Good Conntrx Roads.

Although much neglected, tho subject
OF country roads is one OF the most vital

1t can thus be seen that real estate in
Pennsylvania is paying about So per cent,
OF all property taxes, while in Illinois it
pays 69.S per cent, in Indiana 64.S per
cent and in Ohio 63.4 per cent. There is
complaint in those states that a portion Of
their personal property still escapes taxa

place just portion of the public burdens
on personal and corporate property have
not been entirely futile.

the tax law is so speedily and so COM
pletelv exposed as in this case. The peo-
pie are not complaining. They have had
their assessments made and know just
what they will have to pay, and they see
that what was told them about doubling
and trebling their taxes is false, except in
cases where republican officials have in
creased the levies on increased appraise-
ments TO make the law odious. and SO
manufacture little cheap political capt.
tai. But these cases have been exposed,
and the blame is located where it right
fully belongs. Now comes the test OF the
other branch OF the republican prediction,
and the corporations with one accord give
the lie to it. And notice, too, that they
have practically nothing to say about any
injustice in their assessments. What they
base their objections on are the constitu-
tional safeguards OF property, which theyde-
clare have been trampled under foot. This
inQuisitorial system which for the first time
in the history OF Indiana has put them on
an equal footing with other taxpayers Is
to them the most damnable iniquity ever
concocted. Expect corporation to pay
taxes on the real value OF its property
Why, it is preposterous. No one ever
heard of such thing before, and stop
must be put to it at once.
Something like was heard of once be-
fore, however. Before the war demo
cratic legislature passed a law for the
equalization OF taxes that gave the state
board power to do justice, but unfortu-
nately the composition OF the board was so
made that its sessions were declared lie
gal by the supreme court. The attack on
that law was made by the corporations
also, but who ever heard of corporations
Directing to a republican tax law? Dur
ing all the republican control of the state
the corporations were perfectly content,
and paid the taxes assessed by a special
board, which they now insist is unconsti-
tutional and tyrannous. VIII any one
point out republican tax law that was
Objectionable to corporations?

The "vindication" of Judge Woods

The "VindicatiOn" OF Judge Woods.
Judge WooDs is probably not SO much
mortified, as some men would be under
the circumstances, at the narrow margin
by which lac has been confirmed as
justice of the circuit court. \ man who
was willing to pay the price he has paid
for Judicial preferment is not likely 10
worry much over things that, to a really
sensitive person, would be humiliating in
the extreme. SO we suppose Judge
WOODS is as happy as a man with guilty
conscience can be, although he escaped
defeat by a margin Of but one vote after
his nomination had been hung up over
three months, despite the fact that every
resource the administration could CON-
mand, every influence it could enlist was
exhausted in his behalf; that his confrma-
ton was political necessity to the presi-
dent and the republican party, and that
such pressure was put upon the senators
OF his own party in his interest as would
have severely tested the backbone OF an
ANDREW JACKSON or a GROVER CLEVELAND.
Yet with all these forces at mis- back and
with all the presidents fsSoring the con-
frmation of judicial nominations without
party division, save under the most ex-
ceptional circumstances, only twenty-five
out of the forty-seven republican senators
(or little more than one-half) stood by
him; the two third-party senators voted
against him, and not single democratic
senator yielded to the piteous appeals of
Judge WOODS and his friends to come TO
his rescue.
If this kind of "vindication" is salts
factory to Judge WOODS, and il his friends
and admirers think it justifies them in
rendering him their congratulations, we
are sure those who like TIE SENTINEL
and Senators VOORHEES, and TURPIE, have
opposed mis- elevation from a high sense Of
public duty have no reason TO complain.
We do not believe there are many men of
either party in the United States who
would consent to accept a Judicial office
under such circumstances. Judge WOODS
takes it, of course. and doesn't try to con-
ceal the fact that he is mighty glad TO get
IL, even as it came. We are sure. how
ever. no honest, selfrespecting man any
where, democrat or republican, envies
him his position or would will lingly change
places with him.

taxpayers. In Wisconsin a large part
of the state taxes are paid by rail-
roads. but railroads are exempted from
taxation for local purposes. The taxes
paid by railroads in Indiana, under
the new system, are at least so per cent
greater than in Wisconsin, in proportion
to the market value of the property. In
his last report the railroad commissioner
of Wisconsin complains that sleeping-car
companies pay no taxes at all on business

express companies pay no taxes on business
whatever. The present system in Wis

years. The latest official reports of that

systems of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
in the interest OF corporations, will it
kindly explain in whose interest it does

Journal is informed that the new tax law
was drawn by Senator TIMOTHY +. Howard
in accordance with plans agreed upon by
joint session OF the senate committee on
finance and the house committee on ways
and means.

hypocrite in Indiana it is the man who,

two men of the opposite party charged
with election frauds, and from the same
bench afterward stultifed himself. re-
versed his own rulings. and outraged all

epithet to distinguished and honorable

IT has been urged against the new tax
'aw that IL Increases the proportional bur
len OF taxation borne by real estate. This
ls untrue, as any one may see by examin.
ing the figures. The total assessment for
1891 is 81 .2l9, s07. 800. OF this amount
S797.8ls,ll7 is realty, exclusive OF railroad
property. and this lie 63.S per cent. Of the
total. In 1890. the total on the duplicate
Was Ss43, ls3. l66, OF which S545. .l57
was realty. exclusive OF railroad property,
or 64.7 per cent OF the total. Hence real
estate now bears nearly one per cent. less
of the total burden than formerly. In
1901 the railroad assessment is SlG0.S09,-
575. which is 1919 per cent OF the total. In
1890 the railroad property was sos. "a, 933,
which was rs per cent. OF the total. The
burdea Of all remaining private property
is 23.3 per cent. in 1891, and in 1890 it was
27.s per cent. This result was attained by
the new tax law notwithstanding the in
ability Of the state board to reach deposits

courts.
