The Tao Question.

Mr.. j. Harry Preston, who is son
of Mr.. James b. Preston, of this county,
on Tuesday night delivered q lecture
before the Taxpayers Association OF
Baltimore on Takes and the Propos-
ed New Assessment" Mr.. Preston
reviewed in an interesting manner the
history of taxation and said that a
new assessment is needed in order to
equalize taxation.
For the proposed new tax measure
Mr.. Preston suggested the following
features
81. A permanent board of assessors,
or at least periodical assessments of
not longer than five years.
2. A substantial re enactment of the
present law with respect to the taxa
ton of corporations.
3. A provision allowing the city of
Baltimore to pass its own tax laws
and make its own assessments for the
purposes of local taxation.
4. The listing system and an annual
assessment of personally.
AS to permanent board of asses
sors or periodical assessments, 1t is
clear that some method should be de-
vised by which the public strain and
tension which the demand for a new
assessment has occasioned should be
removed The only sensible way is
to provide for either a continuous al
ways acting board Of assessors by
whom every piece Of real property
should be examined and reassessed
every five years at most, or total reas-
sessment OF real estate at intervals OF
not more than five years. The tax
commission Of 1888 recommended a
tri-yearly assessment of real estate
and an annual assessment Of person.

"A little ripple WAS crea ted in polit-
ical circles, this week, by an alleged
discourtesy to Speaker Crisp on the
part OF the Reform Club Of New York.
The Speaker was invite d to attend
the dinner given to Mr.. Cleveland
by the club in New York, last Satur-
day night. Believing he would be
called on for speech he prepared one,
but was not asked to deliver it. I'm
fortunately he had in advance given
copies to the Associated Press and
hence he was subjected to NO little
modification. The managers Of the
entertainment disclaim any intention
Of discourtesy to Speaker Crisp and
say that many other distinguished
gentlemen were present who were not
asked to speak. Mr.. Crisp, probably,
does not feel the supposed slight rs
keenly as his friends, but none Of them
has any real cause for being agglieved,

A rad congress which met in

"A rad congress which met in In
dianapolis last week favored law
declaring it unlawful to haul any
loaded wagon over county roads with
tires less than three inches in width.
The fact has been observed by all
who have given attention to the sub
ject that our public roads are damaged
more by narrow-tread wagons than by
the elements. They are especially
injurious to newly made naeadamiHed
roads. In foreign countries noted for
their good roads the use of narrow
tread wagons is prohibited by law.
The city councils OF Philadelphia,
also, has passed law requiring omni-
buses to have four-inch tries and to
pay a tax Of 900 each.

thrift TAXATION MUST BE RE-
DUCED.

The people of the United States by
more than half a million votes declar-
ed unequivocally their desire that a
reform should be made in our tariff
laws in order that the burden of sup
porting the general government might
be more equally distributed 1t was
no sudden within or desire for a redis-
tribution of the offices which led to
this overwhelming expression of pub
lie opinion, but an earnest, deep
seated conviction that the tariff policy
OF the government is wrong that no
justification can be made for a. war
tariff in time of peace, and still less
for an increase of tariff upon the ne
cessaries of life. Ordinarily it is not
usual for the newly elected Congress
to hold its first session until Decem-
Der of the year succeeding it's election
Following this course it would be q
year before Congress would begin to
discuss the tariff question and with
the distractions that self-interested
persons might throw in the way it
might be year or two longer before
a new tariff law would go into effect.
1t is not strange, therefore, that the
people are disposed to be impatient
under their sufferiDgs and anxious to
see, as soon as possible, some good re-
suits from their victory.
The proposition for an extra session
of Congress has been discussed and
serious objections made thereto
Lately, however, suggestion has
been made by which all difficulties
woulu be obviated and the new policy
of the government enter into effect at
the earliest possible moment This is
that the present Congress shall pass
a bill for a tariff commission to form
a law that would be equitable and
just to every industry. The House of
Representatives, being Democratic,
would doubtless consent to such u
plan, but it is doubtful whether the
Republican Senate, which is domin-
ated by influences hostile to any modi-
fication of the present tariff except,
perhaps its increase, would have pa
triotism enough or sufficient regard
for the clearly expressed will Of the
people to pass the bill suggested.
Therefore, if the Congress now in ses-
sion shall not provide for tariff revi-
sion it may be necessary for President
Cleveland to call an extra session.
A commission could then be appointed
and meantime Congress could give
immediate though partial relief by
placing foreign articles needed by our
manufacturers wholly or partially on
the free list.
Under all circumstances, however,
the people have confidence in Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland's ability and hon
esty of purpose and will acquiesce
calmly and patiently in his decision,
whatever it may be.

LIFE =. INSURANCE !
OF NEW YORK.

NTANY YEARS have elapsed since life
lvl insurance passed beyond its inchoate
and experimental stage to become in
corpOrated in the texture of our social, COM

important interests of the common veal. In q

600 are invested for the owners of policies, to
protect estates, and to safeguard the loved in
mates OF thousands of American homes
To-day, wise and far-seeng investors not
only recommend life insurance in strong terms,
but they do more. BY becoming purchasers
of policies Of various kinds and for varying
amounts, running along the line Of from one
