WILL 1T GO TO THE COURTS.

There is considerable talk among tax
payers Of contesting the Act creating the
State Board of Assessors and Equaliza-
tion on the ground that it is unconstitu-
tional. 1t is believed that the provisions
of the act conflict with Article VIII, Sec
ton 2 of the State Constitution which
says:
"All real property and possessory
rights to the same, as well as personal
property in this State, belonging to cor
porations now existing or hereafter
created, shall be subject to taxation the
sameas property of individuals"
And with Article X, Section |, which
says:
"The Legislature shall provide by law
for a uniform and equal rate Of assess
ment and taxation, and shall prescribe
such regulations s.;.hall secure a just val
uation for all property, real, personal and
possessory.
1t is contended that the act creating
the State Board of Assessors does not
provide for uniform rate of assessment
and taxation. Certainly horizontal
raise Of twenty per cent. on all property
assessed by the county Assessor at its
full value, except money and railroads, is
not uniform and equal rate of assess
ment and taxation. Reno Journal.

WAR AT RENO.
The Board Of Assessors Recalls the In
dividual Raises i'm Washoe County.

The Governor and Attorney General
held meeting at Reno day before yes
terday, to hear complaints of Washoe
citizens regarding the proposed individ.
ual raises in their assessments. A large
number of prominent Washoe taxpayers
appeared before the Board and wanted
to know what right that board had to
raise their assessments. An idea of the
feeling evinced may be secured from the
following language used by DR.. II. II.
Beck, who addressed the committee at
some length:
Governor Colcord believe that the
citizens generally respect you as the
Chief Magistrate, and they also hold AT.
torney General Torreyson in high esteem
as citizen, but they regard your coming
here as Board of Equalization as lot
of pirates.
The injured Washoeites talked to such
good effect that Board finally decided to
recall the notices of increase in individ.
ual assessments. E,
The Journal commenting upon the
action of the Board says;
As the movement to raise individual
assessments in this county has been
abandoned, the Board will doubtless re.
call the notifications issued to individ.
ual: taxpayers in other parts of the
State. The Board to relieve itself from
the suspicion of being partial, should
now explain why it made horizontal
raise of l2a per cent. jim some counties,
Is per cent. in others, 20 per cent. in
three counties and 25 per cent. in two.
1t must have come reason for discrimi.
mating, and as it should have nothing to
conceal, in justice to itself it ought to
explain.

A Reaction in Favor of New England Farms
When the West Is Full

A Reaction in Favor of New England Farms
When the West Is Full.
Lewiston Journal.l
Our own idea is that as the cheap and pro-
ductive lands in the West are now occupied to
large extent, there will be an important reac-
tlon In favor Of farming in the East, in the
next decade Unless we are mistaken, this
reaction has already begun. In the study of
the tendencies of modern population we ought
ever to keep the fact in mind that there are
certain reasons why the current is largely
metropolitan, growing out of the supercedure
OF the kitchen corner as a center of manufac-
turing industry. This preference for the city is
not drift, an aimless and unreasonable move
ment in the modern amalgam of peoples
Machinery has released thousands from the
productive life Of farms to the constructive life
OF shops. and the vast increase of consumption
has min1stered to the command of factory life
over the population released from the land
The social instincts also foster the attractive
forces of the city. The intellectual aspirations
OF modern life add a strong enlargement of the
boundaries of cities. Amusements, libraries
the luxuries and conveniences of life are null
tiplied by the city. We need not deplore what
is normal. natural and beneficial
The advance in agricultural products which
is steadily proceeding. Is the counter-appeal of
rural financial facts toward farm life These
things do not at once take care of themselves
but under the law of supply and demand and
of relative profit and comfort, the country is
sure to have period of improved profit and of
more telling industry. 1t is this which we see
already in sight.

