Equal (?) Taxation.

The clause in the new Constitu-
tion relative to the assessment 0l
laid will work peculiar hardship
in the foothills. Section 2 of Arti.
Gle 13 says;
"Cultivated and uncultivated
land, of the same quality and siml-
larly situated, shall be assessed at
the same value"
Now let us see how that will
work among the small farmers OF
the foot-hill section. When the AS
sessor comes around the conversa-
| ton will be about like this:
Assessor-How much land have
! you, Mr.. Granger?
Mr.. Granger-Three hundred and
twenty acres.
Assessor-It 10 all about of the
same quality, isn't it.
Grauger-Yes; there is no essen
tial difference in the quality of the
land that | am aware of.
Assessor-All under cltivation?
Granger-No, sir; there are but
fifty acres cultivated at present.
What do you value
your cultivated land at, Mr..
Granger?
Granger-Well, I hardly know.
1 don't wish to sell, and have
never given the subject much con.
sideration.
Assessor-I am assessing cult
waited land in this vicinity at S25
an acre; do you think this an ex
cesslve valuation?
Granger-No. L think my cultl
yated land is worth $25. l wouldn'
take that for it.
Assessor (fguring)-Very well,
then, MIR. Granger, L value your
land at $4,000; the buildings and
other improvements 1 shall assess
separately.
GraDger--What! eight thousand
dollars! are you crazy? Why, sir,
| only paid 81 25 an acre for this
land, and 290 acres of it has not
been improved or cultivated in any
way, and it isn't worth picayune
more to day than it was when I
pre- empted. What do you mean :?
Fifty acres, at S25, would be S1250.
am willing you should put down
the remaining 270 acres OF no Y claim
at S2 per acre-certainly not above
that; 270at So would be S54O, which,
added to the value of my cultivated
land, makes total of $l7SO for the
whole ranch-every dollar it is
worth. Why, sir, every dollar 1
can produce and earn In q year,
over and above Il bare living for
my family, w"ud not suffice to
pay the tax on $4,000.
Assessor--I can't uelp that. The
new Constitution says that cult.
waited and uucultivated land of the
same quality, shall be assessed at
the same value; and L am conse-
quently compelled to assess you $25
an acle for all your land. You can
apply to the Board of Equalization,
Mr.. Granger, but as the clause in
the Constitution L referred to is
mandatory, 1 don't think you stand
any chance Of getting a reduction.

The strawberry festival of the
Unitarian Society at Union Hall,
last night, in point of enjoymel t
fully equalled any Of the social en-
tertsinments of the Society. The
amusements of the earlier part of
the night were interspersed with vo-
cal and instrumental music by
some of our most talented amateuis 9
aud at 10 o'clock the floor was
cleared for dancing, which was
kept up until midnight. a general
wish was expressed for repetition
OF the festival at an early day.
The farewell concert of Mr.. Men
del Meyer, AZ Turnverein Hall last
night, we regret to say, was not as
well patronized as we expected to
see it. The programme was well
selected and was rendered with
great brilliancy, nearly all the
pieces meeting with an enthusiastic
encore. Lack of space precIudes
extended notice, but we feel that
we should be lacking in
justice if we failed to note
the great efficiency attained
by the High School Band under
the leadership of their prppceptor,
Professor Cunterno. The boys in
their several selections acquitted
themselves in manner that would
do no discredit to a band OF veteran
musicians and reflected the highest
credit on their teacher. With lit
tie more practice they bid fair to
take q foremost rank with the older
organizations.
Our citizent may expect u great
dramati; treat in the "ColOr
Guard" which will be presented
under the auspices of Frank Bart
lett Post No. 6, G. A. R., at Turn
verein Hall on Wednesday, Thurs.
day, Friday and Saturday nights of
this week. The characters will be
personated by ladies' and gentle
men of this city, all of whom by
thorough study and frequent re.
hearsals, are now letter perfect in
their parts. We clip the following
notice of the play from late mum
ber of the Buffalo, N. Y, Erpress:
1t stands pre- eminent as the best
military drama that has ever been
written, and being put upon the
stage in q manner that reflects the
greatest credit upon the Post and
the various characters supported by
artists of acknowledged ability, the
public may feel assured that the
second representation of the "Color
Guard" will be far superior to any
thing that has ever been seen in
this city.

liz spite of the efforts Of the Japan
csc finance minister To keep up the
credit of his fiat money, it has reached
a discount Of 26 per cent, and the
warning notes sent to England by
residents in Japan intimate proba-
bility Of further large reduction in
the purchasing power Of the paper.
Some curious fatality invariably leads
half-civilized people to initiate the
vices of civilized neighbors or WISH
tors, and in this case tie Japs, who
were rigid hard-moneyites in their old
days Of seclusion, have adopted the
most utterly vicious currency system
for which pattern could be found
among western nations, namely, the
fiat money abominaton Of the United
States. The common sense Of the
people seems t. be opposed to this
illegitimate currency, but the govern
ment has persisted in establishing
banks as currency factories, until the
rapid decline of the stuff in CONNER.
cial value has forced halt.
