FORT WORTH, Tex. Dee. 12 After
spending u busy morning in the initial
section the members of the eleventh annual
convention of the Tux Assessors Association
t»f Texas, which convened at the Chamber
of Commerce Tuesday morning, gave the
afternoon over to pleasure and toured the
packing houses and live stock market In
two special street cars drawn up, which
received delegates in front of the Chamber
of Commerce.
At Wednesday's session, which will open
at 10 a. ui.. the relationship between the
duties of Commissioners Courts and the
Tax Assessors will be discussed as also
the needs of a State board of equalization
or a State tax commission. The latter
question was broached at Tuesday's ses-
sion.
Another question of special interest
scheduled for Thursday is that of assess-
ment of automobiles. It is contended by
some of the delegates that ^••v a year
or two of service, an automobile is rated
by its owner as below its actual value.
The advisability of taxing automobiles by
State license, as is the case in the ma-
jority of States of the Union, will also
probably be brought out.

NORFOLK, Va.. I>ec. 12.—The breaking
of ground for Fort Storey at Cape Henry,
prayers for the success peace offers
made by Germany aud her allies, the
tabling of a resolution favoring the dis-
tribution of the South's negro population
among the others States and an address by
Secretary of Labor Wilson were features
of today's activities of the Southern Com-
mercial Congress here.
Simple ceremonies marked the dedica-
tion of the site for the great laud de-
fense the Government proposes to erect
fo# the protection of Hampton Uoads. lial
timore and Washington.
The congress was in the midst of a dis-
cussion of the South's problems during
international reconstruction when Clarence
J. Owens, managing director, read an As-
sociated Press report from Berlin that
the Teutonic allies had proposed peace.
Cheers greeted the announcement. When
the demonstration subsided a delegate re-
quested that the chairman ask some one
to "invoke the blessing of the Prince of
Peace upon these negotiations to en ft
bloodshed."
W. L. I'pshaw of Atlanta offered the
prayer while the delegates stood with
bowed heads.

next convention is to be a three-cornereu
affair with Marllu. New Rraunfels and
San Angelo contending for the honor.
Other enterics may be made later, but
so far none besides the three mentioned
have been announced.
It Is likely that the state board of
equalization project, as advocaed by Tues-
day's speakers, will be recommended ami
a legislative committee appointed, to tak<
and by Joseph Hines.
Brown broached the matter of automobile
tax, discussion of which Js set for Thurs-
day, when he said that a State tax would
be a good way to meet the financial needs
of the highway commission, which must j
be created if Texas is to take advantage |
of the S.vmmhmi Government good roads j
aid offer. Judge Brown also made the
statement that the increasing ownership
of automobiles wt§ tending to lower the
values of real estate. A State hoard of
equalization was endorsed bv Judge Brown.
SAN ANTONIO MAN SPEAKS.
In the absence of L. <*. Bras well of Jas-
per County, Albert Huth of San Antonio
responded to the addresses of welcome.
He stated that this convention, Judging
from Us first session, will be the largest
of any in the history pf the association.
President John B. Haines of Grayson
County next made his annual address.
Two measures, one of which he endorse
and the other of which he condemned,
formed the features of his speech.
The single tax as too incomplete because
it taxes only real estate, was his chief
topic during the initial part of his speech.
"It taxes the homes of Texas which
should enjoy leniency if anything does,
and lets millions in the hanks go untaxed
together with uncounted personal wealth
of the big corporations." He pointed out.
"Thirty-six states have already Slate
Boards of Kqualiatlon and the lack of
such a board in this state has produced
miserable taxing conditions.
"Why should a county boundry line
alter the value of property which Is actu-
ally of the same value." he questioned.
"With the establishment of a state board
of equaiiation with annnal trips to all
Texas districts, property values will be
taken out of politics."
I. T. Valentine, state representative from
Fort Worth, stated that the bill for a
State Board of Lqualiaztion will pass if
supported by the assessors association.
He was one of the framers of the bill for
such a board. He stated that during the
six years since the passage of the full
rendition bill seventy three counties have
drawn from the State school fund nearly
five million dollars more than they paid
in, and 1 (V0 counties have paid in $13,000,-
000 more than they have withdrawn.
The need for Justice on the part of as
pessors in mukiug assessments was
brought out by J. W. Stewart chief clerk
in the Comptroller's Department.
"KKKl* TII K PUT ROILING:"

"Keep the pot boiling!'
This Is the slogan that will greet the
citizens of San Antonio this morning at
three street corners of the city when they
hurry to and from their business, duties
and pleasures, and remiud them that "char-

At Wolff & Marx's corner, at Avenue O

A dinner at the Original Mexican Uestau*

two classes entered the contest some weeks

would have to furnish a banquet to both
classes and all new members secured. The

About thirty-five men from the two

position to the proposed embargo on food-

of Congress. In a letter to J. A. Leach, of

with your views about this question of an
embargo on foods. There have been per-
iods of depression In recent years in which
wheat sold in Chicago, the great grain
market, for less than the cost of produc-
tion. Oats sold lu the same market at
11 Ui cents a bushel and corn was burned
in Iowa and Nebraska for fuel because it
was so cheap that its shipment and sale
In Chicago would not pay freight charges,

Interspersing this treat of claslc repro-

lieved the more aesthetic atmosphere as
well as a number of classic dances by some
of Sau Antonio's gifted artists. One of
the most enjoyable numbers was the dame

of the day. full hoop skirt, with panto-
