Senate Joint Resolution No. 16
This amendment is beyond a doubt
the most far reaching of any amend-
ment ever submitted in regard to tax-
ation. This amendment would change
the present Constitution so that the
Legislature could tax all property
both real and personal according to
its actual value. Under the present
Constitution there are certain class-
es of property which escape taxation
but if this amendment is adopted the
Legislature shall have the authority
to tax all tangible or intangible pro-

Discussion of Proposed Amendments
To The Constitution
There are eight proposed amend-
ments to our State Constitution to
be voted upon at the General Elec-
tion on November 6. These amend-
ments are of such importance "to all
the people of Texas that a careful
study should be made of them so
that they may be voted upon intel-

the amendments briefly and am giv-

these amendments if passed. i

156— 59.1 acres, improved; bargain at $15.00.
157— 80 acres improved, $20.00.
158— 132 acres, improved, $12.50.
159— 81 acres, improved, $17.50,
160— 40 acres, improved, $15.00.

167— 100 acres, improved, $15.00.
166— 34.8 acres, unimproved, at a bargain.
168— 175 acres, improved, $8.00.
We have full description of all of these farms, to-
gether with description of all other farms owned by the Fed-
eral Land Bank in East Texas. The terms on these farms
being 20 per cent cash and stretched out over a long period
of years, makes them very atttative to persons wanting to
</wn a home on convenient payments.
Titus County land is well adapted to fruits, vege-
tables, cotton and grain. Strawberries and potatoes have s
proven profitable in this section for’ many years. Ribbon
cane often produces from 500 to 800 gallons per acre. Dur-
ing the past year, due to the fact that much of the land in
jotner counties, which has .been planted in tomatoes for years,
hak become' infected, Titus County has gone into the toma-
to business in a very extensive and profitable way. Several
hundred acres were planted in tomatoes last Spring, and the
outlook for the coming year means more business for the
tomato growers here next year.
Farms are selling today at about 50 per cent of their
previous values, and are unquestionably the best investments
on earth rtoday. One can close his eyes in Titus County and
buy any fatm on the market, and feel safe of a nice profit
to be made on a re-sale in a very short time. “Back to the
Farm Movement”'is in the minds of the people and the
Federal Government is doing all in its power to make farm
life xnore attractive than ever before. The same land that
grew 5c cotton last year is growing 13c cotton this year.
How can farm prices remain as low as they are today?
Easy terms can be arranged on practically every
piece of property abvoa listed, and if you are in the
market to buy, sell or trade real estate, you will doubtless
find it to vour interest to communicate with us at once.
Within the past two weeks we have negotiated 5 sales,
the major portion of them being sold to out of town clients.
Although we advertise extensively in this paper, we also
adxertise in other papers in an attempt to bring new money
to Titus County. Results in this effort have proven entire-
ly satisfactory with us.
Not a day passes but what we have inquiries for farms
and town property. If you have real estate for sale and will
give us an exclusive listing of same, there will be no charge
loi making the listing, for getting your property handled un-
I less the sale is actually made. When sale is made, our com-
mission is 10 per cent of the list price.
We render a general real estate service and believe
that we can be of benefit to everyone interested in real es-
tate from the standpoint of buying, selling or trading. ,
