CAUSES Of CRIME.-Dr Blanchard
fosgate, for many years physician to the
State Prison at Auburn, and one of the
most eminent medical men of New York
has recently issued pamphlet entitled
Urine and Punishment" which is yvor-
thy Of good deal more attention than It
Is likely to get. DIR. Fosgate, who has
made the Causes of crime a study. has
found that besides rum and ignorance
there are others quite as potent and prey
alent. de enumerates among these the
following:
The cheap literature of the day. spread
broadcast over the land, minisierinr TO a
depraved sensibility, or the appetite Of
mere mental dissipation.
The periodical issue Of those corGeops
plates OF fashion, which, among a people
VINO regard equality in outward adornment
as the evidence Of social position, stimu-
ulate desire for dress, to CRAFTY which
health, wealth, and virtue are too often
sacrificed
Prison Discipline Societies publishing
prison bills of fare, that, leaving pauper life
unnotIced, make even the well-to-do mar
vel at the grade Of living furnished the
criminal, thus making plenty appear to
the destitute as the reward of crime.
Legislative attempts to advance through
penal enactments, reforms that pertain to
individual conscience only, thereby goad-
Ing resistance TO law and order.
The administration of oaths innumera-
bic, in reference to almost every business
transaction Of private life, has we'll nigh
absorbed Omniscience in the person Of the
revenue official, fast barterino their soten-
nifty for lucre or immunity .gainst penal
statutes,
Secularizing the pulpit, making earthly
schemes instead of heavenly aspirations
the objects of its mission. thereby losing
hold on the mystic cord that binds man to
his Maker, and through the tightening of
which lis moral sensibility is exalted, and
accountability to his fellow mortal and his
God alone adjusted.
Many honest people viii be startled TO
find abolition preaching, test-oaths, and
Maine liquor laws, classed along with ar
dent spirits and obscene books, as causes
of crime. Bot it does not detract from
the value Of the truths stated by Dr. Fos-
gate that great part of his fellow-citi-
zens are yet IN ignorance of them.

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

In pursuance to law the State Board of
Equalization met in this city on Monday
of this week and are still in session.. AT
the time of going to press We can give
but an approximation to the footings.
The aggregate of taxable property in the
State subject TO taxation, will 'not-vary
great deal from fifty Eve million of dol
lars, upon which the State will realize
into the general fund at the per centsge
levied last winter about 1920, 900. This
is $4,000 more than. last year. The -tax-
able property of the State has Increased
about sixty per cent. in the last year.
The State Board has not altered the as
sessments materially except in Leayen-
worth, Douglas and Wyandotte counties.
In the16rst two named they have raised
the valuation and lowered it in Wyan-
dotte county. Il will be reeOllected that
The Auditor of State in his last report es-
timated the taxable property of the State
at sixty million of dollars under the pres
ent revenue law. It is now evident that
if all the counties had been as rigidiy as
sessed as some of them have it would
have amounted to that sum.
The Auditor, last winter, urged the
Legislature to send some one to Wash
ington 10 procure a list of the Indian
lands that have been sold, 30 that they
could be taxed this year. II it had been
done it would have added to the general
revenue at least $4,000. AS yet, be has
only been able 10 procu re partial list of
the Sac and Fox lands that have been sold
although be has been promised full lists
from Washington over and over again.
These lands are mostly in the, bands of
office Folders aud others who have suf-
ficieut influence to keep back the iists, and
thus escape taxation. The Auditor still
has the promise of lhe'lists in time to
collect taxes from The lands, but he has
been promised SO often that he does mot
much expect that he will get them.--TO-
