had been
defeated by the sovereign voters of
Texas. The senate recessed for the
joint session in the house.
Senator Dorough of Bowie, in advo-
cating the ratification- resolution, stated
he had been elected on a platform fa-
voring suffrage and he promised his
constituents to keep his pre-election
pledges.
Senator Rector of San Saba asserted
he favored ratification because the
Democratic platform at Waco had de-
cided in favor of suffrage.
Debate on the resolution was still in
progress when the senate recessed until
230 o’clock this afternoon. When the
senate reconvened, debate was resumed.
It is planned to reach a vote on the
measure late today.
Government Troops at Hamburg Are
Overcome.

Hamburg, June 26. —Hamburg threat-
ens to become a second Munich, with
even greater bloodshed. The city is
completely in the power of the com-
munists and Spartacans, who are util-
izing food riots as an excuse for their
attempts to gain control. In the rioting
yesterday they stormed the city ha.ll
and overcome the government troops,
capturing quantities of ammunition,
rifles and machines. They then swept
over the entire city, plundering, killing
and destroying.
Many of Hamburg’s fine / buildings
were badly damaged. Jails have been
stormed . and criminals released. The |
number of dead is unknown rumors ;

Berne, Switzerland, Thursday, June
26.—The general situation in Germany
is becoming steadily more serious, ac-
cording to the latest dispatches.
The railroad strike, it is reported,
is about to extend throughout the whole
country.
Spartacans do not conceal their be-
lief that their hours has come, in view
of the transportation strike and the
poor food supply. Some reports state
that famine appears imminent. On

while the railroads pay 10% per cent
of the total ad valorem tax, all other
corporations combined only pay 7%
per cent of the entire amount of our ad
valorem tax.
“Railroad construction in this state
is a thing of the past, unless some radi-
cal changes occur in public sentiment
and yet thousands of miles of rail-
ways are needed to move the millions
of cattle, sheep, hogs, etc., from the
ranches of the west, while thousands
of tons of onions, lettuce, cabbage, etc.,
are going to waste for want of trans-
portation facilities in the southwest.
NEEDS OF THE HOUR.
“The crying need of the hour is for
an interurban railway from Fort Worth
to the West, circling the entire oil belt

to the state. The Lower Rio Grande
country should have an electric rail-
way connecting that country with San
Antonio and the north just as Los
Angeles has hourly* electric service
reaching every section of Lower Cali-
fornia.
“But under our present system of
government, with taxing power over
corporated interests vested in state,
county, district and municipalities, Wall
street fears to invest in securities of
electric lines just as it does railways
of Texas:
“The separation of state and county
taxes will solve the question of cor-
porate taxes and put a stop to the prac-
tice now indulged in by many city ad-
ministrations of almost confiscating
corporate property because a corpora-
tion happened to be on the losing side
of a mayoralty campaign.”
Another remedy suggested by Mr.
Terrell was the creation of a state board
of equalization with power to fix val-
ues.

■German Officers Want Dutch to Pro- 1

Coblenz, Thursday, June 26.—(By
the Associated Press).—The following
advertisement is appearing in newspa-
pers in various parts of unoccupied
Germany, being a part of the cam-
paign that is said to be going on
throughout the country under the aus-
pices of the German officers’ alliance:
“We have telegraphed the Holland
government as follows:
“ ‘The German officers’ alliance, filled
with gratitude for the hospitality af-
forded the German kaiser by Holland,
in the name of millions of Germans re-
quest the government of the Nether-
lands to refuse to deliver the kaiser to
the entente. We cannot now defend
our former war lord with our bodies,
but we expect the magnanimity of the
Dutch to spare us this final and most
humiliating .disgrace.’ ”
The advertisement is signed “The
German Officers’ Alliance.” No papers
appearing in the American occupied
areas have been permitted to print the
advertisement, which is addressed “To
all Germans.” <
The great seal of the United
States will appear twice in con-
nection with the treaty or treaties,
but this will only be in the final
stages of its consummation: first
upon the article signifying the rat-

sequently delay in ratification may
cause the peace conference annoyance,
although it is generally agreed by the
delegates that enforcement of the repa-
rations clause need not be delayed un-
til there is ratification by the Ger-
mans.
While no official announcement had
been made up to shortly before noon
today regarding the time for the cere-'
mony of signing the peace treaty with
Germany, arrangements for the event

day. The council of four was in ses-
sion this morning perfecting the plans
for the signing.
If the signing occurs as contemplated

cessions to China within a stipulated
time.

Texas’ Output Was 22.4 Per Cent of
Total Crop.
By Associated Press.
Washington, June 27.—The combined
production of the cotton of Texas,
Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi,
the only states which produced more
than one million bales each in 1918,
represented 63.2 per cent of the total
crop in this country last year, accord-
ing to a census bureau bulletin on the
industry made public today.
■ Texas alone produced 2,696,561 bales,
or 22.4 per cent; Georgia, 2,122,405
bales, or 17.6 per cent; South Carolina
1.569,918 bales, or 13 per cent, and Mis-
sissippi 1,226,051 bales, or 10.2 per cent.
The only two counties that produced
more than 100,000. bales each from the
growth of 1918 were Bolivar in Missis-
sippi, with 124,936 bales, and Orange-
burg in South Carolina, with 110,718
bales.
Thursday’s report of the escape of
the former crown prince from his in-
ternment in Holland, it appears from
the available dispatches, came from
British official sources in. Paris. The
accuracy of the news apparently was
accepted without question in peace con-
ference circles.
As the hours passed without details
of the reported happening, doubts be-
gan to arise whether the British ad-
vices were correct. It was suggested
by one of the Paris newspapers that the
ex-crown prince had been out on a lark
within Dutch territorial limits and that
this had given rise to reports that he
had flown into Germany.

Austin, June 27.—A resolution set-
ting out that wool growers of Texas
lost thirteen cents pound through false
appraisal of wool sold to the govern-
ment last year was -introduced in the
house by Representative Kellis of
Sterling. The resolution proposed the
instruction of Texas members of con-
gress to make efforts to secure the
reimbursement of money lost to wool
growers and an appropriation to equip
the A. and M. college to teach wool
and mohair grading and scouring.
Time for consideration of resolutions
expired before action was taken and
the resolution remains pending. .
In debate Representative Kellis said
that wool growers of his district did
not receive pay for wool sold to the
government until May, and that he is
told that some have not been paid yet.
The governor submitted to the legis-
lature today the consideration of a bill
relating to the proceedings for the
removal of county seats, so as to pro-
vide that in all counties having not
more than 150 free holders and quali-
fied voters, the application for the elec-
tion for this purpose shall be held suf-
ficient when it shall have been signed
by a majority of the resident free hold-
ers.
He also submitted the question of an
emergency appropraition for the land
office to meet the great increase of
the volume of business brought about
by the development of the oil indus-
try.
