Out in DeWitt county the citizens
are proud to think of Charles T. Schwab
as one of their most valuable and cap-
able officials. Long and faithful serv-
ice as tax assessor has given to Mr.
Schwab the unique distinction of put-
ting the county on the map as far as
property assessments are concerned. He
was elected eighteen years ago to look
after the taxes of DeWitt county and
for nine consecutive terms succeeded
himself without sn opponent On Dec.
1 of last year he resigned voluntarily,
paving the way for another man to
carry on his work.
Since the enactment of the full ren-
dition tow, eight years ago, Mr. Schwab
has met the new conditions of re-
sponsibility imposed upon him in a
manner reflecting* credit upon himself
as a servant of the law and at the
some time without ai using the oppo-
sition or resentment of the taxpayers.
While other counties over the state
have been wrangling over tax values,
DeWitt county has been satisfied with
its work and workers. No citlsen in all
this time has registered complaint
about renditions of property and not
one single protest has been filed by the
taxpayers. Nor has any board of equal-
isation seen fit to make any alterations
whatever in any of the values fixed by
the assessor.
This achievement won for him not
only the confidence of his fellow cit-
Isens, but was recognised by others,
resulting in his election as president of
the State Tax Assessors association.
Governor James K. Ferguson also has
recognised his ability and appointed him
to represent Texas at the National Tax
Assessors convention, held recently.
Mr. Schwab is now connected with
the state department of agriculture, in
the branch devoted to the collection of
ginning statistics He stands well with
both ginners and officials of the de-
partment. He has the official position
