The breweries are not meddling

there is no necessity for Editor Kerr

board of equalization. The valuation
for the year 1913, is $4,302,101,
against $4,191,326 for 1912, a gain of
$110,775. The number of poll tax ren-
dered for 1913 was 966, against 947
for 1912. The city tax rate is the
same as last year, $1.15 on the $100
valuation of property. The tax rate
this year to be paid by tlje Brown-
wood citizens for state, county and
city taxes is $2.15 on the $100 valu-
ation of property. This is perhaps
the highest rate in the history of
the town. A man with a thousand
dollar home in the city must pay a
tax of $21.50. Taxes this year are
going to add somewhat to the high
cost of living, the rate for state and
county taxes being more than one-
third higher than last year.

Prospective Railroad Building.
Haunt Rock Herald: This part St
the country is being looked over very
earnestly and closely by railroad
builders and promoters just now.
The reason is that, owing to the open-
ing of the Pariama Canal, our whole
section needs connectioh with- the
Gulf to the southeast of us. There
are no railroad facilities for the
whole of this section with San An-
tonio and the southern Gulf Coast,
and many are the eyes turned (long-
ingly along a route from Texico o>'
any point in the Panhandle to Cor-
pus Christi or some Gulf point' in the
southeast coast running through San
Antonio. —
Sonora News: Sheep shearing
hands are . scarce because the Mexi-
cans can make more money picking
cotton. The former shearers take
their families to the cotton fields,
where all members of the family earn
more money. This condition will ne-
cessitate the employment of m^re
machines or the shearing of sheep
but once a year. With scab extermi-
nated and the sheep running loose
this may be a benefit to the wool
grower.

VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
AFTER PECAN THIEVES
LOOKOUT! BOYS!
Boys and older persons who make
a practice of stealing pecans from
other people's orchards will do well
to read and think over the following
pConunciamiento:
“We, the undersigned, having
kindly feeling for all the citizens of
Coleman county, and especially the
law-abiding class of our citizenship,
beg leave to make the following state-
ment:
“Heretofore it has been a common
practice about this time of the year,
when there is a pecan crop, for boys
and others to begin depredations upon
the pecan orchards, and in utter dis-
regard of the law on the subject.
There has been a strong disinclina-
tion to prosecute and punish the" of-
fenders, partly because of the fact
that the number of offences were not
so numerous as at this time, and part-
ly because many of the offenders were
of the families of some of our best
people.
“There is a law intended to protect
this class of property and to punish
those who violate it. Pecans have a
g#axt^intl'rnTOtM^aTue,'~th'c ~sairie "as"
cotton and corn. If a boy should of-
fer to sell a sack of cotton or a bushel
of corn, when he nor his parents had
any of their own, his parents would
not allow it and would doubtless pun-
ish him for it; and it would also be
hard to find any one who would buy
from him.
“Yet a boy can come in home on
Saturday with his hands all stained
from gathering pecans that do not
belong to him, and all the folks at
home know it, and never a word is
said to him about where he got them,
and if he offers to sell them he finds
a ready market and no questions ask-
ed. Is this right? Do you think is
it not a bad thing to allow a boy to
do?
"W e think so, and are dead tired
of it. Some of us have heard of plans
already for raiding pecan orchards.
Boasts have been made that they
would not be caught, as they would
keep out spies. We are determined
to try to break up this thievery, we
are going to do a little spying our-
selves. Better look a little out “pe-
can stealers,” we hope to have the
aid of the officers and all, good citi-
zens. Respectfully,
