THE- RICE CROP

Of Texas Has Been Nearly All Hzr-

The rice harvesting season In Texas Is
now about over and practically the entire
crop of both Honduras' and Japan iins
moved-to cover. Tills marks a new 'rec-
ord for carllness and was made possible
by the very favorable weather conditions
which prevailed almost . uninterruptedly
from the opening- fit the present close
of the' season. In some localities the
quality of the cereal la not up to what
It was last year which fact Is attributed
to dry weather during the' heading sea-
son but on the whole the crop has
reached storage In excellent condition
and practically none of the crop .has
gone to waste.
The acreage planted to rice In this State
the present year Is estimated at 283000
acres which is a few thousand acres In
excess of the previous year. The average
yield however has not been so good. A
conservative estimate places the acreage
of Japan at one-fourth the total and of
Honduras three-fourths.
IN STOKAGK IN TKXA8.
Early in the present month The Post
addressed Inquiries to the various mills
and warehouses In an effort to ascertain
the total amount of Honduras rice then
o"n storage. Replies were received from
only about one-half of the storage houses
addressed. Those replying reported fig-
ures which showed a total of about 700000
bags of Honduras alone. Since then jthe
remainder of the Honduras together with
practically the whole of the Japans as
previously stated has moved Into storage.
On the basis of these reports together
with such additional information as we
have been enabled to gather respecting
the yield The Post feels justified in plac-
ing it at approximately 2.123.000 bags of
witch 1.484.000 bus are Honduras and 639.-
000 bags Japan. Of the total crop of both
Honduras and Japan a conservative es-
timate places the amount already sold at
approximately 4000'tt bags leaving In stor-
age and still unsold about 1823000 bags.
MISSISSIPPI RIVER CROP.
In view of the fact. that the yield of
Mississippi rice this season has been
practically double what It usually Is
and this rice Is first to move into con-
sumption the Texas market has been
slow In adjusting Itself to a stable basis
and appreciating the fact that the yield
in this State la less than It was last year
the farmers have felt Justified in with-
holding their stocks from the market at
present prices hence the few sales which
have occurred in this portion of the belt
as compared with previous years. In
addition to the heavy yield of Mississippi
river rice which the market has been
steadily absorbing there was carried over
from last year's crop about 600000 bags
which has also been moving into con-
sumption and has therefore helped in de-
pressing the market.
HOLDERS ARE FIRM.
During the past few months a vigor-
ous campaign has been carried on
throughout the country to educate the
people to the superior value of rice as a
healthy nutrltloua and cheap food In
comparison with other foods to which
they have been accustomed . and It'U be-
lieved that this educational campaign will
result In materially increasing the de-
mand for the cereal. Hence the holders
of present stocks are firm in the belief
that when the carry-overs and the river
stocks prevlouslv referred to are out of
the way. the market will advance to the
minimum fixed by them early In the sea-
son. In the meantime Jobbers who have
been long in the business and who have
heretofore been able to forecast the fu-
ture of the market pretty accurately con-
fess themselves very much sea as te
what will be the ultimate basis of values
at which the crop will move into con-
sumption. RICE EECEIPTS AT CE0WLEY.

CROWLEY. La.. October 27. Revised
figures of the Crowley rough rice receipts
show that no to October 38 the mills
have received 242.566 hacks and the ware-
houses contained on that date 130.U00
Racks making the total Crowley receipts
of rough rice to October 26 372665 .sacks.
While the crop practically la all under
cover. It is not yet all In the mills and
public warehouses it la estimated that
the Crowley receipts will amount to at
least 100000 more and the final receipts
probably will aggregate half a million
sacks. The harvest -has been the best on
record and with the exception of the
storm of September 21 the weather has
been uniformly favorable for harvesting
and threshing. The mill yields are lighter
than usual especjally in Japan rice the
quality of which was hurt by shortage In
water supply and by the equinoctial
storm. More rice . ha been- marketed
than In anv previous year at this date.
All the local mills are running full time
and several are running time and a half.

