TAX RATES.

A morning journal contends that per-
capita rate of taxation resulting from adding
the cost Of street improvements TO general
expenses is not fair statement of the COM
parative tax rate in this and other cities.
The fact will not be disputed, however, that
the cost of street improvements is added
to the amount of general taxes. 1t is mat
ter of law whether the individual property
holders should be required to construct
streets and sewers in the block in which
their property is situated or whether that
work should be done at general expense.
Justice requires that the law should be uni
ioIm-that property-holders who have con-
strueted streets and sewers at their own
expense should not be made TO pay for SIM
liar work on the property of other property
owners. If individuals conforming TO uni
form law and custom spend S1,50O,000 in
putting streets i'll front Of their property in
the required condition for acceptance an
equal sum is deducted from the general ex-
pendiiure. The assumption is that indi-
vlduals would do certain amount Of work
for less money than the Street Department
would eXpeEd on the same work. This as
sumption is partially impaired by the out
rageous rates the Buckley evening organ
charges for advertising street work, but it
may still be substantially true. The money
expended on streets, therefore, should be as
clearly added TO the general expenditures
in making up the total of taxation as the
money expended on the public schools. In
Guiding street improvements and district
improvements, which, under another sys-
tenn, might come out of the general rev.
enue. the sum of 100000 is expended for
local government. The street Improvements
ii;
when finished, public property. They add
TO the value OF private property as good
streets, good schools, an efficient fire de-
parlment and handsome parks do; hut the
men who paid tor them have no personal
ownership in them. If our contemporary
will divide the aggregate of expenditures by
the number of people which are officially
reported as composing the city it will find
that the tax rate exceeds SIS per capita.
OF course a paper which is continually de-
handing that higher rate of taxation be
imposed upon our people does not like this
showing. Ii follows that if other cities can
pay OHe-third, or Whereabouts, of their rev.
enues in interest on their public debt and
still keep the tax rate down to S25 per head,
San Francisco, with substantially no inter-
est to pay. should get along on the same
rate The truth is that. compared with
other American cities, our city is lavish in
its government There are more employees
in proportion 10 the work to be done, and
they are paid higher wages, than in any
other large American city. There is money
enough wasted here to run an Eastern city
with one-third of our population. What the
boodlers call silurianism here would be a
waDton disregard of expense on the basis

THEORY AGAINST FACTS.

A local free-trade contemporary furnished
the public with considerable amusement
early this week by its wild speculation as to
the eject of a protective tariff ON local
manufactures. The fact that our free-trade
contemporary had to deal with was the
statement Of the Assessor that our manu.
factories have increased their product from
valuation OF ST., s24, 800 in 1850 to S1o4, 745-
$50 IL 1880. TIE number Of employees has
increased in the same period from 2S,422 to
SO, 7G5. In view Of the fact that labor aver
ages about Is per cent higher in California
than in the East these ale satisfactory re-
suits. But our free-trade contemporary as
sumes that il the tariff we're abolished the
increase would have been still greater. The
advantages Of this State in respect to climate
enable our manufacturers TO pay California
rates OF wages and still compete in our local
market with Eastern manufacturers. But
if duties were taken off we should be ex-

IRISH EMIGRATION.

In 1874 Ireland had population of 1885,
1874; III 1891 the number Of its people had
decreased to 4,706,162. The decrease has
been continuous. There was no ten-year
period in the fifty years in which the tide
bad been turned In 1ss1 the population to
the square mile was 256; in 1891 it is re-
dueed 10 151. The reason for this deci ease
cannot be found in any unusual density Of
population, since at the highest point the
population Of Ireland to The square mile was
less than that of some European countries.
Nature had no hand in this depopulation.
There has been no scourge OF any kind, none

people from their homes. And yet about

How the Rock Creek Park Commission
Propose to Deal With Them.

How the Rock Creek Park Commission
Propose to Deal with Them.
When The STAR's report closed yesterday
the Rock Greek Park commission was closeted
in Col Roberts private Office, discussing the
best way to deal with the property owners who
had called in response to an invitation from
the commission to discuss the valuation Of
their land. 1t lacked few minutes of clock
when Capt. Rossel emerged from the private
Office Of the Engineer Commissioner and called
for those property owners whose names COM
menced with the letters and B. Several
gentlemen filed into the room.
There was evident dissatisfaction of this pro-
cedure, for hardly had the forms of those who had
been called vanished when Mr.. Henry Wise Gar
nett in a short address objected strenuously to
any star chamber proceedings, and said it was
an injustice to conduct a conference in sections
and in private. 1t was agreed to appoint
committee of three to wait upon the commits
sion and inform it that unless the meeting was
to be public one those remaining would with
draw. Messrs. Maddox, Pairo and Albert were
appointed on the committee and Immediately
entered the room. few minutes after they
commission regretted that there was any mis-
understanding.
The commission declined to hear the griev-
ances Of property owners in mass meeting, but
would be pleased to consult with any individual
owner who cared to remain. The business Of
buying property, he continued, was between
vendor and vendee, and that was the way the
commission proposed to deal with the owners
OF property contained within the boundaries OF
the Rock Creek Park. In reply to question
as to the length Of time owners have to make
their propositions for their land Mr.. Perry
said that they would have until May 16.
The meeting was quite stormy, and was pro-
ductive of little good.
