and In many other states assessors have
no power to compel schedule. En-
TAKE. High Enough-AItgeld's Pies.

Gov. Altge1d said to the state board
OF equalization:
1t is true that some wealthy real
estate owners up there are able occa-
sionally to make an arrangement with
the local assessor, whereby their own
individual property gets of with about
third OF the taxation that other prop
erty around them Of like value has TO
bear. This is true, no doubt, but it Is
always done by some private arrange
ment between these property owners
and the local assessor. ! noticed that
it happened recently. that that kind of
an assessment, being perhaps one piece
of property in a thousand in q locality
which had been underassessed, was cit
ed to you here as the manner in which
real estate was assessed in Chicago I
understand that some of these property
owners who have been thus assessed
have made an onslaught upoI the rail-
roads. Now, while the railroad COM
panies are good people, and when you
let them alone are not disposed to
trouble you, yet they will hit back, like
all of us, and they have called your at
tention to these assessments in Chicago
Now, it will mislead you to take those
examples as fair specimens of Cook
county's assessments
EVERY FARM DIVIDED INTO LOTS
Again. they have gone to work up
there-our enterprising men who want
to make fortunes in a day-and have
subdivided about every farm for about
twenty or twenty-five miles out, and in
some cases thirty miles out They

Cook county into lots They have laid
out avenues and high-titled streets and
all that The result is that we have al.
most millions of lots in Cook county
the real market value Of which is only
what they are worth for farming pur-
poses When you add these million or
two million of lots to the lots that are
in the city of Chicago proper and at
tempt to make an average of their as
sessment, it would seem as if the lots
in Chicago were assessed low. The lo-
cal assessors usually assess these out
lying lots at 81 so, or something like
that When you bring in all that out.
lying property and add it to the lots in
Chicago it would seem that the Chicago
lots were assessed too low. Yet if you
take the lots in Chicago alone, you will
find that the taxes are high there. My
observation has been that man who
has house or cottage worth $4,000
generally pays from $a5 to $50 taxes. /
think you will find, as rule, they pay
nearly IL per cent. on the actual
market value.
Whenever you increase the burden OF
Cook county it falls on the great masses
of the people-on the little homes.

From the Farmers Union League
Advocate.

Is it worse to require the wealthy to
assess and return their annual gains
and incomes for taxation than it is to
compel the farmer to list his property,
his hogs, sheep, horses, grain and other
possessions for that purpose, or to re-
quire him to disclose the amount and
value of the product he raises? Is it
more Objectionable to require iron and
steel trusts, Irvine and sugar trusts,
banks, bankers and bondholders, rail-
road kings and millionaires to list and
pay taxes on their excessive accumula-
tions than it is to give inquisitorial
powers and legal license to assessors
and tax gatherers of the country, to
wiring from the farmer, the mechanic
and the laboring poor, under the sane
ton of soul-searching test oaths,
framed with the most exhaustive con-
ditions. a full and complete disclosure
of their little property, in bank and
out of it, and require them to surrender
it up to the tender mercies and exac-
tions of arbitrary officials and the laws
of the country.
(The Tax Reform association thinks
it is no worse.-Secretary)
One of the very fippant and empty
objections put forward, from time to
time, by the moralists on the other
side, is that this system of taxation of
fers premium on rascality, and has q
tendency to promote lying and perjury.
This is the poorest logic as we'll as the
most questionable morality. 1t is as
serted that while the honest man will
make fair and full return of his prop
I'D h<a,
to pay taxes thereon, his dishonest
rival and competitor in business will,
through false returns, supplemented by
false swearing, escape the payment of
Il just proportion OF his taxes and thus
distance his honest neighbor and COM
petitor in the race of commendable
commercial life. And SO injustice must
be done to the entire business public,
for fear of tempting the ill-disposed
and dishonest members of the COM
munity-
WHO OUGHT TO SUFFER INJUsTICE?)
conclusive answer practically to
these objections is to be found in the
fact that the same objections might be
taken, and with much greater force TO
every other system of taxation that
now exists or could be substituted for
it. In all the states of the union the
tax assessors have the power to require
aiI persons, companies and others TO
schedule and make returns OF the prop
erty, credits and SO forth, under oatn,
with unqucstioned powers, needs
be, of examination under oath,
of persons to be assessed, and with
po-us- to assess parties refusing to

"But he tells me-" the Philadelphia
beauty answered, with a pretty pout,
''that he is pledged to join a large hunt

''What will you go to hunt, Fitz-

calmly:

with unusual awkwardness for her,
caught her hounce upon a carved chair
and fed upstairs to repair damages.

pered:

The ladies' dressing-room showed no
occupant to the girls glance through
its door; and, passing up the dark stair
way beyond, to the third story, she
tapped softly at closed door, entering
without pausing for reply.
A bowed female form before the fire
raised suddenly at the sound, from the

The Straight Tax.

New Zealand is less affected by the
present commercial stringency than
any other country in the world It is
due to the straight tax. About three
years ago q new system of taxation
went into effect. Personal property is
not taxed. improvements to the
amount of eli, 900 on each holding are
exempted. There is also an income tax,
but incomes OF less than 81 200 are ex-
empted. There is also graduated
tax on unimproved lands, increasing
the rate on holdings valued at s25, 600
and upward A perpetual leasehold"
bill allows any one to have an al1ot-
ment of crown land in perpetuity
without purchase by paying the unim-
proved ground rent It has stopped
the sale of crown lands, but has
fastened their settlement. Big land
holders and absentees are selling
off their land in small lots. Any
holder of unimproved land dissat-
isfied with the assessment can surren-
der it to the government at that valua-
ton, and some have done SO. The col
ony is very prosperous. The govern
ment has surplus funds on hand
London capitalist complains bitterly
because there is no demand for British
capital in New Zealand.
London plan of assessing tho
cost of local improvements on the

creased in value by them, is familiar
