TAX BUDGET COMPLETED.
Propelty Values Increase in Matagorda
County.
County Assessor Dan Moore, and
assistant assessor, J. H. Selkirk,
have compiled the tax budget fur
Matagorda county for the year 1011
and have given same out tor publi-
cation. It is an interesting bundle
of figures and shows the condition
of the county to be healthy and on a
tubslatilial footing. Many of the
items as compared with the year
previous nre interesting in that they
show the growth of the county along
the respective lines noted in the
increase of values.
As reported in the budget the
State adynlorem tax amounts to
5r, 1S.020.2S and the amount which
goes to the school is $25,01)4 63. The
county advaiorem foots up $22,585.-
96, the county special lax $49,687.49
and the district school tax $7,733.38.
The total amount of money of all
these departments is $123,721.71
The present rate of taxation is,
State advaiorem 12 1-2 cents, State
school 16 2-3, total 29 1-6. For the
county the advaiorem is 15 cents
and the special tax 33, a total of 48
cents on the $100 valuation. This
gives the county proper a total tax
rate, for both county and State, of
77 1-6 a reduction from that of last
year, despite the fact of the great,
increase in the State tax rate. How-
ever, in portions of the county a
drainage tax of 30 cento augumente
the total rate and shows it to be
$1.07 1-6.
An interesting comparison is
shown in the land values as rendered
and uuretidered. On the rendered
■ caldera I roll there arc 366,933 acres
with a valuation of $3,006,560, while
the non-resident roll contains 197,-
457 acres which are valued at $1,-
671,660, over one-third of the amount
owned by resident tax payers. The
unrendered roll shows to contain
124,640 acres with a valuation uf
$1,267,530. The railroads of the
county pay taxes on $3,605,275
worth of property.
The bank stocks of . the county
have increased enormously, a con-
siderable amount of which is due to
a change in the method of rendering
the property. In 1910 they appear-
ed on the rolls of the county with
an assed value of $69,670, while for
1911 they appear to have a taxable
worth of $273,480. Some of the in-
crease is due to the fact that the
State banka are assessed this year
by the county and were not last
year. The increase in this item Js

The decrease in the number of cat-

About the Split Log Drag.
The Texas Commercial Secretaries
and Business Men’s Association has
just completed an inventory of the
split log drags being used in Texas
and the report shows that 656 drags
are now in operation in the State.
The largest number of drags being
used in any one County is fifty in
Kaufman County, while McLennan
County shows forty-five and Collin
forty drags in operation in each coun-
ty. The average cost of operating a
drag in Texas is .$3.20 per mile per an-
num, tho the expense varies in diff-
erent sections of the State, accordil
to the condition of tho road. The%
are fifty-four counties in the State inj
which the drags are being operated,
but the drag is rapidly extending its
territory. In some instances the
drags arc built and operated at the
expense of tire County, but in many
cases they are furnished and operated
by tiie farmers of the community.
The report shows further that the
average cost of constructing a drag is
85.00 and that the drags are used a
few uaj s after rain. Expresssions
from the different County Judges in
drags are
the sections where these
used, commend them as being highly
i.atisfaciory ns road makers. The
drags cover 7,000 miles of road,
leaving 133,000 miles of undragged
roads.

The Borrowed Dollar.
LION. PETER RADFORD
President of the Farmers’ Union of
Texas. Fori Worth, Texas
Debt lias been pictured by many
writers ns a hard taskmaster and the
borrowed dollar is the most abused of
currency, but it is nevertheless a de-
velopment dollar, as it possesses vol-
ume and activity, two of the most im-
portant factors in our progress to a
greater degree than any other form of
legal tender. When in the hands of
operators not familiar with its pur-
poses and habits, it sometimes creates
havoc and ruin, but it lias rescued
many a sinking enterprise, lias per-
formed deeds of industrial heroism
end it has heon the burden bearer of
industry.
No man or animal possesses the
active instincts of the borrowed dol-
lar. When in bad hands it quickly
returns to its owner or moves rapidly
on through the channels of trade un-
til it finds a competent hand to guide
it where it can glorify its creator
without being railed at by incompe-
tent owners or incapable directory. It
bas fought our battles, built our cities
and developed the industry and com-
merce of the country. During times
of prosperity efforts have been made
to drive it from circulation but dur-
ing adversity, we send emissaries
to plead for its return and it is
sought after by every important en-
terprise in the country.
Idle dollars, like idle men, are no
good to a community but the charge
of vagrancy can never be made
against the benwrser - dollar.. > No
m- wiii borrow money and lot ii
tdle. Idleness is its mortal foe and
is certain destruction. The borrowed
dollar must move rapidly on its
journey and return heavily laden
with the fruits of its toil or it will
perish. No other form of currency,
possesses such compelling forces of
activity as the borrowed dollar.
We are already heavy borrowers.
No accurate figures axe available, but
?stimutes furnished by county clerks,
bankers and other reliable sources,
justify the following estimate:

