TAYdTION md FARNS.

Farmers of this State find fault, not I'M
naturally, with the share of taxation imposed
upon them. For many years it has been GER
tain that they were bearing too large share
Of public burdens, and the injustice does not
seem to be diminishing, to say the least.
preliminary convention was held on July 3. at
Rochester, the object Of which was TO strive
for an increase of the tax on personal prop
erty. and a reduction of the tax on land en-
ployed in farming. The movers invited the
Knights of Labor to join this organization, but
il is significant that the knights of Labor at
the very same time are persuaded by many Of
their leaders to urge Henry Georges theory,
under which all the tax would be laid upon
land and no part Of it upon personal property.
Ten years ago, when the Hon David A. Wells
reported to the Governor Of this State as a
Commissioner on Taxation, he proposed aboli-
ton of taxes on personal property and con-
cee.tratiOn Of all taxes upon the rental value OF
real estate occupied That was long before
Mr. George had brought his theory to the front,
and it is rather significant that substantially
the same change should have thus been pro-
posed by two conspicuous free-trade agitators,
though with wide differences as to details. Mr..
George would make the single tax national, as
means Of abOliShng custom houses, and in
that form the plan has an object which makes
it attractive to many minds. But as plan for
the State only, without change of method by
the National Government the tax on land only
would not satisfy Mr. Georges theories and
would have some peculiar results. In that
form it was promptly rejected by the people
when proposed by Mr.. Wells, and is now con-
templated by the Knights of Labor, according
to one of their leaders. The impractical ten
dency of such leaders needs no better illustra-
ton.
The farmers Of this State are not anxious for
more taxes on land. The progress Of valua-
ton for the purpose Of taxation has been in
millions of dollars as follows:

WzRBIING PROHIBITION ORGAN.

THE TRIBUNE lately took occasion to call
attention to the extraordinary attitude which
the chairman of the Prohibition State Com
mttee had taken in reference to the resolution
proyiding for the submission Of a Prohibition
Amendment to the Constitution to popular
vote Mr.. Wheeler publicly declared few
weeks ago that he did not care to have such
an amendment submitted to the people Of New
York next year. With view to discovering
whether or not the chairman spoke merely for
himself or reflected the general Prohibition
sentiment we asked "The Voice" the organ
Of the Third-party temperance people, if it
agreed with Mr.. Wheeler-if it also was opposed
TO the submission OF the Prohibition Amend
ment to the people next year. @ The Voice"
replies: "Submit the amendment, and we
will support it with all our might. But to
secure submission under existing circumstances
is not the purpose Of the ProhibitioniSts."
There you have it fair and square "The
Voice. Mr.. Wheeler, the chairman Of the
Prohibition State Committee, and those whom
they represent have for years been upbaiding
the Republicans Of Newly ork for not prompt
ly redeeming the pledge made by the Richheid
Springs Convention of 1888. That convention
expressed itself in favor Of submitting Pro-
hibiti0n Amendment to the popular vote. An
unsuccessful effort was made by the Repub-
lican Legislature Of 1886 to pass the necessary
resolution. The failure caused The Voice"
great anguish. 1t heaped curses red with I'M
common wrath upon that Legislature. Its in
dignation was something terrible to behold.
1t sat up nights pointing the finger Of scorn at
the Republican party. This was in 1886. Yet,
now that the resolution has been passed by one
Republican Legislature and is shortly to come
before another for confirmation, "The Voice"
and the chairman of the Prohibition State Com

For The three census years The estimated
value of all property, real and personal, il
added; for 1888 only the assessed values can
be given, but at the ratio Of 1880 to assess
ments the total real value in 1888 would be
over ten thousand millions. To the objection
that titles Of property all over the country or
mortgages on property in many other States
are held here in New-York, whereas the prop
erty itself is rightly taxable elsewhere, it may
be answered that the census Of 1880 reported
the true value of property located within the
state at six thousand three hundred and eight
millions, or nearly S3 per cent of the whole,
and at the same ratio the property within the
State, and actually subject TO taxation here. is

The proceedings before the Parnell Commits
sion Yesterday ended with a significant and
suggestive episode. Sir Charles Russell, hay
ing intimated that his client had given him
written instructions regarding the further CON
duct Of the case, Mr.. Parnell and Mr.. Daytt,
together with their counsel, retired from tho
courtroom Whether this means that the case
Of the defendants is to be withdrawn from the
Commission may not be known before next
Tuesday, when the Commission holds its next
session. Mr.. Parnel and his associates pos
sibly perceive that there is nothing to be gained
by producing further witnesses, and probably
they expect an adverse verdict in any event.
The salient fact of the entire proceedings is the
utter breakdown Of the attempt to fasten the
forged letters on Mr.. Parnell. On this point, at
least, the decision must be in his favor.

Controller Myers has done well to address
himself to the exorbitant valuations put upon
sites for schoolhouses which the city is arang-

ton to the great increase in the cost of tho
sites due to the large expenses of the Com
mssoners who condemn the property In one
ease he shows that this item amounts to 8 per
rent of the valuation, and in another to II per
cent. The law requires condemnation proceed

some way of keeping down the expense Of con-
ducting them and of preventing the owners Of

What has become of the agitation that was
going on a year or so ago in favor of licensing
drivers of vehicles? The suggestion was warmly
supported on account Of the numerous accidents
from careless driving that occurred about that
time particularly as in one dagrant case the
young boy whose unsldlfulness caused the damage
confessed that it was the first time he had ever
driven horse Accidents Of this sort have been
comparatively rare recently, but the immunity
from them will probably not continue long. The
