THE man who makes an honest return
Of his property Is continually robbed by
those who hold up their right hand and
swear to lie, and II is due time that these
high.toned perjurers be made to toe the
mark.-[Chagrins Falls Exponent.
There is no legal or business transaction
about which there is more indefinitsness,
uncertainty and inequality than the matter
of listing property for taxation. This
arises partly from lack Of fixed standards
of values, partly from imperfection OF
judgment and partly from selfshness and
dishonesty. Whether or not the law con-
templates and provides for listing property
at one half or two thirds its cash value, we
do not know, but this seems TO be the Gus.
tom.
If there was some regular, we'll estab-
lished rule to which all could conform
then it could work no injustice If property
was put in al half Its value, since the per-
centage to raise given amount of tax
only needs to be doubled II a given sum is
10 be raised on $1,000 instead of $4,000
valuation. But when it seems to be TO the
interest of each individual to estimate the
worth of his property at as low rate as
possible, the result depends less upon It's
actual value than upon the elasticity of
his conscience. Those who would be
honest and make such valuation as they
could coscientiously support with an oath
are confronted with the fact that large
numbers are not acting on this principle,
and that to do so would work the injustice
OF increasing their tax so or 100 per cent
over what their neighbors are paying on
property of an equal value. The present
custom or law seems TO put premium on
dishonesty and is contrary TO the spirit of
the prayer which says, Lead us not into
temptation"
We understand that our Legislature is
wrestling with measure for preventing
fraud in listing property, not so much TO
prevent valuation, however, as to pro-
vide against concealment. This may be a
necessary measure, but if they will include
in II some specific rules to govern valua-
tions and to secure uniformity, they will
confer lasting favor on those who would
be honest but find it incOnyenient, expen-
sive and matter Of injustice to themselves
as well as upon those whose selfishness
and dishonesty is more than a match Tor
their judgment and conscience. AS ii
now is the effort seems in many cases not
to arrive at just values, but to see at how
low a value property can be listed, and
how much of the burden Of taxation can
be avoided by shifting it upon ones neigh.

IT Is too frequent mistake made by
young persons to suppose that It is just as
we'll to be destitute Of cordially, politeness
and an obliging manner and disposition as
10 cultivate these minor morals. In The
little matter Of preferring request or
refusing TO grant one; In the expression
Of a note or letter involving the most ordi
nary business transaction Is revealed good
sense, good taste and good breeding, or
the want Of these, with o defniteness
that the careless writer might not suppose.
In business and social intercourse If every
body would meet half way the generous
and just treatment accorded them, what
an amount OF wear and tear Of the feelings
would be saved, and how the sum Of hu.
man happiness would be increased. An
intense and overwhelming selfshness con.
sumes like drouth, and dries up one by
one all the springs Of human sympathy.

0UR Legislature Is laboring with State
homestead bill, which proposes TO give
the use Of twenty acres Of land TO each
head Of family who will live upon and
improve II at an annual rental Of six per
cent upon the actual cost Of the land to
the State, and providing that the buildings
and permanent improvements shall be the
property Of the occupant who makes them
but that their claim shall cease when the
person ceases to reside upon and cultivate
the land. This Is designed to relieve the
large amount Of enforced idlcness and the
consequent degeneration into pauperism
and crime, but while 1t may benefit a
small minority, the majority will find It as
difficult TO secure the means TO build upon
and improve unimproved lands as TO pur.
chase the land Itself. Besides, unless the
land Is unusually fine and favorably To-
Gated for market gardening, II would be
almost impossible for an average man to
live on the proceeds Of 20 acres. 1t will
not be expected Of course that the State
will purchase for such use, the choice un-
occupied lands near cities and towns,
which could only be had at extravagant
prices and there Is very little good land
even In remote situations that Is not al
ready taken. OF course q thrifty enter.

by selling his unemployed time to'his

and cheaper, or can be had for the taking
of It.
We predict that II entered upon the ex.
pertinent will be found to be practically
failure. We doubt indeed II any consider.
able number Of the poor will ever attempt
to avail themselves Of the provisions Of
such law. We should gladly favor any
measure that would be of real advantage,

THE interesting legal case of settling the

Cincinnati, victims Of the lost steamer,
Asia, on Lake Huron in September 1882
who, dying without children, left an estate
Of $4,000, until lately undivided because
II tcould not be determined which died first,
husband or wife, was in March finally
compromised without coming to trial.
Twenty.nine months were used in prepar.
alton, gathering testimony, correspondence
and controversy involving questions, legal
and medical by the lawyers ofthe relatives.
AS neither party could make the necessary
proof, and both saw that the property
might be squandered in endless litigation,
or tied up waiting for decision until the
legatees named in Mr.. Woods will would
be beyond the need Of pecuniary aid, the
life insurance, $25,0OO was given to the
husbands estate and $4,000 which was

Reports are going the rounds that money was used to carry through different measures in the Thirteenth Legislative Assembly, and it is for this reason we would like to see the matter investigated. or course the ruDor of investigation is hoax, intended as such by the person who originated the item, who may desire to cast stigma upon the members Of the Thirteenth, and he may be correct for aught we know, but with him, during our experience of three terms in the Arizona Legislature, members are all right as long as they have pat ronage to extend in his line of bus- ness, and he IS careful to applaud un- til the Legislative body adjourns and the members return to their homes.

 President Bartlett, of Dartmouth, contributes an interesting article on
 this topic to the July number of the North American Review. From the
 men of unknown ages and their works underground, to men graphing with the latest questions of our own day and discussing the parccling out of the earth's surface, is long step; but in the same number of the Review appears conversation between David Dudley Field and Henry George, on land and taxation. Another urgent question, which may soon make very serious issue, the extradition of dyna- mite criminals, is debated by Presi- dent Angell, of Michigan University, George Ticknor Curtis, and Justice T. Nj. Cooley. Dorman B. Eaton, chief of the Civil Service Commis
 sion, gives his views of the results oi that reform. William Clarke shows the futile character of any scheme for British imperial federation, and Thos. w. Knox gives brief but interest ing sketch of the progress of Euro. pean influence in Asia. The other articles are one by Gail Hamilton on Prohibition in practice, and one by Rev. Dr. C. H. Parkhurst on the de- cline of Christianity. These, with the batch of free-hand Comments, make up a number of unusual interest. Ii the allotted age of man were sui ficient for magazine, we might have to part here with an old friend; for the Review has just completed its seventieth year.
