THE BOARDS OF roUAI1zA71oN.

The Supreme Court yesterday granted a
vidual taxpayers whose assessments had
been raised by the State Board OF Equal
ization. The Court holds that this power
appcrtains to the County Boards of Equal
ization alone, and that the State Board
can only equalize assessments as between
the several counties. The Court may be
right, and must be obeyed, but we confess
that we cannot find in the Constitution any
warrant for the Interpretation it has put
upon the language OF that instrument.
Section Q, Article Kill, after providing
for the election of the State Board OF
Equalization, says that its duty shall be
g to equalize the valuations of the taxable
property of the several counties in the
State for the purposes Of taxation.
The Board OF Supervisors OF the
several counties of the State shall con-
stitute Boards of Equalization for their
respective counties, whose duty it shall
=" be to equalize the valuation of the tax
" able property in the county for the pur-
"poses of taxation preceded, such State
=" and County Boards of Equalization are
hereby authorized and empowered,
"urder such rules OF notice as
" the County Boards may prescribe.
Gas to the county assessments,
and under such rules OF notice
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-09-17

as the State Board may prescribe,
as to the action of the State Board, to
increase or lower the entire assessment
"roll, or any assessment contained therein,
$50 as to eqlalize the assessment of the
property contained in said assessment
"roll, and make the assessment conform
''to the true value in money of the prop
''erty contained in said roll" That ap-
pears to give the State Board the same
power as is possessed by the County
Boards, in regard to the raising or lowering
of individual assessments. The Supreme
Court, however, decides otherwise. 1t
then remains to be considered what effect
this construction will have upon the public
interests. We think it will not make the
position of those who have been singled out
for increased assessments any easier. The
State Board may raise the assessment on
whole classes of property, by counties.
When it does SO these changes will, as a
rule, bear hardest upon the poorest taxpay-
ers. This will be the case, because those
who have least property always find it
most difficult to escape full valuation.
The increase Of ten per cent. upon whole
class OF property is therefore almost certain
to make many men in moderate circum-
stances pay more than they ought, while it
may only compel the few rich to pay a fair
valuation. But there is another considera-
ton. County Assessors have heretofore
endeavored to make their assessments
generally as Light as possible. A
continuation of that policy must sub
ject them to having their counties raised
by the State Board, and as the effect of
raising the assessment OF county is, as
We have shown, to make the comparatively
poor pay an undue proportion of taxes, it
is clear that the Assessors will be driven,
in order to avoid such equalizing by the
State Board, to make the assessments of
the heavier property owners more
onerous. In fact the new Constitution, as
the RECORD UNION pointed out when it
was under consideration, deliberately pro-
vided machinery for squeezing the
thrifty, and the manner in which this
operates has already been experienced.
The indications are that it cannot be
avoided without a change in the Constitu-
ton. The present decision of the Su-
preme Court certainly does not release the
petitioners, whatever it may seem to do.
In the nature of the case the County As
SCISSORS and the County Boards will be
pushed in the direction we have indicated,
and while this pressure may have one good
effect, in preventing the iuequitable raising
of assessments on those who are already
fairly assessed, it is easy to perceive that
it must lead to counterbalancing evil,
by encouraging the shifting of the popular
burdens on to the shoulders of the
weather. members of the community. 1t
cannot be doubted that there have been
great inequalities in taxation heretofore,
or that they ought to be removed but
this could have been done without paving
the way to the establishment of still more
dangerous inequalities on the other side,
which is what the new Constitution
aims at

HEISE


As the later returns come in from the
back districts Of Maine it becomes evident
that the theory OF Democratic reenback
victory in that State was prematurely
adopted. Ia the towns still to hear from
the vote of last year gave the Fusionists a
smaller aggregate than the known major
ity of Davis, the Republican candidate,
amounts to; and of these back towns sew
eral which last year gave Fusionist major
tiles, this year have given Republican
majorities. The presumption from these
facts IS that Davis is elected by small
plurality, and further returns are not
likely to change this conclusion. The
Legislature IS largely Republican in both
chambers. Three out OF the five Con
gressmen are Republican. Aud taking
the situation as ! whole it is rather diff
cult TO perceive where the opening for
Democratic exuitation comes in. At the
same time the fact remains that the Re-
pubiicans failed to obtain the results they
had counted on, aud which, there is reason
to believe, even their adversares antioi-
pated. They expected majority of FIVE
thousand, at the least, and il they are not
beaten they are saved only by the skin Of
their teeth. There is an old saying that
a miss is as good as mile, but in pc
h.ical contests ike the present this does
not always hold good, The near defeat of
the Republicans in Maine is not as bad as
a more severe reverse, but it is an encour-
agement to the Democrats, for they never
expected to carry Maine, or even to come
near carrying it, though it may be thought
that they had right to indulge some hope,
seeing that the Fasionists beat the Repub-
licans there only year ago.

GENERAL HANCOCK GOES OFF AT HALF
COCK.

1t has been said that the most dangerous
thing Presidential candidate can do is to
write letters. Probably General Hancock
is inclined to agree with this now that he
contemplates his letter Of congratulation
to Plaisted. It looks so absurd to have
written a solemn aad feryid epistle ecstati-
cally congratulating man on an election
which has put his opponent in Office.
General Hancock ought to have waited
for the official returns, and not have re-
posed such implicit faith upon the dis
patches of his friend Mr. Barnum. 1t is
also very hard upon Mr.. Plaisted that he
should be thus exposed to ridicule through
the impulsiveness of the Major General.
Perhaps Mr.. Plaisted deserves some praise
for the energetic canvass he has made in
Maine, but the time has not yet come
when he could be congratulated on his
election as Governor of that State.
