FUNNY WORK IN FIGURES.

! Difference In the Taxable Property Of City
When There Are Bonds to seIl-Just a
Few Millions Found.
The city of McKeesport wants to sell
S25, 900 worth of school bonds, and consider
ing that they are to run 25 years, and pay AZ
per cent interest, clear of tax no trouble is an
ticipated in getting them afoat. especially as
the value of the city, above its present indebt-
edness, is 1l6 times the amount it wants to bor-
row.
But this abundant prosperity makes the city
OF McKeesport a shining target for criticism,
as showing the inequalities of taxation, and
has furnished a fruitful theme for assessment
! reyisionists. 1t must be counted to the credit
of the wide-awake people of the city that they
are keeuly alive not only to the talk that an
advertisement putting forth the fact sets a1oat,
but that they have for years protested against
such fagrant discrimination. Unfortunately
they are in minority, but should the assess
ment revision bill in the Legislature bear fruit
they NAV come out on top yet
A county official stated yesterday that when
McKeesport wanted to place bonds IL found it
was worth s3O,000,0 900: but when the Assessor
went around in 1890 less that Sc QUO 900 worth of
property was found. Here is the statement of
the Assessors furnished last year to the Coun-
ty Commissioners:
First Ward 81 800. .565
Second Ward. l,677, go
Third Ward l,726, 800
Total IS 704. .235
An examination of the Assessors book shows
that a certain land syndicate, or company,
owns some hundreds of lots that are assessed
at sos each, and one who lives not far from the
property, and who speaks as one having
authority. and not as the scribes. states that

been sold is $780, and that the average price
realized on all sold has been $3.50, so that those
sold have been assessed at g per cent Of their
selling value.
1t is safe to say that the purchasers OF the
school bonds advertised will have abundant
security for their investment, even il they do
come in after the city's present indebtedness Of
$4,000

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1891-02-18

The school book combination, which is
trying hard TO get control of all the school
books published in the country, is making
extraordinary Efforts in many directions to
have laws adopted which will make school
books free to all classes of children, rich
and poor They well know that if such
laws were enacted in all the states
they could sell many more books than
they do now. This gigantic school book
combination, beingin favor of this scheme,
makes it necessary for the Journal to be
in favor of free school books for everybody.
However, the Journal has not succeeded
to any great extent in its fight against the
Indiana school book law or against the
state board of education for adopting wha.
they term inferior text books" The
Journal, as we remember. did not succeed
to any great extent, in advising the legis-
lature two years ago about their duties as
to school book legislation and we will
here make prediction that it will not
make an overwhelming success in its
endeayor TO teach the present legislature
what to do on the subject of providing
means for the adoption of the balance of

right to appoint experts to assess certain
kinds of property. We believe that much
can be done also by making more strin-
gent provisions concerning the returns of
schedules OF property. Assessors should
be put under penal liability for accepting
any return that is not sworn to, and there
by prevented from taking schedules in the
loose manner now used by many OF them.
The person making schedule should also
be required to answer in writing every
question asked on the schedule. If he
has no property of any specified kind he
should be required to write the word
none" opposite such specification. Then
if he is brought before a grand jury he
cannot claim that he overlooked that

CORRECT tho Assessments.

In the revision Of the tax laws special
attention should be given to the object of
securing correct returns Of personal prop
erty. There is at present no greater evil
In our tax system than the evasion OF
just proportion Of taxes by owners of this
class OF property, and the evil is aggra-
waited by the notorious fact that the rich
escape this portion of the tax in much
greater proportion than the poor. Every
person who has studied the workings OF
our system and every tax commission or
other Investigation in other states finds
the same state OF affairs existing. IL Is
no exagReration to say that the great bur

Our Rond Lawa.

The chief defect Of our present system
Of road laws is that no provision IL made
for proper supervision oi the work
In some Of our counties whore tho soil
IA n prairie loan no amount 81 grading or
blowing can do tho roads any material
good unless there is first provided some
efficient means OF drainage. \ light
rain will soften the roads ~ that heavy
loads cannot be drawn on Thorn. In other
counties, ON the contrary, drainage IL not
needed but the work should be- chiefly
expended on grading; in others top
dressing OF sand or gravel must bo pro-
vided; In others still, u clay top dressing
IL needed. In short each separate road
needs special mode oftreatmcnt adapted

Judgment, and ~ least an equal training,

out and build a railroad through an ordi-
nary county.
The only solution OF our present Diff
Guilty Is % provide competent men. train
ed civil engineers. who will bo willing 20
devote special study % the subject, 10 lay
out our roads, to make the plans for their
improvement, and 10 oversee the work.
A law providing that roads be drained
would Doe good for few counties but
would be worthless and q useless expense
in others; law fixing tho maximum
grade Of roads throughout the state would
work hardship in somo counties, in others
would do good, In others would have no
application; but n law providing for the
employment in each county OF trained

Piles Of bodybuilding and repairing, would
meet the needs OF all. IL is a fair estimate
that half the money and work expended
on our roads Is wasted through lack OF
knowledge. The governors message states
that on the average some $4,000 "a year Is
expended on our roads in each county.
Indiana cannot afford not 10 pass a law
providing that this money and labor shall
be expended under competent direction
and thus be saved. Our taxes are too
high now; let us not throw them away
when collected.
