The True american, in making COM
parison between the recommendations of
Comptroller of the State of New York, and
the Special Tax Commission of this State
finds that =
" A vast amount of personal property in
the hands of large holders escapes taxation.
:" The New Jersey Tax Commission found
the same condition to exist in this State.
The New York Comptroller urges legis-
lation which shall provide for finding this
property and for taxing it.
:" The New Jersey commission advocated
the recognition of the fact as one unalter-
able in itself and as forming a standard
whereby the railroads should be taxed at a
lower rate.
" The New York Comptroller calls atten-
ton to the fact that the unequal burdens
imposed upon the small holder of property
is breeding discontent,if not revolt against
existing methods.
The New Jersey Commission thinks it
is best to leave well enough alone, and only
yield to the demand of the people for equal
taxation by suggesting that part of the
property now paying small tax to the
State shall pay it to the municipalities.
The New York Comptroller is wiser
than the New jersey Commission, because
he recognizes that the people want equal
taxation, and that the only way to get 1t is
to have the property of all the people
sought for by careful means, assessed at fair
and equal values, and taxed at the same
rate.
The scheme suggested to the present
Legislature holds ii Tn he an offanaa nm the
part OF the State to fully assess the property
OF the railroads, because the other property
in the State is not assessed, and offers as
remedy that the railroads pay low tax to
balance the low assessment levied on other
property.
The true remedy is to provide 81 stem
which shall discover all property, and tax
it evenly"

Our legislators up at Trenton are more
concerned about filing the offices than in
questions of economy in public expenditures
and devising ways and means for tightening

of smoke curled out of the cellar window
Of big building on Market street at 6 80
o'clock in the morning. A few hours later
one of the most valuable blocks of real es-

raging flame. It was the block bounded
by Market, Thirteenth, Hilbert and Juniper
streets, in the very heart of the city. A
few steps to the right doomed the massive
city hall, around the corner stands the
great Pennsylvania railroad terminal.
The total loss is variously estimated at
from 81, 100000 to 100000, but in the
chaos and confusion now existing it is all
but impossible to secure accurate figures.
The losses are very generally covered by
insurance.
