A DIFFERENCE OF sos, 100000

The question of reform in taxation is
coming to the front in clearer outlines and
with greater force every month and almost
every day. 1t will no more "down' than
would Banquos ghost. Honest and intelI-
igent citizens differ, as might be expected.
concerning the best method OF tax reform.
But no intelligent citizen who has given
the matter investigation doubts for mo-
ment the imperative necessity for radical
changes in our taxation methods. He
knows that the present system is rotten to
the core; that it is prolific source of finan-
cial loss, political corruption and moral
degradation; that it works injustice to the
many, and grants special favors to
few; that it opens the door to favoritism,
fraud. deceit, falsehood, perjury, suborna-
ton of perjury, malfeasance in office, and
many other crimes and misdemeanors
which need not be enumerated. The more
the present system is investigated and
turned inside out the more hideous it APP
pears. The marvel is that it should have
been so long perpetuated by an intelligent
people protesting to be qualified for self
government.
The HERALD has from time to time pre-
sented to its readers important facts and
statistics showing how the fiscal policy of
various states, counties and municipalities
has been used as an engine of oppression
and covering for official rascality. But
now comes a revelation of taxation fraud
more astounding than any we have heard
of except the exposures made by the
Eighth Biennial Report of the Illinois State
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A few weeks ago Mayor Swift of Chicago.
urged on by prominent citizens and tax
reform organizations, appointed a COM
mission to investigate certain alleged
assessment inequalities in that city. The
commissioners have just made report of
their work in part of the principal BUSH
ness district. The territory covered is that
bounded by State street on the east. Madi-
son street on the south and the river on
the north and west. Within that area are
most, though not all, of the very large
and costly business blocks, hotels and
theaters of the 'Gown town. district. Land
values within those boundaries have, DUR
ing the past few years, been creeping up
with tremendous rapidity, and today
ground on some of the best corners is
worth at the rate of from s5,OOO,OO0 to
$4,000, 900 an acre. The regular assessor
for the south division, within which that
district is located, fixed and reported the
total value of all the grounds and buildings
in the district at $10.S73,9S0. The COM
missioners, however, after careful investi-
cation. find the property to be worth
$1O7,393. 90. The difference in these
two valuations is, in round numbers, $780,
100000!
If such revelation as that will not
cause Chicago taxpayers to think and act
vigorously, with view of speedily bring
ing about sweeping reform, it will be be-
cause they enjoy official rascality and are
willing to pay for it.
The territory investigated thus far is
only about one-fourth of what the commits
soners will cover. Further revelations
from them will be awaited with deep in
terest.

rer, whose mastery playing of the violin
has won him an enyiable reputation among

the selections rendered by Mr.. Ferrer,
which were a rare musical treat, Mrs.
Whitman's exquisite playing on the guitar
was an additional pleasure. There was a
song by Mrs. Shelly Tolhurst, accompanied
by Mr.. Ferrer and Mrs. Whitman, that
gave SO much pleasure that a repetition
was demanded. The latter part of the
evening was given up to conversation and
the enjoyment of very delicious supper.

Maud Loomis' Appeal Being in Vain She
WiH Serve Fifteen Years
ImpriSonment

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 2L-On the
night of May g. 1894, State Senator Peter
Morrissey was shot and killed by his
mistress, Maud Loomis, during drunken
quarrel at the latter's residence in this
city. The Loomis woman has relatives
prominent in local society circles and the
best legal talent was employed in her
defense. Her trial resulted in a verdict
of guilty of murder in the second degree
and the court sentenced her to fifteen
years Imprisonment at Jefferson City.
The case was appealed to the Supre me
Court and yesterday the decision of the
lower court was affirmed.
Pending the decision the woman was
released on $4,000 bail. During the past
twenty-four hours detectives were unable
to locate her and it was feared that she
had fled the city. This morning Miss
Loomis surrendered at police headquarters
and stated that she would be ready to
leave for Jefferson City at any time.

His wife met him at a revival meeting

gers who arrived from Havana reported
that it is reported that Weyler has failed
in his campaign against Maceo. Though
no accurate data are obtainable as to the
latter's movements all reports agree thar
he has divided his force into small bands
who harass the Spanish troops, but fight
no pitched battles.
Weyler's marches have been painful,
and his soldiers have suffered great hard
ships. In consequence, 1900 soldiers have
been sent to Candelaria sick. Most OF
Weyler's staff are sick and returning TO
Havana. He Is also falling back, and will
establish headquarters near Artemisia at
the estate Pillar, which he claims is bet
ter base of operations.
The Spaniards in Havana are indignant
at Weyler's inability to crush the insur-
rection in Pinar del Rio, and mutterings
are heard. General Pandor, who is COM
ing with re-enforcements, is indicated as
Weyler's probs bic successor.
All are respondent in Havana, and con-

CHICAGO. ILL, Nov. 2i.-Congressman
Robert R. Hit, chairman of the House
Com mittee on Foreign Relations and a
candidate for the Senate to succeed Sena-
tor Palmer, is at the Great Northern.
When asked what action he believed the
United States Government should take in
regard to the Cubans' struggle for inde-
pendence Mr.. Hit said:
"Our duty to the Cubans is practical
and pressing one. Our Govern ment should
act at once, recognizing the belIigerency
OF people carrying on so extensive a war
They have fought great armies for year
and half with success. The Spanish
people have really been on the defensive
most of the time, and have lost all OF the
island except the fortified places and the
lines they actually occupy. The Cubans
are truly belligerents. Such action on
the part of our country would be of great
advantage to them. Recognition of bel
Hgerent rights is due under the practices
of general international law and practice
OF the United States Government. We
refuse to see that they are belligerent
enough to defy and defeat 10000 Spanish
troops. This is not question OF sympa-
thy, but OF plain, pressing duty, that
should be performed Immediately. The
Nation, through Congress, has spoken.
There is no need TO fear a war. The en-
Hghtened opinion OF the world expects
such action on the part OF our Republic
and will approve it."
