Our Assessment Laws.

One Of two things is evident:
either our assessment law is O fail.

trouble is with the law. Onr asses.
sors are, perhaps, about as well

SCISSORS of other States. II is certain
that very large amount of proper.
" escapes taxation altogether, and
that that il assessed il rated far be.
low its real value. Wbea the cpnsti.
tutional convention was in session
We pointed ont the facts and tried
to influence that body to provide
for a hoard for the equalization of
assessments. The convention, how.
ever, refused TO heed our sugges.
tions. ltpretcrrrd to follow it's own
notions in this as well as in other
matters. Time hasn't exempliticd
the wisdom Of its course. Its work
was q failure, and the dissatisfaction
with it daily increases. Our State
and municipal revenues fail to meet
meut. Two of the causes Of this
condition of affairs are the low rate
Of assessments and the failure, in nu
merous instances, 10 ASSESS proper.
ty at all. There arc hundreds OF
thousands of acres OF taxable lands
in this State which do not appear
on the assessment books. In u ma.
jority OF the parishes not one tenth
OF the personal property is assessed.
In this city recent developments
show the character OF the assess.
ments. A piece of property tha,
was lately sold for sl50,O00 was as.
sessed at s35,000. Two stocks of
goods, recently destroyed by fire.
which we're assessed at $4,000
we're insured for over $S5,O00.
These are few sample cases, bat
we have no doubt there is q vast
amount of property III this city the
assessment Of which bears about the
same relation to it's value. II is Il
well known fact that all over the
State there are plantations assessed
at an amount less than that receiv.
cd for one years crop. How can
We expect n low rate Of taxation or
revenues Sufficient to meet our ex.
penses, if property is assessed a,
one quarter or one.half of its real
value, or not assessed AT allt Some
property is assessed AT it's full val

unfair and unequal assessments the
burden falls with double severity.

nation of timid people. Why few
celestial travellers who are always

no one has explained. 1t may seem
very nice TO some people TO be out

The earth indeed, has already in.
