NEAL BOWS state makes o bad
showing of tho effects Of prohibition
which some of our western states
might do we'll to study before going
over to Governor st. Johns delusion.
Tho proh.bitory system has been
maintained In Maine for 25 years,
and the internal revenue bonds show
that probably as much liquor Is bought
and sold 81 In any other state of it's
population where the traffic is
licensed. For instance. the city of
Portland has q population of $4,000,
and 212 places which take out q gov.
eminent license. Bangor has q popu.
lation of 10, 600, and 154 drinking
saloons, or one to every GA peraons.
The little city of Biddeford has &c
liquor shops, and Lewiston has 60.
Prohibition evidently does not prohibit
any more in Maine than 1t does In
Kansas or did in Iowa.

The political quiet of the old world
has been again disturbed by dyna.

government board off COS at Westmin-
uter were shattered by q mighty OK.
plosion, which shook the city of Lon
don for q mile distant and caused the
greatest alarm In the parliament
houses. An attempt to blow up the
Times office was alno made, which
failed. The press naturally attributes
the deed to the Irish rsvolu.
tionary party, under the oouusels
Of O'Donovan Rosa and the
assassin press Of America, but the
government refuses to commit itself
until a full investigation Of the out.
RACES has been made.
Parliament has felt the spur Of MI.
Gladstone's presence, and during the
week has chiefly directed Itself to the
passages OF the estimates or appropri-
alton bills. Mr.. Parnell again made
the fact evident that the Irish ques.
ton will not be permitted to be
pushed into the back ground by pro-
posing radical amendments to the
land act, which, being opposed by the
government were rejected by a ma.
joritY Of over 800. It is plain
that the promier holds his party
well In hand and may confidently
count on securing any Legislation pre-.

calls oppressive taxation. It is no
crime to be a wealthy man al long as
the wealth has been honorably Sc.

large and wealthy property owners
should not psy their Just share of
taxes just as oheerfully as the poorest

rightful revenue and increases the

The constitutional expounder of

on the folly Of the Legislature In at.
tempting to regulate the business Of

associations. Gas we'll might they
decree that the Masons or Odd Eel.
lows shall admit every applicant to
their orders or compel these societies
to give up their secret ritual, as to
compel a strictly private association
of newspapers to admit into Its mem
bership every paper that may desire
to share its privileges" This Is
about as logical as the com.
parison made some days ago
by the Journal between press ~assooia.
tions and dealers In groceries and dry
goods. We ~apprehend there Is a
marked difference between member.
ship In o purely benevolent society
and 9 close corporation gotten up to
monopolize telegraph news. VIII the
constitutional ~e1pounder please inform
us why he never called In question

EouALIzED ASSESSMENTS.

One Of the arguments used by the
assessors against raising the ass sssment
Ia that il will Increase the ,tate tax, of
which II is said that Douglas county
already pays more than her share.
Suppose 1t did. Is the fear that
Douglas county will pay more taxes
to the state, on q fair assessment, to
prevent an impartial assessment re-
gardless OF ownership or amount Of
property owned by individuals or cor.
porations. The fact Is, however, that
an equalizs alton of assessment would
not increase the great mass Of indi.
vldual payments of taxes or account of
the state levy.
At present every 800 Of assessed
property in Omaha pays 81 cents
Of the state tax and about 81 90 of
city and county taxes. The assessed
valuation of city property Is 8 1900.
0O0, which at4 percent makes the rev.
enue of the county and city $288. 600
q year. Now suppose that by the as.
sessment of all real estate on q uni
form basis of one.fourth OF its value,
we should raise the aggregate Of tax.
able property to a round SIC, 900, COO,
which by no ear would be les,
than one.fonrth OF the value of real
property alone. Assume Furthermore
that the amount of revenue to BIZ
raised for city and county purposel
was limited to $2ss, 900 q year. II
that case every 500 Of taxable prop.
erty In Omaha would only pay
30 cents Of state tax and the city
and county levy would be reduced
from $500 per 800 to 50 S6
In other words, instead of being In
creased, the tax levy would be reduced
twelve mills on present valuation Of
property that is already assessed al
one. fourth it's true value. The city
and county might, however, increase
their revenue SIP, 900 n year without
increasing the tax levy over what II
now is, on property fairly assessed and
parties who are now paying taxes as the
bulk OF our citizens do on o valuation
of about one.third would not be
called upon for a dollar more of
taxes, Equaliz stion Of assessment
would only hit the tax shirkers. 1t
would increase the income from veal
thy land owners and decrease the bur
dens of our clerks, mechanics, bust.
ness men of moderate meanr.
Let this once be understood, and all
the bowls of the men who have made
fortunes from the rise Of real estate In
Omaha will Brighten no one. The
demand for raising and equalization of
assessments Is general among taxpayers
who enjoy no exemptions. The pee
pie demand it for their own Interests
and the interests of our city, which
has suffered long enough from tho
shiftless and shameless methods Of the
past.
