THE rage for the erection of new coun-
ties out of old ones is becoming more
rabid in this state than ever. No less
than four new counties are now carved
out, by bills before the legislature, from
Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San
Diego counties. We are particularly
interested in the partition of our own
county, and whilst we nave no serious
objection to the creation of San Antonio
county, yet our interests demand that
we should be consulted as to the deini-
tion of the boundary lines of the new
county. The great majority OF the
people of Los Angeles county are
anxious that these should be go fixed
that we would find no difficulty in Gre
ating q city and county government out
of the territory left. If we were left
with a compact territory we could do
this; but if we permit the new counties
to establish their boundary lines merely
to suit themselves, we shall find Los
Angeles with too wide scope of terri
tory for the convenient carrying out OF
this project. 1t seems to us that the
taxpayers association recently organ
lied here should take some practical
step in this matter. They should insist
on a revision of the lines of the pro-
posed new counties on the basis that
Los Angeles will be in position to be-
come city and county, with only one
government for the administration Of ita
affairs.

Our new mayor, to the astonishmeni
and editication of his friends, has devel.
oped familiarity with scriptures which
nobody had heretofore credited him
with. Especially has this DEVELOPMENT
caused our citizens of the tenderfoot class
to wonder, for they are all firmly pre-
possessed with the idea that old Califor-
mans are heathens, and know as little
about the good book as the natives of
Booriaboola.gha. When the subject of
discouraging the tamale industry came
up before the board of health Thursday
night the mayors feelings were greatly
M stirred, and. in reply to remarks OF Drs.
in an eloquent speech, which ended in
this remarkable peroration: "Better is
a dinner of herbs with contentment than
a stalled mule team with profanity"
DR.. Gillingham, with sacerdotal air
and ssnscrit look, was about to offer
hypercritical corrections of the quota
ton, but evidently got stalled, looked
wise, and said nothing. 1t was fortu-
nate for him that his thoughts did not
find vent in words; for although the
quotation varies from the King James
translation, he was ignorant Of the exact
rendering in the new version, and
possibly was doubtful whether his
honor the mayor were not getting
out version of his own of the good
book. And he thought, why not Cal
iforniaize the SMILES and replace the
''stalled OK" with stalled mule team,
and "hatred" with the word profanity
We admire the DOCTORS discretion and
agree with the mayor that the stalled
mule team is an improvement over the
stalled OK. His honor will doubtless
bring the board up to round turn with
many surprises before his term ends
and may before he retires not only have
to quote the Bible to the board of health
but to all the bodies under his jurisdic
ton. 1t used to be the custom in olden
times to place short and opposite texts
over the portals of public buildings
and our mayor is seriously searching
the scriptures for one to place over the
doors of the city hall. As he is especial
ly fond of the book of Proverbs he will
doubtless select the proverb which
precedes that of the stalled OK, and or
namsnt the entrance with this sugges
tive text: "Better is little, even with {
great appetite, than San Gabriel golt
mine and trouble Herewith"

crat.
AS a secretary of state Blaine did not
have the opportunity to make an endur-
ing reputation. The assassination OF
Garfield cut short his tenure of office
almost before he had had time to shape
the policy of his department. Very
shortly after again accepting the port
folio of state under Harrison his
deplorsble illness set in. His phys
ical ailments were aggravated by
most poignant grieis. His eldest
and favorite son, Walker Blaine, who
was making a fine record as assistant
secretary of state, died. Then followed
the death of his favorite daughter, Mrs.
Coppinger. To leave no doubt that
misfortune had marked him for his own.
his son Emmons Blaine, most promis-
ing young man, died few days after
the adjournmento of the Minneapolis con-
vention. 1t looked as if he was the vic
tim OF relentless fate, and his annoy
ance and grief were intensified by the
course OF his wayward son, James G.
Blaine, jr., who, with Mrs. Walter Dam
rosch, were all that were left of his once
large and interesting family. But lin
tied as were his opportunities for achiev-
ing distinction in the state department,
his correspondence with the Italian
government in the Malta matter, and
with Chile, in our recent embroglio with
that country, showed flashes OF his old
genius and force.
Yes, 1T is hard for the American people
to part with Blaine They had all grown
to be fond of him. He was a unique
and interesting parsonage, whether in
public or in private life. If he had
faults it is not the purpose OF this
article to pick them out. We have an
eye only to the lovable and winning
traits of the man. We recall only his
noble presence, his magnetic eye, his
gift of oratory that could vile the birds
from the bushes, his gracious manner,
and his genuine kindliness of heart.
We remember also that he belonged to
our own newspaper guild, and that he
built his way up to fame, fortune and
exalted station by good and hard news
paper work, and we feel like saying of
him, as gentle Q1een Catharine said Of |

The Gasoline Stove.

About 8 O'Clock yesterday morning the
barber shop of r. T. Wheeler and the
tailor shop of S. Factor on South Spring,
between Third and Fourth streets. were
burned.
Wheeler's loss is about $500, with no
insurance, and Factors loss is about
$400, with 5000 insurance.
The fire originated from the explosion
of a gasoline stove which the Italian
bootblack, who had stand in front of

Italian fed up the street, frightened at

THE INHERITANCE TAX.