WACO Texas October 27. Congress-'
rnan tC L. Henry Is now touring his
district making speeches-' He spoke at
Eddy yesterday In the main he d'-
cussed current ' fluestions In about the
same manner heretofore reported out he
made altogether new suggestions whicn
have not heretofore been presented.
He remarked: .'The question ts fre-
quently asked 'If you put trust-controlled
articles on the free list what.wni
become of the revenue being raised" for
such artlelesT" '
His answer was to this effect:
"When we put the products of the trust
of the free list then we will lay a spe-
cial excise tax upon the backa of tlie
constituent corporations Joint stock com-
panies associations and members of the
offending trust. The American people
have determined to outlaw the trusts and
banldh them from the republic and the
most effective method Is to put thoir
products upon the free list and expo.io
them to the competition of the worlt.
Then we can levy this special excise tax
upon each one of the corporations and
constituent members belonging to the
trust. The supreme court holds such
tax to be constitutional. There la no
legal or constitutional explanation to it.
STEEL TRCBT'S GREAT EARN1NOH.
He Illustrated bis point by referring to
the fact that the United States West
corporation and trust has a capital stock
outstanding of . 1.605-M9.Si8. and Is com-
posed of many constituent corporations
companies partnerships and associations.
Its gross sales In one year were S896.666.-
S26 01 The company has 202467 employes.
It pays them In that year H7766500 and
bUII had left In net earnings that vast
um and nearly 110000.000 more. Its net
earnings for the year amounted to -624
278.18. The total import duties col-
lected in one year from steel Iron pm
iron and Iron ore. amounted to
He said a tax of per cent on the net
ealns of the steel corporation would
amount to more than these import duties
collected from Iron stee . pig f(
Iron ores. jVfter collecting the Bpeclal
ese tax of more than $S MO 000 f rom
the net earnings of the steel trust they
would still have left $147000000 net ptof-
lts In each year.
He argued that the supreme court lias
declared that "the power to tax Is the
power to destroy." and that while this
power should never be abused yet It is
legitimate to utilize It as a weapon to de-
stroy and outlaw the criminal trusts of
the country. He declared he would lib-
erally apply the taxing power as a lasli
to the great trust offenders and would
not only tax them 1 per cent but 6 per
cent or 10 per cent of their net profits
necessary to raise the revenues relin-
quished by adding trust controlled prod-
ucts to the free list and to drive them
Into an obedience to the law. He would
lav this tax so heavllv upon them as to
destroy the. trust combinations and crim-
inal conspiracies.
PRISON FOR TRUST MASTERS.
In addition to this he 'would amend
the statutes and make It a felony to or-
ganise or execute a trust and place in
the penltenUary all the trust masters and
offenders in thW country who defy the
law. He fully demonstrated that there
would be no loss of revenue to the gov-
ernment because there is a remedy In
the taxing power of the government by
laying a special excise tax upon the
trusts and .corporations as frequently an-
nounced by the supreme court. He ar-
gued that this method could be applied
to the Standard Oil trust the sugar trust
the International harvester trust and all
the other great trusts of the country. In
such a way as to completely annihilate
them with the taxing power of the gov-
ernment. The trusts organised in this
country since the passage of the Dlngley
bill in 1S97 have a combined capital
stock of more than $9000000000 and a
tax of 10 per cent of their net earnings
would bring In more than $2000000.

TEMPLE. Texas October 27. Engineer
B. R. Lester was killed and two others
Injured in a wreck or the San Aneglo
branch of the Santa Fe about 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon when westbound extra
freight engine No. 6?6 ran Into work train
engine No. 7S7 at Yellow Curve about
five miles west of Temple. The extra
freight was running at a high rate of
speed when it crashed into the work train
and Engineer Lester of No. 06 was
caught in the wreck. Fireman Pitts
jumped and escaped with a broken leg
and some minor injuries. Engineer Bob
Sherwood of. the work train waa lightly
injured but not seriously.
The caboose on the work train was
conipleteely telescoped by the tender 'of
the engine and engine No. 69C was tele-
scoped by engine No. 787. Eight box cars
from the extra freight are plied high on
top of both engines. Besides the loss of
one life and two others being Injured the
property loss to the company will be very
heavy and It will be some time before
the wreck can be eleareVl.
The wrecker la now on th secne but
traffic will be delayed for Borne time. The
collision seems- due. to some misunder-
standing but the responsibility has not
yet been placed. Passenger trains are
being detoured over the Katy to Belton
thence over the Santo Fe west.

. $5.00 Petticoat for $3.98
IF we cared to brag here is a subject that would inspire the strongest of words surely! '
And what might we not say? But our friends who have teen them and bought them
are saying it for us and that's finer and in much nicer taste. Haven't you already heard
of the fame of the Levy Silk Petticoats at $3.98? If not then we'll dwell a little on the
details. .
To begin with they are of an excellent piece of silk. No better quality ever went into
a petticoat at $5.00. They are chic as a silk petticoat should be. . And there was no
bungling in the art that made them. They fit perfectly about the hips where a perfect
smoothness is so important. They have a tucked flounce with scalloped accordion pleat-
ing. Colors are black red navy raisin tan green Copenhagen rose gray brown wis-
taria and in the delicate evening shades. There's ryot a single detail but what sounds a
challenge to the most critical woman. And the test" of wear will confirm your first im-
pressions. '
There is only IZp in the lot and when they're gone it's doubtful if we can get any more
to sell at this price. You couldn't spend $5.00 in any other store in the State (fj QO
