THE Philadelphia Times thinks rural
counties, like Lancaster, ought to try,
by some bipartisan device, to lift the
administration of county offices out OF
the mire of favoritism and dishonesty,
and it cites the unfairness OF the tax
assessors here, exposed in the 1NTELLI-
aENcER, as a wrong for which" a COM
mittee of one hundred would be a good
thing in Lancaster county just now.''
We agree fully with the Times that our
county affairs are badly administered,
and that searching bipartisan
reform should be undertaken to
relieve this and like communi-
ties from the decentralization which row
prevails by reason of making even "un-
salaried Office pay tribute both in inHu-
ence and money to the party in power .
But the special example of unfair as
sessments and the complaint " that the
properties of the poor are assessed at full
value, while more valuable estates are
rated at far less amounts than they
would sell for in open Market" obtain
as fully in Philadelphia, where a "Com
mittee of One Hundred" has been oper
ating, as in Lancaster. Indeed, the story
we reprinted from the Record yesterday
showing millions of recorded investments
mainly held by corporations and wealthy
persons, not taxed, reveals that even out