An effort to separate the borrowed
dollar as between home and foreign
proved futile, ultho it is important
information in this disuc.ssion.
The borrowed foreign dollar is the
most constructive dollar on the finan-
cial horizon, as it combines activity
and volume and brings new money

Exhibition of Texas Products.
The Texas Commercial Secre-

tion is planning to have an exhibit
of Texas products, minerals, soils,
maps, etc , showing the gieatness
of Texas, displayed at the “South-
ern Exhibit Hall” which is being
arranged in Washington by the
Southern Commercial Congress.
It is estimated by the Congress
that 200,000 sight seers visit Wash-
ington annually and the visitors
come from ail otaten in the Union
and from all countries on the globe,
and the Congress has conceived the
idea of fastening the attention of the
visitors upon the South and its op-
portunities .
Cuban Sugar.
The Biitish steamer, Indianapo-
lis, which arrived in (jalveston last
week from Havana, brought the
sixth sugar cargo that has been re-
ceived at this port for the Sugarland
Refineries during the past few
months.
. The cargo consisted of 20,000
®rrbags of sugar, valued at approxi-
mately $300,000, and after being
weighed and sampled, the sugar
will be shipped to Sugarland to be
refined.
Every ship that comes to Galves-
ton loaded with sugar affords cheap-
er rates back to Cuba for Texas pro-
ducts, such as rice, packing house
products, cotton seed oil, cattle,
flour, corn food-stuffs, stock food
and a gitat many other products.
This instance illustrates one of
the many benefits which accrue to
the people of Texas by having large
manufacturing concerns located in
the State, and one of the greatest
encouragemeuts that can be given a
firm is to patronize its ptoducts.

Advantages of Keeping One’s Money
at Home Explained Clearly.
Thousands of articles have becD
written on home patronage the past
few years, and perhaps hundreds of
thousands more articles will appear in
the public press, nucl then the people
will keep right on sending to some dis-
tant place for goods. The nverage
man tukes the position that ho earns
his money and has the right to spend
it where he pleases. This is true. But
it Is not tho best policy. The secret of
the growth and wealth of a commu-
nity lies In keeping in home circulation
all the earnings of the people and mak-
ing as far as possible other places con-
tiibiffeM toward its wealth. But the
man who'sefids to the mall order house
says: “What’s' the difference? I send
away $80 and get tht^ame amount of
goods that the home merchant'supplies'
me fpr $100. Only difference is that I
have the 20 per cent profit in my pock-
et instead of the merchant, and is the
community made any the poorer?’’ This
kind of reasoning has stumped many
an advocate of home patronage. So-
phisttcally the argument la all right, but
in fact nnd praetieableness is entirely
wrong. It is the employment of people
In a community that is its life. Should
every resident of a farming district
send away for goods there would be
little to support the homo town. The
home town is a factor in fixing the
farm values, in sustaining good schools
and churches, and gives a home mar-
ket. Surely the farmer who sends
away and perhaps savc3 10 or 35 per
cent on his purchase thinks that the
community is none the worse off and
that he is ahead, but ho is not, and the
whole community suffers because of
employment of service in the transac-
tion being elsewhere. Tho home peo-
ple are robbed of employment so neces-
sary to their existence.
THE PEOPLE’S PROPERTY.
Therefore Places of Natural Beauty
Should Not Be Destroyed.
It has come to be regarded ns set-
tled that places of great natural beau-
ty or striking attractiveness properly
belong to all the people. Tliero seems
to be n very general feeling, quite
marked of late years, that such spots
are the common heritage of all tho
people, and if outside the permanent
public domain they must be purchased
and set aside for public use and enjoy-
ment for all time.
Granting that the perpetual right to
natural beauty is tho inheritance of
all the people, wo may argue that oil
wells, billboards and ugly guildlngs
nnd other structures mny bo sup-
pressed or destroyed in the Interests
of common good to nil. Wo do not
hold those men to be good citizens who
will needlessly mnr our landscapes or
wantonly destroy natural beauty spots
that give richness and character to
our landscapes.
For Better Cities.
Does not the cause of the failure of
good government in our great towns
nnd cities find Its root In the civic neg-
lect of the better class of male voters?
They do things better oversea. In
England, for the last forty years, wo-
men have had the right to vote at
municipal elections. As a conse-
quence Englishwomen take an active
part iu town nnd city affairs. It is
recognized that politics, in its larger
sense, is a household affair. Con-
temporaneously with the broadening
of tho suffrage there has followed a
vast improvement in the quality of
municipal government in England.
Englishwomen have been made cl,
glblo to election for tho highest munic-
ipal offices.

