SELL THE STATES TAX LIEN

Recurring to the subject Of the en-
forcement of the payment of taxes. in
the discussion of which we suggested
that the committee of the legislature
now going over the whole matter of
taxation might consider whether q
better remedy than the confiscation of
land might not be devised. the COM
mittee might we'll make inquiry as to
the efficacy of the threat of transferring
absolutely the title for delinquency as
a revenue producer. The state audi
tors reports bear conclusive evidence.
IN the statement OF arrears of taxes due
the state, that the Draconian penalty
has not produced its anticipated re-
suit Of speedy and prompt payment.
An investigation of court records for
instances where suits have been brought
to test the validity Of titles based upon
proceedings to enforce the payment of
taxes would develop the surprising fu-
tility of the arbitrary and inequitable
law. Is it well for the state and for
the general respect for the law that the
legislature should enact a law confis
eating land for non-payment of taxes
which so shocks the common sense of
justice that courts avail themselves Of
every technicality to defeat it?
The need Of the state is revenue. This
it must have, and the citizens must con-
tribute it. While it is the duty of the
citizen on whom the burden first falls
to bear it, and while he should not be
allowed to escape 1t, the necessities Of
tbs state will not permit it to await his
pleasure or convenience. and it is i'm
material to it who pays the allotment

WHERE is PROSPERITY"
Depew Answers the Question for
New York Editors.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The fourth
annual meeting of the Republican
Editorial association Of the state Of
New York gathered in the handsome
dining room of the Union Lea que club,
of Brooklyn, tonight where a banquet
was served in their honor. Covers were
laid for $50 and Chauncey M. Depew
was the chief speaker Of the evening.
Mr.. Depew said, in part:
The country cries, Where is your pros
perity? When are the good times to begin?"
The bankrupt firm and the insolvent railroad,
the people overwhelmed by a great calamity,
Go not rise instantly to their former condi-
items or better ones. Confidence is not the
growth of a night it is the creation of hun
dreds of tributary elements which ultimately
do succeed in enabling it to accomplish its
benefcent work.
We can praise President Cleveland for
many acts, for many admirable things he has
done, but the army of honest money and of
American industries saw the divisions and
the disorders in the camp, and the insubordi-
nation OF the generals. They felt the inspira-
tion Of the true commander, and without re-
gard to previous affiliations, Republicans and
sound money Democrats rallied to the stand
ard of Mckinley. The differences between
Cleveland and Mckinley as presidents and
popular leaders is that Cleveland is a philos-
opher and Mckinley man of affairs.
The power of the people will compel their
representatives in congress to support an
administration which is their own. Already
we feel the good times. We have $685.
000,000 TO our credit as against the rest of
the world 1t only needs confidence in the
stability Of legislation and administration for
the next four years for that golden current to
flow into new enterprises, giving new en-
pfoyment and stimulation to every activity
Of farm, mine and factory.
Among the other speakers were Elihu Root
who delved somewhat into the political situa-
ton; w. j. Arkell. Of Judge, and Henry

Neil Burgess New County Fair without
Neil Burgess opened a brief engagement at
the Metropolitan last night and but for the
familiar race scene, which brought the play
to Close one could with difficulty recog-
nize the vehicle which Mr.. Burgess used so
successfully in bringing out the delicate inter
mixture Of bucolic verdancy and the wisdom
which comes to those who live in cities. The
present company, instead of depending upon
the story of ''The County Fair" interpolates
a number Of specfalties which materially
helped out the original production. There is
very good singing and buck dancing negro
quartette. and the horse show also fur
nishes enjoyment OF the cast, little need be
said. Kittie Beck was a sprightly Taggs,
and made the most of soubrette role: Edna
Terry was rather a winsome, natural coun-
try girl, and w. r. Healy was commendable
in that he did not share in the drag-it-out-as-

