Str. DISPATCH
Texas Small Tarma.
Of Interest to All.
New Viceroy of India.
Note and Comment.
But a few years ago we heard
much about the danger that lay in
the acquisition of large landed
estates under the ownership of the
private individual or the real estate
syndicate. The changes have been
rung time and again on the decad­
ence of the small farmer and the
development of the landlord—non­
resident in many instances—with
his thousands, if not tens of thou­
sands of acres. And in truth some
fifteen or twenty years ago it looked
as if there were some warrant for
alarm from this score. In what is
now known as the Middle West, in
the South and the Southwest, veri­
table empires were fenced in under
one ownership, and valuable land
for tillage was kept out of use to
the detriment of the common weal.
It was apparent for a time that the
evil would grow rather than dimin­
ish, but such has not proved the
fact.
Texas has owned six million acres
of lands, which have been under
lease to great cattle corporations
for grazing purposes.
The leases
have expired and Texas has decided
to sell the land, instead of releasing
it.
Division of these tracts has
been made, and they will be placed
on the market next month at the
the price of one dollar an acre. Not
alone in Texas, but in the states of
the Middle West and in other
states which border the Gulf, the
same general movement of the di­
vision of larger bodies of land for
the creation of the small farm and
the advent of tho small farmer has
been going on for some time.
So
notable has this been that we may
safely say the apparent danger from
the large landed estate is rapidly
passing away.
Every student of economical fact
will see in this movement as it is il­
lustrated in the Texas division of
land the manifestation of American
common sense which may be relied
upon to save us from extremes in
any direction.
In California, in
Texas, in Colorado, in Dakota, there
has been abundant evidence to the
effect that the princely domain, as
we were wont at times to refer to
the grain ranch or the cattle range
that was measured by miles, and
not by acres, was depriving the
community of what it might pos­
sess if there were many owners of
smaller tracts.
It required no argument to show
that the counhry would be the
richer under the ownership system
by the enhancement in land values
from cultivation, by the value of
the improvement which would fol­
low, by schools and churches, anil
new centers of commercial activity
which would come as a matter of
course with tho greater number of
people which the land would sup­
port. In other words, it has come
to be the recognized fact that the
small farm adds to the wealth of
the state and the Nation: and in
stinctivejy the American has turned
to that which in general results
will give him the best return.—
Telegram.
We gi»e the following from our
late laws enaoted at the last session
of the legislature, which is of gen­
eral interest to the people and
should be thoroughly understood
by each and every householder:
Section 3. It shall be the duty
of all physicians, accouchers or mid­
wives in the State to report to the
secretary of the board of health of
the city or county in which they
may occur, all births and deaths
and shall immediately report con­
tagious diseases as are specified by
the State board, which may occur
under their supervision, with a cer­
tificate of the cause of death, and
such correlative facts as may be re­
quired in the blank forms furnished
by the State Board of Health.
When any birth or death may occur
with no physician, accoucher or
midwife in attendance, then euch
birth or death shall be reported by
the householder where or under
whose supervision such birth or
death occurred, with the cause of
death, if such be known.
Any
death coming under the jurisdiction
or supervision of any coroner shall
be by him reported to the secretary
of the board of health of the city or
oounty in which such death may o c­
cur, within three days after death
for burial purposes, and such deaths
so reported shall not be required to
be reported by any other person.
No undertaker, sexton or other per­
son shall bury any human body un­
til he has received a permit to do
so from the county or city health
officer or some duly appointed dep­
uty. No such permit shall be is­
sued until there has been delivered
to such health officer or deputy a
certificate of death according to the
form prescribed by the State Board
of Health.
In the event of any
burial without a permit, as herein
provided, the coroner of the county
wherein such illegal burial was
made may disinter the body, hold
an inqueBt and, within three days
thereafter, make a return of his
findings to the nearest local health
officer.
London, Aug, 21.— The Indian
office announces the resignation of
Lord Curzon of Keddleston as
Vioery of India, and the appoint­
ment ofthe Earl of Minto as his
successor. Cruzon's resignation is
thejresult ofcorrespondence between
the viceroyand the Indian office
over the re-organization of the
army in India and the appointment
of Lord Hitchner as commander-
in-chief of the forces in India. The
immediate cause of the resignation
was the refusal of the cabinet to
appoint Major-General Sir Edmund
Barrow who was recommended by
Cruzon.as military supply members
of the council.
