Wo publish this morning tho reply Of Mr.
Hunter, a member Of tho State Board Of Equal-
tzatton, to tho argumeut Of Mr. r, r. Derrick
son in respect to tho taxation Of capital atock.
Alr. Hunter spoke to tho amopdnont which pro-
poses G5, instoad Of DO, por cont as tho valua-
tion on which stock shall bo taxed In tho future,
but ho diyerged from this question to moro
vital iBsue. Ho bold TINT tho Board is already
Obliged by law to make no determinations In
valuations aa botweon intlividuala aud cor
porations; and that the Board is COM
pol1ed to tux stock as vol as tan
gibte property. Flo defined corporate prop
erty as beng of three kinds ~ Franchises !;
(2) tangible property; (O capital stoch,-all
OF Which aro distinct and liable to taxation.
S1r. Hunter was ally onougl, to question tho
motives Of Mt. Deriekson in pleading FOR re-
duced valuation and closed with personal
attack which was as foreign to the nature Of his
inquiry as to the spirit Of scientific man. And
tho principles OF taxation surely require such a
spirit for their proper elucidation.

THE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION,


This organization apparently means to do some
thorough work. Tho committee reports submit
ted at its meoting on Tuesday evening ahow
gratifying progress. The Finance Committee is
meeting with fairly satisfactory response to its
appeal for funds. Tho Committee on Fire AlrairH
has decided unon the commondablo course OF
submitting short reports. from time to timo,
specifying particular evils In our arrangements
for preventing and c1tlngnishu1g fires, It's first
statement calls public attention 10 the bad cot,-
dition Of things in tho lumber district
on tho South Branch. Such a district,
lying, as it does. directly in tho path Of tho flerco
gales that Aaye famed both Of our great fires,
mud 1l1od, as it is, wltl intlammablo material
which cannot, from tho nature OF tho businoBs,
bo protected by fire-proof covering, ia stand-
ing monaco to tho safoty OF tho whole city. It
is thon Of especial moment TINT all possible pre-
cautions should DO ,akon. Yot the main protcc-
ton against hro--tho width of tho streets which
have boon laid out through tho district ct-las
been nulliflcd by tho rocklessncas of the
lumDer-dealesB il, piiing tlelr stock upon
sHAN
way. Tlis should not DO permitted
for an hour. The Executive Committee Of tho
Citizens Associaton is to u1go tho Board Of
Public Works to cxeroiBo its statutory power
and compel tho lumber-doaors to confno their
1ire-traps to their own ground. Sub Commit
tee On Fire Affairs is now investigating tho pos
sbility Of utilizing tho atoam-powcr of tho mills
and manufactures along the river bank for
pumping purposes In case Of fire. This is a
good idea. 1t would be possible in this
way, at alight expense, to line the
river with stationary dse-enginoe, which
would mover have to stand idlo for
luck Of water. Tho execution Of the plan would
require some thorough executive work, but
exists. The Committee on City Legislation is
busy. It hopes 10 push tho Prosecuting -Attor-
ney into following up official roguos with q
sharp stick, aud driving the bunko man out OF
tho city.
Tho Association is now permanently located at
Room % aerclauts' Building. It proposes to
gather there all possible meacs OF information,
III tho shnpo OF books, papors, mapa, reports.
ETC., which may bo Of use to its momborH in &C.
