SlR:-fn regard TO Increased taxation,
advocated by n very few persons MS n
remedy for the city's financial troubles, IT
may BE- stated us MI axiom, that property
both roal and personal unless it be pure
iy speculative property ltasa value ~
csac, proportion to It's productlvenes.
A productiveness is increased or dimiIl-
ished so Is the value Of the investment
enhanced or deprecated. Six percent Is
usually considered a iaiF annual return
for some investments, and q property pro-
ducing that income will be rated at par
that Is tosaySl0,0W inycstedto produce M
annual incomooiSG00 net, will sell in open
market, MS Il rule, for $4,000. But II by
increased taxation the income OF 5000 be
reduced to $500, the value OF the property
Is thereby impaired In exact proportion
TO the reduction Of income, and in open
market would sell for Just 50 much less,
or SS,333 Instead Of $1,000; and II by still
additional taxation the income be re-
duced to 500, the property would have Il
value OF S6,C61 only, that being the prln-
cipal sum which at 0 percent produces
Si0d.
II results then that rs the tax rate is IN.
creased, the basis Of taxation Is diminish.

revenues. For it will not do to insist that
property shall be assessed ut the same
value under the greater INK as under the
%lcsser-the property isdeprcclated by the
greater law MS has been shown, and the
assessment OF such property for taxation
must be proportionately, reduced. Against
an attempt to maintain arbitrary values IN
face OF actual depreciation, relief would
be found no doubt in the courts, aud
assessors compelled to reduce their figures
to actual values.
A happy medium in the matter oisaxa,,
ton, rs in most other things, is the real
desideratum; and that we have reached it,
ii not passed beyond is evineed by our
payment now OF taxes amounting IN the
aggregate to two upon a full valia'
ton OF our properties. J. WI.
