What is value and how, with any
degree of accuracy, are we to arrive
at it for purpose of taxation? No
one knows, preci-stly, in any par-
ticular case, nor in most cases even
approximately. Generally in our tax
laws we use the term “cash or true
value.’’ And yet neither of these rep-
resent more than an appproximation
because based entirely upon opinion.
“Exchange Value’’ has an even less
definite meaning. One person may
be willing to put more money back
of his judgment than would another.
One may consider that investment in
property is the most important
thing. Another may look upon its
earning capacity as the sole guide.
Certainly no rule of thumb computa-
tion is applicable in all cases.
Value, in the sense of its relation
to the price in money which might
ordinarily be obtained at private sale,

upon the one hand, and a purchaser j

of a drouth, especially at planting
time. A good seed bed and thor-
oughly decomposed vegetation are
very effective means of stimulating
rapid plant growth while plants are
young, thereby causing plants, and
especially cotton, to mature early.
Thorough cultivation and poison-
ing are very important factors to be
considered after the cotton crop has
been planted, but the most outstand-
ing phase of our 1926 farming pro-
gram is breaking the land before
January 1 and preferably within the
next two months—the sooner the
better.
There are thousands of insects, es-
pecially boll weevils, that will feed
upon cotton plants and other vege-
tation in your field until frost and
then go into hibernation in good con-
dition which will mean that there
will be a large percentage of the in-
sects that go into hibernation this
fall that will emerge in the spring
to begin their destruction of the 1926
crop—at the expense of the general
public. If cotton stalks and other
vegetation are plowed under the food
supply for boll weevils and other in-
sects will be cut off and this will
mean that these insects will go into
hibernation in poor condition,
there will be a very small per cent
of them that will live through the
winter and emerge in the spring.
During the winter months all fence
rows, ditches and other places that
make desirable places for insects to
hibernate should be burned over. In
this way the insect problems for the

should visit their neighbor’s
$1.50. where fall plowing has been
■ ticed and discuss the advantages of
: this method of cultivation and the
actual value in dollars and cents.
There are many advantages to
early fall plowing, but some of the
most important phases to be consid-
ered at this time are: “Increase the'
yield, destroy insects, increase the'
fertility of the soil, increase the hu-' sftare jn ft
to benefit at the expense of others.
We must work togethei’ and profit
together.
All branches of economic activity
are inter-dependent. We need pros-
perous farmers and wage earners be-
cause these influential and produc-
tive factors of our population must
earn adequately in order to purchase
responsively the goods and services
rest of us have to offer. We need
prosperous railroads because no
other kind can render efficient serv-
ice essential to the carrying on of
other lines of business. In fact the
complex economic system under
which we deal with one another re-
quires of its componest parts, both
corporations and individuals, an un-1
selfishness of purpose commonly
characterized by the expression,—
“Live and let live.”
It is needless to say that the prin-
ciple enunciated in the above quoted
paragraphs is basic. It is axiomatic.
The whole fabric of intelligently or-
ganizezd and soberly conducted so-
ciety is based upon it,—provided so-
ciet" is truly alert and democratic.

The intelligent buyer, more partic-

concerned about overhead charges.
As an intelligent buyer he will under-
stand that tax accruals operate as a
first lien and must be paid before
net return begins and that the great-
er the tax levy the less will be his
net income. When by reason of in-
creasing tax imposts, or other ele-
ments absorbing income, net pro-
ceeds are so reduced as to effect
property as a capital investment, re-
ducing its earning power to an un-
attractive margin, careful investors
will do precisely what the rest of us
in like circumstances would do,—■
look elsewhere for more stable and
less hazardous opportunities.
It follows naturally that were taxes
kept within reasonable bounds and
the constant threat of tax gouging
definitely removed, property would