It’s a mighty dry season when the

reports at the Berthold reservation
covering the past five years show ex-
treme summer temperatures ranging
from 102 degrees to 107 degrees and
extreme winter temperatures ranging
from 22 degrees to 43 degrees below
zero. Tho largest rainfall during any
one of the five years was 10.06 inches,
the heaviest precipitation being in the
months of May and June. Tho mini-
mum annual rainfall was 9.51 Inches,
the average for the five years being
14.79 inches. Observations made in
the vicinity of the Pine Ridge and
Rosebud tracts show maximum sum-
mer temperature ranging from 101
degrees to 104 degrees, while the ex-
treme winter temperatures ranged
from 17 degrees to 25 degrees below

DOES THE FINE
TYPEWRITING of the WORLD
A BOSS FLY TRAP.
A friend, who is a grocer and has a
fly problem on his hands in a very
real sense, has devised a trap for de-
stroying the pests wholesale. It is so
description of it for thei~6enefif~ of
those who havo the same problem to
contend with. Our friend has simply
adopted the principle of the little wire
screen cage trap, which has an invert-
ed conical Inlet for the flies extending
upward from the base, where a bait
of sweetened water or other stuff is
put to draw the files. Applying this
principle, ho has taken a common
sugur barrel, replaced the top with a
cover of wire screen, sawed a hoie
twelve Inches in diameter in the cen
ter of the bottom and into this insert-
ed a cone made of wire screen, having
a diameter at the base equal to the
hole in the barrel and an aperture at
the smaller end about three-quarters
of an inch across. When thus fixed
and made fly tight, except for the in-
let, the barrel should be pluced on
some support which will raise it from
the ground a few Inches so that a bait
of some kind can bo placed beneath
to draw the first files. When a good-
ly number of files have been trapped
their very buzzing will attract other
flies from all directions. Our friend
tells us that he emptied one of these
traps ten times within a day or two
recently, and he estimates that he de-
stroyed three solid pecks of flies in
that time. He holds the trap over a
blaze of kerosene, nnd that fixes ’em.
He further says that when he dumps
the flies into the alley the neighbors’
chickens eat them up clean. Here
would seem to be a tiptop method of
getting rid of an insufferable summer
pest and at tho same time furnishing
the poultry with needed insect food.
Such a trap would be a blessing, not
only to grocers, but to housewives in
town and country.
STOCK FOODS.
A stock food the writer saw adver-
tised in a pretty reputable agricultural
paper the other day claimed to “double
the mlllc and butter when fed to jnilk
cows and to fatten hogs and beef cat-
tle in forty days’ less time than usual-
ly required.” There ure Just two
classes of elements which these stock
foods contain which entitle them to
any consideration at all — namely,
ground alfalfa and grains In some
form and, on the other hand, tonics
such ns salt, spices nnd roots. The
real food content can be bought vastly
cheaper when not disguised under a
fancy name and wrapper, nod the
snme is true of most of the tonic ele-
ments of such prepared foods. Tn n
series of feeding experiments made by
one agricultural college recently it was
found that a pen of fattening pigs thnt
were given rations of some of the lend-
ing stock foods did not make as rapid
gains ns did those thnt were not given
any at all and no more of other foods.
In view of such a showing. It Is sufe
lo brand aueh claims as the above as
bosh pure nnd simple, and the feeder
who bites at such u bait is also simple