the owner pays the tax it is the duty of
the state to see that he obtains the
same security for repayment that the
state had The state has an indefeasi-
BILE lien upon the land for the amount
due it. But the state now goes fur
ther and forecloses it's lien by fixed, ar
bitrary process, regardless Of any
equities that may exist and needless of
the hardship involved in confiscating
values to collect l or per cent Of
them
Nor has the attempt to convey title
proved an inducement for men to pay
the delinQuents taxes on the security
offered. In the earlier years Of the law
this was done The high rate of interest
and the expectation Of getting a valid
title in a short time stimulated the COW
etousness of some, bred a crop Of
''tax-title sharks and started a pro-
life growth of litigation, not yet fully
harvested. But as court after court
held the titles invalid, the purchaser
found himself in the predicament of
having an investment demanding an
nual increase to preserve it, without OPP
portunity to reduce 1t to possession
Then came the provision, an act of
common justice, refunding to the pur-
chaser his money when his title failed
and recharging the land with the taxes.
But this operated to defeat the revenue,
the basic purpose of the law. The
state is RENTED to it's title to the land,
which it does not want, and refunds
the money, which it does want
If the state would establish it's lien
upon land by the present judicial pro-
ceedings and then offer the lien for
sale, bearing the present or even
lower rate of interest, barring all dis
pute of the lien except upon the ground
Of prior payment Of the tax, making
subsequently paid taxes an addition to
the lien and permitting the lien holder
his action in court to foreclose his lien
when 1t amounts to some reasonable
percentage of the assessed value of the
land, it would offer an inducement to
capital, remove the cOnfiscatory feature
that now defeats the revenue purpose,
bring courts and legislatures into ac-
cord in the full enforcement of the
law, diminish litigation and insure rev.

CARNEGIE OPTIMISTIC.
Expects Great Things in the Near
Future

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Jan. 21.-Andrew
Carnegie was the guest of Johnstown
today and his reception On the arrival
Of the special train from Pfttsburg was
the cordial and hearty tribute of honor
by grateful people. The reception
was prompted by the fact that Mr.. Car
negie rebuilt the public library here
after the flood and was the largest in
diVldua1 contributor to the relief fund
At 8 o'clock Mr.. Carnegie, as the
guest of the board of trade, was greet
ed by an immense audience at the opera
house. Mayor Wagner and Hon. John
M. Rose, president of the board Of trade
delivered the addresses Of welcome. Mr.
Carnegie reiterated his Well-knOWn
opinions on the relation Of labor and
capital, and said rich and poor, employ
er and employees, should be equally in
terested in the maintenance Of the same
standard, whether gold or silver, be-
cause the employer Of labor is proper
Gus only when labor is prosperous and
in great demand
'EWhy is it that business has not re-
Viyed as was expected after the result
of the national election was declared?
Well, I think people expected too much
or too early recovery. The season Of
the year for recovery is after spring
opens and we could scarcely expect
sufficient momentum in January to
overcome the inertia of the mass which
lay immovable, but the conditions are
all most favorable and business as a
whole, is upon a sound foundation.
There is no initiation in anything; prices
are all low. To supplement this We
have gained more than $500, 900, 900 last
year in our foreign trade-a most re-
markable circumstance. Unless some
surprise is sprung upon the country
nothing can hold it back from a

from it's imagination, to sugar the dose,
the nice fiction of some terrific battle
Plat has waged for years, at last sue
cessfully, against Tammany, thus illus
trating his purity and pluck. One can
imagine the sly wink Platt will tip to
Lauterbach when he reads the marked
copy Of the Wisconsin duly sent him.

penses and, as it Is in their line Of bust
ness, the underwriters are supposed to
be the proper ones to handle these
funds. Nobody makes any money out
of it. AS soon as the revenue from
this tax is greater than the cost Of
maintaining a corps, it is either put
into a building for permanent quarters
or used in equipptng another company
And while these corps save a good
deal Of property in the course Of
year, 1t is the assured as we'll as the
companies that profit by it. Minnie
apoliS has had $125,000 in salvage In the
year or more the corps have been run
ming. This is not so much a saving to
the companies as to those owning
property. If a man has an insurance
policy, say for 80 per cent of a stock
valued at 100000, and $4,000 of it is
destroyed, the salvage of 500, 900 Is a
saving for the owner of the property.
Salvage does not begin to be Of any
service to the insurance companies in
cases of heavy fires until 1t reaches
an amount above that which was not
covered by insurance. Besides there
Is no distinction made by corps in
running to a fire whether or not there
is any insurance ON a building. AS
great efforts are made to save it as If
1t were insured for it's full value An
efnc1ent salvage corps is one of the
best things a city can have, and for
that reason it can be seen why any
thing in the line of rivalry would be

that Is technically correct, he expects