Within the past few years a form OF
taxation, known as the ''inheritance tax
has grown in popularity with different
governments and among different states.
While it differs in form, the idea of tax
ing personal property bequeathed to
heirs is the primo object wherever the
system is in vogue. The two arguments
briefly presented in its favor are that it
makes probate courts self-sustaining,
and furnishes a revenue to the state,
and hat it checks the dangerous accu-
mutation of wealth by distributing it in
other channels. The state of New York.
for instance, taxed the estate Of Jay
Gould 100000 under this system, which
also prevails in Connecticut, Maesa
chusetts, New Jersey, West Virginia,
Delaware and Pennsylvania. 1t has eX-
isted in the latter state since 1926. IT
is found in Europe in Italy, Austria,
Spain, Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Norway and Russia and in Australia. III
tax on property left to direct heirs is
greater than that left to indirect heirs
because in the latter case the divisions
arc usually smaller and the property i.
mere scattered.
The feature which has called for the
special endorsement Of the milder clas.
Of socialists, and, indeed, of Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie, is the regulation Of the tal
according to the amount of property
LETT. That is, that there should be
rate, for instance, Of five per cent. OF
personal property Inherited to tho value
of 100000, and increased according tc
the higher value. MIR. Carnegie woull
have d tax Of even fifty per cent. on as
many or more millions.
The fact that tho inheritaoce tax
thongh but recently introduced in Nav
York, finds approval from all classes IL
that great state, would Indicate that

niAiNM IN HISTORY.

The csteemed Herald remarks: THE
independent questions whether the
late James G. Blaine can be classed as a
statesman, and rs a reason TO tho con-
trary says in substance, that he ia not
identified with any great policies. This
seems to be- an i~nexcusable mis-state-
ment."
Oh, no, not a mis-statement at all.
Opinions differ as to Mr.. Blaine's
achievements. Here is tho Portland
Oregonian, for instance, an able re-
publican journal, which takes exactly
the same Wow of Mr.. Blaine as was OK
pressed in tho independents article.
Says the Oregonian
Glamour hides and aistoits what Blaine
was, but cannot magnify what he did. No
man ever occupied SO La sc Il space in the
Public eye for so long and left so small q
fruitase Of pe formsnoe: so petty a heritage
for posterity in the statute books or the
history of his country. MIR. Blaine has
filled every station in American public life
but the highest; had power to shape legis-
lation in congress for ten years, and
welded high administrative junction for
five; has been the leader OF his rarity for ten
years in the absolute sense which has no
parallsl in civil American history this side
of jackson, and has left no record of en-
during performance to tell future gener-
atiens that he lived. twenty years q MEM
Der of congress-, his name i'd associated with
no great work of legislation. Twice sec
retary of state, history will connect his
name with no achievement of permanent
value to the country. With respectable
powers of inteliecs ana mastery of the arts
OF speech. he followed neither the path OF
Webster AZ Il great constitutional ex-
FOUNDER, nor that OF Clay rs one who con-
secrated high powers of persuasive ~otatory
to pat lotto purposes. In congress and in
the cabinet, he wes first. last and always,
both 9 leader and servant of party. This
task absorbed his powers and he won sue
cess in it. lie was Il great party leader.
This is a form of success whose reward is
wholly contemporary. 1t gives no title to
the recognition OF history.
The Herald mentions Mr.. Blaine's
Pan-American scheme to disprove our
assertion, but that was as unsubstantlal
as a dream. John J.. ingalls, has had,
for years, q vision of what he calls can
ocean bound republic" Il theme upon
which he had made eloquent speeches,
in which he pictures the time when the
flag of the United States will float over
Canada and South America. Mr.. In
gals is a brilliant man but history will
not rank him as a statesman. We can
all agree that Mr.. Blaine was the most
brilliant politician Of his time. AS to
whether he was more than that history
viii have to determine after his public
acts have stood the test Of time.

BROADWAIER COUNTY,.

A Missouri Valley Republican Corrects
some OF "V S" Statements.
To The INDEPENDENT: Referring to an
article in your valued paper by "another
W" in regard to Broalwater county, it
seems necessary to correct some of the
Misleading statements made. The pur-
pose OF NJ w. is very evident, since, as
q member of the court house ring, he has
grown fat at the expense OF the taxpayers
and is willing to adopt any method to be
allowed to do SO in the futurs. The charge
that false statements have been made in
regard to the amount of assessable property
in the new county does not stick we'll, con-
siloring that WIS own figures prove Us at
least very nearly correct. The reni facts
IN the case are these: The tax levy in
Meagher county was 1919 mills, and the
county has been run IL debt at tho
rate OF $4,000 per year for the
last four years, according to tho last
grand jury report. Not only this, but the
county still continues to ran in debt at the
same rate and when the constitutional
limit is reached, which will be- this yea
the tax levy will have to be over 20 mills to
keep even. Taking W's figures as correct
the county of Broadwater Will. with q levy
of l513 mills. have 800, 25O to pay running
expenses outside of school and state taxes.
Again taking WIS figures the expense of the
I new county VIII bb 40 -
81, 200, sheriff -, 100. assessor $1,000. clerk
and recorder $1,000. clerk of the district
court ~. 500. county attorney $500, superin-
tendent of schools $1,000. msking in all
$12.0 00 tor salaries. At II high estimate We
ind tho other expenses are: Roads $4,000,
pocr 81, 900. witnesses, Jurors, etc, $1,000.
expense of the sheriff in criminal cases and
board of prisoners $1,000, making a
grand total OF $4,000. This will
leave $1,000 in the treasury from
the taxes p oper. Outside of this we expect
to get some eyeuue from licenses and from
fees (about So. 0o0.J Tn above figures must
show, TO the satisfaction of any disinter-
ested rnrty, that at the end Of every year
the taxpayers Of Broadwater county will be
at lsast Ave mills better OF than they would
rs as subjects of White Sulphur Springs,
besides having fheir money spent at home
instead of aending it awav. We do not ex-
gect to initiate the present system oil
Mea9het county of having u county CLERK
and four deputies to record one instrumsn
eyory two or three days, or to have four ex-
pensive officers in the sheritfs office to

No matter how We may look at the propose
change, 1t ig certain TO be of great bench

posed now county.
