Gov. Flower. of New York, in his re-
cent message to his state Legislature. refers
to the ''alleged disparity of tax burdens
borne by personal property and real
estate" and points out that "either
through faulty assessments or the oppor-
tunity which the laws formerly afforded
for swearing of by allowing deductions
IN the assessment OF personal property for
all just debts" there is belief that
''many millions Of dollars worth of per-
sonal property have escaped taxation alto
gether." Gov. Flower makes the astound-
ing charge that although the state has
been increasing in wealth at tremendous
rate during the last twenty years, the actual
assessed raIuation Of personal property
uas less tn 1921 than IN 1871 BY
$1,000, 000. This swearing off of personal
property is notorious everywhere but it
has become an enormous evil in New
York city as the personal property of the
state is held to large extent in the city of
New York, and the tax upon it is shirked
by the great corporations doing business
there. Since 1871 the elevated railways
have been built and huge corporations
have been established representing enor.
nous personal property of various kinds,
despite which fact the state is $50, 900 900
poorer in this variety Of wealth than it
was twenty years ago.
A correspondent of the New York Sun
strongly argues that tax on land alone is
the only equitable tax for the following
reasons:
Since land is absolutely the source of all
wealth, and acquires value only by having labor
expended upon it, it is plain that ii land be
taxed at its market value at the time of taxation,
then all wealth, all labor and all personal prop
erty is necessarily included in the amount of
taxation then imposed. lot on Broadway, we
will suppose, is i'm proved by the owner by the
erection upon it of q fve-s,ory building, the
several q oors of which are rented to merchants,
manufacturers, corporations, lawyers and
Others. The rent OF the land Is paid by the
landlord o the city collector, and il apportioned
among the tenants of the building in sucn man
Der and amount as 10 return to the owner in
terest OH the cost OF the land, well as interest
On cost OF building, and the cost OF insurance and
repairs. Possibly, Also the taxes on the land, in
some cases, are included. For the sake of sim
plifyng the illustration let US say that there
among the tenants baker, a tailor. halter and
asnoemaker. Each OF these occupants in esti-
mating the cost Of his adds, OF course, the
rent he pays for his place OF business and col.
lects ii from the customers TO whom he sells the
goods. In this way the tax on the land Is diff
fused so that no member OF the community es-
cnpes taxation. What is equally essential the
tax il also equs.ied, since every person pays
taxes in proportion 10 his means and his ex-
pentitures. Every land owner becomes a re-
spoons BILE tax collector.

SFAT7LE, WEDNESDAY. JAN. "a
THE SENATORIAL DEADLOCK.


The senatorial deadlock remains IN
broken. Judge Turner is out with proc
iamation stating that he is the one alto
gether lovely, good man, chief among ten
thousand, whom 1.-THE railroads" have not
been able to persuade 20 90 wrong. The
proclamation will not help Judge Turner
to any votes. Senator Aliens course in
the senate makes it unnecessary 10 pose
before the people as either the fulsome
friend or demagogue foe Of the railroads;
he is bound 10 sac that the rights of the
people are justly protected against all cor
porations that come within the reach Of
Federal legislation; and he is bound to be
equally just to all corporations who are
seeking nothing but justice under the law
OF congress.
Senator Aliens character is INDICATED
by his official service and conduct, and does
not need to be "vIndicated" by any super
fuous personal proclamation. Judge
Turner's personal proclamation inspires
the same kind Of confidence that is Gre
ated by any other kindred egotistIc asser-
tons. "Mr. Jones is very able man."
said Mr. Smith. How do you known"
said Mr.. Jones. How do know? Why,
] have only just left him; and he
said he was not simply the peer but the
superior in ability of any man in the
state That settles it.''
Judge Turner's friends will be claiming
today that he is the only conscience"
Republican in the state and will quote
Judge Turner's assertion to that effect as
proof positive that he is incorruptible.
This kind of logic is very like that of the
fellow who swore that he had seen his
brother take a bull by the horns and tail
and throw hun over the fence. To ali
skeptics he said, II know it's so, for I've
seen the bull" The public has seen
Judge Turner'S proclamation that he is
the only candidate that does not wear
the railroad ring in his nose, and of course
that settles it. The presence and energetic
efforts of notorious Northern Pacific lob
byists, who are striving TO defeat Allen
and elect Turner, makes the judges
proclamation about as convincing as the
confirmation of an incredible bull story
by a man who has "seen the bull"
We have all read the proclamation Of
Judge Turner that he is the only candi-
date who is not either the tool or the
fool of the railroads, and yet we see
the railroad lobby working for Turner and
against Allen. Somebody is fooled either
Judge Turner or the lobby; Either Judge
Turner does not understand himself. or
the railroad lobby misunderstands him.
Either Judge Turner is not so good IS he
says he is. or he is great deal better than
the lobby think he Is.

Allen Ought to Be at Olympia.


The enemies OF Alien charge it was crime
for him to leave the United States senate to Sc
cure his reelection Well, theyi ali do it, when
X appears necessary, and the enorInity o! the
crime is not apparent. The fierce warfare of
personal parrisanship psr,akes more OF a crime
than the alleged heinous offsnse of q personal
supervision over ones own interests, when his
individual success will finally rebound TO the
interest of the commonwealth. We notice in
England 1t is good form for Gladstone and Lord
Salisbury to personally look after their own po-
ntical interests, TO the end that the English na-
ton shall be benefited. Il is not certain that
q good competent man may not be working
much for the interest of his state as himself By
being present in ii when SO important an Office
United states senator is to be filed. That the
state is more fundamentally interested in the
matter than the individual is true. A good man
fighting for pre-eminence is not bad spectacle
If the means he uses are legitimate. II his pub
lie record proves him competent and honest, all
the more is he justified in his effort 70 continue
to serve the state.