PROMISES OF WEALTH,

Projects for getting hold OF the funds of
the dear people are of perennial growth and
infinite variety; but it is rare that one of
more glittering and attractive hue is found
than the alleged development of so-caIled
beneficial orders which are referred to in a
local article. An organization which can
convince any considerable share of the pub
lie that it will return 500 in six months to
each member who has paid dues in that
time amounting to half or third of that
amount, can confidently expect that people
will at once give themselves over to the in
dustry of joining the societies, and thus Sc
curing a monthly if not weekly payment of
the 500 benefit. Whether people get the
benefits or not, it is beyond doubt that if
any number can be brought to believe in
this scheme, the projectors will enjoy a very
fat revenue for a season.
The arguments which are brought forward
to convince the dear public that this is legiti-
mate business are decidedly unique One
organization establishes Its case by pointing
out that the lapses in the regular beneficial
organizations amount to Ga or 67 of the total
membership. But il the lapses in this con-
Germ are to reach any such percentage in six
months, it is evident that at the close OF
year it will have from % to "a per cent less
than no membership at all. which is likely
to make the payment of the promised benefit
an arduous undertaking. Another organ
ization leaves itself very large loophole by
the requirement that before any member can
reach full standing he must bring in two
other members, which, as a calculation
readily shows, would in very short time
require a total membership exceeding the
population of the entire Western Hemi-
sphere.
With regard to these mushroom organiza-
tions, which appear to have broken out
simultaneously in various cities, it can be
laid down as universal rule that any plan
which holds out promise to return to its
members greater amount than the dues
with a safe interest rate compounded on the
payments, is either inspired by Intentional
fraud or bewildered ignorance. The old
scheme of offering to pay 10 per cent month
ly on deposits has become somewhat thread
bare. but this fills its place very thoroughly.

AUNIOUE OPENING.

Mr.. George Kennan is quoted as express
ing a belief that the search for tine North
Pole offers great opening for young men.
Considering the reports from the last Arctic
expedition. of some members of it eating
others. the phrase suggests that the opening
is of unique but by no means desirable
character. Without giving the remark
that gruesome significance, however, it is
permissible to say that the positions which
young men, or old ones either, are likely to
find in the Arctic regions are altogether
too permanent to be attractive. The fame
of penetrating region which cannot sus-
tain human life or yield any gain to prac-
tical knowledge NAV be very sweet-to
those who get back. But as the majority of
the Arctic explorers do not return, the dis
Greet young man in search of an opening will
prefer the more commonplace sort to be
found in temperate climes.

LESSONS OF THE INDIAN SYSTEM.

The further discussion of the Indian pol
icy and the humanitarians, by our WASH
ington correspondent, contains one inter-
esting point 1t is not necessary to pursue
the main subject, because after our corre-
spondent argues it all out, he arrives, by de-
vious paths of reasoning at the conclusion
which everyS Sntelligent and unprejudiced
man who studies the subject reaches. 1t is
beyond doubt that the Indians should be
given their lands in severalty and taught to
cultivate them. Wherever this policy has
been pursued with any decent approach to
good faith, IL has produced the best results.
The adoption of this policy was agreed upon
between the Government and the very In
dians who have just been in rebellion; and
one of the welI-founded complaints of the
Indians is that neither the original treaty to
that effect nor General Crooks subsequent
pledges have been made good.
Neither is it necessary TO taxa exception
10 our correspondents statement of the duty
VI society to care for the poor and destitute
bi civilized life, except as to its relevance
N this connection. If there is any COM
AhelJer for the unfortunate people who cam
not provide those neceSsaries for themselves,
that community is disgrace to civilization.
Its violation otjustice and duty is not quite
so wanton as in the case of the Indians be-
cause it has not the feature of breaking
solemn pledges for which the consideration
has been obtained. If any community had
a set of people from whom it had obtained a
surrender of their claim on valuable prop
erty with a pledge to furnish them stated
support, and should then leave them in
destitution, it would be parallel case. But
the social duty of caring for the civilized
poor is an absolute one; and we can only
except from the intimation of our cor
respondent that the people who urge honesty
and philanthropy in caring for the Indians,
are disposed to neglect the same duty with
regard to the destitute of the Caucasian
race.
But the peculiar feature of the letter to
which we refer is the statement that the dis
honesty of Indian administration is pro-

MIDDLETowN, Jan. sc. W. Hubbard, of
this city, has the smartest pet fox in Connecti-
cut. He dwells in handsome keDnel and is at
liberty to roam about little yard which is in
closed with a high paling. Reynard has a
pretty good time, plays funny antics in his
yard, and in return for his performances all
the boys and girls in the neighborhood stuff
him with all sorts of food and bonbons, But a
horde of rats that lurk under an adjacent
building are the pest of his life, for they sally
forth into his little domain when he sleeps, and
steal all the bones and tidbits left after his
meals.
at length Reynard, wearied with their perse-
cutions, dug deep hole and therein buried all
the scraps from his meal; but the rats found
the cache and robbed it habitually. Then he
concocted a deep plot, whereby he got the best
of his enemies. The other day he gathered all
the bones and other eatables in his yard, dug
new hole near the burrow of the rats, and in it
buried his stores.
Then he lay down in a retired part of the
yard and pretended to be asleep, and presently
a big gray rat emerged from the burrow. crept
to Reynards srorehouse, and fell to work dig
