London, Nov. 24.-The Chronicle an

Campanini at Parma
Campanfni was born at Parma, italy

TAXATION REFORM.

Nothing that has come before
the present session has been re-
ceived with more general satisfac-
ton than the bill of the Minister
of Finance to amend the tax law
Mr.. Damon is on the right track
if the things that have made our
taxation system largely a farce are
to be considered. 1t is and has
always been notorious that the
sugar plantations have not paid
their due proportion of internal
taxes, owing TO the baldest species
of under. valuation made by their
directories to the assessors.
Plantations have been taxed on
valuations as low as one-siXth of
THEN selling value, and still lower
in some cases when compared with
the capital stock of incorporated
estates. While the Minister is on
the right track as to his object, it
is doubtful il the changing
of the date of assessment
from the middle to the beginning
of the year will prove a complete
remedy. The principle Of taxing
the growing or unmarketed crops,
is, in the opinion Of people who
have given thought to the matter,
not a correct one. 1t is not ac-
cording to the practice of older
countries There are sugar men
here who denounce it. If accident
or conditions of weather destroy
or damage the crop before it is
harvested, after it has gone down
on the assessors books, the owner
loses both the thing taxed and the
taxes levied thereon. Also it will
have to be proved by experience
that the change of time by assess
ment will not be met by some
fresh ingenuity for evading an
adequate valuation. Why moi
make the assessmentupon the basis
of the entire yield of every estate,
great or small, for the whole year
preceding the date Of assessment?
Also, assess estates at their full
market value, as is done in the
cases of small property owners?
The taxing OF the crop could not
be Justly regarded as an export
tax, to subject the country to dis
elimination in the United States
tariff on that ground. 1t would be
virtually taxing of this years

PUBLIC INFORMATION.

When the Legislature asks for
information on any subject, the
Government, according to all par
liamentary practice, is supposed
to comply Internationally with
the request. When the Min
lister of Finance, therefore, the
other day stated that the informa-
ton he laid before the Senate in
regard to the assessment of corpo-
rations was confidential, he was up
on untenable ground. Everything
that comes before the Legislature,
except in executive sessions of the
Senate, ought to be public proper
ty. It is the privilege of Min
lister to refuse information for
estate reasons" but, when he does
give information in open session
of either branch of the Legisla-
ture, there is no recognized rule
whereby he may suppress the pub
LEGATION of the intelligence. In
the case in point the Minister SEEM
ed to screen corporations from
the searchlight of publicity, al
though If there is one thing of
which the general public is jea-
lous it is corporate capital. Mr..
Damon probably "did not think"
Ms he has always been a stickler
for having public affairs exposed
to the full light of day. He will
have to make q few more mistakes
like the one here criticised before
he becomes liable to be accused of
being afraid Interpretations. The
foregoing was written before the
Advertiser of this morning was
printed. That paper takes the
ground that the public has as
much right to see the assessment
rolls as has the Senate committee.
1t, however, explains that the Min
lister of Finance made known his
readiness to make public the fig
ures referred to, if the Senate
called for them" According to
this the figures were not given to
the press men because the Senate
as a body felt a tender regard for
the sensibilities OF corporations.
By the way, what authority was
it, many moons ago, which gave
to newspaper the comparative
ratings of republican and royalist
individuals and corporations, to
enable such newspaper to illus
trate to the world the claimed
strength of the cause it was advo-
catino ?
