EQUALIZATION
IS ADVOCATED
Austin, Tex., Jan. 6.---The crea-
tion of a state equalization boarl
will be advocated at the coming
:session of the legislature by State
Senator Jamnes A. Marley of Se-
giun. He is now said to be pre-
paring a bill on this subject which
he will introduce in the senate.
Efforts have been made at pre-
vious sessions of the Texas Leg-
lature toward the enactment of a
law creating such a board, but
proved unsuccessful. Senator Har-
ley believes that such t board
would be of, great value to the
state in equalizing the value of
land assessed for taxation.
It is pointed out that in one
county htndd ?m- he assessed at
one half of its value and in the
adjoining county the owners are
assessed at two-thirds of its value
on the same class of land. This
board would also relieve county
commissioners who constitute
County boards of equalization, of
the task of placing values on all
lands.
AUTO WRECK
DRIVER HURT
Another auto wreck occurred
one mile wvst of town early this
morning on the Roscoe road, when
the new five passenger Ford Jit

turned over and knocked Mr. Ma
shall unconscious for the time be
mg.
The driver was coming in with
a passenger, ,amed Bradshaw, t
catch the early train and was mak.
lug goo4i speed as he made th
sudden turn in the road. In an in
stant the car was on its back with
both occupants under it. Fortun-
Mely the top was up when the ca
turned, which probably is the only
thing that saved the two men from
being killed.
Mr.-Bradshaw crawled from un-
der the jitney and succeeded i
getting Marshall out also, although
the latter was unconscious and re
mained so for about thirty minu
tes. As soon as he came to him
self, Marshall drove his car on in
t) Sweetwater, after the twome
had turned it back over.
Tre driver was taken to the of
fice of Dr. C. W. Watson and-it
was found that he was badly brui
ed about the head and face.
The auto had bl)n in use bu
ten days and was still able to run
although the top was badly wreck
4d. ...
The accident this morning wa

of town, where the big Maxwel
car turned over during the wate
carnival about 1. months ago.

Dallas, Jan. 6.-Vaccinating a
negro abiiinst his own will when
se declares he has no symptom of
smallpox and thinks le is in no
danger of an attack by it is the
latest exploit of Dallas police of-
ficers.
Yesterday a small car from the
police station bearing two police-
men and a young physician stop-
ped in front of a negro house n
East Main street. The three alight
ed front the car and walked into
the house loudly declaring their in
tention of vaccinating the whole
household, although for what reas-
on the action was being taken was
quite unknown to the inhabitants
of the house, since there was no
evidence of smallpox anywhere in
the neighborhood.
About that time a negro seated
on the front porch, who did not
reside at -the house, but who had
merely stopped for a call, thought
it4igh tise-tu leave .1Le-wrstop
ped by the offices and told that
he had to wait and be vaccinated,
whereupon lie told them that he
did not live there, and that further
more lie had had the smallpox and
was therefore immune from it.
\V hen the officers enterd the
I house he lost no time in making his
departure.
Some minuteslater he was over
taken on Elm street by the auto-
mobile carrying the officers and
the physician, and there on the
sidewalk, before a large -number
of persons who had gathered a-
round in curiosity, the sleeve of
the terrified negro was rolled up
and, while the officers held him,
the physician administered the vac
eine to his arm.
The trio then jumped into their
automobile and departed, leaving
the negro on the sidewalk with
his armn unbandaged and filled
with apprehension lest his condi-
tion would prevent him fron work
ing.
WHIT BRAND UNDER-
GOES OPERATION
Whit Brand underwent another
operation this week when sever-
al inches of the bone in his right
arm were removed.
